HOW FRENCH WOMEN DRESS
The Good Taste That Clothes Them
Cheapiy and Wen.

From the NeW York Mail.
The chief point TO note about the dress
Of a Partisan woman, no matter what her
station in life may be, is its appropriate
ness. She does not wear as costly gar
ments usually as the American OF the
same social class, but they are always
thoroughly suitable TO her position and to
the occasion on which they are to be
worn. A French elegante, for instance,
will neither 90 shopping in velvet COS
tune nor 10 a wedding or official recep-
ton in cloth jacket or cashmere gown.
She never goes ont on foot in superb and
snowy apparel, or appears at ball in
dark silk make high in the neck and with
long sleeves. Etiquette fOrbids her re-
ceiving even the most intimate Of her
gentlemen friends in her morning dress,
though this rule has been relaxed Of late
in favor OF the very superb morning toilets
Of brocade and satin and lace, which have
been concOcted for morning wear by the
leading Partisan dressmakers. These,
however, are simply reception toilets for
morning instead Of for afternoon wear.
II she desires TO go out on foot she dons
the simplest Of costumes In dark cloth or
cashmere. Her visiting costume may be
as magnificent as her purse or her
desires may make IL, and the same may
be said Of the dress In which she receives
callers on her "at-home" day. Her
theatre bonnet is much more snowy and
dressy than her visiting one. For street
wear she dons bonnet In very dark vel
vet or felt. In the matter Of gloves and
chaussure she Is always irreprOachab'e
For evening dress the satin slippers and
silk stockings precisely match the toiles
with which they are 10 be worn. There
was an attempt made at one time 10
introduce the wearing of scarlet bose and
black slippers with white evening dresses,
but It proved a total failure. Neither
were black slippers and stockings ever
worn in Paris with white or pale-tinted
ball dresses. That fashion was not
French, II was possibly English-and,
unfortunately, Il was American.

PosTAGEsTAMP PHOTOGRAPHS
A Successful Device 70 Make Handsome
Portraits of Plain Women.
From tie Ne10 York Sun.
From the PhHfdelDAia Times.


The 'postage stamp photograph" is the
latest contribution OF science to vanity.
As the peculiar merit Of these little pic
lures Is that they have the property of
transforming rather plain woman into a
"thing Of beauty" on a microscopic scale,
they are much sought after by the gentler
sex. Postage stamp photographs are
most uncomfortable hatterers. They
not only give delicacy and refinement
To coarse and homely features, but they
enhance the beauty of pretty face as
we'll. AS the name signifies these little
examples o. the photographers art are
the exact size and shape of an ordinary
letter postage stamp. Their edges are
perforated, they have mucilage on their
reverse side and around the figure or head
Is an ornamental border.
The idea is said 20 have originated in
ENGLAND. where the suggestion was had
from the head ofthe Queen on the ba'penny
stamps In use there. Like all English
frlvolties the little pictures soon found
their way 10 this country, and as their
natterlpg prOpensities become more
widely known doubtless the demand for
them will increase prOportiOnately. When
the full length figure ofa woman Is con-
tracted into tue limits Of postage stamp
photograph IL becomes as II by magic
graceful and captivating. the features
lose their irregularity and appear delicate
and peculiarly refined. The size Is also a
great advantage. The devoted swain can
paste bis sweethearts picture in the case
OF his watch, where he can gaze furtively
at IL every time he pretends 20 be looking
at the time O'day. A letter with oneOf the
seuders' pictures pasted on the corner Of
the motto paper Is doubly acceptable 20 q
