ana then iot ont the gas 30 that they
fall In heavy, loose wrinkles. They
have shortened tho tails OF tho coat, but
have widened them No that they. reach
clear around. They have adopted the
hat, and that they adorn vicariously
with any and everything, bnt 1t Is the
incroyable always, and pretty, pert
hnd becoming it Is too. The niagpie
stripes In pandusoy are things OF the
present, and IN fact there arc dozen
moro points Of resemblance.
In some Of the grandest places where
the society Ia composed OF mono but
those who hoard blue blood, there has
been decided movement toward the
Mervcilleuse costuming. This is just q
trifle moro scanty and dinphanous than
tho first empire, but / fear that it will
be a success. Semie..assical gowns arc
also seen at receptions, and in fact one
grand modiste told mo that she had
never known opinions to differ 80 de-
cidedly, and that nearly every one of
tho best modistes had adopted and
evolved a separate style from some his-I
torical period or other This accounts
for tho wide divergence, and in theI
meantime ladies can study up old Coz.
tunes and give their costumers hints;
which will scarcely be wrong in thisI
transition stage.
Tunics Of various shapes are seen on|
many skirts, sometimes draped, but Of
ten slashed, or simply lifted very slight
ly on the sides, or on one side, to show
= different underskirt. Some, and in
deed quite number, have sort of pep-
lum tunic. or overskirt of contrasting
color or material, and this has quite q
classic appearance.
- The empire modes are, think, like
ly to gain the popular favor, though
modern requirements make some
changes necessary, particularly in the
cut Of the corsage. Still, there is no
saying more than that there are at least
seven distinct epochs in history repre-
sented in the fashions Of the day.
! must not close without saying that
the all black costume has now become the
best style, and some Of the most elegant
toilets have not one shred Of color
upon them. Silks, velvets, satin, moire
and woolens are employed singly or all
in one, and ornamented with jet or silk
braid. Damask in pure ivory white is
used for ceremonious dress or for
brides. When brides wear it, it is trim
med with festooned fiounces or puffings
Of tulle, held with orange blossoms
or in some cases with white orchids.
For cerelnonious dress there is a de-
cided tendency toward the Louis XIV
shape and general style. One superb
bridesmaids dress was of pearl white
brocade with festoons of Loie Fuller
gauze around the bottom. There were
white satin coat and vest worked with
silver lace, and a white velvet tricorne
hat with Grape rosettes. The effect was
wonderfully pretty and chic. There
will be more of those later.

When the New Year Begins.

Among the Latin Christian countries
there were seven different dates for begin
ming the new year. March /, Jan. /, Dec.
Is, March 25, used in two ways-frst. by
beginning the year nine months sooner than
at present; second, by beginning it three
months later-at Easter and on the feast of
the Ascension. The usage of the same coun-
try has varied at different times. In France
under the Merovingians the year began on
March l. The Cerloyingians began their
year on Dec. 25, and the Capetias at Easter.
The Romans, till Casar's time, began the
yearspn March |, and an illustration of the
reluctance to change names is seen in the
fact that, although the names September,
October, November and December original
ly denoted the number of the months, they
are now grossly inapplicable. The Egyp-
tians, Chaldeans, Persians, Syrians, Ph9ni-
clans anti Carthaginians began their year
in the siltumn, as did the Jews their civil
year.-Montreal Star.

