PUSHING TRADE IN AMERICA.

Many Tricks Kesorted To by European
Dealers in wines and Liquors.
There is trick in the champagne,
trades, known as pushing" A French
house which caets envious eyes on the
American market has TO ''push" its
wine to get it sold here. The agents
resort to all manner OF expedisnts to
sell their wine. They give prizes to
head bartenders, stewards, etc. They
create q fictitious demand by asking for
certain brand in hotels and restau-
rants where that particular brand lie
not in stock They employ their men
to make the rounds" and do the
Same thing. When they are with
crowd they order their own
brand, pay for it and make
the rest OF the party drink it. Then, OF
course, the next man who orders calls
for the same wine. The pushing" of
wines makes it impossible TO judge OF
the American taste for any one particu-
lar champagne. One brand may be
pushed into demand one year and
allowed to fall from grace the next. I he
idea, according to the New York Tti-
bune, is to spend great deal of money
one wear in getting q wing before the
publ and then to make u large profit
on succeeding years. IL is living on
ones reputation. So that ii the sale OF
few brands increases from year to year
that is not fair estimate from which TO
draw conclusions, and the came holds
true as the sales OF few brands decrease.
But when we take 23 American agents
and compare their sales for twoy ears,
We get good idea of the whole
trade in this country. Outside of
those % houees all other agents in THE
country brought here in 1892 only 1865
cases. Last year 'aIl other agents. i'm
ported 1927. The imports for 1892 of
80 agents and all others we're 350.622
cases, but last year they fell off to
278 $40. This ia decrease of ~, 1902
cases, representing wine which would
cost the consumer over $3,000,000. But
a consumption of 27S,520 cases, most
people will say who have not the tinan-
cial taste for champagne, is very great
deal.

to occasions not properly covered by
either the travelling, shopping or car
risge gown. In its construction the
richest materials may be employed,
while there must be more or less sever
ity OF cut and finish. If velvet is used.
it is better made with great simplicity,
as with coat having full skirts added.

30 her for selection at home, she pene-
:rates the shopping district in the ee-
clusion OF her cab or brougham and is
dressed with absolute simplicity. The
exclusive shopkeepers are adopting the
Partisan methods of sending agents to
the houses of their customers, or those
whose custom they wish to secure, with
samples of novelties, underwear. lace,
accessories, etc. Ii it lie madam's de-
sire to purchase furs, she has only to
signify her wish to her place of supply
and choice for her inspection is sent
to her residence. Many ladies with
trusted maids send orders through them
or depend upon their selection.
This is depression to explain what
sort of street dresses velvet enters into
largely. Nowhere, except on horseback,
does woman's figure and style show to
such advantage as on the street. Gowns
Tor this wear are distinct from those for
travelling or for the carriage. They are
distinct branch of outdoor gown.
Under this general head is included the
street or walking gown, the carriage
dress, more delicate. longer and more
elaborate and intended for the daily
drive, or for calling when the closed
carriage lie used. The travelling gown is
extreme in its severity and the shopping
dress lie almost equally plain Of cut, but
may be made in greater variety Of
colors and materials.
Shopping trips are rare occasions with
the wearer OF the dress in the initial
picture, but she nevertheless called it a
shopping gown. Black velvet was its
material and the panel was moss green
satin embroidered with silk in q
slightly paler shade. The bottom of
the skirt as we'll as the edges that lie
against the panel were embroidered
with jet, as shown. The skirt was lined
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1894-02-04

