HUNTING THE cHAMoIs.

An Animal That Is Very Keen-Scented and
Wary.
Speaking generally, / am inclined to
think that the chamois is not the pre-
ternaturally wary beast he is usually
represented to be. Of his comparative
Indifference to noises, as long as they
are not too loud, have already spoken.
Nor, in my opinion, is his eyesight any
thing remarkable. Judging from his
failure to distinguish objects, such as
mans head or hand, as long as they
are motionless, should say that the
organs of vision Of chamois are scarcely
more acute than those of human beings.
On the other hand, their sense of smell
is quite extraordinary; hence the wind
is by far the worst enemy of the hunter.
The shifting eddies and currents, blow
ing now this way, now that, now up
hill, now down, multiply tenfold the
chances in favor of the game.
/ have often asked friends of mine
who have hunted in various countries
as to the distance at which deer and
other wild animals can scent human
being, and most of them seem to be
agreed that they will wind you more
than mile off. I have certainly seen
chamois over half mile distant make
off in alarm when they could not posi-
bly, have seen anything to disturb them.
1t is curious, too, how much more the
hunters odor seems to terrify them
than the mere sight of him. In the
latter case, unless you are quite close.

turning round every few hundred yards

and cuffs with billiard chalk, and the

becoming it is Next to that come the
drapcd collars. These soften the hardest
outlines and old and young ought to thank
the inventor of the plan.
Now that we have the opera, and that
snow has fallen at LenoX, we are begin
ming to see some of the new gowns that
were only shown before in secret, and too
hurriedly to take note of their full beauty.
In one box the first night there came for
ward lady who seemed to have stepped
out of some one of Reynolds portraits,
She had a gown of gray and rose pink
brOcade, the "petticoat" being stiff rs
pastehoard and trimmed around the bot
tom with a band of fluffy gray fur. The
waist was pointed deeply and trimmed
with silver galloon, and the sleeves were
of white satin slashed in diamond pat
tern and in each diamond there was q
puff of the hrocade which showed one
flower of the pattern. Silver cord was
crisscrossod all over the sleeves like a
mesh. Over the whole dress there was a
sort of watteaulike train, but it was gath
cred back under the arms on the hips, and
from there fell in the back to the bottom
of the skirt This was of striped MORE
white and pink, and it was lined with
pink satin and bordored with the same
kind of fur. The waist and this train
were both cut quito low. 1t was greatly
admired. The lady Wore when she came
in awhile wool cape reaching to the knees,
lined with pink brocade and having an
upper cape made of pink silk overlaid
with point de venise and bordered with
ermine sewed directly on the edge of the
collar, the cape tied with massive silver
cord and tassels quite as large as curtain
tassels
There was another dress which called
forth murmurs of admiration. 1t was
of pale blue striped silk tissue made
with baby waist. The sleeves were bal
loon, or recanier puffs, as they are now
called and the skirt was very full aud
gathered i'm at the belt and simply hem
med around the bottom. Under this there
was a blue silk slip, and at the bottom
there was a deep tlounce of white beaded
lace, the beads showing with softened
CLEAN. There were six white cocarde ro-

Jying to provide their wives with 1871
Cowns there was sudden reaction in IA
vor of very scanty skirts and, VOLTA, the
"eelskin." These dresses were made so
very narrow that If there had been fire
or mad dog after one of the fair wearers
she could not have run ten steps to save
| her life. The eclskin style reached to
about 1884, when bustles came in. OF all
the fashions since tho classic yard of cali
90 none has been so untrue to nature and
art as the hustle.
Today we have the upper part of the
F'srts snug, the lower flaring, and in the
| Lack the godet plaits are stuffed with
| horsehair to make them hold out round.
The sleeves are large and loose at the top,
chcre such fullnCss not only looks best
but is best foy comfort and health. The
waists are neither long nor short, and that
IS hest for health, and also for beauty and
grace We can have the long sweeping
! lines of the princess or the short crisp
ones of 1880. In fact, we have culled out
the best of all the modes and have joined
them in II general style that is nearer true
perfection than has ever been before.
The bonnet of today in all its ramifca-
tions and varieties should be kept about as
it is for it is now pleasing and becoming
]
rurs of other days. There are now fets in
dozens of qualities and colors and hun
drods Of forms. Yesterday l saw brown
felt crowns with brown straw turned up
brims, felts with opcnwork brims, Others
where the felt had been cut into strips and
braided in fancy patterns and beaver
brims with felt crowns-in short, such a
variety as would give every woman in the
world her choice
The list of trimmings available for the
headwear of today would cover a page.
Nothing is out Of place from feather out
of the old gobbler's tail to gold and dia-
monds, from tiny birds and sweeping
plumes to a skunk's head. Everything
goes, but the bluct goes oftener than any
thing else just now in velvet, in flowers
and in ribbons. It's pretty shade and is
snowy without being vulgar, and it lights
up plain costume wonderfully.
A milliner told me that bit of scarlet
cardinal or ruby on the front of bonnet
would lend color to a pale face, but that
same color worn below the face would
make it appear pallid. The more l learn
of the lore of modistcs and drcssmakers
the more l respect their painstaking re-
search. Blue worn above blue eyes en-
hanccs their loneliness, and those whose
eyes are brown look best with chestnut OF
mordorc trimmings to the hat or bonnet.
Those with black eyes will do well to wear
reds and yellows. Only a perfect com
pleXion can wear green above the face, and
10 woman who values her reputation for
beauty can afford to wear anything bu
black or white next her chin. There are a
