She Is An Interesting Figure Under
Whatever Circumstances
You Meet Her.

and Sweetness, and Women
Doctors.
An Artists Wife Not Jealous of Models
Draped . la Eve Doinxs
of Women.

New YORK, March 4.-Wherever one meets
her the woman of the day is an interesting
figure. Her hat with its s~lanting VOWS that
reach and lean and stretch their arms for-
ward, her high. shouldered sleeves between
which her head seems helplessly sink
ing, her coat with its bobbing
basaues and her scant skirt tight
about her hips. hounced to her knees and
trained. are one and all worth looking on.
At the Brayton Ives sale there was a tall
pale woman, high bred and slender. She
wore Grape and dull silk swathed about her
so duskily that in a different and f%unereal
way she livalled Bernhardt in her gauze
wrappings. From her close little bonnet,
above which black butterflies opened and
closed their wings over black
blow aways.' waved a fluff of
straw-colored hair and dropped a
heavy, cloudlike vel. The fan-like puffs
on her shoulders rose nearly to her ears,
but her trailing draperies hung weeping.
Her skirts lay pe%nitentially in the dust and
the dust gathered thick and gray upon
them. Wrapped about with sackcloth and
sprinkled with ashes was this swaying len.
ten lily. Her lips never moved, her face
was quiet. white, but not unhappy.
At the dog show one evening was a wo-
man with IA piquant, irregular face lit by
big, smiling brown eyes. When she spoke
her words came with u lisp, like a child's.
She lifted a pup and held it above her face.
and We looked at the curly cared kicker anc
then at the pink-cheeked, picturesque dog
lover in her frock of chamois cloth and her
bonnet decked with pink velvet roses. We
saw that the pup had honest eyes
OF q watery blue and the woman
had dimples. She had festoons
of narrow gold braid also, catching
about the bottom of her skirt a band OF
pale yellow velvet perhaps Il foo. wide
The braid was Topped in s~collops and al
each point it described a Louis XIV. kno,
with bows and ends and jet beads cleaning
The woman wore a smart jacket also, who's,
skirts were siashed In battlements. ant
above the battlements were more ~festoon,
with other knots and ends. There was
Rlittering rosette Of gold chains in yellow
metal at her throat, and the pup waved ant
snapped at it, attracted like a baby by tn,
colors.
