Clinging skirts are very much worn and

nor draped. Powered silks. with the flow

IN the plain and close-fitting skirts. They
are trimmed with rose pleatiugs or tiny
RULES. Everything depends upon the fit OF
these skirts, and there should not be
wrinkle in the front or side breadths.
One of our swell man dressmakers has
been making a neat tailor gown for a
young woman who will travel this sum-
mer. The material was grayish blue cloth +,
striped with threads of dark blue. over the
hem of the plain skirts there were three
rows of narrow blue cloth, stitched on like
braid. The jacket bodice opened upon a
vest of plain blue cloth. An exact coun-
terpart Of this gown was made in England
for one of the English princesses. OF course
everything depends upon the cut OF the
gown.
Helen Dauvray Ward was out the other
oay IN wrap as remarkable as her own
personality. 1t was made of bl elk chan
lilly lace and velvet. In fact, it was all lace
except the oversleeves. The lace was full,
'front.' and back, and from the under arm
seams came velvet ribbon, which confined
tue fullness at the waist, where it tied In
long loops and ends. The wrap had long
lace tabs, which were finished by cut
steel fringe. The Medici collar was of vel
vet and the front was fastened by two hand
some steel ornaments. The bottom of the
wrap was trimmed with steel trimming and
fringe.
With this wrap she wore gown OF cash

For dressy gowns, striped lawns, cam

young women are using them for dinner
gowns.

The leg of mutton sleeve is still a favorite
for jackets and dresses. They are made in
two styles, one being cut on the cross and

saw very pretty gown the other day
at one of the big shops. 1t was made of
silver gray India silk of very fine quality.
The skirt was trimmed with three narrow
rufties: the drapery was very long and full
the softness of the material allov wing such
fullness; the waist was made with pleated
front and the center of the back had five or
six rows of stirring. From one side came
band of point-de-chene, and from the
other shoulder came two rows of oil 70
green velvet ribbon pinned at the shoulder
and waist with rosetUes of the same. The
full shirred waists are very popular for
thin goods and very becoming to
slender figures. Another pretty
one is of blue net over surah. The waist
was made of the surah, and its trimming
was broad red plaid ribbon. The ribbon
started a little below the collar in the back,
where it was laid in soft pleats. The front
crossed in surplce style and then was
twisted about the waist and tied at the back
in full bow and ends. 1t gave the effect of
an entire plaid bodice and dash of color
to all otherwise very quiet gown. That
sort of waist trimming would be very
effective in a gown whose waist had
already done service and was the worse for
wear.

THE LADY AND THE MESSENGER BOY.

About the funniest thing of which know
is the penchant of the woman for the mes
senger boy as an escort on all occasions. IL
one has an invitation and hasn't man, one
! rings for a boy, and gets one, of course, not
| much above Years old especially If one is
tall and imposing "How long have you

extremely diminutive specimen.
The messenger boy is not useful, but in
way he seems to be considered ornamental,
and even the professional woman who goes
all around the city alone at all hours of the
night on business errands appears to value
him as a concession to the pomps and cere-
monies of life when she presents herself at
q friends door on reception evening, party
bag on arm. Sometimes it seems to me that
his single mission in life is TO Impress the
servant who ans wers the bell. 81 haven'ta

implied announcement, "Hnd no member of
my family was at hand to accompany me,
but here l am, delivered by an authorized
agent, so please be assured that l am re-
spectacle, and let me in"
So far as usefulness on the street is con-
cerned the messenger boys name is mud;
he's of no account at all. When one passes
the Fifth Avenue hotel or the Coleman
house, or any other place where men who
stare 90 congregate, he's away off ahead or
he's tagging behind exchanging condolences
with other messenger boys. 50 clearly is

EGG HUNTING AS A FASHIONABLE DIVER
SION

A woman of considerable wealth, infected
with the desire for novelty, gave large
May uarty at her country house on Long
Island few days ago. The menu was ex-
quite; the house was fragrant with apple
blooms aid white with dogwood flowers.
After the repast had been discussed, a some-
what stout and ompous-looking man serv-
ant appeared with a large silver waiter
loaded with raw hats tied up with ribbons,
for use as baskets, and the h stess taking
one, handed another to the guest of honor,
and explained that an adjournment to the
barn was next in order, where they would
hunt eggs if. perchance, the hens had laid
any.
The august danes looked very much as.
tonished and cast furtive glances at their
delicate draperies; but they peered int, the
stalls aud climbed the hay mows obedient-
ly if near-sightedly, and it is only fair to
the hens to say that a great quantity of eggs
materalizsd. The mines, that is to say the
nests, had been sailed in all probability.
This was playing at Marie Antoinette and
rustic simplicity, but some of the guests
looked puzzled and some wore cynical
smile. One lost bangle bracelet, and 1t is
doubtful il egg hunting as fashionable di-
version becomes popular

