Another young man came up at this

were embroidered with tiny white crescents.
As he stood watching her a friend came up

The noise of the band drowned the rest Of

The women of Pittsburg had a health as
ISOLATION recently formed. One of their
first efforts. says the New York Times, in q
radical move in their work has been to petit
ton the proper authorities to prohibit pro-
mlscuous expectOratlon. The floors of the
street cars aud public places are not to con-
tain, If they can help it, cuspidors for gem
eral use. If this can be accomplished, even
with an approximate degree of success, the
gain to the city's health will be large One

merely the elevated stairs and platforms
were prohibited ground, the women of
the two cities would experience deep graft

In this connection the recent words of a
physician are suggestive. The time must
come said he, ''when consumptives will be
subjected TO certain quarantine. 1t is well
known that the sputa from a
patient suffering with tubercular consump-
ton is harmless while moist. When, how
ever, this sputa dries and is disseminated in
the air in a fine dust, it is fatal to any one
breathing it. Yet our public conveyanoes
are daily frequented by persons in almost
the last stages of this disease. who cough
and raise without restraint. Not half Of
them realize the danger to which they
expose others by so doing, and the few who
may are doubtless Indifferent, in the face Of
their own accepted doom. The future, how
ever, must show change"
One of the spring toilets. says the Paris
letter Of the Herald, is a very rich costume
of light gray faille The vest of faille, emu
broidered with gold and colored beads. The
waistcoat Of blue faIlle, elegantly embroid-
cred, the sleeves and bottom of the skirt
embroidered with Louis XIV. designs of
gold and colored beads.
Simplicity, and at the same time rioh-
ness, Is the most d'ordre. That is to say
you get dress of the very simplest out
and you decorate it with the richest en-
broiderieS and beads. / have spoken above
of the question of the bouffante revival
The anti-bouffantes have been compelled to
give point to their opponents, and they
have admitted to the extent that in the ma
jority of the dresses made just now the
fronts are wavy, more especially at the top
of the skirt This is the first departure
from the collante.
There is a tendency to cut the corsage J.,
shorter than in the winter. The pelerine
with the Henry ii. collar is very much in
fashion. Light cloth with a double pelerine,
and always the raised collar, with the back
embroidered with gallons placsd fat, the
Henry II. collar with gallons Of silver
around the sleeves.
One of the latest and handsomest creaS
tions Of the Rue de la Paix house is of biege
crepon, the bottom of which is embroidered
on border Of perlwinkle blue bouquets Of
periwinkles, being held in lovers knots, en-
| tirely embroidered with fine gold beads.
The corsage and the sleeves entirely en-
broidered. This costume is of the most
springlike freshness.
Another costume is of gendarme blue
crepon, embroidered with very fine and
very light jet. The embroidery passes
| through two gallons of silver, with most
happy effect The sleeves are crossed in
bias by long gallons of silver, which look ex-
quisite.
A costume of black surah with bouquets
| of red hyacinths. The sleeves of moss green
faille, covered with black lace, the lining of
moss green, the apron of pleated moss
green, covered over with a shell of black
lace, forming costume of delicious light.
ness. which goes far toward being a success.
For dinner dress let me quote you one
Of Ottoman gray-green, with the border
embroidered in chenille, which is encircled
with gold. A very rich effile, arranged to
match the embroidery, frames the bottom
of the embroidery. The corsage is one
with the sleeves embroidered. Two tails of
| velvet form panels behind.
Another delicious dress from the same
| house is a fancy periwinkle costume, with
| corn colored pods worked over it. The
dress is straight and clinging. The corsage
| is cut in bias and the sleeves are of poult dc
sole, of corn color.
As for the women, instinct must guide
them in this country, says the New
| York Press One reason why black Is re-
sorted to SO constantly Is because women do
not know what to wear. They are afraid
| of appearing overdressed,a and choose black as
unconspicuous. Gay dresses add very much,
| however, to the jollity Of the occasion.

! toilets have come to enjoy themselves; they
are prepared for pleasure. The hostess,
| however, unless she understands very well
the means and habits Of her guests. should
not be too deliberately dressed or she may
make some somber robed maid or matron

present time that decollete gown shall be
worn at dinner as to ball, although it is
certainly not In as high favor here as abroad.
The shoulders and throat are probably
quite as appropriately shown in the dining
room as in the ball room, but an extreme
style is undoubtedly to be deprecated when
one hears a man say of woman whose
| physical charms are lavishly displayed,
| Those are arms one likes to be nearl" The
round necks that have been in vogue for
the last year or two are modest and pretty,
but more prudish persons will select less
conspicuous style.
One Of the very original young women on
Murray Hill, says the New York Sun, is a
handsome creature who changes her mood
methodically just as she changes her dress.
She argues that no girl can be altogether
| charming if she is forever gay, serious,
sentimental, sad. or playful. She has studied
! the question carefully. and has satisfied her
self that the way to fascinate is continually
| to surprise people with fresh moods. Never
let people know just how they are going to
find you. In this manner you always excite
| curiosity and become something of an
| enigma to your friends.
