WOMAN OF FASHION.
Spring Styles Already Show in
Shop Windows.
NEWEST THINGS IN GlNGHAMs.
Stripes to Be Worn I'm Everythfng-The
Winter Hats Will Not Be
Soon Discarded.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-TSpecial Core
spondence. Have you seen the early
spring fashions? They are displayed al
ready in the shop windows. and they are
seen in all the stores as you walk up and
down Broadway or any of the large shop
ping thoroughfares.
with frost in the ground and with occa-
sional falls of snow and wintry winds
blowing, one is treated TO sight of some
OF the prettiest spring goods that could
possibly be imagined.
1t is very much like looking in a hot
house window to stand upon a vintry
sidewalk and to gaze through the panes at
the sateens, the ehallies, the muslins and
the cambrics which are now being dis
played so lavish!y everywhere. 1t is as if
one were permitted TO take a glimpse of
rare exotics growing Inxuriously under
the panes of glass, while the poor locker
on stands out in the cold and admires the
rare blossoms.
Almost everything you see is in stripes.
And such very pretty stripesl They are
broad, and some of them are exquisitely
shaded, beginning at the lighter shades
and going all the way down to the deeper
tones-all In the same stripe. Others are
OF a color contrasting with the ground
work of the material and making such
harmony that it is as good as gazing upon
an oil painting just to look upon them.
Real artists must have been at work de-
signing such lovely things, and now that
they have finished their work and are per-
haps gazing upon it from the shop win
dows along with the other passers-by, they
must surely be pleased with their work,
and they cannot help being delighted with
the notes of admiration which fall from
the lips of the fair ones who stop to make
a choice of the pretty materials.
lovely pink bingham has stripes which
are at least three inches broad. The
stripes shade from almost white to the
deepest pink. A beautiful green Bingham
has pink stripes. The green is rather deep
in tone and the pink is fair, as if some del
icate pink blossoms had sprung from out a
bed of moss
A soft gray background has broad stripes

A Very Rich Actress.
New York &c


saw on the strees the other day that
marvellous little woman, Charlotte Crab
tree, known professionally as Lolita. She
Is resting this season. Her permanent
residence is at Lake Hopatcong, and her
home there is marvel of elegance. She
comes to town occasionally TO visit her
friend, Mrs. Doremus. Lolita must be
somewhere near As years of age. She was
bright little dramatic star in California
before the war. Barring a few wrinkles
about her eyes. which are only revealed on
close inspection, she looks as fresh
as she did twenty years ago. She is
Just as vlvacious and fully as
magnetic. Lolita is not given
to boasting about her wealth. She told
an intimate friend not long ago that her
fortune was not a penny less than s., 500,-
600. This makes her the richest actress,
undoubtedly, in the world. She owns
several apartment houses in this city, the
Park theater in Boston and real estate in
nearly every large city in the country.
Her mother. who manages all her affairs,
IS woman of great business sagacity. She
has an eye open for q bargain always.
Lolita, who is absolutely devoted 10 the
old lady, says that but for her great tact
and judgment shewould not today be worth
5000 1t is not at all likely that Lolita
Will do much more stage work, though she
saws that her profits last season were as
great as they have been of late years. In
other words, her drawing capacity is still
good. Lolita Is domestic in her tastes. She
cares little for social life in gay sense.
She is attached 10 few friends. She is
religiously inclined. She is bright con-
versationalist, and she enjoys good
stories. Her favorite jewel Is the tur-
quoise. saw her one night at a little
dinner given to Billy Florence in the st.
James hotel when she must have had $10,-
600 worth of these gems on her person.
She gathers them from all parts of the
world. Lolita has had several narrow
escapes from matrimony, but there is little
probability now that she will ever enter
the divine state. The man whom she
truly loved died several years ago and her
attachment to her mother is such that she
is not likely to allow her affections to stray
again.

AN OLD DUTCH MANSION.
The Only That Now Remains In the CT

The Only That Now Remains In the City
OF Albany, New York.
There is, we believe, but one an thentically
Dutch house left in Albany, aud that is a
humble one, and gives no adequate notion
OF the manner in which the PATRONS and
high officials Of the Dutch colony lived when
Albany was still Rensselaerswyck. Though
the mansion, says Harper's Weekly, is Of a
highly respectable antiquity for an Ameri-
can dwelling bearing tho date on one Of its
gables Of 1865, it is yet more recent by al
most a whole century than the transfer of
New Netherlands TO the English, and the
remaining Of Fort Orange after the Duke of
YOrk'S second title Of Albany. New York
had by that time become thoroughly Angli-
clZed ana though the Dutcness Of Albany

completely extinct, yet the building of Albany

time to be imported from Holland aud not

mercial rather than patriotic. Like the
Schuyler house IN Albany, a spacious man
sion of rather less architectural ambitious
ness than itself, the Van Rensselaer, house
was as near as a builder could come TO a
reproduction Of a prevalent fashion of
town-houses IN England. Its situation, too,
Ike that Of the Schuyler mansion, though
distant from t a mile or more. shows that
the Well-tO-dO Albanans Of the eighteenth
century misjudged, as much as persons
similarly circumstance are likely TO do
10 our own time, the direction Of urban
growth. These houses were built at a dis
lance from what is now ths fashionable
quarter Of Albany, and in regions now given

LIGHTHOUSES.


Some Interesting Facts Concerning the
Guides for Mariners.
There are some $50 lights on the coast of
the Atlantic and the Gulf Of Mexico, 13C
on the Pacific Coast, and some $50 on our
Great Lakes. The 1900 inexpensive lights
on our Western rivers have revolutiOnized
steamboat navigation. making it rs safe to
run by night as by day These river lights
consist simply Of a lantern fixed TO & post,
and costing about $40 each, while il costs
on he average not more than S160 a year
each to maintain them, says Harper
Young People.
There are three classes of lighthouses -
the primary seacoast lights, which mariners
make for in coming from across the waters
the secondary SeacOast and lakecOast lights,
by which vessels find their way by night
along our coasts; and the sound, bay and
harbor lights. Each OF these lights consists
of a lamp set in a lens inside Of lantern
which crowns tower. There are six or
ders Of lights, graded according to their in
tensity. The lamp of the lowest or sixth
order, which consumes only half gill Of
coal oil an hour, gives about as
much light ms an ordinary parlOr
reading lamp Say twelve candle-pOwer),
while the largest or frst-Order lamp, which
burns l6 gils an hour, gives $50 CANDLE
power of light. But while the naked flame
of the lamp gives this much light, the
French Fresnel lens in which the lamp is
set condeuses and concentrates this light, so
that it is multiplied in power many times.
Thus the little 12-candle-pOwe flame Of the
sixth-order lamp has in lens a power of
IS candles; and the great acknowledgement
light Of the first-0rder lamp, when placed in
its enormous lens, gives a power of some
1900 candles. Such lens is Il feet high and
has diameter Of 8 feet
The lighthouses are built of stone, brick
or iron. Many, and especially the smaller
ones in harbors, bays and sounds, are built
on the land. Sometimes the light is placed
in a cupola of house. Generally, however,
it has tower to itself adjoining the house.
In either case the liRht-keeper may have his
family with him, and often there is attached
to the station plat of land where he can
keep his COW, and even his horse, and have
his garden. But when the lighthouse is on
an island, there is only tower, in the vari-
Gus stories of which the several keepers
must eat, sleep and work; and as room is
quite limited, they must leave their wives
and children on Shore as sailors do when
they 90 To sea,
