easy. Never before, l may safely ssy i,
have our theaters been more brilliant
than they are this season, and refer TO
auditorium as well as to stage. In fact,
the two have kept even pace with each
other, and in this respect the theater has
proved itself possessed of high civilizing
qualities, for | contend that any power
which encourages one generation to dress
better than the preceding, is q genuine
factor in the civilization of the age.
The third illustration sets forth very
stylish costume for theatre or reception,
consisting OF pale blue cloth ornamented
with silver, with blue velvet sleeves In a
darker shade, and narrow panel OF the
velvet on the side, bordered 10y the silver
ornamentatior. The hat is of blue vel
vet with silver embroidery, with aigrette
having quaint silver mounting and up
standing bow of blue velvet ribbon. a
pale blue velvet mutt completes the cos
tune.
And apropos of muffs. l sincerely
trust that we are not to have mild win
ter, for the dainty coufections of clcth,
fur and lace which are TO do service as
muffs this season are rather adapted for
ornament than use. Indeed, many OF
these SO called muffs are not worthy of
tUt Iucy uEc "cTciS pretty tOu-
ceits 10 set off na.ty, jaunty, outdoor
costume. Let me talk of muffs for q few
moments. But who would think of APP
plying the name of muff to a dainty
thing in fawn-colOred cloth lined with
velvet of a darker shade and ornamented
with stuffed squirrel holding u gold nut
between his teeth? Another is made of
black velvet embroidered With heavy
gold flowers and covered with gold lace
masked by black tulle. Still another Is
fashioned from old rose velvet lined with
sable, tied with silver ribbon so as to
make the ends open and show the fur.
Bat they grow, so 10 speak, in still
daintier styles. For example, entirely
of lace or feathers with fur lining. One
exquisite little creation consisted Of pars-
ley-greeu velvet, lined with cream silk
brocaded with little bouquets. and COW
cred with black fox tails with number
of parsley-preen velvet bows.
1t is quite the fad to pin bunch of
natural flowers to one of these muffs' or
to ornament it with n butterfly of jet

which unfiHes my peace of mind.'' The
late CORTLAND Palmer, the founder of
the Nineteenth Century Club, always in
sisted that ladies should appear without
bonnets at the club receptions, and, in
fact, you II find that men pretty gener-
ally are in favor of :bonnets of. -
Women can't always understand this.
The woman who pays $50 for a Partisan
bonnet naturally wants to wear it as
often as possible. She is like the young
man with his first dress suit. He is so
proud of it that he puts it on in the
morning. But man has not vet sue
ceeded in inventing covering for the
head which has the charm of nature s
own silken growth. 1t is only in the
past few years that we women have come
to realizing sense of the necessity of
giving more attention to the care of the
hair, for like the voice and the walk
the hair ia capable of great improve
ment, and this remark applies with
equal force 10 quantity and quality of
growth and to mode of wearing it.

not one man in a dozen wears his beard

Frecticai Layettes.

The manufacturing of infants outfits
has improved wonderfully Of late years,
| and now combines practical ideas with
healthful garments and fine materials
This is regular trade not to be con-
founded with children q or ladies' wear
and requires neat sewers. If lRyette
is ordered to be MADE by hand, the cos.
is increased 90 per cent, and after all :,
what is handsomer than perfect machine
stitching?
In the way of health garments there
are shirts, socks and skirts of pure
camel's hair woven III fine and heavy
weights. Linen is not approved of now
adays for infants body wear. Clothing
of pure wool is recommended by physi-
clans, aed the different articles are pre-
pared in the most tasteful manner, re-
curing only careful washing to keep
them soft and fine.
The usual flannel now used for bands,
skirts, sacques ana shawis, is part cot
ton, as il shrinks less and washes we'll.
Nnusook euG can't brio skirts are most ia
miliar, bmt English longclotn is an eA-
ceiiept material for this purpose and
should be better known. English and
French nainsooks, plain, checked and
striped, snouiu Ue Kept II STOCK LOT little
dresses and slips, also tucked nainsook
and camoric for Jokes, etc.
Sheer null and genuine Valenciennes
lace are often used for robe dresses, but
the Italian Valeuciennes and naiusook
form a good substitute. French caps
should be kept III variety by all mer-
chants, as they soil easily aud are often
replaced. For cloaks have cashmere,
camel q hair aud white broadcIoth this
winter, but these are as cheap ready
made, and are certainly made better
than the average mother or seams;ress
will DO them.
Long dresses of fine WOODEN goods are
advocated by the health societies, also
the fashion of fastening infants cloth
ing in front. The little dresses are not
quite as long as of yors nor as heavily
trimmed. Crib blankets and coverlids
are of came's hair and eider-do
thus giving warmeth without much
weight. Attractive crib covers and car
riuge robes are made of the new woven
spiral ioop-cord fabrics.

