light and ornamental, but little. if at
all, low at the neck, and no head COW
ering and pretty coiffures. If there is
a dinner party first, the guests will, OF
course, wear evening dress at least to
the above extent and go in carriages.
Where the party meets at the thea
tire or some other rendezvous and Flora
is ar a loss to know what the other
girls are going to wear, since she cam
not depend upon them doing the right
thing, and does not wish to render her
self conspicuous by dressing-as Cyni-
Gus says undressing-mor than they
do, she can do this always with safety.
That is in American cities.
l. e., she can wear a handsome dark
skirt of silk or satin or wool, and a
pale tinted silk bodice, because the lat
ter looks so much more dressy than
any dark colored one. This 'body" may
have any of the furbeloWs of the day,
as chiffon -"stock" with rosettes or
wing bows, and lace collarette or re-
vers, etc. Then she will wear light,
perfecly fresh gloves, and if she does
not go in a carriage, and does not like
to risk the quite uncovered head in the
theatre or to wear a head scarf Of chif-
fon in the street cars, she may wear
one of the jaunty little apologies for an
opera bonnet that are now in vogue.

LADY EXHIBITORS.
They VIII Show Some of the Finest
Horses Seen ut the Annual New
York Horse Show,

New York, Nov. 10.-People who wit
ness that wonderful production of fash
ionable civilization-a horse show
know very little Of the work and worry
and responsibility back of it. nor of the
doubts and fears of those who are to
exhibit their equine darlirgs. VIII
they be we'll cared for? Will they be
kindly treated at night when the own
ers have gone away? And is there any
danger to sensitive, pure-bred horse
temperaments? These are questions
which the horse show managers have
to answer again and again.
When the entries of the horse show
opened about month ago there alght-
ed at the doors of the American Horse
Show association a lady, richly dress
ed, but bearing the fatigue of travel
in her face and the marks of it upon
her garments,
Il have come to inquire she said to
the manager of the show, grasping hirn
by the hand, ''if-if you really think it
safe-perfectly safe for horses to be eX
hibited at your show? 1 have a lovely
little Russian pony-the dearest little
fellow, just imported, and Oh, so very

way from Cleveland, to ask you if it is
perfectly safe to enter him."
The management assured her that il
was safe" and then she departed

FANCY WORK.
What Can Be Done at Home and the
Pleasure 1T Brings
STURGIS


One gets awfulIy tired sometimes
talking about and looking at hats
wraps and gowns, and it is a relief to
nave something else in the way of at
tire that is sufficiently unique to war
rant a cozy chat and criticism.
1 think I have found it in the
French toilet jacket, and, as was
only natural, Mia was it's discoverer

Portable style while she was abroad
and upon her returning utilizing her
own seamstress to turn out an Ameri-
canized copy of the French edition. The
one which burst upon my delighted
view when 1 went over yesterday to
see how she was getting over the eff
fects Of too much Hallowee was made
OF soft, pale blue cashmere, the back

was gathered to q yoke formed of al
ternate tucks and cashmere ernbroid-

the sleeves also match, and the turn
down collar is edged with embroidery
L am an ardent lover of outside pref
ties, but lingerie and the little boudoir
jackets that are seldom talked about
are really more delightful in my eyes
than those regulation affairs that are
described in every fashion journal. A
species of fancy work that may seem
queer regarded from the regulation
standard is the making of silk petit
coats. This 1 delight in and evenings

caded with bouquets of violets 1t has
three ruffles of lace and three more of

than the ordinary taffeta silk
Rosettes of pale heliotrope baby rib

themselves up into points like sea

Though I thought wnen we bought
our house that it was superabundantly
blessed with closets, 1 find whenever a
new gown comes home that there are
not half enough. 1 thought of getting
a white and gold wardrobe to put in
my white and gold spare room, but 1
found that such a bit of artistic furni-
ture meant the expenditure of hun
dred dollars. I, therefore, had the car
penter build one, and painted it myself
with three coats of white enamel and
put in gold lines where necessary, and
now I have a gem of wardrobe for
SIS, that looks exactly as well as the
higher priced ones. I have padded it
throughout with cheesecloth cushions,
filled with violet powder. and every
thing that comes out of it has a faint
fragrance clinging to it that is delight
full So much as a hint to other house
wives pressed for room and pocket
money.

