Henry Harding Carter died suddenly in the
seth year of his age, leaving widow TO
mourn his loss. Deceased was the eldest

compelled to retire from business about two
wears ago. He leaves number of relatives
and many friends in this county.

the wearcr turn her head and a startling
bit of brightness meets your eye.
The wearer of the toque l admired had q
large, weighty seal sacQue. 1t had the big
dropping shoulders of the winters coats,
with the tightcncd effect at the elbows

of the coat was tight. In London now they

the loose-backed coat. but not She.
The skirt underneath this extrayagant
seaiskin was a Scotch plaid in small rcd
strips and large black squares Is that
Gordon? They called it so. but doubted
it. 1t seemed to me more like a hybrid
plaid invented more for it's beauty than In
accordance with the tradition of plaids.
SKATE BAGS.
All the young women carry their skates in
skate-bags. and some novel ones have been
invented for this purpose. Satin is the
favorite material, and to strengthen it there
is lining of linen. The bag is in the same
conception as the skating suit. The Scotch
plaid dress had bag of pale red that looked
quite white beside the dress, but carried out
its tone. Several skate-bags are made In
the pattern of old-fashioned reticulcs and
have the same quaint appearance.
The most amazing thing about the
fashions Of the streets, as one now sees
them here, is the way the gowns and
cloaks are planned so as to increase the
apparent size of the wearer. There is
not sylph in all Paris today, Judging
from her evident ayoirdupois. Some of
the devices are funny when shorn of
their exterior, but all are becoming, for
the plump girl is coming in style again.
Aestheticism has lest its favor here.
The hips OF all the skating gowns are
made to flare. This is done in several
ways. 1 noticed one pretty skater had
a ripping basque, the ripples being fined
with pink silk. Another had a ripping
coat OF boucle, tie ripples in the tall of
this lined with white SILK.
There are many hip bustles. These are
like the sleeve pads. They may be Of

and these have circular fronts that fit
closely over the hips and hang in godets
below. Generally these fall in front in q
great box plcat. and with this wide shape
there are commonly only two organ cores
at the back.
Black velvet is more seen than colored.
and the skirts are usually plain and lined
with silk in some dainty hue or else pure
white.
HARMONIOUS DECORATIONS.
Theoutside decoration is confined entirely
to the bodice, and if this is in a jacket shape,
there are sometimes chinchilla reyers that
turn back from u white satin front, en-
broidered With tinsel threads and paste
gems.
Again this front may be veiled with plain
chiffon. OF chiffon appliqued with designs

is narrow belt of tinsel braid that fastens
in front with a jewel buckle.
Jet is much in favor with both blac and
colored velvet, and there are some very
beautiful yokes and long cuff pieces for
the bottoms of the sleeves seen in it. Splen-
did jet buttons. as large as fifty-cent pieces.
and others of filagree gold and Rhine
stones and ooioTed gems, are also used.

numbers, three at the utmost each side OF

AN ELEGANT MODEL.
The velvet gown illustrated is a becoming
and manageable model to follow. 1t is
of black with lining throughout of white
silk, and yoke, girdle, and. cuffs OF jet.
The jet yoke finishes at the throat in a
tail band that curves slightly outward
at the top to give ease to the head, and the
round bodice fastens at the left side. 1t
hangs loosely over the yoke in 4 somewhat

front. Jet holding it trinity to the waist
The skirt is the circular model described.
but the sleeves, though cut all i'll on gigot-
fashion, are entirely new in their effect.
The closely fitted bottoms are heavily
jetted i'll the elaborate pattern OF the yoke,
and a novel look is given the puff by drag
ging up all the fGliness at the inside seam
almost to the Grrn-i;ole. This gives the
sleeve the effect OF the puff being separate
from the cuff portion, and lends a grace
ful slimness to the figure.
The chinchiIla collar pictures modish
wrap FOR such costume, further warmth
being supplied on Interest weather by
an underwaist OF perforated chamois.
The lining OF this is gray silk, and the
cape portion is made so full that it folds
over et the shoulders i'll pleats. The long
stole ends, which in this case are tied with
big rosettes of black chiffon, are a novel
and becoming finish to the front.
CHIFFoN's POPULARITY.
Apropos OF black chiffon, it is said at
the shops that there is now more de-
mand for it than ever. No matter what
the color or texture OF the gown, the
fashionable bodice is almost sure to have
touch OF this silky stuff somewhere, and
gains thereby in distinction.

The beauty of the costume, from the

is secured by much Padding. The padding
in this case was quilted satin, white and

the front lap. They were carefully letter

the white silk pockets that were in the
skirt OF the bodice.
These little pockets are much to be found

are set In the tails Of coats, as men have
pockets, and they are let into Sits cut In

This skating girl had them in her cuffs. I

When asked how she liked her role in

over it:

she said, .'he promised that l should have

He was greatly pleased with my coDcep-

charmingly about my success. But La

standpoint OF an opera, as it has been in
America, but merely as an episode

The contrast was remarkable, the latter
looking conspicuous and far from grace

out initiating a masculine swagger and
tlIrusting her hands in her pockets. She was
not an impressive figure, all her femininity
having disappeared.
There is skirt which English women
are wearing FOR cycling which gives per-
feet freedom, and makes life ON wheels
worth living. The peculiarity OF this
skirt is the clever introduction OF wide
trouser, which gives the freedom of a
knickerbocker with the appearance Of an
ordinary walking skirt. It is made OF
serge or tweed, lined with silk. A blouse
and short jacket are worn to complete the
costume.

.Oh, yes" she said; ''in ophe!ia my

how she had frequented studios and watched
artists painting portraits. and from them
had learned to treat the lower lids in such
a way as TO give her eyes the effect or
being blue. She added that, like the pic

at hand was extraordinary.

the coarse worn leather shoes OF the peasant.

conversation, said TO the that the perfect

she lays many flowers around their brim

with stiff little ribbon bows. But, of
course, there is a flower upon them. Who
