In evening shoes the novelty consists
in wearing the buckle and bow at the

In purchasing black materials ladies
are more and more studying the needs
of their respective complexions, the old
idea that this is necessary only where
cOlors are concerned, having long ago ex-
ploded. To set off to advantage the
freshness of blonde or the fairness of a
red-haired woman, a soft shade, as the
black of velvet, is wanted, while for a
brunette the black ought to be enlIven-
ed by glossy appearance, such as is OBJ
tanned in Lyons satin or silk, or even in

Nov.IaIe. at Home and Abroad.

A droll fancy lately developed at cos
tune balls--which, by the way, are in
high favor abroad at the present time
promises to be quite the fashion. This
consists of travestying the head only, and
produces, as may be imagined, both gro
tesque and frightful effects, the ordinary
bali toilets appearing in violent contrast
with the parodied polls rising out OF
them.
Among the more pleasing delineations
was that of "The Marvellous Cat" in
which the head of a fine specimen of the
feline race was seen peeping from out the
powdered coiffurc of lady 10 d 4 ~
mode. This same idea was illustrated ON
another occasion, when entire travesty
was the rule, with a dress of white satin,
bordered about with soft white fur and
gloves and shoes, with claw-like termina-
tions, added. The fancy for arrayiDg
themselves as actresses has likewise pos
sessed the fashionable world, and ladies
are actually copying not only the cos
TUNES but the characteristics of their
models.
Gauze scarfs which are draped in many
different styles are in vogue now, and
there have been several novel adapta-
tions of them recently. A remarkable
specimen worn on the occasion of Miss
Roosevelt's wedding, over rich toilet of
white satin, was of pale-blue Gauze--a
tint known as moonlight--and richly en-
broideTed with a shower of snowballs,

Polar Notions.

This is TIE way to get TO the north
pole. One man has been proposing rail-
way over the ice. No such bad plan
after all; but nothing to the proposal OF
an other enthusiast who would set Off in
a balloon from the ships quarters, and,
with favorable wind, try TO cross the
pole. They might be carried right over
to inhabited regions on the other side;
the distance, not over one thousand
miles. seems quite within the compass of
balloon undertakings. Or, again. set of
i'm a balloon from the ship with favora-
BILE wind, and without rise far above the
ice. establish a series of small provision
depots, say at twenty miles intervals,
marking the spots carefully by means OF
astronomical observations and flags, or
lights. The balloon would be furnished
with apparatus for laying hold OF the ice
where it might be desired to disembark
for this purpose. Supposing, after the
pole was reached, that the balloon was
incapacitated for return to the ship, the
party. lightly equipped, without slodges,
might make their way back on foot by
the help of these depots. Walking TWEEN
ty miles day, they could thus accom-
pIish the journey back in say twenty
days." This sounds absurd at the first
blush; but it really is not SC impossible
after all, especially it some simple effect
I'VE means could be found of generating
lighter gas, and these means carried in
the balloon, which would never rise
above twenty feet above the ice, being
kept down by drag ropes trailing over
the surface-OIce 4 Week.
