The latest Paris fashion notes state that
skirts are by no means decreasing in width,
as well-known designer has recently used
eighteen yards for the skirt of black
spotted satin, which has a box pleated
back and the front is adorned with large
bow. Stole ends descend from many
bodices, and never before have such beau
tiful buttons been seen, for instance, pearl
buttons are set in steel or jet, and china
painted miniature buttons are with but q
metal rim. Then there is new mother
of-pearl palette, which, mingling with
others, has the most unique effect in en-
broidery.
Crimped silk gauzes in brilliant colorings
are much used for dresses, bodices and
sleeves.
One of Paquin's prettiest models for the
season is gown having a skirt of cerise
silk, with fine black line stripe; the
bodice, white chiffon back and front, with a
shaped trimming of black net, covered
with steel, and an applique of the finest
Brussels point. Attached to this were
square ends, which fell over each shoulder.
Venetian velvet, the groundwork covered

white turnover collar of white corded
silk and guipure medallions, the ends
passing under the arms.
We have all admired the shot silks and
now can express our opinion about the
shot alpacas. | have heard that an alpaca
gown of mauve shot with green, worn by
a New York girl, is very swell. 1t has a
green waistcoat with artistic buttons, but
the combination does not excite my admir-
alton. A dainty little woman who lives
here is very good to look at in a gray
alpaca-one of the coarse grained ones
with very large collar of white silk,
dotted with black and edged with pretty
killed frill of dead white cambria. The
cuffs are deep and have the same finish
The pouch vest is of the silk and the
jaunty coat is quite short and full over the
hips. A waistband of black satin is worn.
The new lawns are quite popular. They
are sort of fine Holland, with colored
spots. A gown made of this fabric has
the bodice composed of linon to match the
spots and draped from each shoulder
passing round the waist and one end falls
over the skirt. The sleeves match the
skirt while long cuffs are made to match
the lace vest or the material of the dress.
For tall, slender girls this model is ex-
cellent. A large buckle should hold the
draped linen at the waist line. The gown

OF themselves on the racetrack, the sport is
kept purer and more fascinating to women
who ride for actual benefits which proceed
from the exercise and for the pleasure and
convenience OF easy and graceful locomo-
ton. The racing contingent has a sphere
in dime museums on pedals that turn
clock-faced indicators.
The Wheel says the interest of cycling is
already being looked for in connection
with the great Worlds Exhibition at Paris
in 1900, to celebrate the first year of the
twentieth century. The commission OF
physical exercises suggests the holding of
twenty-five race meets and two exhibit
lions of cycling military maneuvers. A
great road competition is also planned,
starting and finishing at the Vincennes
exhibition. In addition, the sub-commis-
sion indicates the necessity for a sports
section of the exhibition, in which shall be
gathered all the objects, etc., relating to
each class of sport, and aiding in the Illus
tration of its development and history.
To effect all this the sub-commission asks
for total vote of $4,000. in order that all
who enjoy any prominence in the cycling
world at the time may be attracted to these
proposed great cycling festivals.

Literature.
1t is said that one can Judge of the char
acter of man by the books in his private
library and those that lie on his desks.
Whether this is supposed to be true or not
of women 1 do not know but it so hap
pened that not long since l was in the
sittiDg-room of certain young woman,
and out of curiosity glanced over the
titles of the books Oh her desk and writing
table. She is pretty girl and has been a
belle for many day. One would think
her a mere butterfly to see her in the social
swim, and the people who casually meet
and know her doubtless consider her the
average woman-medium clever, medium
pretty. medium attractive-and yet when
| saw her bookshelf, realized she was diff
ferent from most women, and perhaps a
trif1e more of many things than appeared
upon the surface.
First, there was MereGith's "Lucille"-
Humph, my lady is most sentimental

