An Unrecorded Incident of the Battle 81

The battle was fought on May 81,
1864, and was brought on by move

turn the right of the confederates and
take their position in reverse.

THE WOMAN OF FASHION.
Merges All Of Her Individuality
 Into the Home Gown.
The Simple Morning Robes and Afternoon Tea Gowns-The Richer One for De- butante Teas-FancIfui Tea Growns-
 Some Grape Ones Described.
lcoPYRIGHr. iso4.l

How early Fashion declared herself this season. Here it is only a week after the horse show, and everybody knows what the winter styles are like ly to be. The event which is supposed to usher in the seasons styles was be- hindhand, for some reason, this year, for somehow there were no surprises in the way of costuming to be found at it. We were all prepared for Paquin skirts and jet bodices and velvet sleeves and pearl trimmings and real laccs. We knew just how they would be dis posed in the costume, just where the fur band ought to go, just how the puffs should droop, and the exact cut of the revere. So no one enjoyed the great show quite so much as usual. Truth to tell, all this magnifcence is telling upon us. We have reached the limit of admiration; and epithcts and exclamations grow so wearisome. It is tiresome to be in a constantly ecstatic stute over the beauty of gown or bonnet Even the shop windows are overdoing their displays. It is con stant panorama of mGgnifcence, so constant that one is satiated with it all, and becomes indifferent to all of it. How far off is the reaction? When will the reign of simplicity be ushered in?
 No wonder lovely woman heayes great sigh of relief when she comes in from busy social afternoon, slips off that heavy, jetted satin gown, and takes out the simplest and loosest of wrappers. How she revels in that light, warm cider down. or cashmere, or fianncl-whatever it may be. For just few minutes she lies still in the great chair, with every nerve relaxed, and eyes closed. Then comes the hate full task of another elaborate toilet. Thank heavenl some of us have more time for wrappers and home gowns than that It is the gown that worn- an loves before everything else. When she gets into it, she is no longer the "advanced" woman with rights but only an unobtrusivc. attractive female, resting in her pretty sitting-room, with those graceful folds lying all about her, and with a calm and sweet content in her face. When you see her thus, you wish there were no such things as platforms and clubs, where grave matters regarding woman's well

of the bright velvet and, the whole thing Is as bright and graceful and delicate as one could ask.
 Another of these light creations is in even thinner cream crepe, touched with pink and blue lines at wide inter vals, and with half-inch stripe of the blue once in awhile. The rib of the crepe is very large. This is lined with thin white silk. It is made simply, with the back laid in folds that point in at the belt, and with the point out lined by ruffle of fine lace, and fin- ished at the belt by short, crush loops of blue ribbon. The lace is brought up over the shoulders and down the front each side of a loose surplice ef- feet. The surplice is male of three fine ruffies of the crepe, that are doubled so that the blue stripe forms an edging for each. There, too, blue ribbon is tied and falls in streamers to the feet.
 A pink cashmere can be made at home, so easy is it. and yet it is very effective. This one has a Watteau. 8 modest one, and round collar in the back of the pink. Its edge is laid with narrow, fat guipure, in a pretty edge, and just inside, separated only by a band of black nloire ribbon, lies inser- tion to correspond. Both lace and in- sertion lie partly over the back, bring ing out the design more clearly. The stock collar of black velvet has it's base covered with tie edging. In front, in place of the deep collar, lie two long Vandykcs of the cashmere, each formed of two points-a short one in-- side the long one that reaches to the waist. Each of the four points is trimmed with the insertion and edge, with the black moire laid between. Broad moire ribbon, starting beneath the Vatican, ties in front in a long bow.
 After the delicate gown comes the magnificent one, which my lacy dons for an elaborate afternoon tea. One of these, a debutante tea, takes place in few days. The matron who intro- duces her only daughter Is still young, and will wear gown of delicate mauve brocade, which falls in rich folds straight from the neck and spreads in- to train at the back. It is sur mounted by collar of pervenche-the new purple-velvet covered with rare lace. A small, round yoke of the same lies just below. Out of the yoke drop pendants of the lace, being over the brocade. A full mauve sleeve is caught up in the queer outings, is finished by velvet cuff, lace-trimmed, and topped by a velvet epaulette, overlaid with the lace pendants. At this tea the fair debutante will have no less than fifteen young maidens to assist her receive, all of whom will be clad in simple

fare require discussion. You would like her to stay right there and com fort you with her brightness and sim pie talk.
 You like her in simple wrapper; but find her even more attractive in a pretty tea gown. The creator of the tea gown was surely inspired. We may touch it with fashion, we may add ex- travagant trimmings, it may savor of one's individuality, or 1t may be quite plain. If you have q pet fancy in the way of drapes or lace arrangements, you may bring it out in your tea gown. Nothing is freer from the decrees of fashion, although still conforming to them in vague, general way.
 For the modest gown crepe and crepon are still the materials-crepe, in both cotton and wool, crepe, in soft, silky folds and very gauzy; so thin, in- deed, that it is generally lined with silk of a corresponding or brightly contrasting shade.
 Perhaps the very prettiest of crepe gowns that has been worn so far this season is of delicate gray tint, lined throughout with bright cerise silk. If you were pOlNi to pCCp ''ShcdUu the gown, you would see that the cerise was finished with deep plaited flouncing, that made the gray stand out The foot of the gray was trimmed with two rows of ccrise velvet ribbon, set between double ruches of the crepe. The waist trimming is most charming. A square yoke back and front is made of alternate gray and cerise stripes, joined by delicate open work embroidery. At the back the yoke is outlined by hounce of cream lace the net of which is caught up into festooned heading; the lace comes over the shoulders, down the sides little way, and then crosses the corse- let in quaint fashion, falling below the waist line. over each hip, in a long, slender point. Just at the belt is velvet chou, each side. The lower bod ice is gathered to the yoke. and caught in at the belt with lovely twisted scarf of the crepe, falling in ends to the feet, finished with chI The sleeves are big, of course, o5 Itriped gray and ccrise- The col rush.

silk and crepe gowns, trimmed with lace.
 All of the fashionables are making more and more of the afternoon tea, particularly because the dinner hour has been set so late. Those families that cling to the notion of home life endeavor, at this time, to have all the members of the family gather. Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt takes an oppor- tunity at this hour of chatting with all of her near relatives, who know that they will never be disappointed if they run in upon her at tea time. Of course, the hostess makes the tea he-- self. Nothing else is hospitable or cor rect; nor can she ever appear to better advantage than when filling the deli cate cups-simple English fashion.
 After simplicity and magnifcence comes the picturesque afternoon gown that is worn at the literary tea, the afternoon readings, and all those unique affairs given by the women who aspire to originality.
 One of the most striking of these is redingote, made of gorgeous rose and green damaslS, and edged with silver fox. It opens down the front to show the gathers of rose silk that fall from neck to foot, girdled by green velvet. A yoke effect is given by three bands of the fox, which cross the silk. The redingote has great Valoi's collar, and long Japanese sleeves, falling over the plain one of rose silk. Sleeves and collar have the fox edging.
