The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-10-25

so beautifully disguised. The outside is of
striped material. which looks exactly like
tweed, and, indeed. if the Macintosh be
of the most approved order, it is really
tweed with waterproof cloth underneath.
The collar and the tie, which are also trim
and snug about the neck, are likewise Of
ckintosh-Macklntosh cloth, made and
fitted after this fashion. The hat is one of
the soft shapes so popular this fall, and is
trimmed with band of cloth and bow
of the same.
Upright upon one side of it there stands
bit of plumage which bears the weather
we'll. 1t does not become draggled under
even the smartest RAIN because it has been
accustomed to showers and has been wet
so many times that its native element is
water instead of sun.
The driving gloves are a very important
part of woman's dress. Prince Pess, who
is to marry Miss Cornwallis-West, is so
proud of the hands of his fair tiancee that
he has presented her with four dozen pairs
of the handsomest driving gloves, beauti-
fully stitched up the back and of all
colors. So that Miss West may wear
different pair each time that she goes out
TO drive. And in that way she may vary
the monotony of a set costume which
might otherwise become more or less
common.
By the way, have you heard that the
prince desires his tiancee to become one
of the best whips in England, and that he
has taken this method of encouraging her
love for driving?
OF at home gowns there is surely no end,
and indeed there should be none, because,
since home is woman's sphere, it is fitting
that she should put more taste and
thought upon the gowns that she is to
wear at home than upon those which she
is to wear elsewhere. With the at home
gown much latitude is, of course, allowed,
nj 10 of Yuh
was In the Hargous trousseau and which
Is being copied, with q few changes, for a
young society woman who is to spend this
winter in New York with one of the Van
derbilt families, is of blue faille with large
white polka dots in it. The sleeves are of
the same material AS the dress, and the
collar is likewise the same. Indeed, no
other material is seen save in the Fedora
front, which is of a pale shade of terra
Gotta. There is a large black velvet bow
at the neck, and tiny black velvet cord
ing outlines the collar and separates the
sleeve of the cuff from the full upper.
One side of the sleeve is slightly draped.
The rest hangs plain and there is a demi-
train.
On top of the shoulders in place of the
plain, regular putting an attempt is made
at a rosette effect. The sleeve is gathered
very full for the space of perhaps an inch
and half, and the fullness is caught down
-
pretty little shirred rosetted effect.
If you are the owner of one of the beau
tiful long ostrich-tip or coque feather boas,
which have been so fashionable during the
cool DAYS of summer and the warmer days
of autumn, you may De able TO wear the
boa a few weeks longer if you have re-
course to strategy.
Select the heaviest street gown that you
own and have light chamois waist made
to wear under it. Have the waist perforated
with holes at least an eighth of an inch
square to permit of ventilation, and then
button it on tightly underneath the dress.
This will make the gown so much
warmer that you can afford to wear it with
only the outside protection of a feather boa,
and you will not run the risk of getting a
premature attack of grip, or catching the
incipient seeds and germs of pneumonia,
bronchitis and like ills. which are boating
around in every atmosphere looking for
attackable spots.
