the shoulders and at the neck
The latest chenaises have a little
bertha cape, made in points Of alter
nate rows Of insertion and lawn, fin
iShed with edgingy falling over the
arm, while the sleeve underneath is
simply a frill of lace. There is lavish
use of ribbon on all the. undergar-
ments, and mostly in widths much
greater than the baby ribbon which
has been so popular. Some of the most
fluffy white petticoats are cut to flare
widely at the bottom, which is fin
ished with two narrow ruff1es, edged
with lace, and over this is a gored
founce to the knee. The fiounce is
trimmed with wide ruffles of lace or
embroidery, and headed by a band of

of all is the new silk petticoat of white

plain pink taffeta pinked on the edges

side. Additional fullness is given by a
wide bias flounce which extends to
the knee, and the special novelty con-
sists Of the trimming, which is two
gathered ruff1eS of lowered ribbon five
inches wide. The colors are shades of
pink on a white ground, and the eff

altogether charming. Another very
dainty skirt of white has a deep ruffle

pinked ruche of white silk. Still more

intervals all the way round, while
large bow of wider ribbon adorns the

THE SLENDER FIGURES.
The LOOse-FrOnted Gown Gives the
Appearance of No COrsets

The long-accepted loose front FOR dress
waists has at last evolved the apparently UNI
corseted girl, Her gown fits faultlessly al
the back and at the sides, and from tha
throat, or from the cut-out over to the uppei
curve of a firm and rounded figure The ma
terial is also drawn from the sides of ths
bodice little toward the front, nnder thi5
round, as If giving to 1t little support and
then all the folds draw sharply to the waisi
point with the effect of being stiffened, that
no horizontal break may come. Such cut
suits only slender and very well-mad{
woman, but it is distinctly effective. and thu
fashion Is growing.
Th-, corset to be worn is sort Of knit jery
sey that fits the figure quite az an undershirf
does. only q great many delicate threads Of
celIuIoid are run IN the weave, and the fgurs
has an irnmobility good deal like, as 10
were, cast Of itself In marble or in claw
This prevents the change of line which. With
out such preventive, makes the average
gown fitted over the figure extremely i'm
modest. There Is French trick too of lin
ing the front Of such gown with shaped
elastic fiber that follows the natural lines OF
the bust, the bodice being really fitted over
this. and the figure itself taking suppors
from such lining. OF course 1t need not ba
limited that the lining referred to may follow
lines more generous than those OF the natural
figure If this Is deemed advisable.

gowns this season and are frequently
made of black velvet ribbon. They
are always becoming and sometimes
are great boon to the wearer. She
will know why.
1 have noticed several surplice waists
among the very prettiest of all the new
evening gowns. Surplice folds are be-
coming TO every one without exception,
and it should be a matter for congratu-
lation that they are again in style
One of the prettiest fancies in a ball
dress for young lady was a waist of
this kind over a skirt Of baby blue
taffeta shot with silvery white The
skirt was decorated with three com
plete wreaths of pale pink crush roses
set clear around
The sleeves of the taffeta were
crushed in with another wreath of
roses, and two were put on the waist
The upper one had foliage. The waist
was cut square and the edge bordered
with pearl beads. The waist was made
Of figured satin in Persian design, with
faint pink blue and green interviewer.
The right side was entirely smooth,
while the left was draped across to the
hip, leaving a sharply defined point
The edge of the draping also had
row OF beads. A pompadour fan Of
black ostrich tips gave a certain dis
tinction to it all.
Spangle work is seen on many even
ing costumes as well as on house at
tire, and it has it's best effect at night.
JeWeled trimmings are also very sty-
lish just now and fashion directs their
use only for evening. Many Of the
gauZe dresses are spangled quite as
lavishly as the circus garments are.
Black velvet corsages and corsets are
frequently quite covered with spangles
laid in between rows of thick Venetian
guipure. This guipure deserves a
passing word. The limitations Of the
Venetian lace are almost as perfect as

