He first gives an idea Of what fearful force
there lies in a whiplash in the hands of an

polka dots of red paint. The man with

So much has been said about the splen-

it is relief to speak of the lingerie, which is
so beautiful that it appeals 10 all dainty
women, for as can be imagined when $4,000
is spent on underwear alone the result
should be the finest of cambria, the most
exquisite of laces. Vogue says: "An ex-

ton. 1t was of linen cambria, with q
deep rever of hand embroidery, repre-
senting sprays of daisies, placed so as to
come to very narrow point in front,
graduating out over the shoulders into a
wide one. Underneath the embroidered
rufiie was another of the cambria, with a
fall of lace six inches deep. At the back
was a coulisse, through which was drawn
the ribbon to tie in the gown around the
waist. In many of these chemises
these ribbon belts were seen, and in this
way they could easily be used for a corset
cover, alhough a number OF these dainty
articles were made some to look like baby

There were dozen of the corset waists,

A sensation has been created in Vienna
by man who probably stands alone in
the world in his particular line of per-
formance. His name is Piskslug. He is
an expert, or rather a phenomenal artist,
in the use of the gadwhip. Being some
thing totally new in the way OF entertain

sion for packed houses. Mr.. Piskslug is a
thick, muscular little man, with very
keen eyes and swarthy complexion. His

One thing noticeable about all Paris

in Vogue says: 1.-The stamp of elegance is
to be had only by giving to gown some

treme in snowy trimmings. Hand en-
broidery is the dernier cri from the best
Paris houses, and while the materials are
superb. the laces costly and the embroid-

A gown much admired at reception
last week was of black velvet, relieved
with the new shade of pink and some rare
lace. A very handsome costume worn the
same afternoon was of a rich black silk,
having vest effect OF vivid crimson
veiled with cut jet, which also adorned the
sleeves.
Striking contrasts are given entirely out
of fashion, but emerald green is seen with
a new shade of pink very frequently. In
Paris. skirts, vests and bodice trimmings
are all alike, the actual bodice and sleeves
totally different-for example, "a plain,
brown-cloth dress had green and black
crepon bodice trimmed with capes of the
brown CLOTH" Really this particular COM