WILL THE COLLEGE GIRL MARRYl
Every year when the commencement sea-
son comes around somebody starts the que~-
ton. 1t was fired point blank at a club
meeting the other day at Mrs. Alice Free
man Palmer, wac might be supposed to
have answered it once aud forever siace she
gave up the presidency of Wellesley to
enter into matrimony. Mrs. Palmer said
that at Harvard each class sends back an
account of itself when it has been out OF
the university three years. The last time
these statistics were coilated it appeared
that, counting the young men who grad
uated and those who left before graduation
to settle in life early, IL per cent of the
class referred to had married within the
three years. When this result was arrived
at Mrs. Palmer was asked to go over to
wellesley and get corresponding figures for
the girls. She did so, aud found that,
counting only those who had remained

the Wellesley class graduating the same
June with the Harvard boys had become

college women were at least as favorsbly
inclined toward marriage as college men.
Mrs. Palmer said further that in her opin-
ion college girls would marry later than
other girls, many of them carrying finan-
cial burdens as heavy as those assumed by
men OF their own age. Busy, happy women
absorbed in work, thew would not marry

WOMEN WHO SMOKE.
Everybody knows that the stories of the
smoking habits of women are stretched
out of all likeness to the truth, and yet now
and then there really happens something
that isinteresting. A few DAYS agoa woman
whose books have attracted considerable
attention called on woman artist, taking

smokes cheroots, the newspaper woman en-
joys cigarette, and the author, who is her.

nor newspaper woman would own to the
bad habit, and probably more women yield
TO the fascination of slowly putting out blue
wreaths than would care to have the world
know of it, for public opinion is hardly pre-
pared Us yet to admit the woman smoker

treated. Whether women will copy
his example in behavior is something
| do not know and which I will pro-
badly discover in the future. just at
present she is delighted, like the little
fool that she is, if somebody tells her
that her reasoning is masculine in it's
strength. She is charmed if she is
thought to read the books that
men would read, and she is
perfectly willing to give her opinion
on anything, from buttonhole
bouquet to double entry book keeping.
She is just as funny as the monkey
that comes with the organ, for she's
just as near being a man as he is.
One girl who realized this fact went
into a haberdasher's to buy scarf to
wear with her boyish get-up. She
said to the man behind the counter:
.Oh, dear me, ] shall never be able to
tie this! Why can't I have one that's
already tied, with hooks behind ?"
Very politely the answer came to her,

HORSE MEAT FOR EATING.
can't be Distinguished from Beef
When Mada Into Sausana

Cant be Distinguished from Beef
When Made Into Sausage.
Physically it may be distinguished
from beef or mutton by its apppe n
ance, says the Nineteenth Century.
1t is coarser in the grain than beef.
IN this respect it resembles bull beef
more than any other. It's darker III
color and looks more moist than beef.
1t has a peculiar smell and a peculiar
sweetness Of taste. It's flavor is gen
orally considered to be half way be-
tween the favors OF beef and game. It
is something like the flavor OF hare.
One reason why horse flesh is. as a
rule, darker in color than beef is that
horses which are poleaxed or which
. have died from injury, disease or old
age are not properly bled and dressed
by the slaughterer. It is. however,
by its fat that horse flesh is most
easily distinguished. The fat of horse
flesh is not generally mixed with the
lean. 1t is yellow in color It looks
more moist than the fat of beef. It
soon melts and soon becomes rancid.
Consequently, unless rapid sale is
effected or the fat removed an advanced
price must be charged in order to Sc
cure the butcher from loss on unsold
meat.
Lastly, horse flesh can be distin-
guished from beef by it's chemical
characteristics, and it is in this way
that it may be recognized when mixed
with other substances. Who can tell,
except the chemist, what are the com
ponent parts OF a sausage. polony or.
saveloy? Or who can tell by taste
what these parts are? We do not Judge
by taste, we judge by flavor. and in
the making OF favor-to use. Sam
