FEATURES 1N FEMININE LIFE Fashions and Foibles, Lovos and Labors of the Gentlor Bex, BUSY LIFE OF THE LATE MRS, WHITNEY A Parisian oforms— Tolltieal and Lite Fad—Kate ¥ Mo y Notables 14 on Dress murs of Coming les— Feminine Porsonall Flora Payne Whitney, the daug of one statesman and the wifo of another, will be sadly missed in many differ- ent circles. As the wife of William C Whitney, sec of the navy, she was a social leader in Washington in Presi- dent Cleveland’s administration and in her own right as a brilliant and even scholarly woman she was a loade among the leaders, She was an author- ity on archwology, & linguist and a writer of no mean talent. She had been a private pupil of Louis Agassiz, & thorough student of music and an un- usually intelligent obsc r of affairs of state under the guidance of her father, Senator I 1e of Ohio. Mrs, Whitney, who died at 3 o'clock on Sunday, February 5, was 41 years old and had been married twenty-one She was born in Cleveland and had 1i in New York most of the time since her marriage. For the past Mrs. Whitney and Mrs. G land have been very clo She met William C. W hnn.\) about twenty-five years ago. He was at that time a lawyer of little reputation, and co nparatively no means. He was con- scientious in his devotions to duty, and soon made for himself a place at the bar of New York state. Their acquaintance soon ripened into love, and their mar- riage followed not long after. Soon after um marriage Colonel Payne gave his the magnificent house at nth street and Fifth avenue, been occupied by tor In this house Mrs. Whitney made a charming hoste Having wealth at her command and the natural abilities of aleader of socioty, she delighted all . whom she came in contact with. At Nowport, where the Whitneys had a peantiful summer home, Mrs. Whitney was as popular as she was in the metropolis. In her home Mrs. Whitney was a kind and affectionate mother and wife, never forgetting the duties she owed to her tamily. To friends and acquaintances she was equally kind and generous and she did much toward the advancement of practical charit Four children were norn to the Whit- neys. The only son, Henry Payne Whit- ney, is an undergraduate” in Yale col- lege. The sury o daughters, Pauline and Dorothea, are aged respectively 18 and 8 years. One of the prettiest debutantes of this season in New York was Mrs. Whit- ney's eldest daughter, i Hor mother's death will nip her f perience of the pleasures of society in the bud, and practically has closed the ‘Whitney mansion, which self an ir- reparablo loss to the society which has 80 often been entertained there. Mrs. Whitney was of modium height, with a slender and graceful figure. She possessed a happy temperament, which }n‘r friends seldom saw clouded, although of late years the trouble with her heart gave her cause for serious anxiety. Her hair was prematurely white, but her gentle face retained the glow of fresh- _ness of youth up to the period of her last sickness. " Kate Field grites in her Washington: The 5,000 or more ladies who have joined the No Crinoline league should remem- ber the homely injunction not to get scared until they are hurt. Rumors of the return of the hoopskirt are like threats of war in Europe—very exciting while they last, but most unlikeiy to be founded on fact. The simple truth of the matter is that for several years the dressmakers of London and fm ris have been making the skirt lighter and lighter in weight, thus taking a great load off the feminine mind as well as the feminine body. They first banished heavy draperies; then the foundation skirt had to go; then an attack was made on every inch of ma- terial that could possibly be spared and leave the semblance of a skirt. The re- sult was neat and comfortable, but it had one great fault—the wearer's boots were as much in evidence as her gloves. The natural result of this state of things is the revival of the gored skirt. It is light in weight, graceful in outline and gives the necessary fullne at the foot. To predict that it will be spoiled with wire stiffening is a libel on modern woman, who has been steadily improving her dress for the last twenty years. Wo hate the rumor of a new fashion because we have not yet scena pretty woman adorning it, butall experience has shown that whatever the gentler sex elects to wear it always appears at the tiful and suitable in her own e thoso of contemporary mankind. ¥ *'w It is a kindly as well as a convenient fashion, the New York Tribune, which has been inaugurated of late by certain of our grandes dames—that of giving the commission for the cotillon [avors for their dances to some less for tunate friend, to whose modest resources the