NEW York, Oct. 22.-Paris is no longer
the home Of the daintiest, most luxurious
and the most perfectly developed worshiper
of fashion. She has come to New York
and taken up her abode in our midst, whence
her edict will 60 forth to the uttermost
parts Of the land.
1t is for her, rather than for all the doc
tors of Gotham, to say whether we sh.ll
shiver in silks or shudder in fannels and I
have prepared a symposium" Of her views

fashion you will follow, or whether you will
inaugurate your own particular fad. At
any rate, don't fail to note the nice dis
examinations here.
MRS. LEsLIE's INVENTION IN SILK AND
WOOL.
Mrs. Leslie believes in feminine indie
pendence and individual preferences. LET

DR. MARY r. EMILY SAYS PRETTY UNDER

DIR. Emily has given the subject OF under
wear her attention from a standpoint quite
distant from those occupied by our fair act-

her conversation with me was flanuelly in

about healthful underwear. II think it

to have we'll distributed warmth over your

revolution in dress and winter underwear.

such radical common sense quite took my
breath away. Apropos. have you noticed
that a woman invariably attributes any
such failure to some cause impalpable?
MRS. PARAN STEVENS DRESSES HANDSOMELY
AND sENsIBLY.
Mrs. Stevens is described as dressing with

most ultra fashion and the most bitter east
wind. 1t is the tendency to wear lighter,
simmer and more compact underwear each
winter, aud Mrs. Stevens, with ether leaders
of fashion, Is, it Is needless to say, wearing
light, thin and compact undergarments.
Yet so beautifully woven and fine in text
ure are they that the wearers are quite as
warm as they could be in fuzzy, oamphor
permeated wooden things which careful
danes used to unpack at the first cool
breath of winter.
Mrs. Stevens dresses with light, smooth.

petticoats are OF silk-one short, the other

Mrs. Stevens does net wear wash silk
chemises- These are not considered quite the
thing now. Her substitute is the odd. fanci-

worn especially by driving women for tie
warmth in its long sleeves. She wears much
lawn and many lace trimmed cambrics.

PAULINE HALL WEARS TIGHTS ALL THE
TIME.
On the stage she calls them ''euuestri-
