procured, by sending small squares of linen
broadcast for the purpose. the written sigma
lures Of hundreds OF people, friends and
strangers, famous and otherwise. The
names were written Ia indelibie ink, and, to
facilitate the work, the bits OF linen were
stretched and ironed before they were sent
out, 70 present a stiff. smooth surface. After
the signature was obtained the squares were
cut down in various shapes, oblong, octa-
Ron. rectangular and the like, and were
sewed together, the joining being afterward
outlined with a coarse wash silk in shaded
mahogany reds. A hemstItch hem formed
border, and the article as finished
possessed the triple merit of uniqueness,
strength and ability to be Numbered, what
ever 1t missed Of actual beauty.
A model Felix evening. gown, says the
Paris fashion writer of the World, Is of
mauve gauze over pink satin, most artis-
tic combination. The skirt is made long
and full, with several festooned frills Of
silver lace about the bottom. The bodice is
short-the long coats for bodices are seeing
their last days here-and finished by
a pointed piece Of silver embroidery. A
square Spanish jacket of silver filigree work
is worn over the pufed gauze OF the bodice,
which is made of pink satin like the under
skirt or slip. 1t is decollete and has short,
full sleeves, showing all of the arms, and
filled with frills of the silver lace.
Another gown for a young lady is of
pure white tulle over white satin and is fair
to look upon. 1t is exquisitely simple, its
only decoration being a wide Greek border
in silver ribbon about the bottom of the
skirt, the low-cut corsage and the short
puffed sleeves. A white satin corslet
finished the waist.

foundation skirts, in spite of the popularity
OF the tn-de-siecle or bell skirt. Many of
the bell skirts, however, are arranged over
foundation skirt though this is not the or
thodox manner of making them. Some
dressmakers fancy they hang better
mounted in this way rather then when
simply lined.
The new wraps are either extremely long
coats or mantles that reach to the knee.
There are also some long driving-coats Of
teecy soft camelshair in notified patterns
richly trimmed with furs with harmonizing
colors. The coat may be Of black, 80 that il
can be worn with any dress, or it may be in
colors like granite or tan, to harmonic or
contrast with the gown, as the
wearer fancies. The newest color this
season in coats is cornflower blue-a
darker, more becoming shade than
the cadet blue Of few years ago. The new
wraps are almost always trimmed with fur /;
the jackets have fur collars and are faced
with fur in front. The capes are often finc
ished with the popular triple bands around
the edge. separated by a space, each band
being only an inch wide on the pelt, but
about three times this width on the face.
Pale granite gray camelshair capes notified
in a darker tone are trimmed with bands of
sable and finished with high Medici, collar
lined with sable. Royal blue is another
color which is liked in broadcloth for coats
and is generally trimmed with long fur
like Alaska sable, or light fur like fox.
Mode shades of cloth are often made up
into coats and long wraps, and trimmed
with snowy, though inexpensive, badger
fur, which comes in tones of these oolors.