liberal recompense is u welcome ad- dition, and whose good taste and judg- ment prove a veritable blessing to the harvassed giver of the feast, who has necessarily so much detail to attend to at such atime, Only a refined and tasteful woman can give the dainty touches to the prepara- tion and arrangement of the pretty gew- gaws which fashion has decreed shall be lavished at a hig ball, Happily it is no longer the thing for wealthy hosts and hostes: to give costly and ostentatious presents on these oceasions, and the beauty of the pretty trifles consists almost entively in theiv selection, Long ribbons are always prime favor- ites for favors, and are greatly coveted Dy the fair dancers, who, while enjoying the distinction of belledom, have also frugal minds and consider the question of next summer’s hats while they count un(h--u- trophies. The beauty of these ective, long, floating ribbons is greatly anhnnu-d if they are caught up with a bunch of artificial French flowers, which also is prized as part of the becoming hat to be. Sachets make a charming favor, but must be made by some one who knows the difference between vulgar scent and the faint violet perfume which is so sug- gestive and attractive. Fans are always acceptable, and grab- bags were introduced at a recent cotillon with great success. These may be made of four different colors, or even of six, and passed about by each suceeeding group of couples, At a private dance there are usually at least four sets of favors, and as these must bo distributed to both men and women, and as there are usually from gmly five Io forty couples at a large cotillon, it will readily bo seon that a woman of resource and taste would prove a perfect godsend to her employer. G The monotony of tho daily “horse play" in the North Dakota deadfocked logisia- ture was broken recently when thirty democrats and populists d for Mr Dell A. MeCormack, wife of Senator Me- Cormack, United States senator, making her, for that one day, second in the senatorial honor: Two D! rived one vote ach. deadlock was not broken and they are still balloting for senator in North Da- kota, but Mrs. McCormack retains the honor of having been neaver to election to the United States senate than any other woman ever was, not exceptir Mrs. Lease of Kansas. Mrs. MeCormack was born in St.Paul, Minn., her father being Morris Lyons, a substantial and enterprising business man of that ¢l i years old and has been married eleven ycars, She is of a semi-brunectte type and weighs about 150 pounds. She has pleasant tures, with brown hair and davk gray She was educated in West Vie- ginia and graduated from a college in Wheeling at the age of 18, nee h marriage she has lived in Grand For husband was sccretavy of of Dakota under Cleveland yoars and a half, and was act- rnor for some time. He is ono he wealthiest and oldest citizens in During all sessions of the inco statehood, and two ses- to statchood, Mrs. MeCor- been with her husband at the pital, living there most of the time while her husband was in oftice. She is as bright as she is handsome and very popular with all classes. * Mrs. Burton Harrison seems to be a woman favored by the gods, rejoicing in that trinity of richness, brains, beauty and social place. She is a plump, sweet- faced woman, with fair hair, looking much younger than one expects, and showing no trace of burden or anxiety of literary work in her sne, unlined face. Seen recently at a woman's club, says the New York Sun, she was self- possessed but unassuming, the faultless simplicity of her gown in marked con- trast with the gorgeous bedizenment of the women about her. For the women of note, particularly those still only in the borderland of the charmed country where laurel erowns grow on hedges and gold guineas pave the highways, are as prone to overdre thei ypes too much the da everity of when the title of blue- nated.

At least her trick of ing graceful tales might have been given to the woman who has missed the rest.” Among the tributes to her talent which Mrs. Harrison values most highly for its sinceri a western rancher who named Pink, after the girlin herstory Nest,” and told a friend of hers, travel- ing through the region, that the maga- zine containing the story had “been wll around the range.” “But it always comes back,” he added, “for I'v ened to shoot the be )\' that kee; The “flower I)th rendered fashion- able by Lentheric, the great Parisian perfumer, are at the same time so dainty and so healthful that lhuy deserve a special mention. Th(‘y ¢ prepared in the following way: Three handfuls of dried violet flowers are put_at the bot- tom of the tub and soaked in boiling water for half an hour, when cold