Where panels are used on q shirt they
must be either in narrow gore.shape; or,
il OF pleatings, not stitily tackled, as was
so long the style, but left to fly apart at
each motion Of the wearer.
The new long mits Just brought out
for wear with dinner gowns, have no
tidgert at all, but have a double row OF
silk embroidery around the top OF the
hand and the edge OF the thumb.
The new glove has caifskin palm md
plush back. The plush may be had in
green, red or black. Another new glove
las stockinette back with a leather
palm. They are cool and strong.
Fans are larger than ever, and those oil
peacock feathers and OF gathered gauze,
caught in a puff ut the top OF each stick
by tiny bow, are among the newest
most admired styles, especially for even
ing use.
Something new in furs is the sealskin
peIerine, square and short at the back,
with its fringe OF tails just reaching to
the waist, and square and SO long in
front as to come near to the knee, and
gives the effect OF stole.
Cream white, red and gold, with fawn
russell, olive, brown and green, are the
admired combinations OF the season for
cloth gowns. Yet there are many who
cling to the mixture of green in all
shades, with the dull pink known us
old rose.
The knots OF perfumed velvet violets
now accepted us the proper fastening for
the boa ut its crossing, may be made to
keep their scent all winter by putting
them away in a small box with powder
ed crris root, folded in tissue paper IN
the bottom.
The Carmclte dressing.gown, which
is to be had in peach color, russell, gray,
old blue and old rose f1annels, has u
monks head, n girdle OF heavy knotted
cord and loose monks sleeves which, as
well as the bead and loose fronts, are
faced with white silk.
It's asserted by those who have seen
Mrs. Amelie Rives-Chanier that she Is
not by any means SO beautiful US hcrpic-
lures represent her. Her nose has de-
cided hump, and, when proofs OF her
photographs are sent TO her, she COM
pletely tones down her prominent olfac-
tory organ with fine lead pencil and
touches up the features generally. Sac
is something OF IN artist herself and I'M
derstands Just how to do it.
The statement made some months ago
that the beautiful Countess Of Dudley
sleeps between black silk sheets was hui
morously derided by esteemed contem-
poraries. The Pal Mall Gu=Gtte now
asserts the same fact and adds that her
ladyship's black sheets are of silk mer-
veiiIeuX-a soft and fine material. She
and the Duchess OF Hamilton both wear
black silk lingerie. The latter has a
black silk nightdress with hounCe Of
lace. Could caprice go further?
at is, to my mind, hideous to see n
softly bred woman, when her shot dress
does not finish the bird oil she aims at,
take it when it falls and wiring its head
off or knock its brains out against the
barrel OF her iowling piece" says the
Paris correspondent OF London Truth.
The Grand duchess Vladimir OF Russia
has been proving herself crack shot in
the preserves OF Comte de Potocki and
other wealthy members of the high.life
set. Is it to her credit to have taken
part in n butchering battle that lasted
four hours? A thousand pheasants
were knocked down, out OF which num-
Der 10 were shot by her. It will IN
terest the weak-minded women who like
to copy royal and imperial ladies to
know that the Grand Duchess wore
at tho shooting party killed beige
skirt and "paletot" of the same mate
rial The hat was gray-ofthe Tyrolese
shape-and was trimmed with green
ribbon.
The dress worn by Empress Frederick
is the dress OF a German widow, very
picturesque though simple and severe.
The gown is q long, plain one, covered
entirely by crepe, and only relieved BY
two long bands OF white lawn from the
neck OF the gown in front to the feet.
The widows cap is black and is worn in
stiff point, which comes down low on
the forehead, to which is fastened long,
black veil, falling almost to the feet be-
hind. The three princesses wear the
same deep veil and cap without the white
bands, which are distinctive widows
dress. Since the arrival Of Empress Fred
erick on visit to her mother, Queen
Victoria, the mourning worn by the
royal family and household is in accord
anCe with German customs. Where
white crepe caps have been worn hither-
to by some OF the ladies, black caps are
now the fashion, the only person adher-
ing to the English white cap being the
Queen.
