good health. Read the following letter:

Dante. Mr.. Ingersolls attitude will be that
of a spectator, which is not the role that
many people would pick out for him under
such circumstances. He will have his pick
of several emotions to depict-horror, pity,
distress or incredulity. Before taking steps
to place Mr.. Ingersoll at the mouth of hell
Mr.. Perhacs took steps to obtain his per-

Americans, gave me a glimpse of some
thing new, which she said had been Or

no idea of the elegance of the little coat,

The back and sides were tight fitting

FOR MISS PULLMAN.
Miss Pullman. Of Chicago. has been
having trousseau prepared here which
in quiet way attracted a great deal of
attention. 1t is very unusual for an
American girl OF unbounded wealth TO
want just the things ordered for Miss
Pullman.
None Of her gowns is snowy or elab-
crate. Thsy are, might say, models
OF propriety. l saw such a lovely gown
in lavender shade that suggested
mauve to me in an unaccountabie way!
The skirt was very large around, as so
many skirts are, and was untrimmed

ender satin around the hem. This
ruching caused the skirt to flare around
the feet. 1t was walking length, and
had q very elegant appearance. II fit

not very full, with all the gode,s at the
back. The bodice was Of The green silk
with yoke Of pale yellow, covered with
black chiffon Around the yoke was
draped fichu of the soft pale yellow
silk edged with a frill of the black chlf-
fon.
With this costume she wore long
black suede gloves that reached to the
full pun of the sleeve. The hat was
green and cream straw trimmed pro-
fusely with viOlets.
Il is so seldom that any one sees any
thing new in the art of trimming on
the back Of bodices. A silk dress | saw
al one OF the shops the other day made
quite an impression on me because
there was something so delightfully."-
new in the way the bodice was fashion
ed az the back. There was but single
seam. and that at the back of the boz
dice.
Where the two fulled pieces coming
from the under-arm seams met there
was just a suggestion OF a shirred head
ing where The seams came together. As
the seam neared the waist line the full
ness increased and was laid in slanting
plaits and drawn very tight TO give the
effect Of a cOrselet.
The front OF this bodice was blouse,
with q full cascade of chiffon. and at
the waist the material was laid in little
plaits 10 give The same corselet effect as
the back.
CAMEO SILK BLOUSE.
One Of the most popular waists that
the model tried on was a cameo silk
with with a prevailing tone of soft yell
low.
The blouse front was draped over
10 the left side and fastened with two
big brass buttons. which cleaned out
through a cascade Of deep cream lace.
The high crush collar and the girdle
were of crushed burnt-Orange velvet.
and topping the collar was q full ruff
of cream chiffon.
The sleeves were very full and were
finished with ''rohed-up' effect that
showed a facing OF plain yellow silk.
Grea, chOus of wide yellow lace fell at
the outside seams of the sleeves.
Quantities of tulle and chiffon are
