1t is difflcult to lay down any hard or fast
rule as to what the fashions In dressmaking
are likely to be, for they are so diverse that
no two gowns would seem to be alike. There
are fashions to suit ali faces and figures, and
costly gowns would seem to have gone out OF
fashion, so there is no excuse for any one be-
ing unbecomingly attired.
Woman and Work" is the name Of a PAM
phlet recently published by the italian Pro-
fessor Mineghelli. The learned professor
represents woman as the one who has from
the earliest times had far more than her
share OF hard work, and even now she Is be-
ing mercilessly used by the large capitalists.
He blames the ladies OF society for the COM
Portable and indulgent life they lead, and
calls upon them to render some Justice to
their less favOrably placed sisters, and de-
mands more equal division OF labor.
The scoop bonnet Is a favorite, because It 10
generally becoming and is so shaped that
while being bonnet 1t has the youthful ap-
pearance OF a round hat. The distinctive
sSSoP
brim at all, and that 1t lies perfectly nat upon
the front of the head, Just over the forehead.
This gives a very::nice chance Tor q becoming
face trimming. Women with small, regular
features find the scoop bonnet very becoming
II trimmed with standing bow, which is
placed on the front or the bonnet In the most
upright, aggressive manner possible. Around
the edge OF the bonnet there must be heavy
ruohing of some kind OF velvet, and at the
back another upright bow. This makes a
very pretty hat, and one which will probably
be fashionable all Winter.
The latest thing in table linen decoration is
the butter-plate dolly. 1t Is made OF white
grass linen embroidered and cut in the shape
OF dower, usually q rose or pansy, wrought
| in the natural tint.
Plain white handkerchiefs are not stylish
any more; all the handkerchiefs III the
market are ornamented with flower or fancy
designs This fashion does not only hold
good for ladies' wear, but also for gentlemen's
use, and 1t is remarkable that gentlemen also
use handkerchiefs OF very small size.
| Change the furniture OF q room occasionally
to relieve the eyes. Physicians claim that
nervous persons should not only change their
surroundings In the way OF colors and or.
| rangement but even their rooms.
Nine. Leon Bertaux, the sculptress
commissioned to execute bust OF Nine
Carnot, obtained permission to take up her
abode at the Chateau de Fontainebleau
while the Presidential household was there
A portion OF the glazed gallery leading from
the apartments occupied by NJ. and Nine
Carnot was transformed into studio, and
here the sculptor labored at her task. 1t will
be exhibited next Spring at the salon, but In
all probability Nine. Bertaux will allow It tt
be shown first at the exhibition OF the UnioI
des Femmes Peintres ct Sculpteurs
1t used to be said that. with the long en-
veloping cloaks, a woman must depend bo
the elegance OF her costume upon the style o
her bonnet and the ft of her boots But sine,
the era Of the improved cloak came In this Il
no longer true. For the cloak is made sucl
an elegant affair that 1t Is In itself q thing o
great beauty. Black is not favorite colo
for the long cloak, because when trimmed tn
) long. hanging Jets and beads and passamen
teries are just little suggestive OF trapping
OF voc. SO large garment cannot be en-
livened sufficiently by trimmings to relieve
OF Its mournful appearance. The most popu
lar shade is, perhaps, a peculiar green know
as reseda. Reseda is dull green which I
somewhat like the sage and yet Is different
1t is color not easily described, and yet 1t 1
the most popular green OF the Fall.
