TO Members Of Y. w. C.. A.


The chrysanthemum reception ten
dered by Colonel and Mrs. II. M. Boies
at their residence on Clay avenue yes
terday to the members of the Young
Womans Christian association proved
a delightful affair.
About 1875 young ladies were present
early in the evening and were dis
persed over the numerous conserVa-
tories and rose-houses. In the main
conservatory the chrysanthemums

and was the center of attraction. "The
Good Gracious" plant was also highly
admired for its stately beauty, and also
"the Bertha McCurdy," named after
the energetic secretary of the Young
Woman's Christian association. The
SC. w. Childs" was highly lauded by
the ladies, who We're enthusiasts, and
the dark red flower attracted many ad-
mirlng expressions. THE Harry Sun

highest of the high in the opinion of

in the proper quarter,
The ferns comprised numerous
species, colors and sizes, and the
orange and banana trees We're objects
of much discussion. The oranges were
green and not expected to ripen until
next summer. The palms are colossal
in proportions and made noble back

Among the music of the evening a
special feature was observed in mas

tunes We're played during the evening

the large gathering, and everyone was
unanimous in voting that an unusually
pleasant evening had been spent.

tortoise shell buttons. A silk blouse
may possibly be worn under it, but not
a bodice; it is too close. This garment
suits exactly the French idea; it has no
long, sedate lines in it; it gives a plump
look to the figure; there is something
staccato in it; it is. in fine, chic. Also
it is a garment perfectly formed for
active sports, for skating, bicycling and
so on, which recommends it to fin de
steele women in general. Add TO it a
velvet skirt, a muff to match and a
big hat, and there is formed one of the
most charming costumes of the season.

Sumptuous Wraps.
For ceremonious dress, long Jackets
are made, but they are Qftenest of vel
vet, matching in color a silk, or satin,
or cloth skirt with revers and collar
fur-faced. These have a dignity be-
fitting dignified occasions, which is an
other matter, and not the everyday
affair of the coquette.
Fur capes are very fashionable and
expensive also. They are nearly half
length and very full and have a shawl
collar of silver or black fox. Victorines
of sable are one Of the greatest elegan-
date, as in our grandmother's day, but
abridged and full of frivolous godets
with ends that reach the foot. Let over

the wearer at a distance somewhat the
look of a pair of scissors. This scissors
effect is the quintessence of style.
Fur Trimmings.
Quantities Of small animal skins en-
tire are used for trimmings. Apparent
ly the slaughter of beasts to furnish
forth the gown rivals that of birds to
the hat, but it is explained
that these innumerable little animals
are manufactured, so far towards crea-
ton have the furriers gone. Certain
gowns look like the walls Of a trap

and tails follow each other in process

into rosettes and occupy every point
available for an ornament. For a boa.
one beast does not suffice, two are

boundaries of taste and are only men
toned to show the blow of the wind

HOW LITERARY PARIS ENrERTA1ss
Four Famous Women at Home.


Notwithstanding all popular opinion
to the contrary, the French are a. very
formal nation. Bohemia, in the British
sense, does not exist in Paris, for those
belonging to that vast, underlined land
are content to meet in cafes, restaur-
ants and public halls, and nothing
would be further from their thoughts
than to become literary entertainers.
Stlil there are in the gay city some
half dozen hostesses who keep up the
best French traditions and whose sa-
Ions are filed each week with a. de-
lightful cosmopolitan society, composed
largely of writers and artists who meet
to discuss intellectual and kindred sub
Jects, and who are content with far less
formality than their English brethren.
Thus, dress coat and low dress are
unknown in the Partisan world of art
and letters, and this, although not a
few of their meetings take place in the
evening, after the early dinner, which
old-fashioned Parisians delight in.
Madame Daudet Receives.
Such gatherings are held on most
Wednesdays in Madame Alphonse Dau-
diets pretty drawing room; the great
novelist, his wife, young son and little

1t was a pretty illustration of how
dress, as well as pictures, follow the

beyond the old outline, straightway

new imaginary outline must be touched

beauty is his end.

The extremes at least lie close together,
for if the sleeves are a hairs breadth

makes them literally stunning.
The bonnet, small as il is, you OBJ

another one. 1t was all in overlapping
scales of gold that shaded down to
black. Its form seemed to be a diminu-
tive Roman helmet pierced through on
each side with arrows stuck in like long
Japanese hairpins; high above the
crest lowered the tail of a paradise
bird toned down to black, and small
black tips fell down the back. But

effect, which was ravisLing; it nestled
down in the hair like bird in its nest

a black felt amazon was the illustra-
ton, the sides rolled up against the

occupied by knot of English point lace:
Verdure green velvet passed round the
crown and formed a standing loop on

back rose high and fell down low upon
the hair.

AS to colorS in fashion, all the tints of
reddish-violet come first, they are the
rage; next in order are rose, geraninum,
daliah and reddish brown. Black
plumes are used in profusion. They are
under the brim and stand out at the
sides and fall down at the back. They

If these bonnets are the key for the
coquette, what is the key for the elder

sixty five, and it suits them, too"
In Paris all is possible, even eternal
youth.
Fur Novelties.
The fur season started in, as usual,
with a variety of new furs, each of
which by rumor would become the
vogue, but each of which in fact has

of seal and sable, with astrakhan in the
second plan, and for evening the long
haired Persian lamb and ermine. Seal
still makes the orthodox jacket; sable
trimming, and only the white furs men
toned have been found to adequately
grace beauty at night.
Fur FigarOs.
Likewise French women start in the
season with an attempt at jackets, but
after a few tentatives, the jacket dis
appears; the furriers make them but
nobody wears them. French women do
not like jackets, which have too much a
look of utility; French style does not
assimilate them. This season the skirt
of the jacket was very quickly bobbed
off short at the waist line, leaving a
sealsl1in bodice or a figaro, Us you

figaro is close fitted, single or double |

CLEANING LAMPS.

To the wise virgin whose lamps
burn through the long winter evenings
| I went for advice and inquired Of her
methods.
"Why do my lamps give a more
brilliant light than those in other
houses she repeated: Possibly be-
cause I take better care of them.
Lamps are not to be lighted and look
ed ait merely, neither are they to be of
less value than their covering. Most
housewives spend their mornings in
connecting new shades, making over
old ones or fastening fresh flowers to
the one in use. That is not my way.
1 prefer to devote my time to those
hours in seeing that the lamps are re-
warded for their genial help of the
night before
"Few women boil out their burners.
This should be done at least once a
week. l rub mine off first with paper,
then place them all in a sauce pan Of
boiling water ard soap sudS There
they remain for thirty minutes, when
they are rinsed off with clear hot
water, laid to drain. and afterWard
carefully rubbed and polished with a
bit of old flannel. 1 find this the nnly
way to prevent smoking or unseemly
greasines5s.
In my large china lamps where a
brass tank holds the oil, 1 boil out
this metal receptacle as well as the
burner. I fill the tank itself with warm
water, letting it come to a forceful
boil ON the range. This plan removes
every suspicion of dirt as well as odor
it in a weak solution of ammonia and
waiter, then polish Off with chanlois
skin and silicon.
This is my systematic weekly wash
ing schedule.
''As to the wicks, 1 fancy in most
lamps they are rot changed frequently
