Up 10 E0te and Stylish World Without

Low and lower fall the frills, the dufilness
that this good two years past have cumber-
ed and burdened the shoulders Of woman
kind. That Is upon their outside garments
as part and parcel of the same. The COL
lar. the collarette, the standing neck frill
are more than ever in vogue but as sepa-
rate and often contrasting adjuncts to the
toilet. The very newest coats and wraps
have collars standing high about the ears
and rising out of shoulder trimming shaped
accurately to the form of the garment. AS
for instance in this fetching garment. which
Is made in faced cloth of whatever color
suits the wearers eye or complexion. A
lair maid will have blue or dove gray, with
a collar of lighter free to set of her fair
ness and the blue of her sweet eyes. A rosy
one has hunters green or myrtle or olive.

All and several they are pictures good to

whose style Is between any of these radiant
types beware how she puts herself into
such garment. Its severe and stately
style becomes her not-no matter how care
rully she may choose. nor what color har-
monies she may evolve. The dumpy wo-

Two Dresses for House or Lawn.

| At the right in the fourth sketch there Is
a costume made Of pale green gingham and
| trimmed with black lace. Its bell skirt Is
unlined and garnished at the hem with a
seven-inch founce Of lace. with two bands
! Of insertion. The waists yoke Is alike
back and front. and is ornamented with
insertion. The sleeves have an eiaSuc AT
| the bottom, enabling the wearer 10 length
| en- or shorten them at will The seated
| figure in the same picture displays a tohet
| in mode colored beige. Its skirt Is three
| and a half yards WIDE satin lined and Is
| trimme1 with double bias folds OF the same
| material, attached to the skirt py tne up
| per edge. The bodice has vest fronts OF
white or pink pique, hooking in the center
| and ornamental with two rows OK tihy
gold buttons. They turn back at the neck
and form narrow reverS. Inc jacket ironts
| also form revers that continue over the
shoulders and around the back in the shape
of sailor collar.
Detail of insertion, tiny tucks and frills
will. with the coming OF cold weather
"strike in" All summer il has constituted
the favorite elaboration OF gowns; now IL
will make lingerie dreams for any one VINO
gets a look at them and nightmares ior the
Iaundresses. Hand sewing Is demanded Tor
all this sort of thing. and the wages OF the
French maid are rising. We begin TO real
lie how deficient the present generation Is
| in needle-work experiences. Those compe-
tent to turn out such work are doing
rushing business. The charges are far
from small and the work Is done slowly,
but what does miladi care. for either OF
those considerations. She says that ma
chine stitches hurt her now. and she can
not rest well in any but handmade

Before you express yourself too vtsor-
ously against the threatened chignon con-
slider few OF it's features. There are two
motives admissible IN the dressing OF hair.
One, and perhaps the most artistic. Is that
which considers the hair as an adjunct to
the face, figure and head. and which sug-
gests an arrangement in harmony with
| these features and calculated to empha
| size their good points. This view Of things
requires the sacrifice of the hair in its own
intrinsic value as thing Of beauty. Masses
| of hair too great to permit of arrangement
| whose grace may be subordinated TO the
beauty of the head or face. are cut down
| to more easily adjusted proportions. The
/ hair about the face and ears is cut with
reference to the lines of the face and neck.
All this is well. The other motive adnis =
, sible ia hair dressing is display of the
| hair itself. of its generous quantity, its
| color and quality. This the chignon effect
| accomplishes. Proportions of face and neck
are sacrificed to an exposition of shining
| rolls of sleek tresses. Smooth braids and
puffs attest that the shears have never in
| terfered with gracious growth. An entire
covering of the back Of the head. and great
| depth through from the head line to the
circumference of the couture, attests lux
urious quantities Of tress. plain face

THEY DO FALL AS A LEAF,
The Sleeves and Shoulder Frills WheI
Beauty Gets New Gowns.


With the fall Of the leaf the shoulder
seam likewise falls lower and lower upon
fashionable arms. Soon. indeed. 1t will be
impossible to put the elbows back Of the
head without doing violence to that where
withal we are clothed. A mighty pity, too,
since few of fashions vagaries SO conducive
to health. comfort and q certain pretty air
Of smartness as the short shoulder with
the sleeve standing perkily above 1t. There
was distinction in the mode for all but the
hopelessly undistinguished possible better
ment, too. for her to whom nature had been
unkind. The trim woman Of yesterday re-
called in outline springing shaft with
slightly broadened pediment and capital OF
pretty furbelows. The woman of today is
like unto a big upward sloping squash with
an apple set above 1t and topped off with a
smallish potato. For as the sleeve. the fril
fall. they find a Judgment at the elbow line
which is now the region Of greatest dis
tinction. Pretty soon it must reach the
wrist-then look out for the elephant ear
sleeve and undersleeve wherein our grand
mothers disported themselves when they
meant to be particularly fine.
Already the big puffs end in a frill below
the elbow-all the rest Is a mere cufr-if

