NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Gowns with Petticonts to Match. Modes
For Morning aud Afternoon.

Tailor gowns are restored to much of
their pristine Importance now that dress
makers as well as tailors consider broad
cloth the most fashionable wooden fabric
of the season. And the tailors have made
a new ard charming adjunct to cloth
gowns in a silken petticoat matching the
silk of which the only waist of the dress
is made, and also matching the silk lining
of the coat and skirt of cloth. Such pretty
pctticoats are positive comfort to
womanly women, who began to fear that
this essentially feminine garment would
be gradually ousted by the much-talked-
of kinckerbockers, riding tights, etc. But
It's frou-frou is too attractive to be given
up, and, moreover the new skirt has some
new features, such as long shallow seal
ops at the foot to make 1t fall in easily
with the curved folds of the cloth skirt
and yet retain it's straight edge. Alto
gether the abundance of the gay silk,
usually in contrast 10 the color OF the
cloth, greatly enhanced the good looks
of the severe taior-made gown. AT the
top of the five breadths of taffeta are
gathered into a yoke of taffeta about eight
or ten inches deep, doing away with all
superfluous fulness around the hips, and
neatly decorated with rows of feather
stitching. The foot is trimmed with two
or three narrow bias frills, pinked on one
edge and headed by an !nch-wide ruche
pnked on both edges.
For morning and afternoon shopping,
driving. or coaching, nothing can be In
better form than a black broadcoth coat
and skirt with n waist of light apple-green
| taffeta, lining of the same in jacket and
| skirt and IL green taffeta petticoat TO
| match For this suit Rcdfern makes a
very short jacket for the street, with
| little fan-ploatings in the back that dis
close the green lining. The front has
stitched revers and collar. and the seams
are strapped to a point just below the
waist-line. The skirt Of eight or nine
cores may he strapped down the seams or
! in two bands around the foot. The silk
waist is a very fun blouse with tucked
yoke front, turned over collar and bishop
sleeves; bias bands and bows of the SILK
are the only trimming The petticoat Is
made in the way just described, and the
lining of the cloth skirt has no balayeuse.

Tho Flushing Habit.

A few years ago was u blusher Of the
worst type. Advice had in plenty. $50
into society,"" recommended one, with al
most CHASTITY humor. Cultivate will
power" said another, with about as much
eense, and SO on 1t went, each successfully
moro stupid than tho last, until it became
quito evident that relief from outside was
not forthcoming.
Upon turning the matter over in my
mind came to tho conclusion that blush
ing was not a disense but symptom-a
symptom Of defective nervous system.
Tho sequel showed that In my case, Mt
least, this was perfectly correct, and be-
licvo 1t is equally true of the vast majority
Of others.
Having got thus far, set about remov-
Ing the cause. carefully avoided tea,
coffee, stimulants, late hours and other
agents which are we'll known to have al
onorvating influence, living at the same
time as healthily as possible. The result
WAS most gratifying. At the end of a few
months blushing no longer made my life
intolerable and after further period dis
appeared. Boston Traveller.

TIL, scandinavian Girl.

A Norwegian young lady of good fam
ily. who some years ago was guest In my
house, could SEQ nothing improper in OK
.,loriup the Bowcry and Hester street by
night in tho company Of n malo and n fe-
male friond, and when l meekly objected
TO her striking up an acquaintance with
gentlemen in Central park of n Sunday
she laughed in my faoo and told me sans
ccremonic that / was an old fogy My
ideas OF propricty, sho intimatod, wcro
mossgrown, antcdiluyian and smacllcd of
tho ancient period of bondage which, hap
PLY, was now ut an end.
During recent visit to Norway dis
covered that this type of woman, so far
from being exceptional, Is exceedingly
common. She certainly occupies tho front
of tho stage Is all pervasivo and ubiqui-
tous. During tho summer you must meet
her on tho public highways, with her
knapsack on her back, on foot or on bicy-
clio, attended or unattended, swapping her
finger in the face of all old fashioned no
tions of deoorum. / cannot conceive what
kind of wife sho would mako, because !
cannot conceive of tho kind of man who
would have tho audacity to marry her.
And yet she docs not infrequoptly marry.
/ cannot help susrcctlng that she must IN
such case, have exercised the right, which
sho claims, of choosing, instead of waiting
to be chosen and the poor man, in his
embarrassment, has evidently lacked the
courage to exercise his right OF refusing,
instead of waiting to be refused.
Now, / do not claim, of course, that this
"virago of the brain, this representative
Of "thc third scx' to quote MIR. 10 Gal
icnne), Is the ideal woman of Scandinavia
still less that she would mako an idea
wife. But she has for all that, to be tax,
en- into account, because she is, by hei
presence and her noisy propaganda, visibly
modifying the old ideal of scandinavian
wifehood and womnnhood. North Amer

Tho woman who finds herself at tho top
of flight of stairs breathless and OK
haustod, gasping and blowing in dis
tressing manner, has undergone an awful
physical strain Tho heart and stomach
have been made to do double duty, that of
the lungs and their own function com
bined, with more ofton only II half of tho
room required to do 1t in from the com
pressing force Of stays Consequently one
of the most graceful actions that n woman
Is called on most often to illustrate Is
transformed by tho ignorance Of few
rules of physical culture into one Of tho
most ludicrous and sorry sights imagina-
Bile.
Tho woman who clutches her skirts in
front midway between the hip and knee,
bends her body from tho hips almost into
bow and drags up, laboriously exhaust
ing her vital energies at every step, Is
making foolish and ridiculous mistake,
for which sho suffers severely long before
arriving Mt the top.
Ono Of tho handsomest pictures painted
of feminine beauty is that Of lovely
woman ascending a flno old staircase. Her
slender figure is gracefully Greet her love-
+ ly faco on the columnlike throat turned
half over her shoulder. Tho arms arc bare
and droop with perfectly natural grace to
her knees, where the silkcn skirts are
daintily lifted to allow the FREQ play Of
tiny slippcrcd feet. The lady is in the act
Of ascending and seems TO float upward,
the personincation Of grace itself.
One imagines they cun see her catch her
silken skirt Mt either knee, lifting it just
to tho ankle expand her chest, hold her
shoulders well back and her arms down
then the slender body rests squarcly on
the hips, not dragging forward, and
standing perfectly erect, she glides up
ward, easily and gracefully. Exchange.