\ little cheek piuChinE by Jack Frost
IN the last few days mas made the cloth
costume particularly acceptable and
even here fur boa around the throat
has been as comfortable as il is becom-
ing. II Is pretty setting for bright
face and the women may enjoy 1t while
they can because II will not be long be-
fore some Disa!re will pronounce against
il as n promoter of sore tbroats or some
such nonsense. Just exactly what men
would find 10 talk about in an Eveless
Eden is a puzzler, for there is no bsche-
Tor, however confirmed, who, does not
have his growl Mt the prevailing fashion.
When Mrs. Adam emerged from bowery
dressing room her spouse no doubt
stood ready to criticise. Fancy him say
ing, my dear, / think that skirt is

are needed on this side. and really
think you ought 10 take out thorn

GRACEFULLY il it was not pinned back so
ri culously. OF course the V-sheped
neck was an omination, and the
sleeveless bodice--''Oh my propriety.'
Il Eve had been learned in modern lingo
ste would have coucisely remarked
adam, pull down your vest!' But as
il is, her daughters have added fig leaves
and taken them of again for the ole pur-
pose of pleasing Adams in all ages, and
with the same result, some admire and

Notes.


For full dress the hair is usually
dressed high.
Dresses cut low about the throat have
induced demand for lockets.
The growing popularity of tea jackets
and theater waists Will tend to increase
the sale Of surah, brocade and China
silk.
Satin duchesse and fsille in white or
cream are us ed TO line opera cloaKs Of
faced cloth.
Dresses OF thin ma:eriol are made with
round skirts aud all in one, but the bod
ice Is outlined by passementerie.
Plain satin seems all-pervadiug for
glove, handkerchief or sachet cases,
etc. painted with water or oil colors.
An example of very becoming hat is
one OF black velvet, with q border of sill
yer, garland of feather heads and
punches of velvet, forming an aigrette
before and behind.

The skirt is straight, raised slightly at

shoulders, and the lower part formed
into gauntlets of alternating braiding of
silver and gold over silk foundation.

Recipes.

Sailed almonds are now q favorite dish
at receptions, teas, luncheons and even
dinners, and their popularity lie increas-
ing all the time. They are expensive
when bought at the confectioners' but
here is simple recipe for preparing
them a. home: First, carefully crack
the nuts so that the kernels can be ex-
tracted whole, then blanch the almonds
by placing them in scalding water,
which causes the brown covering of the
nut to loosen, when it cen readily be re.
moved. Have ready pan of fine salt
and when the nuts are all blauched place
the warm, wet kernels into the salt.
Then set the pan away until next morn
ing IN order to give them time for the
salt to soak little in the almonds.
Next day remove the kernels from tho

What About the Worlds Fair,

It is somewhat remarkable that so little
is being done with regard to the worlds
fair. The Chicago papers do not say much
about it. Recently some of them said that
the Mckinley bill would prevent foreigners
from making exhibits, because it destroyed
whatever inducement there was for doing
so. Foreigners, they said, would not put
their goods on exhibition here if they had
no hope of finding market for them here.
The truth of this statement was so apparent
that none of the advocates of the McKin-
ley bill have had had the the hardihood to
deny it.
But the greatest trouble that the Chicago
people appear to be having in connection
with the proposed fair is the selection of
site. There was a time when the Chicago
hustlers declared that site had been agreed
upon, and that it was all that the most ex-
acting could desire. Somehow or other, the
site question has not been settled. To every
suggestion there are innumerable objections.
Some want one site and some another, and
the wrangling relative to the site goes on
with increasing fury. After awhile, per-
haps, site will be chosen, but in the mean
time the country is losing interest in the
fair. Indeed, it is not certain that it has
not lost good deal already.
And the guarantee fund, what has become
of thatl Can it be depended upona There
are rumors that a good many subscribers to
it are objecting to paying any part of the
amounts for which they have made them
selves liable. 1t is to be hoped that these
rumors are not true. If there is to be fair
the whole country would like it to be first
class one in every particular. The Amer
lean people can stand good deal. but they
can't stand being ridiculed by other nations,
and they would be ridiculed if they should
invite the civilized world to third-rate

The number of men who need guardian

The number Of men who need guardian
seems to be remarkably large. On Satur-
day Andrew Freeman, farmer of Shell by
county, Illinois, lost $4,000 by very slick
operation. He had been to New York with
a lot of cattle, which he sold for the fore
going amount of money. He placed the
money in hand sachel At Delaware, O.,
he got off the train for dinner. He left the
sachel containing the money on his seat in
the car. He not only did that, but he left
the key in the sachel. When he returned
to the car he found that the sachel had been
opened and bricks and paper substituted for
the money. He didn't catch the thief. The
money represented the savings of almost a
lifetime. 1t is hardly probable that he will
offer another such temptation to thieves.