with chine flowers of every shade, toning
one into the other and forming lovely
blending of colors, has just been placed on
the fiarket, and so has brocade of white
velvet which has fine and lace-like de-
signs and sometimes geometrical patterns
or conventional floral ones scattered
over it, but mostly real lace designs, which
are exceedingly novel and most beautiful
DreSsmakers continue to predict that our
sleeves shall continue to decrease in bulk,
and many slender girls have their puffs
appear much lower down, midway be-
tween the shoulder and elbow. This de-
crease IN size may be safely looked for, as
we cannot have larger sleeves, and as Dame
Fashion seems to have resolved to devote
her special attention to our sleeves, we NAV
in another year find that the allowance Of
a yard per sleeve is ample. However, l
trust we may never have to wear those
dreadful tight sleeves, which made even
the prettiest hands in the world ugly, be-
cause they could not be white with an i'm
peded circulation.
The cape and coat have Joined hands,
realizing that in union there is power; the
result is an ideal outdoor garment, result
ing from which we have fascinating cos
tune for summer, the coat being light
sleeveless Elton with velvet revers; fitting
over the coat is the cape, falling to the
elbows in front and to the waist line in the
back. 1t is lined throughout with shot
silk or brocade, and this model will appear
in all the newest colors and combinations
in lightweight cloths.
The skirt is full and ample and lined
with linen. A gown like is one of covert
coating, the skirt plain and full, hanging
perfectly, then there is the Elton jacket cut
above the waist to show folded band of
black satin, the revers are lined with the
satin laid on to outer revers of white cloth,
showing waistcoat of white satin made
full with box pleat adorned with hand
some buttons. The sleeves are all that
can be desired and they turn back with
cuffs of the black satin, showing border
of the white cloth.
When reading of all the crinkled and
striped mohairs and aipacas now SO much
in vogue, we can understand why the old
fashioned materials are selling SO cheaply,
and for petticoats at this season they de-
mand our attention, as nothing sheds the
dust better; few ruff1es of silk making
them very presentable.
An excellent dress, just completed, is of
black and white finely striped muslin with
a yoke and box pleat descending to the
waist of white corded silk studded with
guipure medallions. The pouch bodice,
held in place by black ribbon waistband,
is formed by bands of mohair united by
narrow yellow insertion of stitching, the
cuffs to the Bishop sleeves corresponding,
while a tiny edging of pale yellow lace
runs round the white silk, and collar band
is trimmed with French bow in front.
The skirt is immensely full and absolutely
plain. This toilet is completed by the adj
dition of chic little cape OF mohair with

worn by the bride of Lord Beresford at her
third wedding was IN most excellent taste,
meriting the full description l shall quote
''The Duchess wore handsome Louis
Quinze coat of pearl gray brocade, with
waistcoat and revers of mauchless point
d'Argentan lace and diamond buttons. The
skirt of the same brocade, in bold design
of satin roses, was slightly trained and per-
fectly PLAIN. Her Grace wore pale gray
velvet bonnet embroidered with pearls,
with a gray ostrich feather and wreathed
round with white violets, the face being
covered with small white lace veil. The

came necessary for the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen to especially legislate
against her eligibility to races under diff
ferent official sanction. Instances have
been known of women competing in West
ern races, and in view of the point that
the Western delegates were most strenu-
ously opposed to admitting bloomer-wear-
ing riders the proof of the pudding seems
to be that it is distasteful. Are the bloom
ers themselves to blame for this setback to
the aspirations of class of women riders
who believe that their sphere is among
class A and class B racers? The wisdom of
this step on the part of the L. A. W. is ap-
parent, and credit is due the organization
in that by curbing the inclination of some
females who might seek to make spectacles

bestowed on the bands at the wrist, which
are much embroidered.
Among the greatest novelties are the
string-colored batiste bodices, made full
back and front and untrimmed, the sleeves
matching the skirt. They are considered
suitable to wear with any material.
A tea jacket is very fetching made of a
roseate velvet with Elton fronts edged with
lace, the square collar being trimmed with
frill of the same, while the front is one
soft drapery of lace; the sleeves are called
"sling sleeves" and are just like large but
very decorative sings, they are of velvet
with crinkled sleeves tight fitting, of lace
underneath.
Among the newest collars and cuffs are
those known as the Shakespearean they
are tucked and embroidered and come in
sheer cambria.
Grenadine ribbon is novelty and is said
to look well on black bonnets.
White kid belts are the rage East.
Box pleats for the front of bodices and
the long scarfs of white muslin edged
with frills are no longer sewn to the gown,
but merely hooked, making them easily
and quickly removable-which is a good
idea, as one or two wears spoil their fresh
ness.
A good idea for the frilled muslin and
cambria prints is to use perfectly fitting
corset-cover; one absolutely plain, of
course, as the foundation. Those using
just false front will find that it has no
style whatever, because it will not stay in
place properly. l am convinced that many
women and girls do not wear proper COR
| sets; for do we not constantly see little,
| short-necked women with their busts
| pushed up under their chins, when, to have
good figures, they should let their busts be
| in their natural position; besides, pressure
| in certain places frequently causes cancer.
| In Paris even the very modestly off
mother would not think of letting her
| daughter wear ready-made corset know
ing that we all have shapes that differ,
! even when apparently most alike, and COM
preston is often most harmful; besides,
| when purchasing corsets remember that a
Saline corset will not fit into the figure as
a coutil one will.
| In this City there are certainly two excel
| lent corset-makers, there may be more, so
| do not try to make ready-made corsets fit
| by cutting them down in one direction and
adding to them in another. Rather do
without an extra hat and spend that money
| on making yourself more comfortable.
| Many young girls here of IL have not yet
had on a corset, and without exception
! those whom | know have lovely natural
! figures, which, when corseted, year or SO
| hence, viii be spoiled unless proper corsets,
| light and flexible, are worn. Stout women
| should remember that pushing and COM
pressing the flesh in one direction only
makes it very apparent in another
| Remember when looking bright and
| fresh you should not wear wells with dots
| or figures, but on the other hand when
! tagged and weary, the dots, etc., cast mer-
ciful shadows over the face.
