with fur In almost an original manner,
at the bottom Of the skirt, and alsa
framing the decollete. but II did not stop
here. The lady wore a dog collar on
pearls and there was band OF the fur
enoircling Il top and bottom. Very
quaint idea, but extremely becoming to
the particular wearer.
For receptions and small gatherings
the Jane Hading blouse is very modish.
1t Is made up In white lace or silk
crepon, overhanging a belt OF galloon
set OF with mock gems. The same gal
loon frames the neck and the sleeves.
In some cases these blouses are worn
without sleeves at dancing parties. or,
for reception purposes, you may add the
Russian sleeve, which Is double, q large
puff ending at the elbow and the under
sleeve being tight-ftting and extending
to the wrist. ~, k~
must not forget TO call your atten-
ton to. the new shade called pink
green.% Pink here has reference TO the
flower and not the color. 1t seems that
by artificial means the florists have sue
ceeded In growing pinks of a green
color. They will soon be the rage for
buttonholes. Hyacinths and daffodlls are
to be treated In the same manner, and 1t
will not be long before we shall find 1t
impossible TO recognize these dear old
friends of our youth In their new coats.

two kinds of silk In combination, the

What are we going to do when Lent
comes in? is the question now agitating
the world of fashion. No more dancing,
OF course, but possibly quiet dinner
party. The modish thing, however,
will be the musicale, at which sacred
music will predominant. The toilets
will all be in minor key, il / may so term
1t, toned down, but still discreetly rich.
The fair penitents will look most charm
ing in these Lenten costumes, which
will strive for quaint and picturesque
effects. The old composers, Gluck,
Handel, Haydn, and Mozart, will be in
vogue, and, naturally, one must dress
up to them. The wide berthas of heavy
guipure win look most charming on the
dark velvets, and the MORE antiques
will be In lively demand. 1t is fortunate
that black velvet bows and streamers
are so much used. They will chime with
the Lenten gloom and may be worn with
almost any toilet. They look very CO.
quettish attached to one shoulder, and
then, too, the black satin slippers, now
affected by those who make a study of
the fashions, come in very appropriately
for Lenten purpose, with the additional
advantage that they make the foot look
very small.
Afternoon teas bring out some really
charming little gowns. One in particu-

Gust the Greek from its ng-continued
popularity. At dancing parties, espe-
cially, is this noticeable-there being
manifest tendency to greater ornate
ness and intricacy, and yet it is an easy
matter to vary the classic simplicity
somewhat, and still retain its absolute
grace. For instance, in my second il
lustration you will see pictured very
pretty style of dressing the hair for full
dress. You begin by waving the hair,
using as little heat as possible, so as not
to produce crinkled effect. Then you
gather up the hair and coil il in a
chignon, as represented, curling the ends
and grouping them gracefully. The
usual frizettes go with this style.
In my third illustration present the
back Wow OF "a very dainty little wrap
for use at the opera or at dancing
party or evening reception. 1t may be
made up in lace or embroidered chiffon.
The back is gathered on yoke of pink
feathers and set off with large bow of
pink ribbon in the middle, in which place
you mass the folds and cover them with
two long ribbons springing from the
bow. The fronts are sewed TO the feather
yoke and brought down across the bust
and tied loosely just above the waist
line. They are quite detached from the
garment itself, which barely covers the
arms. This light and gossamer wrap is
OF course more for ornament than prac-
teal use, although you make up the
feather yoke so thick and heavy as to
yield considerable warmth. / merely
suggest the combination of white and
pink, but you may exercise your taste
and ingenuity in devising others.

broad fold over the chest; others were
twisted and the ends drawn through

The latter was called "a Stein

that name In 1892, on which occa-
sion the young French mobiles had no

worn by clergymen were common in
the reign of William III. and in
Queen Anne's time, but temporarily
passed out of fashion in 1875. Soon
after the revolution the cravat re-
covered its popularity and was worn
in the most extravagant manner and
shapes.
The shirt collars rose above the
ears, and the chin and mouth were
buried deep in the cravat, affording
many subject for caricature. 1t

IT is announced by the gentlemen
engaged in the great Coal Trust that
their first effort will be to "equalize
prices" This is term from which
many sermons might be written. 1t
is desirable TO equaliZe prices for
commodities if 1t be done under the
operation Of natural laws. But it
will be difficult to make the probable
victims Of this new trust appreciate
the fact that Il capital OF $400, 900, 900
has been united under a single con-
troll for the purpose OF benefiting
others than those whose capital Is
thus rendered sure Of that natural
return which divine law has privi-
legged it to claim. Reports from the
New York Stock Exchange explain
what are the opinions Of those best
informed as TO the probable action Of
the Coal Trust. Investors were tum-
bling over themselves in their anXi-
ETY. to secure some OF the sock in the
new trust. 1t is apparent that New
Workers understand what meaning
TO attach to the expression "cqualiz-
ing prices. There was good reason
for the rapid advance in the price OF
Reading stock. 1t is an important
factor in the new combination, and
when the manipulators succeed in
eQuallZing prices to their own salts
faction the effect Of their action will
be seen in still further advance in
this favored stock. That there Is
power in the hands Of the CLIQUE in
whose hands this great railroad prop
erty has fallen will be understood by
those who are acquainted with the
personnel of the moneyed class in
New York. The potency OF $780,
00G, 900 is not easily oyercstimated.
Prices will &c equalized and stock
will pay better dividend. Let the
people seek for information as to
their gain in this matter

gathered on the yoke. The bottom of
the pelerine and also of the cloak is
trimmed with an embroidered band, and
the collar and fronts are garnished with
mouffion. You may line 1t either with
yellow or green silk. The pelerine
must be made up in two parts. both

on the shoulder as to hide the seam
with gathers.
