surmounted by soft neckerchief OF

skirt of silk or velvet, and a bodice
formed of alternate puffs of silk and
velvet. The sleeves are tight to the
wrist, and the head ornamented with a
crown.

from the waist, with gilt ornaments at
each end. Epaulettes of gold Lace are
wired to stand out like wings on the

You see there was something in the
atmosphere when those old silks were
made that acted as preventative.

like the mellow tints Of an old picture.

in reserve. There is Napoleon coat. q
short, tight-ftting garment trimmed
across the fronts with military braid,
which is rather nobby. There are cum
ming little pockets ON the front skirt of
the coat which have the Napoleon
curve. The Napoleon hat, which only
found favor with few last season, is
again in evidence, with cluster of tips
on the pointed front brim. And the
Napoleon lock hanging over the fore
head is cultivated again.
Theater gowns are taking the place
of the fancy waist. and one that saw

front of the bodice being of pink silk,
as was also the immense collar, which
crossed in front, extended like wings
across the figure, and formed deep
sailor collar in the back, edged with
ruffie of the same. The full draped
sleeves were gathered from the elbow
downwards into the seams, fitting the
arm closely. The waist and neck were
accumulated with large bows of pink
satin. The skirt was entirely plain.
The pouch-waist is the ugly name of
an ugly fashion. but one which just
now is the rage. 1t is to have the front
OF the waist hang over the skirt just in

gowns are made in this way. / have

NEW GRANT STATUE.

<
Club. of Brooklyn.
Had .he colossal bronze equestrian
statue Of Gen Grant, recently pur-
chased by the Union League club of
Brooklyn, been the sole production OF
William Ordway Partridge, it would
suffice 10 place him in the very from,
rank of American scnlptors The ac-
companying Illustration is taken from
a sketch Of the impressive subject. and
will give some idea of the subtle skill o.
its author.
In the silent, reSoiutc, determined
figure, says Once a Week, one beholds
the real Grant Looking on il and not

high head and erect ears of tire charger.
IL is not difficult 70 imagine the roar OF

of this statue in Paris, three Years ago,
since which time il has claimed his best

That high art pays, even from mon

purchase price agreed ON by the man

almost equal to that paid the veteran