pressively heavy beside the others.
Still some women require magnifi-
cence and others. like good wine, need
no bush and look their best in simpler
stuffs The evening silks are unde-
niably beautiful, the favorite colors
being light and artistic. Yellow takes
the lead. Sulphur maize and canary
taffetas are the prettiest, and next
to them come the novelty striped and
broche gauzes, the printed tissues and
the chiffons, all in light colors Some
of these are exquisite so light and airy
they are and sc soft. They float like
nebula around the wearer. These
are so very new that few persons have
as yet worn any of them, the taffetas
and light brocades and printed silks
having been the leaders.
Just now a new material is offered
for rich evening dresses in the Irish
poplins. These are produced in all the
new colors for evening wear, and su-
perb they are, especially those in cream,
ivory, tan and gold color. The pinks,
blues, etc, are not as rich as the
others in appearance, though of exact
ly the same quality. These belong to
the matrons and are not at all suit
able for the young, being too very
heavy and lustrous. There was a mag
nificent evening gown for a handsome
lady. The skirt was of light golden
tan, made plain in a demitrain. The
waist was gathered full at the top and
bottom and was made of ricn chestnut
Lyons velvet The sleeves were puffed
and reached scarcely to the elbow.
Across the bust and all around the
shoulders and sleeves was a band of
rich gold passementerie with imita-
ton emeralds and topaZes set like jew
els. The rather wide belt was made of
the same. A portion CT the velvet in
the waist was cut to reach I'D and
fasten on the shoulder il a manner
to leave the round of the shoulder
bare A richer toilet could scarcely be
imagined, although it is SO simple in
design.
The pompadour stripes are not con-
fined to the tiny fiowerets set between
the lines as they were. Now one sees
pompadour stripes over changeable
MORE ground with vague blurred fig
ures in cheney designs between the
satin or velvet stripes. These silks, to
bring out their beauty require special
treatment. Made in any other way,
they fail of their effect. They belong

USE OF ORANGES.
The Possibilities of This Wholesome
and SeasOnabIe Fruit.

Fresh fruits are always wholesome
and appetizing as a food or in bev-
erages, and should form part of the
over the fact that the supply of
oranges is becoming plentiful in the
markets and reasonable in price Medi-
cal men say that an acid orange daily
before breakfast from December to
April produces usually a condition of
almost perfect health.
The simplest of many ways Of eating
an orange is to cut a deep slice from
the top and scoop out the juice and
pulp with a spoon.
Oranges serve number of purposes,
and many dainty dishes may be made
with them.
To make jelly oranges: Pour one pint
Of cold water over half box of CELIA
tine, and let it stand an hour. Take
ten nice oranges, and cut from the top
of each round piece large enough to
admit spoon, and remove the pulp
with knife or spoon. Take care not
to break the peel. Keep the shells in
cold water until they are required.
Cut the pulp in small pieces, removing
the seeds and white part Add two
small cups of sugar to the soaked gel
atine, the juice Of one lemon and one
pint Of boiling water. When the sugar
and genatine are entirely dissolved
turn the mixture over the orange juice
and pulp and when it becomes cold
and will just pour fill the orange shells
with it and place them in fiat pan
and pack Ice around them When the
jelly becomes firm carefully remove the
peel and place the jellied oranges on
a glass dish and ornament with a few
green leaves. The liquid jelly may be
moulded in rounded bottom cups and
will look like halves Of oranges when
turned out upon dish
To make clear orange jelly, soak
one package Of. lathe in half a mint
of cold water for an hour. Strain one
pint Of orange juice into bowl and
add the juice of two lemons, two cups
of sugar, one pint Of water and the
beaten whites of two eggs. Put the
mixture into sausepan with soaked
gelatine and let 1t cook ten minutes,
or until the sugar and gelatine are
dissolved. Strain and mould.
Orange baskets are very pretty for
serving the Jelly In. To make them,
select perfect fruit and place one on
a plate, stem end up. Take a sharp
knife and cut on each side of the
stem. not quite half through the or

THE NEW SKIRTS.
Women VIII he Glad to Learn OF
Changes In Them.

The skirts introduced in evening toilettes,
though not so wide as heretofore, show no re-
markable change in breadth. For evening
wear, the tablier has been occasionally reviy-
ed, made OF velvet, satin duchesse or chine
taffeta and bordered by jet feathers and
piping. The plain skirt now decorated with
embroidery or arabesques at the hips is
still seen, and is supported by stiff Interim
ing, carried half way up the skirt.
But there is a deplorable lack Of decision
among leading Paris modistes, from whence
most smart things emanate as to the vogue
in next seasons skirts. 1t is certain how
ever, that the godet skirt will be differentiated
straight side, instead Of being sloped at eli
Their edge. The motive for this change la
looked upon the thin edge OF the wedge
towards a revival of the First Empire modes,
yet the bodices all tend towards a decade OF
SO further back tina that. There is no
admirers, though the large revers, the jabot
and enormous buttons are not to every body'a
taste.
One design has a wide-shaped front width
and narrow back, a seam running up the
latter, and the fullness at the top laid in two
plated back there is a resusctated fancy.
which rings change from the ubiquitous
triple arrangement of godet or plat.
Many OF the tailor-made suits for spring
will have the skirts made up without lin
ings, and consequently without interlinings.
an interlining Of canvas will be necessary
in the Of these pronounced ox-plaits.
A manufacturer has hit upon way of de-
creasing the weight of q skirt by employing
light interlining, turning up the skirt
edge and carrying the lining down to with
a narrow gathered iounce finishing all fussily

those priceless pieces Of handiwork
are, and they are truly magnificent
Wnen applied over velvet, which throws
up their pattern into, high relief. The
most OF the venetian laces are either
max or putty colored, cream or ecru,
but now there is new shade called
rufus, sort of rusty yellow.
The evening coiffures deserve a pass
ing mention, as at the opera, first-class
theaters and balls more than usually
elaborate dressing Of the hair is con-
sldered necessary. There Is consider
able false hair used now, mostly in
the way Of loose, open curls massed
about the forehead. The hair is parted
In the middle and waved loosely down
the side and brought over large rat"
or curled horse hair, so that it hangs
low and massive on the back Of the
neck. From there 1t is twisted up into
loose coils on the back of the head In
some cases there is a little mass Of
short curls rising from the coil In
other cases nothing but the coil is
seen, but this is loosely twisted into
fanciful shapes and decorated with
feathers, aigrets, jewels or flowers.
Sometimes there is but one ornament,
and again all the things mentioned are
put on together. There are some who
have very full bang Of short close
curls. Where a lady has a fine head
of hair it can be drawn up from the
forehead in pompadour waves over a
cushion, few curls clustering at the
temples. The rest is waved loosely
and carried to a soft knot with the
ends winding into little curls. A single
rose with a bud and long stems is
fastened so that it stands upright, the
stems sticking downward very stiff1y.
Jewels are worn in the hair and once
in awhile one will see a pert little
how Some wear diamond 6,1cf rou-
dered through the hair, and one or two
daring leaders have worn powder. The
principal fact remains that there is no
doubt Of an era of prosperity for the
hairdressers at hand, and that false
hair will again offend the taste of
many.

to the Louis XVI. time, and so they
have their up-turned cuffs, coat sides
and deep pockets. There was pict-
uresque gown of this silk in blues and
faint pinks over silvery MORE ground
The back was princess shape. The
front was cut. away like the Louis
Seize coats to little below the waist,
and there was deep three-pointed
pocket flap set with two large chased
silver buttons. Down the straight
fronts on each side were set three
more buttons. and two more were put
on the points of the up-turned cuffs
just above the elbow. The front
breadth of the skirt or "petticoat," as
1t is called, was Of pale pink chiffon
embroidered in delicately tinted floss
In pattern as vague and elusive as
that in the silk. The neck was cut
medium low and had fichu of pale
pink chiffon edged with cream-colored
Brussels lace. The fichu was festooned
by diamond horseshoes, and at the
bust there was a bunch of arbutus
with its foliage. There was a dog COL

which were pinned several ornaments.
These collars are often worn with low