or tepid water is added, and the bath is sady. The water has thus become deli- clously perfumed and extremely calming to the nerves by virtue of the little fra- yrant blosson A bath of lime flowers is also particuldrly soothing to the ove excited nerves. [t is worthy of note that herb baths are a very Old World remedy for disordered nerves and spirits. In years gone by melancholia was regavded as a disorder amen- able to treatment, and a favorite vemedy was a b of mal- lows, pellitory-of-the- camonmilo flowers, hotlyhocks, I and new milk, taken at blood heat. Spinach, glycerine and rosewater, oatmeal and orange flower water are variously Teo- ommended as excellent skin baths. The most luxurious on record seems to have been Mme. Tallien's favorite bath, which was prepared, so the gossips of her time report, of twenty pounds of strawberrles and two of raspberries, crushed and thrown into the bath, from which the bather emerged with skin freshly perfumed, soft as velvet, and tinged with a delicate pink. ' course, is far too expensive a proceed- ing to suit ladies of moderate means, and can be ranged with the bath prepared of freshly gatherved violets, rose petals and orango blossoms, to which the still so beautiful Countess de Pourtales ascribes the wonderful fashion in which she has for the last thirty years preserved her marvelous bloom.” "A very cheap and excellont bath, however, is easily pro- cured by filling' a muslin bag with two quarts of ovdinary bran, one pound of powdered stavch and a quarter-pound orris-root powder. This bag is soaked c and left in the tub during the process of bathing. It renders the water smooth, milky and fragrant, and is excellent for the skin * ¥ When a maiden is betrothed in many she is called *‘bride” by her sw he: who addresses her thus until becomes time to call her “wife.” Immediately upon betrothal the lovers oxchange rings, which, if the course of true love runs smooth, are to be worn s aftorwards until death parts them. The woman wears her betrothal ving on the thivd finger of her left hand. The husband continues to wear the ring just as the wife wore hers when she was a “bride,” so that one can tell easily at a glance if a man be or be not engaged as to his affections. A young German matron, on being told of the careless American custom of leaving the man go unfettered, ex- claimed: *‘Oh, how dreadful! How un- just to the young wives! How could T expose my Wilhelm—80 young—only to the temptations of the world if he were not to wear & marviage ring? Tho girls would make love to him. I would not live in ,\nn'l'u'n.[m' the world.” ¥ In London Truth'Henry Labouchere says: **What surprises mo, considering the vast number of ladies who preach the equality of the sex in overything, is that an effor not made to secure equal rvights in proposing. marry is more important to a woman than to have a vote. Why, then, should propos- ing be limited to one sex? Men are naturally more bashful than women, and the result of the present onoe- -sided rule 15 that many a man remaius single be- cause he cannot bring his courage up to the proposing point, and, as a necessary consequence, many a uhl remains hus- handless. association of girls, euch l | embody & renaissance of all plmlgnd to propose to any man w hnm nhn | Mm-n vlvv!h might deem a des be far more pr rable husband, would ical than an anti-erino- | line soctety.” The late John G. to a newly married friend: “‘Bachelor as [ am, T congratulate thee on thy escape from single (misery) blessedness, It the very wisest thing thee ever did. Were I autocrat I would sce to it that every young man over 25 and every young woman over 20 were married with- out delay. Perhaps, on second thought, it might be well to kvup one old maid and one old bachelor in each town, by way of warning, just as the Spartans did their drunken Helots Murmurs of the Modes. The new French vrille or gimlet bengalines are called ondine silk in the shops. Bands of narrow velvet, with rosette bows, trim the skirts of semi-dress and evening costumes. Dressy bonnets are made of jet and beads of all colors, and trimmed with rolls of velvet and aigrettes. There is a furore for low, not only in dress, but in houschold decorations and especially floral additions. A pretty and becoming hat is of very fine net shirred over thick silk. The trimming is of puffs of lace, birds' wings and aigrettes. Corded silk is replacing satin dal gowns, and coffee tinted la ferved to others. At weddi maids appear oftener in by than in white or cream. Fine watered moire Francais and black matelasse fabrics are favorite trimmings on the new Lenten toilets of black armure, and Victoria silk that have just ai The China