work. A hemstitched ruffle makes a
nice finish, or the edges may be button

Mrs. Fritz Foitz Is q queeniy woman,
whose beautiful face, softly enfraIned
In the silver floss of her lovely hair, be-
speaks an intellectual power that delves
into the very depths Of any scientific
subject. Whist is ono Of her favorite
studies. Hence 1t has received, for
several years, her most thoughtful at
tantian. At the present writing this
gentlest and faircst of society's queens
stands without peer in tho scientific
Interpretation OF tho game OF whist.
She has assiduously followed tho evolu-
tions ct its principles from the univer-
sally admired authorities Pole, Clay
and General Drayson---to Trist and Pet
tes Of more modern date, and now gives
her approval to the so called American
whist. taking Cavendish's 8 latest edition
as authority
There are many other Chicago society
ladies' who are daintily climbing tho
rugged road to fame in the interpreta-
tion Of the fascinating game. Mrs. Clin-
ton Locke, whose wonderously wise
methods for bringing good cheer to the
fireside Of tho poor and comfort to the
weary hearted are we'll known, has be-
come interested in the study of the
game, as discipline and balance to her
overworked brain, In organizing and
directing tho many charitable societies
connected with the Grace Episcopal
church, Of which her husband has so
many years been the beloved pastor.
She has been heard to say that people
are uninteresting to her unless there is
demonstration Of some achievement in
their life. Her life is a practical illus
tration that great things are possible
against bitter odds-her achievements
are many.
Miss Florence Pullman is another
student, and one that bids fair to stake
honorable claims within the ranks Of
brilliant whist players. Beneath her
placid, velvety countenance there turks
depth Of understanding and quick
perception suited to whist mind. Her
ready capability is manifest in the ever
shifting lights Of her dreamy dark eyes.
Another worshiper at the shrine Of
tho much appreciated game is Mrs. Gill
man Smith, one of Chicago's most
charming society leaders. Her overflow
Of characteristic wit and fun is not
daunted by the seriousness of even sci
entific whist, but nevertheless she is
enchanted with its study and has the
highest appreciation Of its worth.
Some OF the finest whist players Of
the country now feel that they must
look to their laurels, as tho ladies are
fast becoming formidable competitors
in the game and bid fair to d1vesting
the gentlemen of their victories, or, at
least, compelling them to share their
honors. Though it is evident that there
are more male than female whist clubs
in the country, some of the latter are
very unique in their way. One which
takes the lead in this respect, though not
very old is known as the "Sarah Battle
Whist club" Of New Albany, Ind, and
if the whist capacity of the ladies is
equal to their wits they must be de-
lightful partners as we'll as dangerous
opponents. The above mentioned club
has adopted the following code, which
is very suggestive one, and is warn
ing to the sterner sex in the same field
to guard their honors carefully if they
still wish to carry off the palm, as they

the incroyable, the first empire, the
Vatican and even tho Medicis. Every
one has soino delicate touch, sort of
lingering perfume of the old mingling
with the new and making up something
as elusive as dainty. It takes French
women to give these quaint old styles
q grace and piquancy that blinds the
eye to any liberties taken with histor-
ical styles.
I hardly know how to show to show
my dear home readers what these very
newest of the new things look, since the
French like to take the cream off a
fashion before they will let foreigners
have it, except by few of the old
styles they are trying with such sue
cess to copy or adapt. There is the
famous Watteau costume. You will
find numbers of it's almost exact copies
this season, and how dainty and pretty!
The new Vatican has gigot sleeves
and ripple collars, but the pannier is
there and the plait, and the petticoat
is just as much ruffled and bowed as it
used to be. Those that are made for
evening or receptions are cut out in
the neck, but sometimes this is only
simulated by piece of flesh colored
silk. The hat does not change, nor the
fan, and the patch is set where it will
enhance the wearer's beauty to the
greatest degree. The back portion of
the dress is Of rich brocade, and the col
ors and patterns of those days have been
exactly initiated.
But Vatican does not suit all and
there are some who want the panniers
without the plait, and they want in
stead of the round little waist of the
dainty Vatican, stiff long corsage
that seems more royal and queenly.
Such have the Marie Antoinette fash
ions brought down to date. They may
change the shape Of the sleeve and have
the ruffles and puffs on top, and they
may reduce the pannier to more reason
able dimensions.
Some ladies have appeared in powder
ed hair at the opera and at various even
ing gatherings. This is an extremely
becoming fashion for all women. Tall
ones look stately and small ones like
exquisite little Dresden figures. But
the stiff waist gives an awkward look
to the gown.
On the streets we see costumes which
bear SO great family resemblance to
the old STYLES that we smile in dreamy

ment and game Of deep interest, in
which they have a chance to display
their higher mental powers, and to
force the lords of creation to acknowl-
edge their mental equality at least;
hence they are taking lively interest
in it.
The organization Of the Whist league
and the interest taken in it by the gen.
tier sex have been followed by tho birth
Of new profession, that Of whist
teaching, as the fact is recognized that
there are few tortnres as unbearable
as those inflicted upon good player
who is compelled to devote his entire
evening to game with poor oppo-
nent or poor partner. The employment
of competent teachers is the chief pre-
ventlon of this cruelty, and we are
pleased to see that it works like
charm. Professional whist teachers
may now be found in all our principle
cities, whose classes are large and con-
tinually growing. Society people are
beginning to understand the torture Of
playing whist without knowing how.
of the professional whist teachers are
women, one Of the most noted being
Mrs. NJ. S. jerks of Chicago. She is
not only teacher of the game, but also
the M. S. j. who SO ably conducted
whist column in the Chicago Inter
Ocean, succeeding to the whist editor
ship on the death of Mr.. G. w. Pettes of
Boston. Her good natured tilts with j.
T. Mitchell and several authorities on
whist reused much curiosity as to her
identity, mono for moment supposing
that it was any other than one of the
sterner sex.
In her early womanhood she removed
to Philadelphia and soon after mar
ried. She became well known in the
best social and higher whist circles in
the Quaker City. She removed to Chi
cago, where she founded whist school.
Here she is visited by whist students
from far and near. and many of the
