wear, may be treated to n sash of this
description and it will then become n
very acceptable second best house gown.
Have You ever tried com bination of
red and black? They are devils colors,"
to be sure, but vastly becoming and
striking for all that. If you have never
tried them, experiment n little with
your old lace gown and see what can
be done. Make plain lining for it of
bright rcd satin, or red silk if you have
any on hand which will answer the
purpose. Let the waist be tight fitting
and make the sleeves and the skirt as
plain as you please. Let the black lace
waist fit loosely over the foundation

which you may not have heard, and that
is the sash.
This is the season, you know. when
women dress the back quito as much, if
not more, than the front. The front of
the gown or the front of the jacket may
be ever SO plain, but the back must be
fanciful. Unjust be beautifully trimmed
and it must be decorated with bows and
decked out with all the fincry which
in past seasons has been put upon the
front.
The latest and the best thing for dec
Grating the back of the dress is the
large sash, and by its aid an old gown
may be transformed more than one
would suppose possible at first glance.
The sash may be of any color But
the material should be silk ribbon about
five inches wdc,or perhaps even wider,
If the height of the wearer will permit,
and it must be long enough to fulfill all
the requirements.
Decorate the ends of the ribbon with
braiding or with flowers or feathers, in
fact with anything that might suit your
fancy. Take the ribbon and carry it
once around the waist, beginning at the
back and crossing it ut the front, carry
it again around the back over the bust.
and up under the arms to a spot which
is just between the shoulders, and there
tie big bow.
Let some one then who is acting as
lady's maid fasten the bow in place be-
tween the shoulders, and then let the
ends hang down in very long streamcrs
to the bottom of the dress If the
dress be n trained one so much the
better, but the ends OF the sash should
come completely to the bottom of the
train. If the ribbon is very heavy it
will generally hang in place, but there
is just possibility that it may fall out
of it's proper folds and hang down at
the sides in an awkward way.
In case this occurs one or two hooks
and eyes at various points in its length
will remedy the trouble, allowing the
HOOKS and eyes to be fastened in such
way as to hold the ribbons in place.
The hooks must be of the kind known
as ''safties," which cannot be I'M
claspcd oe their own accord, but the
eyes must be rs small as can be found.
When the sash is thus put on, it does
not have stiff appearance as one
might suppose; on the contrary it looks
most artless and beautiful and dccoratcs
the dress most handsomely.
An old lace dress, one which has done
duty for several seasons in the street
and which is now too tlilapidated for a
dinner gown or even for nice house
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1892-02-07

is not small wasted, and these gar
mcnts ut the same time look very pretty
A coy cloak for winter which permits
the wearer to keep on house dress in
the street, or ut least to put on the
cloak over Il somewhat loose gown is
one made of regular blanket material.
The blanket is in stripes of navy blue
upon gray background, which when
worn gives an almost diagonal appear
ancc to the pattern, and is extremely
pretty nevertheless.
Broad bands of sable. and very
deep sable collar with sable trimming
down the front, add to the charming
effect of this cozy winter gown. Col
lars are worn lower than they were last
winter, greatly to the grief CT women
who indulge in very expensive cloalls,
and who are now obliged to get them
made over.
Last winter fur coats had tall collars,
so tall that they reached almost to the
back of the wearer's head, and the
puffs upon the sleeves were very high
and very dainty. This winter the col
lar is much lower and the sleeve puffs
arc greatly abbreviated, in fact there is
only aslight putting upon the sleeves
and the collars arc made SO that they
can turn over until they arc made the
height of an ordinary collar.
If you are the owner of fur coat-a
seal skin for cXamplc-and have tried
to get it made over you know that the
figure mentioned is startlingly like the
one first paid a very modcrate-sized
seal Skin jacket costs $3.50; every year it
costs YOU $50 to get it made over, so you
sec that the investment, while it is
becoming one, is a constant source of
expense to you season after season.
a certain cloaklike cloth wrap which
is extremely comfortable and looks
stylish has collar very much like
those which were worn last year. In
deed the collars that are worn upon
wraps and capcs are quite as high as
they ever were. 1t is only upon coats
and jackets they are abbreviated. The
cape in question has very high collar
lined with nstrallan; the astrallan is of
a fine quality SO that the collar docs not
produce wild appearance around the
face of the wearer.
The yoke is plentifully braided and
around the edge of it there is n very
deep band of astralian. Gathered in at
the back are several folds of cloth, and
the front is also fastened rather closely
to the figure. The sides are long and
loose flowing. The entire garment is
an extremely pretty one, and is one of
those useful things which may he worp
in either rain or shine.

The feather fan or the fancy fan is

dress. The fancy for old fans with
landscapes painted upon them, or coun-
try scenes. or scenes which one has Wis.
tied during the past year, is prevalent
among women who can afford to in
dulge in such cXtravagant trifles, but
i'll lieu of these elegant things may be
mentioned the fans that arc made at
home upon a gau2e foundation, and
which very nicely answer the purpose
of the more elaborate ones.
After all the dress fan is fan for
show and not for use, and it is fan
which is carried for the purpose of pro-
noting conversation; the fan firtations,

After the custom just limited Mt a dear

MCCARTHY BEGINS TRAINING.


He Thinks Five Days Work VIII Make
Him Fit for Burns.
There will be n Providence delegation
numbering between 80 and 100 at the ring
side of the Coney Island Athletic Club on
Monday night To see Bobby Bnrns and
Cal Mccarthy battle for supremacy and
the possession of the 81 800 purse. The
majority of those who attend are friends
of Burns and expect, or rather hope, to
see him win. The rest of the delegation
are ardent admirers of Mccarthy and
can't possibly see how Burns stands any
show whatever of winning. AS a matter
of fact Burns chances appear brighter
every day. He is working like n Trojan
at Cuney Island aud has been for two
weeks. Mccarthy on the contrary has
not been taking the care of himself that a
man should who expects TO get the large
training twice Cal started at work again
on Wednesday. He has six pounds of
flesh TO get off before Monday and which
he may succeed in accomplishing that
task, IL Is n foregone conclusion that he
will not be in the condition that he ought
TO be. He is evidently undertaking Burns
and he may find out his mistake too
late.

Brown, @; stoneh am, 4.

Brown won second and easy victory
from the Stoneham team on Lincoln
field yesterday afternoon. The game was
very quickly played but was too one
sided to provoke much enthusiasm on the
part of the spectators. White, the Fresh
man pitcher, put up an excellent game
and succeeded in fooling his opponents in
first class style, giving none bases on
balls. striking out four and allowing but
three hits during the game. Tenney's
throwing to second yesterday was perfect.
There was but one stolen base gotten
during the game by the visitors. The
Browns got great lead in the early part
of the game and succeeded in shutting
out the visitors every time but the first
inning. Moore, the Stoneham pitcher
did not prove very effective. Feeley, one
of Browns substitutes, played left field
for the stonehams and did good work.
The score:
