1t is amazing how young and charm
ing the Princess Of Wales still looks.
There is a rather droM testimony to her
beauty in the fact that all the royal
ladies' related to her copy her very in
dividualistic way of doing her hair, says
an English correspondent. That "curled-
all-over'' fashion that is so becoming
to the Princess of Wales, with the neat
style of dressing high and close to the
shape at the back of the head, is pre-
cisely initiated not only by her own
daughter. but also by the Duchess Of
York, and the Duchess of Sparta and the
Crown Princess of Denmark, who are
now in England, Now, as we all know,
the style is peculiar to the Princess of
Wales, who adheres TO 1T as steadily
while fashions changes surge arouA
as she did to the close-ftting Princess"
bonnets while the average bonnet
mounted two feet sxyWafd a few years
ago. 1t is amusing. therefore, to see
how other royal 1aaies, even if of only
half her years, make her their supreme
arbiter In matters of taste. their model
in questions of toilette.
The Princess of Wales went to the
theatre almost every night last week
with her guests, the Crown Princess of
Denmark and the Duchess CT Sparta.
On one occasion she was in black silk
grenadine, cut square in front and
frightened by a collar of diamonds SO
wide and so tight that 1T might have
been tying on her pretty &-year-old-
looking head. The Duchess of Sparta
was in low-cut white satin, draped and
ruffed sleeved with white mousseiine de
sole, sprinkled closely with gold span
giles. The Danish Crown Princess wore
a brilliant red gown.
With the revival of the sash this COM
ing season will be introduced many and
novel ways in which it may be used
1t will have lost ssome of its old-time
simplicity, but in picturesqueness and
beauty it will not have changed. The
majority of the new sashes will be made
of wide ribbons. and never have they
been more beautiful than they are at
present. Among the newest ribbons for
fall and winter are those of MORE
antique, with a satin back. The MORE
ribbons were high in favor four years
ago, but since then the different yarie-
ties of taffeta have taken their place.
The new moires show the watered effect
clearly and are much more desirable
because of their satin back.
C~hangeable glace ribbon. with a black
satin edge. is another novelty. 1t makes
an exceedingly stylish sash. Then there
are the new liberty satins, which
promise to be much the vogue. These
ribbons are much like a double-faced
satin, only they are softer, and conse-
Quently make a more graceful belt. In
addition to these ribbons, which are the
chief novelties, many ombre ribbons
with tinsel effects, will be worn, and
broad brocaded velvet ribbons for sashes
are also to be the fashion, particularly
black velvet ribbons.
The gay Roman sash will be worn, and
h~and-painted sashes with evening gowns.
These sashes will b one Of the expen-
sive novelties of the season. The colors
which promise TO be most in favor are
the new red shades. A cherry pink Is
one of the latest exquisite colors, also
a soft. brownish cherry. Any of the new
bon, with the black edge, are most
effective.
At the very moment of Charles Dick |

the eldest of the novefist's two daughters,
was lying dead at Farnham, a small Sur |

Episcopal palace, says "Harper's Weekly
Mary Dickinson Mamie" as her dis
tinguished father called her-was born in
1888, when he was in the throes of writ |
ing Oliver Twist. We hear little of her
in Forster's Life" which is odd. con- |
sidering that Forster was her godfather. |
Such glimpses as we catch, however, are
always pleasing. It was she who taught
Dickens how TO dance the polka, in view
of a Twelfth-night festivity. The move

he had forgotten the step on the night |
previous to his public appearance. and
then and there jumped out of bed-it was
a bitter winter night-to practice 1t.
Remember that for my biography. he
remarked to Forster, when describing
the incident. Some of Dickens most in
teresting letters were written to her while
he was away on his American reading |
tours. They are full Of a tender concern
for her health, which was never robust. |
We hear of her, on one occasion. sdis-