MARKS OF CHARACTER.
To the Skilled Eye Il Woman is Re-
rAaled By Her Ring Tray.

Almost everything a woman does or
says or wears is nagnified by some one
into an indication of character. She
wears a, certain style of shoe or wears
it in a. certain way, and some one dis
covers that she is vain and spend
thrift. She wears her gloves out in the
thumb and some one else discovers that
she is cruel or something else. She has
a. fondness for laces and she is dubbed
old-fashioned; she INDUCES in studs and
is called masculine. The poor thing can
wear nothing without having some one
consider her doing so portentious. Her
rings are no exception to the rule. The
professional finder Of character in trifles
can give almost a Sherlock Holmes re-
sumo of a woman's disposition and his
tory from a sight of her jewel tray.
Is she very fond of solitaries? She is
newly rich and anxious to display her
wealth, proclaims the character-reader.
Is she fond of the ordinary, fashionable
stones, in the ordinary fashionable set
tings? She is common place. A woman
who with money enough to buy a mar
quise ring of sapphires and diamonds,
has not enough originality to buy some
thing else, is distinctly commonplace
according to the interpreter of rings.
Does she wear tall settings on a pudgy
IItle HHSer, making 1t look pudgier
than ever? She is inartistic. Does she
wear white pearls and crystal clear
diamonds on hand that is not as
white as milk? She is worse than in
artistic. Does she wear oblong bands
of gold instead of vertical ones? She
begins to show CLEANS of originality
and good taste. Does she have her
stones sunk into quaint silver settings
or old-fashioned chased gold ones?
There is hope for her in an artistic
sense. Does she wear opals? She is
venturesone. Who but a daring wo-
man would defy superstition? Is she
particularly attached to deep red stones
-rubies, carbuncles, garnets? She is of
a forceful nature, says the character
reader. Red is the color beloved of peo-
pie of passionate dispositions. Is she
fond of sapphires? She is earnest, truth
full, constant, intellectual.
Does she wear but one ring, eschew-
ing all others? She is sentimental. Does
she wear great many? She is vulgar,
or at best frivolous Does she wear
none at all? She is poorl
So whatever she may do, the poor
thing is harshly interpreted. She might
as well, therefore, keep on doing what
she pleases.-Philadelphia Times.

girlish, ignorant fashion. to be tender
and faithful and honest Though she
is girl, she has a glimmering sense of
justice; and, although she is not
a man, she has notion of honor She
may be criticised as a maiden, but she
is an irreproachable wife, and she be-
comes the most devoted of mothers.

This will look enough like bonnet
to pass muster if all the others wear
them, and will not be obtrusively a
chapeau if none Of the others do more
than dress their hair modishly.
One thing more. The American wo-
man is forever finding herself in a
hotel. If she eats in the public din
ing room it is in the best taste for her
to wear a simple street dress. and pre-
ferably her hat. A woman Of fashion
and refinement does not dress for the

pocket may sit at the next table star
ing at her conspicuousness. If she is
going out in the evening and dresses
for the occasion before dinner, she
should dine in private room, if she be

President Not Quite Ready 10 Transmit His

WAsHINGToN, Jan 13-Yesterday was n
day of waiting for information on the
Hawaiian question. The news was
awaited in vain. It was confidently be-
lieved that the papers received by the
Corwin would go to congress yesterday.

cabinet at its session yesterday The pa
pers received are 10 be accompanied in the
message to congress by the instructions
sent by the Mariposa, which was 10 have
sailed from San Francisco yesterday.
These instructions were the subject Of
discussion by the cabinet, and, in accord
ance with Secretary Gresham's announce
ment that all instructions TO Minister
Willis would be sent TO congress imme-
diately upon being dispatched, will be
transmitted to congress at an early day.

news, although it is believed that papers
are all copied for transmission, including
copies for the use of the press.
