A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE.
Finely That Mr.. Mayer Says Will b
Fashionable This Winter.

FineIy That Mr.. Mayer Says VIII Be
Fashionable This Winter.
1t was an ancient Latin writer who said
that woman was created so that there
should be on every side an existing defini-
ton of fickieuess and uncertainty. He
may have been right in the first instance,
but there can be no question about his err
ror in the second. There is nothing more
certain than a woman, no matter how
often her mood may change. When she
wants anything and sets her mind on 1t
she's pretty apt to get it, and this char
acteristic of hers is shown In no more tell
ing way than in the matter of her choos-
ing the fashions.
She may have a dozen different PEN
chants in a half a dozen seasons, but she
have it this fall and winter, too. Some
people look in fashion books to find out
what the styles are going to be, and the
result usually Is that they find plates and
descriptions of styles that are going out.
The best and surest way to get a glimpse
into the future of feminine finery is to talk
with man whose business it is to look
ahead and invest big money in what the
gentle sex proposes to demand. With this
idea in view a Star reporter called on Mr..
E. Mayer of the Bon Marche, on 18th street
below D, yesterday and chatted with him
on the all-important subject.
1.-The head is the first point in the estima-
ton of the woman who wants to be in
style" said Mr.. Mayer, 'snd she will favor
this fall and winter medium or large hats
and bonnets. The Prevailing colors will be
black and green, and wings will be the IA
vorite in early trimming, while ostrich
plumes will follow later on. VIII feminine
sleeves be large? Yes; bigger than ever.
The day of crepon is passing, and the ma
terial for stylish dresses will be of the stuff
the French call in their expressive way
head of he negro The surface will be
fuzzy-kinl Y. If you willard black will be
absolute almost. Short box REFER coats
will be the only outer wear the fashionable
woman will permit to protect her when the
chill winds begin to blow. They will be
made with mandolin or melon sleeves, made
in pieces with seams. and two or three
times larger than last year to accommo-
date the big sleeves have spoken of. Can
a woman dress herself as easily as man
in garments already made up to be sold ?
Equally as easily. She can get just as good
material, just as we'll made and just as
stylish as tailor-maGe goods. The only diff
ference is in the price,

and is taken as evidence of the cars de-
sire to emphasize the existence of an al
lance between Russia and France on mil
itary grounds. Prince Lebanon is the
closest confidant of Gar Nicholas.
At banquet which was given Wednes-
day night, Gen. Dragomiroff gave the fol-
lowing toast:
ITO fraternity on the field of battle, to
union in combat and to the little French
troops who sometimes move me to tears"
At 8 o'clock yesterday the troops were in
position. The force of officers arrived on
horseback, when the spectators broke out
into enthusiastic shouts of ''Vive la Rus
sie." Soon afterward M. Hanotaux, the
French minister of foreign affairs, and
Prince Lebanon arrived in a landau, fol-
lowed by Gen. Dragomiroff, with Gen. Bois-
the signal for renewed shouts of "Vive la
RuSSie.'
President Faure, accompanied by NJ. Ri
bot, minister of war; NJ. Besnard, minister
of marine, and numerous other officials,
senators and deputies, arrived and took up
the positions assigned to them on the re-
viewing stand. President Faure then drove
along the line.
President Faure then proceeded to the
official stand. Prince Nicolas of Greece oc-
cupied the seat at his right. NJ. Hanotaux
presented Prince Lebanon to the president
of the republic. The march past was ex-
ecuted in brilliant style, and evoked much
enthusiasm.
At luncheon President Faure made a
speech, in which he said that he rejoiced to
see around him such distinguished friends
of France France was pacific, he said, and
confident in her power, and would tntrust
her destiny with assurance to her sons.
Among the guests at the luncheon were
Prince Nicolas of Greece, Prince Lebanon
and Gen. Dragomiroff. President Faure
proposed toast to the car and the Rus
STA imperial family.

cruiser, to which we replied. Turning
into the harbor and keeping in sight on
