beautiful. Jewellers are bringing out line
of exquisite neck buckles. enameled, jeWeled,
and engraved, the workmanship being OF the
finest description. The most costly ones
come in set of three-one large for the front
and two smaller ones for the sides. Spangles
are no less fashionable now than they were
last winter. They are woven on founda-
ton to form galloons OF various width and
of as many tints as the scales of an irides~
cent dragon. They are sprinkled over gauZe
for evening gowns and are worked into en-
broidery patterns on velvet. They simmer
on hats. bonnets. wraps. and gowns. They
form the decoration of some extremely
pretty new fans OF black gaUze intended for
evening use, upon which the little steel OK

There are also gauze fans quieter In ap-
pearance, but moro costly, adorned with
small painted medallions framed in lace.
These are more appropriate for the use OF
middle-aged women, TO whom rich rather
than gay effects are suitable.

Patch and powder ladies need red heels and
rich brocades. Dainty Dolly Yardens, on the
contrary, are sweetest in only gay Powered
ealicoes. and goddess OF the most heavenly
sort can be resolved from simple cheesecloth.
If you are a lover OF the Corsican hero you
might take hint from the Napo,eonic resur-
rection and be Josephine, a Hortense or
Marie Louise. Again. if you have only
frivolous French tastes. and are OF that sweet,
slim, white type that is most adorable when
audacious, you might copy Clairin's white
Pierrette.
This charming costume which, is sort OF
sister to the Pierrots. is made Of white satin
and ribbon and thin white lace. The short,
gored skirt is first trimmed with hounces OF
lace up to the waist; over each OF these
falls second one of the satin in deep points.
The bodice of satin is pointed at the waist
and the sleeves fit tight TO the elbow, are
there finished with heavy fall OF the lace.

EVEN TO VEGETABLE DRESSES
The Old-fashioned Donkey Party Is Again in
Vogue and Gives Excuse for Freakish
Slippers and Stockings in
Imitation of the Stems of Flants-There
Are Also Pretty, Romantic Ensembles.

New YORK, Jan. 12.-In what may be called
the mid-seaseon of winter gayetY is the mo-
ment when fancy costumes begin to play I'M
portant parts in the feminine world.
Sad-faced Lent, with penitence in hand is
coming to put an end 10 merry-making; and
so it is we abandon ourselves first to in
duigence to mad masques and revels, to all
the costumed games and dances we havelong
delighted in, and which are yearly inaugu-
rated by the festival of Twelfth Night.
The costumed gayeties of this season are
SO many and varied that it would be hard 10
enumerate them all.
But among others the old-fashioned
donkey party has been revived, and new
whim is to dress the guests as vegetables
all the green and colored things beloved by
his ass-ship.
The party itself is, rs everybody knows,
merely the pinning of talless donkey
drawing against the wall and then trying
blindfolded 10 fasten the dsmembered por-
ton where nature has intended it to grow.
The costumes may be of lamp shade paper
or common calico.
Either medium, If cleverly handled, will
turn out an effective and inexpensive vege-
table. and a carrot and lettuce may be
made IN this way:
A RED VEGETABLE.
For q carrot, choose calico of yeliowish
red shade for the skirt, and the same mate

the collar bone as the American woman too
frequently does. The longer the slope. SO
much moro perfect the curve, granting al
ways that the incline allows of another curve
to the line OF the waist
Even French conturieres did not suffi-
ciently impress the American mind with this
idea until the fashionable women across the
channel adopted il. Then English corsets
were fashioned to suit the need. The bones
were either cut sufficiently low for the bust TO
fall to the correct line. or the fullness across
the chest allowed the same position. Take
Mrs. Kendall or Mrs. Langtry, for instance,
the two English figures with which, perhaps,
VIC are mos. familiar; there one can note that
superb slope along the chest; and. again, in
our cwn Emma Eanes-Story. whose contour
is we'll nigh perfect. the line Is almost phe-
nomenal from chin to bust. Contrast this
with Lillian Russell. whose corset binds the
fullness over the dress line, no matter how
slightly decollete is the bodice.
/ went into corset shop on Fifth avenue
yesterday to find if New York women were
adhering to the start they made last spring.
Yes said the shop-keeper, lit is astonish-
ing how the sale of Empire corsets is increas-
ing. Each of our customers now adds to an
order. be sure you get the bust low enough,

THE CORRECT CORSET.

