BARONESS BLANC'S WARDROBE.
The Baroness Blanc, who would not
let the queen of Sneba herself Guido her
in fnery if she could find out just what
her majesty had worn, has similar sets
of this silk underwear, all trimmed with
the most costly lace. She has also a
night dress 10 match each suit in color,
and some of these have 800 worth of
lace upon them. Felix, of Paris, who
made this finery, is dreSSmaker whom
many consider quite the equal of Worth,
but he isn't above making petticOats,
etc, for anybody who can pay his prices,
and he makes nearly everything in this
line that Mrs. Langtry wears.
The woman of society, who cannot
abide to be surpassed nowadays in reck-
less lavishness by any one, has deter
mined to distance all competitors in the
cost and bizarre SplendOr of those un-
seen garments that, though lost to sight,
areSO dear to every woman. Hence the
most fashionable thing about a fashion
able woman is her underclothing. They
are the true test of the degree of her

For one thing, styles in underclothes
hre sort of Free Masonry business,
They are not given to the public
through ordinary fashion channels; the
pictures of nightgOWnS and chemises in
wOmen'S fashion magazines are quite
without interest to the Four Hundred,
Neither can the selections of these ex-
elusive danes be seen even in the smart
est and swelest-Of shops.
1t IS considered the proper thing that
there should be an individuality about
underwear. 1t is the field for the ex-
preston for personal and poetic fancy.
yet individuality must not run into ec-
centricity even here. There are set
fashions, definite tendencies, which
must be needed, and which fashionable
women learn from one another.
ROBBED THROUGHOUT IN SILK.
The great distinctive tendency of the
times is to silk. The typical fashionable
woman is silk-robed from the skin out:
even though the last garment, the one
Tor the public eye, be Of Irish frieZe or
alleged hOmespun.
MRS. VANDERBILT'S MORNING RECEP-
TIoN ROBE.
A lady acquaintance calling lately on
1lrS. Frederick W. Vanderbilt about
noon was received by her in a pink con-
coctiOn that can only be justly described
as dream. 1t was of pale pink surah,
pink with delicate lilac tint-or like
lilac with the first blush upon it. 1t was
laid in the tiniest handmade tucks in
the Oack, running from the throat to the
shoulder blades. The front was com
posed OF two straight widths of the
surah, hemmed about the neck and
edged with an eXquisitely fine lace
about finger deep SeWed on plain.
Through the hem was run tiny mink
ribbons, which drew the gown either
loosely or closely about the pretty
Wearer's pretty throat, and which thus
gathered up the lace and impaired the
necessary fullneSS to the beautiful flow
Ing garment. The sleeves were made
up OF lots of tiny perpendicular tucks
from aTm-hole to elbow, below which
they fell in a loose flounce edged with
lace both within and without. If a lady
could not have rOSe-colored dreams in a
garment like that, there is no hone of
happiness for her, is there?
Mrs. Vanderbilt is particularly fond
OF these delicate rose and lavender and
rose-lavender tints, and large propor-
tlon OF her beautiful suits are in these
cOlors.

notice gentlemen doing this because an
inexperienced person cannot tell when
ladies stand that way. But they are
just as bad as the men. and if you study
the effect of these postures you will be
able to tell the women as well as the
men. The correct attitude is with one
foot slightly advanced and the other
about foot back of it. with the toes
nearly at right angles. This gives one

terS are now Scorned by fashionable
folks, and if you have a crest 1t must
Surmount the hand-wrought letters.
The monogram or crest is the only en-
broidery seen on those garments. Lace
is the thing. There is simply no end to
the lace, and no end to the expense Of
it. 1t is not uncommon 10 see $50 worth
of lace on single mOdiSh night-goWn.
And right here comes in a curious
turn of inconsistency. The imitation
and machine-made laces are entirely
countenanced on outside garments:
some of the most fashionable dress
makers prefer them; but on underwear
the rules rlgidly prescribe the real
thing-not the real thing or nothing,
but the real thing whether you can or
not.
SOMETHING ABOUT CARRIERS.
Among all the pretty things that
lovely woman wears, the ones most sus-
ceptible of elaboration are garterS.
They are the only concealed jewels she
wears, and carriers may cost from so
cents to 81. 500. Everybody knows that
the garter is yellow one. Not to wear
yellow garters is almost challenge to
ill-luck and misfortune. Very pretty
garterS come in other cOlors, however,
and, if you are willing to fly in the face
of fate by wearing another hue,
why, you can get mighty pretty
black ones with gold buckles set
with rubies. A beautiful pair of CART
ers ordered as wedding present for
Miss Georgiana Heckscher, who next
week will wed the only son Of the late
Gen. Mcclellan, are of white silk elastic
The buckles are of gold filigree. set

diamonds. On the inside of the clasp
are the initials of the donor and the

Mrs. c. 2. Huntington, the wife of the
railroad millionaire, has taken a safe

yellow garters buckled with fine topaz,
set with brilliants.
THE FASHION IN PERFUMES.
The crOWning glory of all this Splen-
dor is found in the appropriate perfumes
that should distinguish such fine raj
ment. If you wear pink silk underwear
they should be kept between sachets of
hyacinth. Odor. Ii you affect pale lilac
you should perfume your undergar-
ments with violet. If pale yellow is the
color they should surround you with
the sweet scents of the Marechal Neil
or the jasmine.
Very few women use a distinctive
perfume: that is no longer the thing;
but Mrs. Ogden GOellet, Mrs. William
Waldorf AStOr and Mrs. William G.
Whitney are among the society dieta-
tors Who have made it good form to use
perfume suggestive of the tint which
robes them.

WHAT LONDON Is WEARING.
Soft and Wooliy Fabrics in Soft

and Somber Hues.
The London Telegraph says: "There
is no season of the year when women's
dress has a greater attraction for men
than now, since it bears certain affin-
ity to their own. The prevailing hueS
are soft and somber, in sympathy with
the ''sere and yellow leaf' of the falling
year. Such bright touches of color as
may be worn seem to be dictated by the
autumnal tinting of the foliage. after

ounces of lime water, shaking the two
together vigorously. When these are
properly churned the lime water turns
the glycenne into a white, soft cream.
Upon going to bed the female Britisher
takes little OF this and rubs it with
her finger tips into the roots of her
hair, giving it vigorous brushing that
distributes the cream from roots to tip.
This she does once aweek. with the re-
suit of keeping her hair silken soft and
of not only preserving its bright chest

fectly clean and white.

BELLIES TAUGHT TO WALK.
Hundreds of Society Girls Taking
Lessons in the ART.

"You would be surprised to know how
many Chicagoans are taking to Del
sarte," said Miss Anna Morgan, the ex-
ponent of that branch of education at
the Chicago conservatory, to a Herald
man. 'A few years ago nobody knew
anything about it out here, and now its
followers are legion. Hundreds of So
ciety young ladies and gentlemen find
it advantageous, as well as those who
contemplate a stage career. Do you
know there are very few people who
know without instruction how to walk
across room, how to make a graceful
bow, or how to stand at ease? Neither
of these three things is done gracefully
by nineteen out of twenty men and
women. Did you ever notice that an
actor in walking across the stage rarely
obtrudes his feet on your notice. while
an amateur will impress you as not
knowing how to handle them? The
reason is that the experienced actor
keeps his toes down always and doesn't
lift his feet much off the floor. Simple,
isn't it? but a trick to be acquired all
the same.
