NEW YORK, Nov. 90, 1590.-[Special cor
respondence Of THE HERALD. AN inter
esting spectacle is group Of women about
Mr.. Edmund Russell in drawing room.
They taken him seriously, very Sc
riously indeed. They bend for
ward, their heads inclined toward COM
mon centre, and they put little deferential
questions. The Delsartean master"
doesn't appear in his velvet robes and
thumb ring outside his own apartments,
but nowhere does he show himself in con-
ventional masculine costume. True to his
principles he abiures black; a small gray
and white check is his usual attire. His
coat is loose across the chest and suggests
draperies. His collar is low and rolling
and he wears scarf of white silk for a tie.
His wig-how many people, l wonder,
know that handsome Edmund wears ones-
is brown and wavy, the most artistic wig
ever seen. He's lion who roars him
gently as sucking dove; at times he is
even boyish looking. His voice is low and
sweet and slow, he might even be suspected
of drawl. When he is saying something
startling the manner sets off the matter
like soft and misty background. Here are
few of his aphorisms:
| If were preacher l wouldn't allow q
woman in a corset inside the church door.
| Sevres china is hldeous; it's Venus ris
| ing from the sea in a soup plate. Who
wants to look atlovers signing at each other
under Jelly; or to catch blear glimpses OF
their affection through a gravy film!
| High collars and tailor-made gowns are
style, you can take your choice between
style and personality.
| Put nothing on your body which you dc
not know to be comfortable and healthfu
and believe to be beautiful.
You can't have fabric or form in your
rooms without money, but color is free as
air.
Plush is vulgar in its richness: get jutt
velour, it costs $l.50 yard and it's fifty
inches wide.
Don't be spooty; take away from you
dress and out Of your parlor anything tina
asserts itself. Don't wear gold and dia
monds with dark dresses, put them on with
yellow. Don't have half your chairs ret
and the rest blue and your walls white
and gold
If you want all the cups and saucers you
have broken and all the torn clothes yol
have fretted over to show in your face pu
on black gown.
If your eyes are blue you may wear
dull blue dress to brighten their color. 1
you put on bright blue you will kill them.
If you have grey hair wear gray dres
with little pink in it, and be gray ant
pink harmony.
You can always get q good effect b.
matching your hair and check tones.
The most beautiful dress is q loose prin
cess robe with an uncut piece Of the stu
clasped on the shoulder and used for drapt
ries. Get breath of something you lik
and practice till you can give it gracefr
,, folds. Pin it differently every time 20
put it on.
Art In dress went out when needle an
j.. scissors came in.
An ornament to be legitimate must taste
something. A row of diamond pins acros
Y your bodice merely tells you've got them.
Q Instead of few costly jewels woma

mother Of pearl and Turquoise and other II
