The head mlllIner of a leading New York
store was adding last touch the other dsy

winter wardrobe in preparation for a Chi
cago belle. The manager, says the SUM
drew attention TO the splendid gown as one
OF the most recent and signal triumphs of
her house. Shs ventured to predict its
being extensively copied later on In the
season, aud particularly by women Of cer-
tain coloring. This latest creation. she
said, vas conceived to highten the charms
or brunette beauty; and hooked
and laced though it was over a headless
dummy, one could readily appreciate it's
unrivalled qualities for setting off the
wearers dark loneliness. 1t was a
harmonious study in white and yellow and
black. The jupe of rich watered silk was
brilliantly white, fitting like a sheath far
back over The hips, yet so admirably cut
that an absolute unwrinkled surface was
attained without even q suggestion of the
vulgar tie back. The unusually long skirt
barely escaped the ground, and was finished
at the foot by full donble raveled ruching
OF softer silk. In accord with the newest
Partisan style, tiny gold-colored velvet
tulips were sewed lengthwise through the
middle OF the fringed pleating, lending an
irregular line of color alternately vague
and vivid. A superb piece of black chantllly
lace IN big foliated patterns veiled the en-
tire front aud one side of the petticoav.
In the long court train of white moire chan
ally draperies were dexterously inserted to
fall from the waist line, where all the heavy
folds, narrowed in to accentuate the stately
tenderness of the wearers' figure. The cor
sage, cut in sharp V back and front, was
slightly trimmed with the lace, laid in light
pleats, and caught into the long, stifiy-
boned points Of the basque Big clusters of
gorgeous yellow tulips were fastened high
on one shoulder, with long velvet buds
dropping over bust and neck. The flowers
ran in loosely woven garland that held
the lace here aud there. and again on the
right side, where an III broken line of white
glanced from the skirts edge up TO the fair
throat. Black giants de suede etched with
gold floss, a white silk fan decor ted with
yellow tulips, narrow pointed-toed suede

In very quiet way two New York
women have set up a partnership business
that promises to grow into handsome pros
PORTIONS before another twelve months
shall elapSe. They are house cleaning con-
tractors, and, although the firm has neither
advertised nor been in existence quite one
year, yet their orders are steadily increas-
ing. They have engagements ahead until
the last week in Novemb Der. The idea was
first started through hearing the constant
complaints of housaholders who leave town
for the summer, and after the tiresome pro-
cess of swathing their establishment in
camphor and linen are called upon TO spend
the pleasantest of autumn days in ua-
bandaging again and airing their belong
ings.
This spring and fall cleaning is as much
dreaded by the Fifth avenue resident as by
occupants of Harlem cottages. The more
extensive and valuable their possessions the
greater the necessity for personal supervis-
lon So from the demand for exemption
from this duty has risen the sup
ply OF two clever. capable, and
entirely reliable women, who, for q
consideration. offer to relieve tbs
burdened chatelain. Their qualifications
are given in the shape Of hig1 references
and enthusiastic Endorsements from those
turned over to them in the summer, in order
to get clear idea of the mistress taste oe-
fore bric-a -brac, draperies, and so ON have

edge, the contractors begin at the garnet

pie order to the last load of cal in the
cellar. Unde' them work CORPS of
carefully picked aud trained paint and win

ness it is to wipe frescoed ceilings and walls
brush and polish furniture, wax floors TURF
mattings, freshen oll-cloths, and put pic
lures, mirrors and ornaments under cover
during the hot weather. They are person.
ally responsible. not only for the quality OF
their work, but the honesty of those thew
employ aud breakages that may occur.
Every shade in the house is taken down,
cleaned and rehung. draperies busted and
returned to their respective places. Chin
neys are swept, beds undergo a thorough
iuquisitlon, carpets are laid, and every
piece of brass reflects the integrity of the
workers. Those VINO gave the partners q
trial last spring and were satisfied of their
ability are hayiCg them put affairs in order
against their return from Europe or coun-
try cottages.
Indeed, SO we'll were they liked that one
of the young women has visited Newport
with several of her assistants, and closed
two of the great houses there. They repre-
sent a luxury, it is true, where ladies' have
high priced and trained servants, but when
the wear and tear on ones temper the acci-
dents and delays attending the opening and
closing of house are taken into considera-
ton, the firm stands a chance Of liberal
patronage.
