Boas are no longer the great desidora-
tum. Now it is collars, and they are
peculiarly snug and trim for iurs, and
are Of Russian hare and all tho medium
short haired furs. The three collars shown
are known by the names of Russian,
Paris and Berlin styles. That which is
alike on both points is the Paris, that
which comes very close TO the throat the
Berlin, and the one which is quite open
at the throat the Russian. These can be
sewn upon jackets, wraps or Newman
kets, or they can be detached, and thus
are available for almost any occasion,
even to wearing with the long silk
wraps lined with squirrel furs. The
muils now worn by those ladies who
like to have something little different
from ''the common herd" look some-
what like spool of cotton in shape.
They are entirely without ornamental
ton, and the ends, instead of being
faced with fluted satin, are covered with
sealsiin or beaver, or whatever fur the
rest is made of, and the very small
places where the hands 60 in are lined
also with fur. This makes them very
heavy, but very comfortable
The different collars are very conven-
lent and dressy, and add just that degree
of comfort that is considered necessary
TO an outdoor winter garment. A plain
Newmarket is made into a handsome
garment by the addition of one

goods. There arc new combinations in

There are several new designs and

erly depict them. They are dead fine,
strong and with an exquisite surface

signs new sheer material, semi-tIBns-

The English Cruiser Blake.

Here is picture Of the new English
cruiser Blake, riding at anchor in Ports
mouth harbor. She is remarkable as
being the heaviest unarmored cruiser in
the world, her only protection being the

vital parts. Speed is to be the Blake's

Iuiz-About that In such matter one cannot

The verse is frequently poetical, and it
is charming TO note the manner in which
Sir Arthur Sullivan enters into the spirit
OF the lines. The Gondoliers' duet,
"We're called Gondolieri," is light and
gay. until reference is made in the
course of it to vespers and vigils and
sercnades, and then shade Of sentiment
is cunningly suggested in the score by
other means than a simple piano. The
good ideas are discreetly handled and
not overdone. The fantastic notion of
turning tho Duke of Plaza-Toro into a
limited company is a case in point. A
few sentences spring from the announce
ment. The daughter trusts that she may
never be called upon at any time to wit
ness her honored sire in process of liqui-
dation; and her mother admits that, "if
your father stops, it will of course be
necessary to wind him up" Otherwise
little is heard of the Duke in his novel
capacity until the excellent satire of the
song in which Duke and Duchess describe
the nature of the functions they fulfill,
the Duke explaining how he secures
honors TO satisfy cheap ambition, adver-
tises "ready made tailHs, at whose
manufacture he admits that Robinson
Crusoe would gibe; while part of the
Duchess confession runs:
Iwrite letters blatant
On medicines patent
And use any other you mustn't;
And vow my complexion
Derives lis perfection
From souebo iy's soap-whieh Il doesn't
lit certainly doesn't!' the Duke quantity
echoes. The ladies who at once advertise
themselves and soap are SO familiar, and
the business is SO obvious and absurd,
that it is wonder satirists have had
nothing effective 10 say hitherto.
Sir Arthurs music is unfailingly me-
lodious, and the freshness of it, consid-
ering that this is his tenth opera, is
quite extraordinary. Only very rarely
indeed do we catch faint echo of his
own woik IN previous scores (at times
we do SO, it is true, but we viii not
quote and perhaps strain examples);
still more rarely is there suggestion of
the work of any other musician, except
when he purposely initiates = always
with taste and gracefulness-the man
ner Of a school. One of the most re-
markable and delightful features in the
score is its variety. Sir Arthur has a
marvellous aptitude for fitting his music
to the occasion. and can be gay or ten
der with equal case and appropriateness.

Ladies' New Royal Satin Kid Button
Shoes. The first arrival during the New
Year, bidding for the favor they merit.
Fashioned over lasts correct in shape,
fitting closely, making pretty foot
prettier and more graceful looking still
sure to become popular with ladies
tasteful and exacting in footwear. Is
frightened in appearance by Ornamen-
tai trimmings of patent leather ut the
toe and around the heel. The vamps
are cut with a pretty scallop, which Is
very effective, and by its attractiveness
proves 1t to be a practical remedy for the
foot otherwise than shapely, giving it q
neat, admirable form. The New Royal
Satin Kid, of which they are made, is
soft and pliable as silk, and strong In
fibre never presents q cheap or COM
mon appearance. With all the advan-
tages and none of the disadvantages of
the highest standard French Kid, it Is
less expensive and more durable Ii less
apt to crack or chip aud does not so soon
show signs of wear as the foreign leather,
which makes the Royal Satin Kid very
desirable. The sOles are pliable and Of
sufficient thickness for general wear or
dress. The heels are moderately high,
but shapely. Making, trimming and
finish as nearly faultless as any make of

insists on greater rights for Portugal,
charges that the British consul at Mozam-

the Portuguese, and is taking the most
energetic measures TO expel all English
