seam. and as heading for tucks, is on such
skirts. and French fancy is for edging the
hem with ball fringe of wool of the color
OF the flannel. Embroidery is still favor
lite trimming, and the handmade laces are
liked on pale blue and scarlet hannels.
For night wear are gowns of white opera
flannel made like the ordinary night dress.
and trimmed with tucks down the front
and a Scalloped ruffle. Wool corset-coyers
mode of tnely-woven Jersey webbing are
excellent for women with delicate lungs or
with very slight figures. The indispensa-
BILE addition to a wardrobe, the water
proof, has come to be quite a dressy article
of wear, made of a combination of silk
and rubber, the textile showing upon its
sheeny surface pretty check designs, mar
row stripes and shot and glace effects in
many attractive styles. These are
cut in long pelisse fashion, the
garments fitting the form quite closely,
and looking far more graceful
than the old style Of water proof-always a
shapeless, bulky wrap at Its best Among
the array OF exclusive winter wraps is one
model in surtout style. This is made of
golden brown brocaded cloth. with
clerical hood at the back made wholly
of fur. The wrap fastens down
the front with massive clasps, and
is bordered ali around with bands of nat
ural beaver. An elegant mantle is made of
cloth and triese plush OF very dark wine
color bortered with ruby-colored feather
bands. In front Is narrow feather vest
confined at the belt under double agraffes
of old silver and ruby stones representing
chimeras, in the style of the Mid
die Ages. This pelisse is extremely
long, coming down nearly to the foot
OF the dress. Less elegant, but warm and
luxurious for sleigh rides, is an immense
fur~lined Russian cloth with a seal cape
which covers the shoulders. The cloak at
the foot and upon the sleeves is finished
with bands of seal. There is a riding-hood to
match the seal. Long fur boas are revived,
the long-haired varieties being in most re-
quest. These are not tied as formerly. but
fasten closely under the chin with hand
some clasp. The longer the boas are the
more styligh they are considered.
BUT ABOUT THAT CLUB,
from which topic / have wandered. It was
copy OF the customs governing masculine
clubs. / think the girls overdid the thing in
some directions. For instance, holding il 10
be TACT that men are given to pictures re-
Veallng the feminine form more or less in
sufficiently adorned, the girls chose pictures
and figures OF exactly the opposite sort
The lounging-r0ons would have been taken
for the regular things in club, and at
times the dainty cloud OF cigaret smoke
and the chink of cut-glass tumblers left
nothing but male apparel and mustaches
wanting to form reproduction exactly like
an original.
But there were mustaches and there were
trousers. The mustaches belonged to
James Butts. the steward. The girls had
intended to have no man in the place. but
little Jennie Lafarge Ito give the girls a
false view argued so forcibly in favor of
having just one man by way of protection
that 1t was agreed to hire a male stew
ard. who was never to come up
higher than the billiard-room floor unless
called. Having gained her point Miss Jen-
ME found James Butts, who had been but
Ter to her father, but had been discharged.
he was rather surly Englishman. looked
like typical coachman, and seemed TO
some of the girls to have what a woman
calls wicked eye-an expression that no
man would ever understand at all. AS To
the trousers, why one Of the secrets of the
club was that all the girls were to attend
the monthly ladies' receptions at a
certain masculine club, and there each
girl was to study the behavior of at least
one man. On the next night at the Sub
Rosa club three of the girls dressed in mems
clothes. to the better initiate what they had
seen the real men DO the night before. On
that night Mr.. James Butts was told to take
holiday. though the behavior Of the girls
was wholly clrcumspect, except the male
attire. But two things not in the program
served to
BREAK UP THE CLUB.
One was the bar" as we called the re-
freshment room. tell you those girls will
never deny that the wickedest tales told of
liquor are solemn truths, for they saw, and
some Of them felt, just what it could do
when taken In too gaeat a quantity.
The girls had not been used to
having intoxicants ready at hand.
