velvet band came from under the arms. and.
crossing IN front, was held by a big gold
buckle, a like one coufning the crossed ends
IN the middle of the back, where thew fell
like sash to the edge of the skirt frill.
with this costume was a large hat, with a
soft crown of black velvet and a halo brim
OF bise lace over deep red silk. At the back
was panache Of black and crimson feath-
ers, and with broad black velvet strings tied
under the chin completed particularly chic
and tasteful toilette.
How wicked is deception in toilet affairs.
Was this girl a silly fool! Her sweet heart
had proposed, says Clara Belle in the
enquirer, and he had been accepted. Her
curly head had rested for one heavenly
minute upon his shoulder. She had said
she loved him with all her heart, and would
he get her big diamond for engagement
And he. having suddenly decided TO have
his COLLABORATION reset, said YES and
wondered how long he could stand being
happy at high-pressure rates. She sud
denly started and began to weep.
w hat Is it, darhng" he pleaded.
~, l have deceived you," she moaned.
IL can't tell you. /"
He was glad just for one brief moment in
the midst OF his agony that the collar button
wasn't touched yet. Then he demanded
bravely: wv hat do you mean? You said you
never loved before"
20. it isn't that-but-"
"What-tell me.n
20, can not; you won't love me any
more"
He explained that he would love her long
after eternity had got all through.
20, dear, 1 can't"
He petted her, and coaxed her, aud finally
IN burst Of tears she sobbed:
My - oh, Harry. my, my hair
d-d-d-doesn't cu"cu-curl naturally--oh. oh"
A fine-looking old gentleman walked
down the aisle of the Star theater the other
evening. says the New York Times. There
was nothing in his appearance to indicate
that his had been q pastoral existence. In
fact, he looked very much other wise, and
might well have been set down as a well-to-
do retired business man. The usher led
him to the row in the orchestra, in which
his seat was. Third scat from the other
end" said the usher, handing the old gem
tleman his check The seat was turned
in use. The old gentleman crawled
over the feet of the people
sitting between him and his
seat. Then he sat down, not on his seat,
but on its upturned edge. He did not look
comfortable on his narrow perch. He was
large man, and, sitting as he was, he
doomed up full foot above those around
him. People began to smoker. They
thought it was funny. Jurt then the cur
tain went up. A young woman was sitting
right behind the fine-looking old gentleman.
She might as well have sat behind board
fence, so far as seeing the play went.
She was equal to the emergency, however.
Leaning forward, she touched the
old gentleman on the shoulder. "Ex-
cuse me-" she said sweetly, would you
please rise for q moment" The old gentle
man did SO with gracious smile. The lady
reached over and showed his seat down into
It's proper position. Thank you." she
family murmured. The old gentlemas said
nothing, but the tittering around him
brought the blood to his face. He seemed to
wish that the floor would open and bury
him from sight. 1t did not, so be sat down
and attempted to lose himself in study Of
his programme.
For evening wear long sleeves prevail, of
the balloon order. gathered into a deep lace
transparent cuff that sits as close as the
sleeve, or to one of tulle, or gauze, or crepe,
very fully pulled to tight lin ng. with a
row of ribbon velvet beads or braid divid-
ing the three puffs ore from another. says
the New York Recorder. Silk and brocade
gowns have the cuffs either braided, en-
broidered or covered with passementerie
Sometimes they button tight outside the
arm. At Others they are very beautifully
lined and turn back il q deep fold above
the hand. A bizarre fancy is to have the
lower edge of the cuff reach to the knuckles,
to shape it like a mitten and put through
it a hole for the thumb. It's only followers.
though, are likely to be the women who
must be notorious at any hazard.
Worth has sleeve idea worthy OF him
self. 1t is of dove-gray Bengaline
silk, outlined with silver braid and a mar
row tinsel embroidery. It fastens diago-
nally at the back, from the left shoulder
down to g little below the waist. Under
dress, long sleeves aud nsckbanG in grass
hopper-green velvet. Large jeweled hooks
quantity attach the sleeves to the seamless
bodice, both at the front and back. Epaulet
puff1ngs and bib knotted at the back in
China crepe.
The ruf1ied cape costume is also a Worth
design and one of his very latest.
The cape is in navy blue vicura, striped
with gold and bordered with velvet. Gold
passenenterie decorates each side of the
fronts. A white lace ruffie enriches the
throat and forms achu and plastron with
It's long ends. Capote glttteriRg with gold
gimp and embroidery; black ostrich feath-
ears and blue aigrette. The feathers form
ruche round the edge of the capote.
Cepes OF all sorts maintain their hold
upon the feminine heart. A novel Que seen
the other day was of the richest black
brocade, with jet ornaments, its somber
elegance made startling by half-handker-
chief of the finest scarlet broadcloth, plated
to form a hood in the back and G graduated
cascade down each side of the front.
In fact, fancy is the only limit &c
the construction Of your cape. pro
vided always that it be suited to your age
your gown and the minute Of wearing. For
while The red-hooded cape would look well
I as a carriage or opera wrap. nothing could
be in worse taste for the street where,
indeed, a neat. close fitting jacket, not toe
smart. though as fine as your purse admits
is much better form than a cape of any
sort.
Redingotes are to be very much to the
| fore this winter. They cover the weareT
| from necl: to foot. have collar and lapelS
like a mans great coat, are shaped TO the
| figure in the back, but fall straight in front
from the one or two buttons fastened al
| tor, thus allowing glimpses OF the smart
waistcoat and handsome shirts worn
under them. Such garment IN dark
| green with edging lines Of narrow black
! gold braid, worn over skirt and waistcoal
| OF tartan, makes a wonderfully stylish cos
tune So, too, does a tau redlngote over a
! skirt of orange aid tan tweed. Some very
| fetching garments are made in fine smooth
pale-colored cloth, edged ell around with
| self-colored embroidery and worn over silk
skirts of exactly their own hue.
