Mrs. Edward Seidle has developed a
genius for designing comic opera
ooutfe and character opera costumes,
and is taking a leading place where
men hitherto have reigned supreme. As
soon as women artists learn about Mrs.
Seidle Others will no doubt try to imi-
tate her, but stage costuming has
reached such point that It Is an art in
itself, for which special knowledge is
required. and the very few men who
have made permanent successes In it
In New York can be counted on one
hand.
London artists have been accustomed
to getting many American orders, but
Mrs. Seidle has kept more than one
order in this country In the last year
which might otherwise have been sent
TO England. She is English herself. That
doesn't need telling in 80 many words
after hearing her invitation to step
across the hall into the Office of her
husband, who is property master of the
Metropolitan opera house, and of all of
Mr.. 'Abbeys productions.
Tell you about my worlP l don't
think there is very much to tell.
Simply at one time this winter there
were three light operas on New York
stages for which l had designed all the
costumes, three Others playing in large
eastern cities, and number of leading
people, men and women, on other New
York stages, wearing costumes from
my designs.

There is probably no other com.
modify that the average man Is more
willing to give to his neighbors, and
more unwilling to receive, than ad-
vice. Advice is very frequently given
in the wrong spirit, and it is probably
more frequently given by those who
have neither the prerogative nor the
ability to give advice that is of real
value. Experience is good teacher,
and it is necess ~ for us to expert

to learn everytl ing by experience.

sylph-like hand.
But ordinary girls, with plenty Of
potash in their bones, look best in
something with a Tilt and dash about
it--a big hat, with feathers set at a
wicked angle, and the whole tipped up
at the side at an angle that looks ral-
ish but premeditated.
1t is the same with gowns. The will
lowy kind can wear dress that has an
appearance of being wrapped around
the figure without any visible means of
support; but this style is rare, and it is
safer to wear trim costume, for when
one attempts to look willowy and
doesn't succeed, one is in danger of
looking awkward or untidy. That is
one trouble with the blouses of this
season. They are not sufficiently def
mite to look perfectly neat and trim.
The blouse style is very trying to stout
people. Many stout woman has very
good lines in her figure which are COM
pletely concealed under the fullness of
blouse, and all that remains is the OBJ
jectionable size. One of the prettiest
costumes have seen for woman in
clined to embonpoint has gray and
black striped silk skirt that is stiff
ened In the regulation style. A corse-
let OF black velvet is trimmed with
large fancy buttons, and above this Is
a yoke of finer striped silk, which also
forms the sleeves. A large hat Of black
null trimmed with black feathers was
worn with this costume, and the whole
was very stunning combination. The
general effect was black and white,
and the colors were repeated in the
gloves. These gloves were very pecul-
lar and something entirely new. They
were white on the back and on the palm,
but the spaces between the fingers were
black, and the backs were stitched with

WASHINGTON,

Ainsworth II. Spofford, for over thirty

sequence hi7 accounts are being investi-

Six magnificent steam yachts, such as
could be owned only by the lucky posses

built by the navy during the current fis

promise to he all around the most useful
ships belonging to the United States Gov

March ., 1895, provision was made for
the construction of six light-draft, COM
posite gunboats the individual construc-
tive limit of cost being 100000, exclu-
sive of the cost of armament.
Recent discussion n the press Of the
gold reserve in the treasury and the ac-
ton past and probable of the Morgan
Rothschild bond syndicate recalled to a
Washington man familiar with most of
the inside history of the Cleveland adj
ministration the fact that Gar Alexander
III. of Russia once offered TO loan the
maintain the reserve at any figure desired.
I he friendly tender was declined 10y the
President, because, after several weeks of
consideration and elaboration, and tcle-
graphic CORRESPONDENCE back and forth
between Washington and ST. Petersburg,
it was decided that the President had not
the authority to issue bonds or otherwise
incur Indebtedness on behalf OF the gov
eminent. Since then the power of the
President and the Secretary of the Treas
TRY to issue bonds has been determined,
and if the offer were repeated by the pres
ent Russian ruler It might be accepted.
The story of the proposition made by the
Gar and the way it was received by the
President and his advisers was one of the
best-kept secrets of the White House.
Although the incident occurred some two
years ago no hint of it reached the pub
lie until now.
