of those blouses that dark Russian green

some of the somber shades in English

The pretty house dress can be made In

any goods that one prefers, only, in case
it should be made of washable goods,
narrow French hemmed ruf1ies should

thread and studded with gilt nail heads.
1t was to be worn as a reception and full

belted in Some of the blouse skirts
reach quite to the knees and others not
so far. The blouse is always open on
the left side from top to bottom, and is
fastened by buttons and buttonholes
and by straight, round belt with one
large or two small buckles.
The buttons and buckles are quite
large and of rather rough, barbaric
make. The handsomest and most APP
propriate trimming is very narrow
band of astrakhan around the bottom
of both skirt and blouse; but as this
would look out of season very soon
would suggest the employment of two
or three rows of rope cord around the
skirt and one row edging the blouse.
The hat is usually capote or toque
made of the dress material when FEAST
BILE. The blouse is the newest garment
of this season.
The blouse has this double value, as it
is just the thing for a slender young fig
ure and looks equally well on plump
one. There is snug lining fitted like
corset cover, which is necessary. Other
wise the blouse would "hitch." The
sleeves are rather full and wrinkled at
the top and plain toward the bottom.
Dresses are seen now in which there
seems q determined attempt to revive
the old double skirt, and these blouses
come somewhat under the same head.
Double skirts are not graceful, like the
plain skirts, with their unbroken lines.
The bell skirt is still made, but the
plaits are no longer laid under and fas-
tened. The back breadth is put on in
one double box plait, fastened only at
the top, which allows it to fall in q
graceful sweep, carrying out the idea of
the Vatican plait to certain extent.
give here such a gown. 1t is made
of dark blue surah with white lozenges
as large as fifty cent piece. Around
the bottom there is superb rose plait-
ing of dark blue satin; the skirt is
not draped in the front and has deep
Vatican plait at the back of the skirt,
which falls with easy grace. The sleeves
are high and wrinkled, and the waist is
made by laying plaits up to point in
front and back to the neck, over
gimp Of white Grape. A belt of white
ribbon is twisted around the waist and

NEW YORK, April Tt would seem
as if the long, slim effects due to the de-
sire to appear sylphlike have had their
day, since everybody is now discussing
the new Russian blouse dresses, and it is
safe to say that within four weeks every
woman who can compass the result will
appear in Cossack gown.
The distinguishing trait about them is
a plain skirt with scant trimming and a
blouse with the skirts quite long enough
to come under the head of double skirt

PLAYING to List,


An anonymous contributor to the
Atlantic Monthly says that several
summers of her girlhood were passed
in an old villa at Castle Gandolfo,
which before 1870 was the summer
residence of the Pope, near Rome. A
Polish lady, who occupied the lower
floor of the house, had a piano in her
parlor, and very kindly gave the lit
tie girl permission to use it every day
during the hour of her own afternoon
drive.
I was proud of being allowed to
learn some little pieces, particularly
a duet from Lucia di Lammermoor,"
which l looked upon as a masterpiece
of subtlety and execution. One af-
ternoon [ was humping away at that
morsel, with my eight-year-old hands
stretched at last to the full extent of
an octave and my eight-year-old mind
happy in the thought Of having mas
tered all the technical difficulties of
the composition, when the door open
ed softly, and l looked up to see a
white-haired man, with a handsome,
kindly, and to me very venerable
~couutenance, standing beside me.
I stopped playing in alarm, but he
motioned me not to move, and said
gently, in Italian:
go on, my little girl, never mind
me. l should like to hear that piece
over again"
Half treasured by the kindness of
his manner, l began again nervously
at Lucia" and somehow managed to
get through it.
ut is not bad," said my listener.
He took hold of my hand and showed
me how the notes should be struck
and what l must aim at in prac.
ticing.
and now, if you like, l will play to
you" he said, and sat down and play
ed Lucia" to show me how it should
be done. From that he went on to
other music, very different, but Won
derfully grand, it seemed to me, and
SO on and on, till, stopping at last,
he saw me standing there. with eyes
big with wonder and full Of tears.
you have a soul for music, child"
he said; study hard, and will get
on"
At that moment my fathers voice
called from the stairway. Igathered
up my book to go. The old gentle
man patted me on the head as [
thanked him shyly, and | ran away
full of wonder and excitement.
Afterward | heard and later still l
understood that the musical treat of
that afternoon was a privilege which
many would have envied me: that
the piano in the tapestried salon had
vibrated under the touch of genius;
that l had been listening to the
great pianist, the Able List, and
what is appalling to think of, had
been playing to him.
