Most of the girls had picture hats and great capes of black velvet or sealskin, at which we only cast a passing glance, as all were deposited in the dressing-room, pace being at a premium, but then any one who does not enjoy a jam should ever attend a tea, and I heard at least a zen men remark that they had never realized how jolly a tea was until v.

However, a friend of mine, who is a bloomer bicyclist, does so. I said to her, “Next time try wearing your bloomers,” and that is a hideous idea, for fancy a tea under such circumstances! I have just been reading about the Phila- delphia (Pa.) Century Club, and find that it was designed by that remarkable woman, Mr: -Townsend, all her desires having been carried out by a practical woman architect. The library ‘and committee- rooms, etc., are on the first floor, and on the second floor is a spacious drawing-room with & wonderfully perfect miniature stage tace, | oint | lar of green- | | |ane | for the many intellectual feasts constantly | presented to its members, but also for the | | wor, | dish’’ counter. | ete., and it w Al it to- | i pretty | | rich lace. was a 1 wnired debutante f dull | crimson silk through which ran stripes of dull green, brown, yellow and pink.

The yoke is edged with sable. The large satin bow at the back matches the velvet, asdo also the black feathers at the neck those on the hat, which is made of the same The buttons are of bandsome green, white, black and purple enamel. The other gown has a skirt of rose pink taffeta, but the waist is relieved with the duli green satin embroidered in black silk. The same embroidery appears around the skirt. The sleeves are of white Dresden silk covered with green and pink blurred roses.

Three long pieces extend up the front, ending in choux with diamond | centers. Such a waist isronly a success when good laceis used, otherwise it will be a complete ailure. The lace completely covers.the back and ends ‘in two square little tails. The chou has a diamond center. Mme. Esperi, a noted Paris dressmaker, has lately completed a most delightful | evening gown. It is cut en princesse and is decollete and is composed of rich ivory White satin, which_shows a front of royal rose pink velvet. Where the two join the satin is cut in deep scailops, which are most exquisitely embroidered in . pink pearls. The very low-cut bodice is beld in place by whiie satin ribbons, which pass over the shoulders, the odd sleeves are rose-colored mousseline de soie. On the right side, extending from the bust to the waist, are three choux of rose velvet with pearl centers, A very lovely young girl here wore when receiving lately at alarge tea given on Broadway a gown of pale-green satin, simply but most artistically designed, the godeted skirt hung to perfection and the waist with elbow-sleeves fitted equally well. Satin ribbons, edged deeply with gold sequins gave a Frenchy touch to the prettiest frock worn by any of the young girls present. Most men fancy that women are never so happy as when ordering or having made new gowns, but the truth isthat unless a woman can go to the best of tail- ors or dressmakers she has, to say the least, an annoying and fatiguing time; of course if her patience is rewarded with success, she is radiant, but only too frequently when she has every reason to expect a dainty, pretiy frock, she -Teceives an ab- surd affair, which bas neither fit nor styie, and I will always maintain_that the most expensive dressmakers like the most = however, an intellizent woman who sews well, frequently does wonders when she understands fully what is desired, but so few know exactly 3 y wish, s result is more oiten than not unsat o _Worth always kept a large number of birds from all parts of the world and many rare flowers, and on one occasion he in- | formed a patron that when he required i new ide as concerning combinations he studied birds and flowers, and since then I have heard that many of our most successiul dressmakers do likewise, for to h our gowns correct the designers must not only study the -historical descriptions one I, so as to properly shades and colors As a Paris corre- “During the coming be true artists as we bandle the exquisite now at their command. spondent remarks: season styles belonging to all periods of French history will be seen, li uhto a us in eidescope of carrying rushing swi , heavy splendor of the Middle Ages to more elaborate if perhaps less grand peciod of Francois Premier, and gently ghding to the dainty and exquisitely coi- ored modes of the Louis from first to last.”” Every one of us may not only find “ser- mons in stones,” but many a valuable sug- gestion for our worldly needs from our feathered friends and from every flower that blooms.

Another beauty is in black lisse, mounted on tortoise shell. richly inlaid with gold and decorated by a charming idyl in color. Yet another I have heard described as being of white lace mounted on a rare and costly species of black mother-of-pearl carved in relief. Neck ruffles are 5o much in vogue that descriptions of new ones are in order. One that looks like a thick rope is canght here and there with Jittle frills. It is made en- tirely of whiteé chiffon and edged with black lace. The long ends are trimmed with the lace in a wider width. Delightful coliars are made of the Nero black lisse with white lace appliqued on it. An exceptionally handsome sable boa worn here by a stylish woman has two heads and ten tails. It is quite a fad of the moment for those artistically inclined to paint leather screens. The leather comes prepared for this purpose in many unusually attractive art shades. Straw lamp shades are novelties which have met with approval. Tulle shades are very fashionable and many consider them to be the most beau- tiful devices to soften lamplight. Imagine ten or fifteen double ruffies of pale-rose tulle superimposed, the surface unbroken to the top, for no ribbons or flowers appear on these shades, which vary in price from $15 to $35, according to size.” Something quité new are shades of chameleon orrain- bow gauze. Thesesilk gauzes have a white round and are splashed with pink, yel- ow, green, blue and other colors. When drawn together into the double puffs that compose the shades the effect is extremely pretty and the light passes through the opalescent tints with a soft radiance that is most agreeable. When of large size shades of this kind cost $25. If you can afford but one handsome banquet lamp let me advise you to select one of cut glass, as it not only. adds bril- liancy to your table but goes so exquisite- ly with any flower used and every course costly silks, are the cheapest in the end; | sot, besides you will not weary of it as you perjods, but must | ness from_ihe ponder- | soled as possible, are the most fashionable footgear this winter is attributed to the golf craze from which New York is suffer- ing. The toes must be well rounded, not pointed, indeed the pointed toes are de- cidedly out of style. The gray Hombourg hat to be correct should have a black ribbon round it. I saw one yesterday with a ribbon exactly matchingthe felt, and the result was de- cidedly unhappy. Umbrellas with steel stems only are fashionable. They, when rolled, should not be more than an inchin thickness, | and should be carried, when not in use, like a walking stick. Smartly attired men are never seen wearing fobs on watehguards, any dis- | play of jewelry being decidedly bad form. The all-around turned-down collar is daily increasing . in favor, but thus far neither the white silk waistcoats nor_the softksxlk shirts have 'been scen in New ork. The most correct thing in handkerchiefs is of fine white linen, with hems not ex- ceeding a quarter of an inch¥in depth. Corduroy waistcoats are worn with cycling, driving and golfing costumes.

It is said that there are as many ideals of beauty as there are men. This truism: also applies to other things, which is well, otherwise we should be bored. Suppose every lover proposed in precisely the same way! One effect would be the demolishing of the business of the storv-writer. De- cember authors gallantly vary the inter- | esting moment in their tales. Here is the | way they get around the ditficulty : | Mr. Howells’ young lady in Harper's, after flatly telling the young man that she guesses she doesn’t care for him and he can go away, sngs: “Thank you. I only wished to know the worst. And you're not going away hating me?” | “Noj; loving you more than ever.” | She turns her face and averts her eyes. “Why—what are you—going for?"’ | | ~ “Pnhillippa!”’ He throws his arms about her and clasps her to him. Mr. Howells offers no explanation for her turnabout propensities. is silence adds weight to his well-known scorn for vacil- lating woman. Kate Douglass Wiggin strings out the | proposal in her story to a column, whichis | bad—at least for the article. But the lov- | ers are 40 and 36, so 1t does not much mat- | ter. And they had been engaged before. In truth Madge Robertson has a pretty story of a wealthy young medical student, who so pities a deformed little child at a clinic that he finally allows her to keep the coveted ‘exquisite silver box of bon- bons he was about to carry as a birthday gift to the girl of his heart, He explains to the young lady the absence of any gift from him. When he had finished there | photographs. were tears in the girl’s eyes, and she ex- tended her hands. “‘You will go and see the little thing again,” she said, softly, “and I—I should like to go with you.” “Always?"’ ventured the young fellow, his heat beating painfully. 5 He kissed her hand. Then he kissed her arm. Then he looked up into her eyes, and then—he kissed her lips. All this goes to prove that the way to wina girlis to find an object of charity and bestow on it something intended for her. 3 In Lippincott’s Mary F Stickney's novel, “The Old Silver Trail,” has a dou- ble-barreled proposal. The first does not count, because the silver mine blows up and kills the girl’s father in the midst of it, and the girl breaks with her lover, whom her father hated, because he 'has ideas about Providence and its interfer- ence, Here is the second one: “Is it really you?”’ he incredulously whispered with trembling touch caressing the little hands. ‘“You here! Wuy are you here, Dorothy "’ ‘“The doctor wrote me that youn were sick,” she faltered, ner fingers tightening on his with a sort of shuddering tender- ness as at a remembered terror. “And you came for that, Dorothy, sweetheart? The last time I saw you you told me that you hated me. It was not true?”’ “I think—I think more of you—than I thought I did,”” she murmured. “Ah, the happy thought! you for it, sweetheart—mine !’ This is essentially a Western method of patching up affairs, There is nothing so efficacious in the wielding together of two severed hearts as a case of brain fever and an understanding doctor. Robert Barr’s hero is irightfully prosaic in “The Understudy” in the Cosmopol- itan. *‘Ob,” answered the girl, “I have no patience with you.” “I am sorry for that, Mary,” said Or- mond, “for if I could have made a living I intended to ask you to be my wife.” **Oh,” cried the girl, breathlessly, turn- ing her head away. After the wshal de- murrer she sa; es.” Further search reveals the amazing fact that the proposal—in literature at least— is becoming obsolete. Stories there are of a plenty, butin the English publications they mostly relate to mysterious disap- pearance of diamonds or are tales of con« spiracy or intrigue, and in the American product the proposal is all done behind the scenes—the reader is introduced to the God bless | engaged couple or to the married pair. The sentimental age is p: ng, evidently, and we contemptuously hurry over tha romantic episodes to reach those dramatic crises in life which seem to occupy thae attention of both writers and readers.— Chicago News.
