POSTERS STILL ATTRACT.
Crowds Continue to Visit washing

ton Light Infantry Armory.
The increased number of visitors at the
Columbia poster show yesterday shows
that Washingtonians are growing more
and more interested in this mammoth dis
play of original American paintings.
The great number and variety OF de-
signs are such that they afford great
interest to those who are not up in art,
as web as to the critical eyes of the ex-
perienced painter. The many scenes de-
pictcd are of such a lively and fin de
steele nature that they are attractive
to young and old alike. IL one is III.
quest OF the latest or most appropriate
cycling costume, no greater variety of
designs could possibly be found 10 select
from. for every mode OF the feminine cycling
habit is shown, from long and short
skirts, TO boomers of every poss ible
description and color.
The prize winners are naturally the
center of attraction, and the criticism OF
the first prize is not of an altogether
pleasing nature, Us u rule; for 10 the
casual observer IL does not possess nearly
the eye-catchng and artistic qualities of
the third prize. The painting No. 1888,
by Miss Caroline c. Lowell OF Birmingham,
Ia. and which hangs near the prize
winners, is attracting great attention.
This is The design which won the popular
vote of the New York public, and repre-
sents a Young woman riding around the
earth with the moon and stars trailing
on behind. This conception is full OF life
and the coloring such that 1t cannot but
gain instant recognition as a remarkably
fine piece of work, both from an artistic
and advertising standpoint.
1t may be well said that so great a
collection OF original designs have never
been brought together before. and that they
are certainty arranged in a most pleasing
manner and one that the public cannot fai
10 apDreciate.

HIDDEN HOOKS.

A IL the waists have no visible means
"A of support. Hooks and eyes are
hidden by the cross folds OF the
material, and these same folds must be
carefully draped, so as to make a slender
figure stouter and a stout figure slender.

merry women who must be in the fashion
or die, it is possible very odd and
striking model OF these folds is shown
in q gown OF reseda green taffeta silk,
