Miss Minnie Wanamaker is ons Of the
most loved and universally admired daugh-
tiers Of the cabinet She is q tall, gra eful
blonde, with a sweet dignity Of manner d
vivacity that wins for her friends wherever
she may go. She has enjoyed superior ad-
vantages OF seeing the world and learning
| TO know lis people while dwelling beneath
their own vine aud fig tree. One would
therefore think that tIe fair young Ameri-
can would have formed for herself some
beau ideal of manhood into whose keeping
she would long ago have entrusted her
maiden heart.
Yet, strange TO say, when l asked her to
give me candid description of her Ideal
husband, she confided TO me thu fact that IN
all sincerity she had never formed one. II
fear you will judge me very fickle,n she
added, "but TO tell you the truth find that
my fancy changes with every new acqualnt-
ance Of the masculine gender This deplor-
able fact goes 70 prove that in my day
dreams of q future state of matrimonial
happiness there has been no dehuite picture
formed, and, in fact. believe that the ro-
mantle quality that marked the days Of
The Children Of the Abbey has entirely
died out in this more humdrum age.m
How many ladies, says the New York
Sum- know that the sweet Odors with which
they love to surround themselves are really
stimulating and refreshing-laveudera aud
lemon that our grandmothers folded away
in chests Of linen, roses and violets that
breathe in gentle fragrance from every fold
aud frin of sweet wOman'S habiiments to-
day, even the homely scents of sage and
benzine. There is an occasional grumhler
who, for want of something else to criticise
processes an aversion to this perfume
habit amoug women and descanls
learnedly on the superattraction
OF well-bathed natures own fragrance
emanating from clearly person clothed in
fresh linen. But the grumbler doesn't I'M
derstand that the faint, delicate fragrance
OF perfume Is the sign manual of pc. feet
cleanliness. Sweet orders, like fresh flowers
fade swiftly when brought in proximity
with a person which, from disease or care
lessness, emits any poisonous vapors. SO
the next time when you meet lady with
that faint, Intoxicating fragrance hnger-
ing in her garments you may know for a
CO tainty that the cleanliness that is next to
goodness is the basis and beginning of the
fragrance that delights you.
The Carrie capes have bloomed this spring
in advance of the roses says the New York
World The heavy fur wraps, cloaks, and
capes, which we're SO much in vogue all
winter, caused a reaction to cloth and
wooden goods as soon Rs che weather would
permit. The new styles of capes are
similar to those woru in the fall, but
they are longer and fuller. A Venetian red
cape appeared one warm day last week. 1t
was gathered to a yoke of black cloth,
heavily embroidered. The gathers were
full and evenly distributed Tue bottom
OF the cape fell just below the wearer's
waist.
Another cape Of tan similarly made was
gathered to yoke of deep red cloth en-
bellIshed with gold passementerie. A high
Medici collar was adorned with the passe-
menterie, which extended downward to a
point front and back.
A carriage dress, which is designed for
the first appearance Of warm weather, is a
dainty marvel in yellow brown and gold.
The material is yellow brown silk. The
skirt is cut in scallops around the bottom.
and edged with fall of yellow lace, which
nearly coDceals plating of the silk. The
back is fau- shaped demi-train. A Louis
XIV. coat of brown brocade, with long tabs
and broad lappels. opens oyer a vest Of gold
lace. Gold lace falls over the hands A
gold lace toque is held in place upon the
head by pale amber hat pins. Yellow
brown gloves, stitched with gold thread, are
| to be worn with this gown.
The spring frock has very long pointed
waist and sometimes it has q straight skirt
and sometimes it has paniers. Il has a
queer fashion Of letti z broad frills of lace
turn down in straight line about its
| shoulders, even upon high-necked gowns.
This fashion is "Reminiscences of the DAYS
when the beauty of the curve was hardly
thought of; when yews, box hedges, dresses
and garden beds were all characterized by
| the same angularity. No woman with any
feeling for grace of line would SO spoil her
figure.
What wicked underskirts these new ones
arel For summer use, of course. They are
ankle long, yes; but the lace on the edge is a
good half yard deep, and you can see right
through it. Especially if the skirt is black,
you know, and the lace is black; 1T looks so
modest, nice, and all that. But you can see
right through the lace Just the same and
well-they are as you may imagine.
Many girl who would faint il obliged to
wear tights might as well be clad in them on
windy day, when the breeze sweeps aside
the drapery of her full, plain skirt, and ap-
parently puts her in tight trousers. But,
then, the girl doesn't know this happens, or
when it happens, and that makes a lot of
difference-to the girl
Mrs. Cleveland was on Broadway, New
York, for few minutes Thursday morn
ing in a toque that one might be pardoned
for looking at a second time. 1t was a
rough. black straw, with trimmings of rib
bon loop and a single, long stemmed rose
with three leaves standing nearly erect be-
hind. This use of single flower for garni,
ture, much as one carries one jonqui in ones
hand, one orchid at ones bosom or one violet
between ones lips, is something character
istic of the seas IN.
