calculation is always essential in order
that loss in one region may be met
by gains in another, thus employing
skillful strategy when the contestants
are evenly matched. The game has

while her brother has the absolute
right to avoid dull women. She must
wait for partner in the dance, while
her brother may seek one. She must
smile on old Stumbleover and accept
his moist hand for the dance. although
she knows that bruised ankles will be
the swift penalty. A woman equally
clumsy, old and unattractive, has the
right to put herself in bold relief
against the wall, as part of its human
dado. Why should not Stumbleoyer
take his place beside her? Also, as if
life were mere cotillion-must our

Classic Architecture at the Fair.

The Fine Arts building is pure type
of the most refined classic architecture.
The structure comprises three large
pavilions, its total length, east and
west, being 1,120 feet, and it's extreme
width, north and south, 500 feet. At
the intersection of the central and
east and west pavilions is a dome co

"horse hair tissue" Also there are iris

stripes" All these relate to new wooden or
silk and wooden goods for winter dress
Among the new materials for cloaks
noticed heavy broadcloth, kerseys. beaver,
corduroy, astrakhan aud heavy cheviot.
These are for ordinary wear. For evening
there was one piece of exquisite goods. 1t
was pearl gray and white wool brocade,
Nnd it was woven so that the white hairs
stuck out in such manner as to overshad-
ow the gray. 1t was to be made in wraps
for balls, opera, etc, and to be lined as the
wearer preferred, with fur. satin or oriental
striped silk.
The brocaded wool in black is an elegant
material for handsome coats or wraps A
suit recently sent from Paris had the skirt
of the finest silk warp henriette, the back
laid in deep plaits and the front covered
with heavy courtauld Grape. The coat was

front. The wide lapels were covered with

The goods used in making women's coats
is not much lighter than that for those of
gentlemen with the exception of chinchilla.
| have seen many capes made of beaver and
pilot cloth, and also the thick plalds that
some men affect. The cheviots for mems
coats and trousers are very little thicker
than those fabrics for women. Mems coats
are being cut much longer than they have
been, and the large incroyable revers and
/ lapels are seen to a marked degree on mems
/ frock coats and overcoats, Getaways for
gentlemen look to the uninitiated eye just
as they always did, but the tailor says they
are several inches longer.
And how are all these new goods to be
madeT A pretty style for plaid-and one
I quite novels to have the skirt quite plain,
eigot sleeves and n vest jacket corsage
hanging loosely over belt of cherry vel
vet. This style of vest is cut slightly dou-
BILE breasted and has three pockets. The
wide Loie Fuller collar has a second one
which is smpy sprung and has still
another with revers of white billiard cloth
edged with band of persian embroidery.
There is white chemisette front and
mans collar and tie.
The cloth gowns and fine cheviots and
solid colored materials would look well
made up with skirt of the same or a very
artistically contrasted color. The skirt is
plain, and the front of the waist should be
like it, The overdress reaches to the bot
tom and forms a part of the skirt in the
back. There is basque effect quite deep,
and this with the cuffs and lapels, gives the
costume a distinction and grace that no one
would do i'll to follow. All the edges of the
over portion are outlined with fine embroid-

cry, though in following this model that
could he left off, and plain stitching or mar
row braid cnuld be substituted. The skirt
basque effect is quite new, but has immedi
ately found favor.
Basques, when not cut on the gown or
waist, are often simulated by sewing a ruff
fe puff or turret points around the bot
tom of the waist. Some of these portions
of the waist are sprung" which means
that they are cut out nearly in circle and
the outer edges left to fall into whatever
shape they will Sometimes the waist will
have breteies of velvet or plush, and this
frill, or hatever else it may be, is of the
same material.
One model had double bretelles of bias
velvet green shot with crimson, and the
belt and basque skirt of the same all Dor
dered with fur This went with a dress of
fine gray cheviot The skirt had two or
three wrinkles thrown forward. Around
the bottom was wide band OF the shot
ted" velvet with three narrow rows of fur
trimming To my mind brown trim
ming would have been more genteel. There
was short cape to match this, with bias
band of the velvet set up about three inches
from the edge, and the fur binding was
placed on the lower edge. 1t was stylish
done so Il year ago, when queter coors were
worn
A rich and elegant manner in which to
make up the cordurettes and the two toned
velours would be to have, say for rush and
sage green mixed velours,a plain seven gored
kkirt, with q wide band OF duh indigo blue
broadcloth, the top cut down in scallops,
edged with narrow black soutache, set on in
line loops all around the skirt The basque

all around, and cut up in sashes at every
seam. A little fine brading on the slashes
would add to it. 1t is TO close in front with
/ narrow braid and small silk buttons-mili-
tary style. The upper sleeves are to be set
! in two pulls of the velOurs and the fore
arms of cloth. This is an elegant model,

hide its defects with revers, ruffles or some

lie Has D1StinSulsneu ItlmSelI In the MIL
itary and Diplomatic Service.
The appointment of Sir Henry Wylie
Norman to be viceroy of India seems to
have taken the political world of England
by surprise. 1t was unexpected and in
many respects at variance with presidents
and the UNIV tten laws that have generally
prevailed. = re custom has been to appoint
only civilians to the place. India is of
course largely held by military domination,
but it has not been deemed polite to empha-
size that fact by making soldier viceroy.
Service under the government in India has
also generally been considered grave dis
qualification, the theory being that the
viceroy should not be IA man of local or pro
vincial views, but one who will govern in
the interest of the whole empire and not
alone of India itself.
Both these theories have been violated by
Sir Henry's appointment. He is a soldier,
and the greater part of his military service
has been rendered in India, besides which
he was for many years government Off
cial there. Sir l1enry's experience of five
years as governor of Jamaica and nearly
fvSyears a. governor of Queensland, sup
plemented by his intimate knowledge OF
Indian affairs, ought certainly to ha CON
