THE ACCORDION SKIRT.
The Secret Of How This Wonderful
Garment is Made.

1t has been the good fortune Of re-
hitherto been popularly regarded as q
first class mystery the process
Of making that manner of garment so
beautiful to the eye and so dear to the
fashionable feminine heart. the wonder
full accordion skirt
The method whereby the SO called ac-
Gordon plat is made has been kept relig-
iously a secret ever since the introduce
ton of the novelty. You can procure a
skirt so prepared from any dressmaker,
dry goods shop or sewing machine place;
but the work is not done on the premises.
To begin with, there is a good sized iron
box without cover, with parallel wires
stretched across 1T in two layers one
layer of wires below the other. The stuff
to be plated is first wet, and then passed
through the wires in and out, over an
upper wire. under lower one, then over
the next upper wire, under the next
lower one, and SO on until as much Of the
material is taken up as the wires will ac-
commodate.
These ups and downs Of the cloth form
the lines of the plaits, and behind the
last of the plafrs is q square iron
bar running parallel to the wires,
which, being screwed up with a pow

compass. 1t only remains now to dry the
material in that shape, and for this pur-
pose the iron box is taken out of the oven
with perforated top aud permitted to
bake there. the moisture that evap crates
from the stuff going off as steam. When
sufficient time has elapsed to allow Tor a
thorough drying of the cloth, the iron box

done, and the cloth is withdrawn beati-
fully plated accordion fashion and ready
to be made up. One Baltimore man pro-
duces several hundred yards of accordion
plating daily. and inasmuch as the. con-
sumner pays fifty cents yard for the
work, there must be a reasonable profit
In it, No wonder it is thought worth
while to keep the method secret.
However. it is likely that this monopo-
ly will be wiped out before long by the
placing on the market Of very simple
contrivance recently invented, which
any woman can afford to buy and
will have skill enough TO use. 1t
will cost less than one dollar TO manu-
facture, will be sold for S., and will do to
perfection not only the according plating
but knife Plating. the machine consisting
of little moro than two long strips of
brass adjustable to a table and a wooden
roller. Each plat, after being folded by
the machine, is ironed separately with a
hand iron. and the stuff comes out all
ready to be put on the belt, surprising
that it is intended for an accordian skirt.
But, of course, many other things besides
skirts are made accordian fashion nova
days, such as capes, eloaks, lamp shades,
etc. 1t win be cheering news to the ladies
that the fifty cents yard rate is not
likely to be maintained very long. 1t will
not be great while before every woman
who makes her own dresses will perfo RIM

course upon the material she buys

ITS Fashionable Now to

tainnelltS.
TO GO OR NOT TO 60.
That's the Question Agitating
Those Who Like the
Country.

The correct thing just at present seems
TO be to give luncheon, and numbers
Of these delightful affairs have followed
each other in rapid succession. It is
much too late now for anything large or
Important, except wedding to be given.
and SO the luncheons have been most
welcome to fiji up the duh time which
follows the close of the social season.
The first of these charming events was
given short time ago by Mrs. f. f. c..
Young at her elegant residence on Glen
wood avenue. 1t was of course most an
joyable and about twentyof Mrs. Oung's
NEST estimable friends were present. the
bride, Mrs. q. L. Young. was three and
was Of course petted and made much of.
Following Mrs. Young's luncheon came
Mrs. Wilkinsen's yellow luncheon, and
ibis was one of the prettiest aud most en-
ioyable events of this season.
Right in the midst of these luncheons
given by matrons came the pink one
given by Miss Gussie Barney at her guar
The guests, twenty-one in number, were
nearly all from New York.
TWO THIS WEEK.
This week has had two OF these pleas
ant affairs, one given by Mrs. Daniel
Toffey. and one by Mrs. Vincent Schcnek
the table was most superbly decorated
with pink roses and delicate ferns. The
souvenirs were dainty aud pretty. There
were but twelve ladies present. They
were Mrs. Wilkinson, Mrs: =. G: Nelson,
Mrs. f. v. r. Clifford, Mrs E. f. G.
Young, Mrs. Marcus Beach, Mrs. Will
lam Brinkerhoff. Mrs. George Toffey.
Mrs. George Heime, Mrs. Cornelius
Brett, Mrs. S. j. Bonnell and Mrs. J. G.
ADpleby.
AT MRS. sCHENCK's.
Mrs. Schenck also chose pink as the
prominent color for her luncheon, and
everywhere in the handsome dining room
If her pretty cottage on Glenwood ave-
nue were seen pink roses and love-
" ferns. The decorations were by
Cole. The table looked very invit-
ing indeed, and was spread with
q cloth of snowy-white upon which was
laid glittering white china Pure white
seems to be the favorite table service for
these luncheons, and pink harmonizes SO
beautifully with it that is not strange the
combination has been so much used.
This luncheon was quite an informal
affair and smaller than the others, al
though none the less enjoyable. The
guests were Mrs. E. f. G. Young, Mrs.
Smith. Mrs. e. L. Young, Mrs. Bumsted,
Mrs. Throckmorton, Mrs. Percy, Miss
Percy, Miss Florence Percy and Mrs. E. II.

A Twilight Song.
As sit in twilight, late, alone, by the Pickering
oak fame,
Musing on long-past war scenes-of the countless
buried unknown soldiers
OF the vacant names as unindented airs and
seas--the unreturn'd,
The brief truce after battle, with grim burial
squads and the deep filled trenches
OF gatner'd dead from all America, North,
Sonth, East West, whence they came up
From wooded Maine New England's farms
from fertile Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio.
From the measureless West, Virginia, the South
the Carolinas, Texas;
Gwen here, in my room shadows and half lights
in the noiseless Pickering flames,
Again see the stalwart ranks on-filing rising
Il hear the rhythmic tramp of the arm
ies);
You million unwrit names, all, all-you dark be-
quest from all the war,
A special verse for you-a flash Of duty long
neglected--your mystic roll strangely
gather'd here.
Each name recall'd by me from out the dark
ness and deaths ashes,
Heuceforth 10 be, deep, deep, within my heart
recording, for many future year,
Your mystic roll entire of unknown names or
North or South.
Embalm'd with love in this twilight song.
