front of the coat was particularly pretty,
and would be most becoming to any
light figure. 1t is arranged with vest
of beaver-cOlored cloth, braided elabor-
ately, and bordered on either side with
lapels of Harris tweed. The upright
collar is braided to match the vest, aud
bordered next to the throat with beaver,
the smart little outside pockets being
also braided to correspond. There is
nothing remarkably new in the way of
her ulSters, the same sensible double
breasted shape being worn by her. l
saw one of these coats III myrtle-green
cloth, which pleased me much. 1t was
ornamented with black braiding in
very simple design, and fastened with
large buttons of smoked mother-Of-
pearl.
Sadie is in high feather now, and de-
lights to tell about the magniticence
with which she lives. When your cor
respondent called upon her at her apart
ment at the st. James she was in par
ticularly merry mood. After discuss
ing her palace in Vienna, and her regal
life in Paris, she said suddenly: "Oh,
but have something to show you that
America wild with envy. Wait just
moment, and will be back"
She whiSked out of the room with
jaunty fiirt of her skirts that just re-
vealed the pretty foot and well-turned
ankle. When she returned l was almost
dumfounded by seeing what she had
in her arms. 1t consisted of several
suits of the most beautiful silk under
wear that could be conceived. Some of
the garments were trimmed with the
cOStlieSt lace, and altogether each suit
must have cost $1,000. Sadie did not
seem to see anything out of the way in
the exhibition of these articles, and,per-
hapS, judged from the artistic point of
signs of the alleged "baby around the
room, and, as Sadie'S mother was pres
ent, felt that it was too delicate sub
ject to breach.
Sadie has got the latest in writing
paper. She showed it to me. On the
left hand side of the sheet and covering
space three inches long by one and
one-half inches wide, was bust photo
graph of Sadie herself. 1t looked too
dark, but otherwise it was a good pOr-
trait. 1t represents her with heavy
bang, large hat and tight-titting
waist. She has Saucy expression, and
to use the language of an old friend of
hers, Looks quite deviliSh."

the friend you are corresponding with
closer to you, you know, and all that
sort of thing. am rather pleased with
mine, though, of course, it might be a
little more like me-"
Sadie occupies the apartments usually
reserved by the proprietor for him self.
She says that her trip is only flying
visit and that she intends to return to
Vienna in the spring. She has imported
her own carriages from Vienna, and APP
pears to be we'll supplied with the
money necessary to continue her luXu-
riouS life. At all events, Sadie is con-
tent to be the bird of paradise to-day
and does not waste much time in think
ing of the morrow. The public is likely
to learn more of her before long, as she
is not the kind of woman that remains
in retirement.
1T is PLEASANT
to find that quiet colors are prevailing
the present season. and the always be-
coming striped materials promise to be
largely used, There are charming cos
tune cloths in every conceivable variety
of stripe, exceedingly soft in texture,
but at the same time extremely durable.
The cashmere tweeds are invaluable for
the present style OF draping, since they
are dellciOuSly warm, and so light
in weight that fully draped skirt of
this material will not be found in the
least firing or heavy to wear. Another
specially useful and beautiful fabric
for tailor-made gowns is a soft tweed
made in close imitation of the coloring
of Irish frieze, but quite innocent of
the harShness often inSeparable from
this latter material. For listers and
travelling cloaks this cloth should be
widely popular. Among the other new
materials shown in our stores l must
also mention some delightful cashmere
cloths, with Self-colOred and almost in
visible checks; soft twilled serges, in
all the newest colOrs and plain cloths,
for braiding or trimming with fur.
THE HUNGARIAN JACKET
is the rage, copying that of the Hun
garian hussars in style, even to the
cords at the neck, which serve the hus-
sar to keep his jacket on his left shout
der when he does not pass his arms
through the sleeves, the cord passing
