A novel evening gown of Englisl
manufacture had the entire front com
posed of Neapolitan violets glistenine
with dewdrops. These were masseC
closely together, completely concealine
the foundation skirt, and over the
whole was draped white mousseline d.
sole, which also yelled the heliotrops
satin at the back.
Pale gray gowns are very fashion
able, and arc especially effective wher
trimmed with black. A favorite al
rangement consists of applique velve
leaves and stripes for the skirt borders
and for the yoke Of the waist. A
pretty Figaro jacket of black velvet OF
bengaline, bordered with silver en-
broidery, is often added.
The favorite sleeve is likely to be the
leg-o'-mutton of moderate size, the tor
full and high above the armholes, but
fitted very tight below the elbow and
very long on the wrist, the latter part
faced and rolled up as cuff, that is
rounded out and trimmed with narrow
gimp and embroidery, and row OF
tiny buttons Gle sely set.
Colors are often introduced into
gowns of black silk or satin. A pretty
model was of black crepe de chine
draped over a skirt of black satin, the
latter material brocaded with tiny bou-
quets tied with violet ribbon. The
foot of the skirt is edged with ruches
of pinked-out silks, of the shades in
the brocade, black, violet and olive
green.
The foster mother of the little King
of Spain is Maximina Pedraja, a hand
some brunette from the province of
Santander. When chosen from among
the thousands who competed for tie
post she was SO poor that the neighbors
at Heras, her native place, had to SUBJ
scribe $40 for her journey to Madrid.
She is now worth fortune, presented
to her by the royal family.
DR.. King, an American woman, oc-
cupies the somewhat enviable position
of physician-inzordinary to one of the
most distinguished statesmen in China.
Her practice in Shanghai is large and
valuable, and some of her successful
surgical operations have elected the
warmest praise from her brother ply
sicians. There is great field in China
for the woman doctor, and those who
are struggling along here might do
well to wend their way to the kingdom
Of "rics and mice and everything
nice"
Walking skirts of sensible length,
width and material are receiving con-
siderable attention, both in England
and America, by ladies fond of out
door exercise in the country They
are 5 IL yards in width, and reach
only to the ankles, or a little above.
Rough serge or the so-called "blanket-
ing" are the usual materials, either in
dark or light gray. The jacket matches,
and the costume is completed by a
small sailor hat, neat collar and tie and
thick-soled, flat-heeled boots, laced or
buttoned, and very high in the leg.
A charming Spring costume of India
silk was made with round bodice,
the belt, which passed around the
outside, being attached to the
back of the skirt. The
full fronts were left loose at the top
on each side, like handkerchief
square, hemmed and beaded, then tied
by the wearer across the chest, in a
knot with ends, over plastron of
black net, tucked, with baby ribbon
in each tuck. The high collar and the
cuffs were also of tucked net, with a
tiny bow of the ribbon in front of
each tuck.
