| a certain most elaborate garment OF
sealslSin has u pair OF largo flowing
sleeves. The sleeves are highly pulled
ut the shoulders and extend to the bot
tom of the garment, which is indeed
more of wrap, being half coat fitting
and half loose; confined closely ut tho
waist in the back. But the glory of the
garment lies in its trimming, as this is
the most elaborate feature. Beginning
ut the back of the neck, very heavy
braiding of beautiful pattern extends
from the shoulders all the way down
the back, terminating at Il point ut the
waist.
Tho braiding takes the form of con-
ventional leaves, which are in turn
placed in an enormous leaf, which is
entirely of black jet. From the waist
there hang several punches of jet pend
ants and elaborate jet Communications.
They are in groups of three, four or half
Il dozen, and extend all the way to the
bottom of the wrap.
Around the top of tho Medici collar
there is n thick feather trimming which
surrounds the neck and is fastened in
front with jet clasp. Tho front of
the garment is treated in the same way;
though with fewer of the hanging jets
1t will be noticed that in all the win
ter cloaks the trimming for the back is
more elaborate than that for the front.
Women seem to get themselves up this
season with the special thought of the
way they will look from the rear, and
the back of the hat and the back of the
cloak are much moro deliberately
trimmed than the fronts.
Hair dressing is likewise specially de-
signed to be viewed from either of the
sides or the back. The front is just
plainly waved, but the back fairly
revels in loops and braids and punches
of curls.
Very often there will be bunch of
ribbon tied around the coil which has
been deliberately prepared on the back
of n woman's head, or string of pearl
beads will be clasped round it, or the
hair will be some way decorated other
than with its own braids and coils.
A new and beautiful way of dressing
the hair is to arrange it first in the
old form of the figure eight, which was
fashionable three or four years ago.
The eight should, however, be rounder
than it was then, and should actually
stand forth as if it were an independent
arrangement When this is done n
piece OF satin ribon is coiled in and out
of the eight, and is finally tied in bow
Mt the top OF the head.
A woman who has desire to make
herself as good-looking as possible
would do we'll to give her hairdresser
carts blanche for once, and see if the re-

What is it that makes actors and
actresses inclined to stoutness? The
question is still more pertinent concern
ing singers. 1T requires flesh to sing"
said a dramatic critic. But is flesh the
cause or effect? According to the latest
experiments on physical treatment it is
possible to add this flesh by the simple
and systematic expansion OF the lungs
in pure atmosphere. 1t has long been
the custom of some people to try this
scheme OF increasing their weight by
wind, but beyond their own satisfaction
it has not until recently been suspected
of material benefit. Now it is said that
pure atmosphere and active and ex-
treme expansion OF the lungs greatly
assist in the assimilation OF food, and
results in an increased tendency to flesh
mess. The people of the rostrum and
the stage must continually fight flesh.