thing the flip must be more or less premedi-
tated and conscious. while the other effect
the girl need know nothing about. A skirt
OF a dull brown is thus faced with soft old
rose. and worn with an old rose shirt waist.
Or. more brave in effect. the shirt waist
may be soft blue and the CLINT Of rose at the
foot Of the gown may be like the flowers
that bloom in the spring. and have nothing
to do particularly with any other color ef-

An elegant example OF fashionable flare
attained both at skirt hem and shoulders
IS that portrayed In the initial picture.
This costume is made OF green faille and
has the skirt in two parts. lined through
out with silk. The lining Of the waist Is
tight. over which the silk Is draped and
folded as shown. The yoke-like top is out
lined with ecru lace insertion. back and
front being alike. The bretelles end in a
point In front and are edged with lace that
crosses In front. The standing collar Is Of
ecru lace. and the pulled sleeves are gar
nished with lace insertion. A jet girdle
ornamented with three rows of large Jet
buttons Is worn.

THAT LITTLE FRENCH BABY,
WRITTEN FOB THE EVENING STAR BY
JOHN STRANGE WINTER
Copyright, 1898, BY the author.)

Two and twenty years ago a great war
was raging between the countries Of
France and Germany. Which was right
and which was wrong? Well. don't think
know. I don't think anybody knows
exactly the right and the wrong Of any
war. That has nothing to do with our
story. which only concerns a dear little
boy baby. who was the only child Of q
French officer.
He was not altogether a French baby, for
he had an English mother, but he had been
born in a beautiful old chateau not very far
from Metz. the capital city Of sunny Lor-
raine.
When the war began hopes ran very high
In the old chateau on the banks Of the beau
dful Moselle river. for the gallant French
army was on its way to Berlin, and ell was
to be glory and victory; and. If any of its
men were killed In the fight, or died on the
way of illness or exhaustion. why. that
would be very bad for the wives and child
rem waiting at home. but. Of course. It was
the fortune Of war that all did not share in
the glory. and the sorrows of the few must
not be counted against the gain Of the
many.
That was how many. nay. most Of the
people round about the city of Metz argued
during those early days: and the lady Of the
chateau. an Englishwoman and very
brave one. was to be seen every day walk
Ing beside her boys little carriage. or driv-
ing in her own pretty Victoria, with her
baby and his English nurse beside her.
with a bright smile ON her face and brave
words on her lips; yet IN her own heart
there was always an awful dread. like q
lump of lead. q fear that all these thous-
ands Of men had been sent out to battle
with scarce o shoe to their feet, or any
provisions for them such as they ought to
also very tender one. and it ached. oh. 30
sadly, for every poor mother who mourned
for q lost son, for every wife who learned
that the husband she loved and the father
Of her children would never come marching
home again, never any more
Day after day she went to try and COM
fort some poor soul in the district, whose
anxious fears had come to the worst end,
and all the time her own heart was trem-
bling and sick with the horrible dread that
her own brave and gallant husband would
be the next to father dear, dear love,
Andre Forester who had won her heart
years ago. and had brought her away from
her English home to be the mistress Of the
beautiful old chateau on the banks Of the
Moselle.
And after a while the times changed
alas! how soon it Is sad to tell. The VIC
torious Prussian army-well trained, well
led. well provided-soon, and but all too
easily. beat the French forces back upon
their own ground. and then set themselves
to surround and destroy the fair city Of
Metz IL they could.
It was then that Madame Forrestier's

Cheesebro had harpooned a big fish on
Montauk Point. and.a waiting the usual

vessel As soon as Cheesebro approached
him and commenced hauling in the line. the
fish awoke from his torpor and started IN

His plight was seen from the schooner

conflict BY constant bailing. Cheesebro

characteristics Of the Frontier Des>
peradoes Who Held Life Cheap.


From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The wonder grows whence sprang these
men, who. with pistols on both hips 80
knives In their belts. were eager for some
fray, and when no one could be found 20
accommodate them picked q quarrel snd
then killed their fellow-man.
The peculiar dangers that attend the pur.
suit OF gold seem to bring out. in enormous
degrees. all the latent viciousness In man,
and the interest is. where did such men
hide themselves when In more peaceful
parts. or did the mere sight OF the pre-
cious metal or the Unsuitable greed TO OBJ

Bengal tiger would be sociable and almost