The travelling dress should always be
plain, of course, and those materials
which show dirt the least are at once
the most sensible and fashionable. A
model which is exceedingly plain and
yetwhich presents an attractively novel
cut OF bodice is shown. The fabric used
is brown wooden cloth and the skirt is
entirely plain. The double breasted
bodice buttons at the right armhole and
its short fronts show the bottom of
chamois waistcoat. The lego mutton
sleeves have wing epaulettes attached,
and epaulettes, bodice fronts. cuffs and
skirt hem are finished with machine
stitching, the only other ornsmentation
about the diees being bit of feather
trimming about the high collar.
Besides these sorts of outdoor gowns
there are dresses for especial occasions.
Skating dresses are designed with an al
most theatric view to effect. Gowns for
wear at exhibitions of outdoor sports
have all the elegance OF the carriage
gown and a suggestion of the skating
gown in the bizarre effects sought. The
church toilet is perhaps a class OF gowns
that should be given place by itself.
IL may display all the elegance of the
calling dress with subdued effect in
color. A pair of stylish walking dresses
are pictured together. One OF them ia
cloth costume with draped shirt show
ing an underskirt of MORE silk and hav-
ing wide revers of the same. The other
includes plain skirt OF colored cloth
and velvet bodice and seeves. The
bodice is trimmed with broad, rever-
like band of fur and iabot OF creamy
lace falls from the throat. II the over
skirt must come; it can assume few
prettier shapes than that OF the first OF
this pair.
English-looking footwear goes with
dresses worn for the street. Shoes OF
this kind lace up the front and are
made of heavy-looking leather without
luatre. though often finished deliberately
with patent leather. Tans and russets
are in perfectly good taste where the
cut is severely English and pointed toes
prevail. II the foot does not permit
them. a sacrifice 10 made in size and the
shoe is fitted so much too long that the
point may safely be added. Indeed, a
manifestly large shoe is regarded good
form for wear on the street and with
shopping aud walking toilets.

ter no outdoor costume ie complete
without coat or wrap of some kind,
and in selecting from the great variety
of styles of these garments, two for the
final picture, care has been taken to get
two which shall possess at once novelty
and beauty. The left-hand one is made
of gray cloth trimmed with MORE an
tique and Persian lamb. Beneath the
fur collarette is round yoke OF jet-em-
broidered MORE antique, finished with
a cape-like frill, also of watered silk
with embroidered edge. The garment
buttons invisibly, and is garnished up
the front and around the bottom
with cord embroidery. The balloon
sleeves have bands OF the same at the
wrist. and the whole is lined with
quilted black satin.
Brown cloth velvet and jet figure in
the other coat, which buttons in front,
where it is little loose, but is tight in
the back. 1t is garnished with girdle.
like arrangement of tulle bands en-
broidered with jet and has Jet en-
broidered velvet yoke, finished with
three velvet friis edged with jet pasee-
menterie. Around the neck there 10 q
full ribbon ruching, and rosette bow
with long ends is placed at the bottom
of the yoke in front. The sleeves are
pulled at the top and are little wider
than usual at the wrist. whore they are
also banded with jet. The skirt part of
the three-quarter coat is very wide and
daring. 1t is lined with apple green
silk.
Coats of light shades of velvet are
worn with dark skirts, much as the silk
waist has long been worn. These coste
are made high-necked and long-sleeved,
and in either Napoleon fashion or in
double-bressted military style. In the
former case the coat has long deep
revers over high yoke or vest. The
silk waist is scarcely less useful than
these pretty velvet coats. With plain
skirt they may be donned for dinner,
and with light skirt or one to match a
perfectly suitable gown for reception or
at home is the result.

skirt clearing the ground and quite
plain. The coat should be double
breasted or made in cossack fashion,
fastening at the side. Cloth may be
combined with fur or leather and may
be shot with elk or in chaDgeable bas-
ket effecte. Silk may be used in COM
bination with fur. A richness in mate
rial not permissible in the shopping
gown and simplicity OF design not re-
quired in the carriage coetume is the
requisite medium. The shopping gown
ia either black, brown or stone color. 1t
may be as plain as you like and mani
feetly designed to avoid conspicuous
modiahness in any way. That you may
not be mistaken for an ordinary person,
however, the rustle of the eilken lining
must be very crisp and the fit absolutely
perfect. There must not be extraor-
binary braiding or finishing in the way
OF trimming.
The matinee gown is variety OF the
street dress, but it need not be either
plain of cut or material. A particular
ly stylish example is to be seen in the
second picture. Made OF blue cloth its
bell skirtis ornamented with three bands
OF marion, q fourth encircles the hips,
the V points of the fur appear back and
front, and collar and cuffs are likewise
trimmed. The front of the skirt is
oddly trimmed with satin ribbon rs
shown.
The carriage gown is OF the richest
materials and it may employ startling
fashion or design of color with perfect
lmpunity. The present season compels
the use of fur in go many cases that the
elegance OF effect is usually made in
the cloak rather than in tie dress. The
carriage gown of the warmer season
may rival the honse gown and the re-
ception toilet for ornate and delicate
effects.