How to Accentuate the Graceful Lines OF
the Figure.
A captious critic said OF Calye last winter
that he could see nothing admirable about
her, unless it was the long line OF her bust
Immediately. American beauties began to
adopt something else belonging to the great
singer. beside cigarettes and Spanish comb.
They tried on corsets whose fullness in, or
lack Of, bust lent to the figure that graceful
long line from the two tiny muscles in the
front of the throat to the point of the bosom.
French women have long known that this
situation of the bust makes exquisite contour
of figure. If it was not natural, they ac-
quired it. and the result made the French
figure with its broad shoulders, low, small
bust and long, slender waist the ideal one for
the civilized world.
But it was only copy from Greek art
which Nine. Recamier brought into vogue
during the empire. No Venus there had a

Hoops were worn in the reign of Gu cen
Elizabeth, and with interregnums down to
the early portion of George Hts reign,
though, of course, in all that long period
they much altered their appearance and their
construction. and also their size. Sometimes,
SAYS the New York Commercial Advertiser,
they are made of whalebone; sometimes they
are merely corded petticoat, and it was
with these the dresses were distended in the
middle OF the seventeenth century.
In 1860 they were oval in form, while the
pocket hoop was in fact two hoops-one worn
on each hip. united with tape which passed
round the waist. They were often advertised
as being made OF cane, and Fairholt tells us
that in 1877 folding hoop WAS introduced,
so that sedan chairs and carriages might be
entered easily The dress of the ladies in the
reign OF James I could be worn over hoops,
or French lady's dress in the reign of Henry
j would also be suitable.
When crinolines were last worn, thirty or
forty years ago, the skirts were made very
full and quite plain. with tight-1tting bodices,
tight sleeves at the shoulder and wider at the
wrist Some had a belt and others small
points at the back and trent of the bodices;
the skirts were not then gored. Lace collars
and wide lace sleeves, or undersleeves of
white muslin or lace made full and confined
with band at the wrist, were also fashion
able at that time.

Miss Jones is really quite little angel, for

finally compelled her to get out of her cot and

The bodice differing in material from the

both simple and elaborate styles for day and

but plaid velvet in bright colors is newer and
is said TO be seryieeable, besides being un-
doubtedly warmer. A bodice of this latter
goods is very effective worn with a black

THE OLD YEARS.

No old year ever went away
But echoing In his ears
He heard sound of sad reproach,
A sound of dripping tears,
And-harder o endure-the bells
Which rang to greet his heir,
The all unknown AMI new born yoar,
Made welcome everywhere.
The tickle race he strove to serve
Thus welcomed him erewhile
A baby with starry eyes
And promise m his smile.
He labored hard to lift and cheer,
To make the promise true,
But death was stronger far than he,
And pain was stronger, too
Humbly he bends his patient way
To where the dead years lie
Waiting their resurrection day,
Which shall be by and by; .
And those who smiled to see them go
They shall behold them then
Come sweeping back in awful state,
Restored to life again.
The worlds FIR t radiant year shall smile
A smile of Eden birth,
The seconds face be marred with tears,
The earliest shed on earth;
And so as centuries pass us by
Dead lust and pain and hate
Shall stamp upon each year a trace
Naught can obliterate.
And mid the hoary years of old
Our own years shall come, too,
The few short years which made our lives,
The only years We knew;
There they shall stand and meet ur gaze
Like ghosts of dead sight
The witness of long vanished days,
To bless, accurse, or blight
This new year soon shall be the Old
His strength will fade and fail.
All hold him as the wanderer held
The angel in old tale.
Detain him with urgent clasp,
And, he he friend or foe.
Wrest seme surc bless ing from his hand
Before you let him go