silk parasol, with huge floral designs in the silk, a frill ak the ¢ and a stick of ivor den China, will appear with summer gowns of organdie and challis. Ruffles and big sleeves seem to be the distinctive features of this season’s cos- tume. A velvet capelet finished with a deep rue, wifllth sleeves to mateh, is a fashionable and becoming style. Women have not only appropriated masculine fashions, but have discovered the worth and durability of masculine materials as well, and are using them for usefui street and traveling gowns. Small girls wear party dresses, with slips of silk covered with erepe de chine or chiffon, Plaitings of lace around the skirt, over the shoulder and as a finish for the sleeves, are a favorite trimming. A perfectly plain skirt of heavy silk, bengaline or velvet may be made up with a front of some contrasting mater- ial, or with the front of the same c ored with embroidery or passementerie. New waists show the fronts cut away in the shape of the fashionable dress vest. Inside of this is a front of shirred material, embroidery, passementerie, or the same goods finished with edging of needlework. A rustling silk petticoat is no longer the luxury it was. The newest skirts ave soft white wash goods with numer- ous ruffles around the bottom, each one daintily embroidered; such work as you will find done in the convents. Those who do not find the hair rolled off the face becoming ave having their bangs cut in a short fluffy fringe that, while it softens the face, does not give the vulgar look of the deep, full bang, which completely hides the forehead. House slippers of scarlet have upon them high, }ull rosettes of either white or black satin ribbon. Oeccasionally a flat, fanlike bow of Dblack lace, with a tiny steel clasp in the center, iy seen, but the high, full rosette of ribbon seems to be the favorite. Pearls and emeralds are profusely used in lace pins, rings, hat pins or hair ornaments. P ave ospecially popu- lar. Opals and turquoises are shown in many fashionable vings. Necklaces of pearls and rubies are much desirved. Jracelets are narrow, with precious stones set at intervals around the band. The fonduness for Persian coloring finds ex on in the useful and effective silk and satin ribbons, as well as in hand-wrought and woven bands, These ribbons are orviental in design, as well as in coloring, and on dressy toilets arve disposed on skirt and bodice in spreading bows and ends instead of loops. A dainty dress for afternoon tea is made of white cashmere in princesse fashion. The front is filled it with white crepon, with embroidery at the lower edge: the skirt has a plaited, embroid- ered ruffle; the sleeves are very full and finished with embroidery: the high collar is of velvet and turns back from a full ruching of chiffon. One of the new ways of trimming a corsage is to lay folds of velvet or bands of fur directly against the neck without the softening folds of chiffon or lace be- tween, The dark velvetor fur enhances the value of a white skin very materially, but after all there is mllhlu" $0 becom- ing as the yellow-white of old lace. Elegantly plain cloth of camel’s hair dresses have in many instances the seams lapped on the skirt over a silk lining and stitched twice as on a wide hem. Buttons and simulated button- noles are set on each side of the fronts from the waist down a portion or often the entire length of the skirt. The coming parasol affair indeed, with its ruchings and its flouncings and its ribbons. The more gauzy and "lhnmng it is the better, and some of the new designs look not unllkc an elaborate lamp shade. Hand-painted parasols are much liked, whether insilk in; and artificial flowers to match n are bunched on top with rib- bon n[ the same shade. Jowels galore are the order of the day this season, and every woman who pos- sesses them wear them with the lavish- ness of the queen of Sheba. The present style of dress well suits a brilliant dis- play of sparkling gems. Satin is the chosen fabric, especially in exquisite light shades, and velvet'alsois in hi favor. White or cream satin span with gold and silver and embroid for b is pre- brides- it colors y elaborate of many rich dresses The petticoat fron 7 are usually draped with lace or ¢! hiffon with garlands of flowers holding the flounces or festoons across the front. A pret )stume of light green crope is made with a round, gatheréd waist of crepe, bound around with ribbons at the belt to confine the full- ness, Cufl sleeves of crepe and agberthu of white lace around the round decol- letage. The skirt falls open from the belt, disclosing an underskirt of white satin with three wide flounces of wide lace, reaching above the knees.