LANGTRY's COMING BOOK.

The Beauty shuns Publishers and Will
Make the Profit Herself
The news that Mrs. Lsngtry is writing
q novel, which comes over the cable
with the regularity OF the recurring sea-
sons, has lost something of it's novelty,
but it is true, nevertheless, says the
New York Sun. The book was begun
nearly four years ago, and several writ
ers of distinction in London have tink-
cred at it in one way or another. At
first Mrs. Langtry decided to have a
secretary and dictate her memories to
him, but after several unsuccessful
trials she gave this plan up, and when
che returned to London she tried the
scheme of giving her general ideas to
writer and having him clothe them in
attractive English. She selected jour
nalist who has made something Of a
reputation as a smart and attractive
writer on society weeklles, but after he
had finished about one-third OF the
book she became 80 thoroughly disBatis-
fed with it that che burned it up, after
reading extracts to q number OF friends
at a dinner party. Then she started on
the work of writing 1t herself, and this,
as often happens with people who have
led active and more or less adventurous
lives, became q passion with her. Ed
mund Yates was called in from time to
time in consultation and Mrs. Langtry
frequently read extracts and anec-
dotes from it to her friends.
Sometimes she puts the manuscript
away and does not touch 1t
for months. Again she will write indus
triously for several weeks upon the
work. Nearly all the London publish
ers have attempted to get hold Of the
book, but they were necessarily fore
doomed TO failure. If there is any money
in the work Mrs. Langtry will get it.
There is no doubt of that. She win pub
lish, circulate and advertise the volume
herself, and when the receipts come in
there will be no division of the profits.
1t has never been the Lily's habit to
divide any of the money that falls in
her direction.

REUNION OF OOLoRED REGIMENTS.

The Twenty ninth and Thirtieth Infantry
 to Meet in This City August 31.
 A committee representing the Twen- ty-ninth and Thirtieth Infantry regi- ments have been in Danbury having in view a reunion of these organizations. Owing to the scarcity of members in any one locality they, unlike the other regiments of the state have held but few of these memorable gatherings. As Danbury contributed about twenty men to these two regiments and the nearby towns as many more, the de- sire has always been expressed to hold a reunion there. The Danbury News says: E.
 .'This committee after confering with the Rev. MT. Hopkins. who kindly of- fered them the. use of the room in which he holds services for the place of meeting, went away we'll pleased with the object of their visit, and have an- nounced the date of the reunion as August 3l. ,I. +7.5T \
 James E. Moore post, No. IS, and the W. R. C., No. 21, has taken hold of the matter and on last Monday evening voted to assist the above regiments and do all in their power to make their visit memorable. and pleasant one.
 A committee consisting of Samuel A. Main, Captain B. E. Wildman. George L. Smith, William H. Brooks, George H. Swords and Henry N. Fanton were appointed to confer with the officers of the association and assure them that a kind and cordial welcome will be ex- tended them. It will be remembered that the Twenty-ninth and the four companies of the Thirtieth regiment were recruited early in this state, and that their record for bravery and gal. lantry of service was the peer of any of the organizations of Connecticut.
 The field, staff and line officers were nearly all taken from the veteran regi. ments. and the many engagements at the front, with the success attained proved that these selections were o1 the right men in, the right place. Will liam B. Wooster, colonel of the Twen- tieth regiment, was 'appointed colonel with David Torrance of the Eighteenth C. Vas Hext in comand. The lat ters brave and, courtlE 0nieer Il now
