deathbed told an interesting story. He

he should let his secret out, he searched

now living in Mt. Sterling told US few

London and Paris evolve modes that
New York adopts 10 suit American

men and women TO visit every famous

object Is TO confer as to styles for the

and Invariably the New York buyer
compromises between the extremes OF
European fashions. No elegant woman
here would be seen wearing the daring
hats and jaunty Jackets Virot and Du-
Get sell to the genuine Parlslenpe.
Americans possess such subtle sense
OF selection, and are so fastidious con-
corning the harmony OF a mode, that to-
day they are practically the leaders in

London as private work shops to fill

inside clasp. From a deep flaring col

standing bows of velvet back and front,
held together by band OF brilliant Jet

The theater bonnets this winter are
mere sketches OF jet with possible bit
OF color introduced. One of the newest
shapes has a~wide spread glittering
black butterfly resting just above the
brow set upon velvet band with anoth-

tire front OF the waist. as well as the
collar, cuffs and oyerdress, were COM
posed OF squares Of costly Venice lace let
into the silk at regular intervals OF an
Inch and half apart. The price Of tho
costume may be imagined, for not only
was the lace expensive, but the needle
work involved was simply amazing.
This kind OF lace trimming is chiefly
used with velvet, Sc: in at a depth Of
ten or twelve inches about the foot OF
the skirt as zlnores on the bodice, or else
to give deep pointed yoke effect to the
waist. There is no denying its beauty
and smartness.
