In every instance where there are such mem
bers in our association, the name of each ap-
plicant presented for the approval of the COM
mittee must be proposed and seconded by
members OF the Colonial State Society which
the applicant desires to enter.
This organization is not, as some
imagine, mutual ancestral admiration
society, for the value of the records and
relics rescued from oblivion by these ladies
cannot be overestimated, and the more
complete the knowledge of the history of
our country the greater will be the pride
and interest manifested in it's progress,
and even now the beneficial results of such
societies are to be felt. Mrs Selden s.
Wright, the first chairman appointed for
California, has not only many Virginian
ancestors, but almost as many illustrious
ones from the North. Mrs. Wright is in all
respects most remarkable woman, broad
and progressive in her ideas. and, although
a great-grandmother, accomplishes more
every day OF her life than many an active
young woman. 1t is owing to her wise
guidance that the Colonial Society In this
State is fiourishing so greatly, for she has

chairman appointed as her secretary Mrs.
George A. Crux, as treasurer Mrs Joseph

Mrs. George A. Crux was the first mem
Der to become dame from California,
having been admitted to the Virginia So
ciety on the 22d of January, 1894, through
more than dozen noted patriotic ances-
tors who lived In Virginia and MARYLAND.
Mrs. Cyrus Elwood Brown (nee Bergen) is
of a well-known historical family which
has resided for many generations in Brook

and interesting one, and she comes in

The skirt has bands of lawn embroidered

edging of yellow lace, applied with a
niche-iike effect. The blue lisse vest, ac-
Gordon pleated, is covered by a vest of
fine Brussels lace. The bodice is of

with white straw hat and white feathers.
Baronne Alphonse de Rothschild was in
black and white silk, with a capote of
black velvet mixed with white tulle and
white feathers. Nine. Carroll was in white
spotted muslin over pink silk, with belt of
pink satin and white straw hat and
feathers mixed with marguerites. Com
Jesse LIE Marois looked well in ecru mus

and white feathers with mauve flowers
intermixed. The young Comtesse de Cas-
tellane was in pink, with a bolero of rich
old lace over the bodice; black straw hat,
with white lace and white feathers"
Many frocks had long sashes, and.
speaking of the boleros, reminds me that
they are not only of lace, as chine silk is
also used and lace inserted lawn is effec-
tive. They reach within quarter of a
yard of the waist and are square back and
front, but of course have no sleeves.
Those of lace are all mace over cream
muslin and finished with q narrow lisse
pleating.
The latest collars are reported to be cut
in novel form. They are lined with
muslin and are of heavy satin, cut on the
cross, and fasten at the back with a wind
mill bow, which is posed very high against
the neck and composed of loop and ears.
Such bows require at least one yard and a
half of ribbon. Long, slender-throated
women will rejoice in this style.
The sashes are long, and as the ends fall
to the hem of the skirt black satin ribbon
is preferred. Many taffetas bodices for
slim figures are made 18th Swiss corselet

One greatly admired Partisan gown is of
the finest clearest white muslin entirely
made over white taffeta. The skirt is
beautifed with black lace insertions ar
ranged IN the form of great Louis XVI
knots. On each of the sleeve .puffs one of
them is artistically applied. A corselet
and ruff of yellow satin give it an air of
great chic. With it is worn pale pink
hat wreathed with crushed shaded pink
roses; from the left side a large black
aigrette arises. Black gloves complete
this costume.
Charming must be a dress of q light
linen. 1t is transparent, and gray in
color. Insertions are let in the skirt and
bodice of the same shade, and the whole
collar is over apple green silk. The collar
and waistband are of black satin.
Equally fascinating is q model carried
out in gray dust linen. 1t has wide black
lace insertion laid on fiat on the skirt in
vandyked pattern.

of yet another ''Prix" gown, which is
doubtless beautiful, but ( should say far
too elaborate for such an occasion.
1t was of mauve taffetas covered with
hounces of Vaienciennes lace up to the
waist. The lace was about FIVE inches
wide and had kind of open lace heading
that made the lace fall well, and under
each row of lace was pleating of mauve
net to Keep it from falling fat. The
bodice was covered with lace laid on fat,
and the sleeves were Valenciennes and
mauve net mixed at the top, and the lace
tight over the mauve from the elbow to
the wrist, q good deal of mauve net and
lace round the neck; the capote worn
with this secured a wreath of shaded
mauve peoples close together with aigrette
of mauve irises, and just pink flower on
one side to enliven the sameness of the
mauve. 1t was charming costume.
Strange as it may seem blue tulle hats
are being trimmed with mauve orchids

OF an artists brush, and it Is said that the
Strand looked like we'll LAID out flower
garden in full bloom. The unusual warmth
caused most of the capes and collets to be
laid aside. AS a result the gowns were
plainly seen. Almost all of them were
made with round waists, some tight fitting,
with revers and lace trimming; others
were regular blouses, well drawn in at tt e
walstline. The deep corselet waistband,
which l have mentioned several times,
was worn by many. The skirts were plain.
and hung faultlessly. They were of mo-
hairs, silks and other firm fabrics. The
muslin skirts were trimmed, but all trim
mings were either inserted or let in plain.
The elegantes were dressed with striking
simplicity; linens and foulards predomi-
mated. The latter were covered with large
scrolls, or japanesque designs in white,
the grounds being usually either dark blue
or black.
Even the Parisiaus show great reluc-
lance to give up the large full sleeves,
they who are usually so ready to accept
every novelty. As a result, on this occa-
sion many voluminous sleeves were COM
mented on, but the tight ones with the
Valvis puff at the top were much in evil
dence. The bolero has been revived, and
is usually of guipure over the bodice. 1t
has come back iii fuller and shorter
form. A correspondent writes: The re-
served stand OF the Jockey Club was full
of elegantes in very simple dresses, few

WHY 1900 ISN'T A LEAP YEAR.
Statement by an Inquiring News Reporter
Who Looked II Up.

There has been considera BILE talk about
leap year and about 1900 not being leap
year, although divisible by four. Nobody
has told how long the solar year is, how
ever, in order that we may know how
much time is left over the S65 days to
make an extra day every four years.
Neither does anybody tell us why there
will be no leap year for eight years, or il
1t occurs so every century or every 400
years. OF course Ii may be found in the
encyclopedia, but everybody hasn't an
encyclopedia and yet the knowledge
should be common. The length OF a COM
mon year is 365 days, b hours, 48 minutes
aud 40 seconds of mean solar time. 1t
seems that according to the Julian cal
endar the equinox got oct of place be-
cause Julian had IL minutes and II seconds
too many every year and in 800 years IL
amounted to three days, SO Pope Greg
ory XII directed that 10 days be suppress
aed from the calendar. He ordered the
intercalations, or insertion of odd
days, to be omitted on all centenary
years, excepting those which are multi
plies of 400. According to the Gregorian
rule OF intercalation, every year of
which the number is divisibls by four
without a remainder is leap year, except
ing the centurial wears which are only
leap years when divisible by four with
out remainder after omitting the two
ciphers. Thus. 1900 was leap year, but
100, 1900 and 1900 ares common years,
while 20oo will be leap year, and SO on.
