An exchange has this to say about my
ladys last modish fad:

have been more in favor than ever, as
I they do away with both bulk and weight
THE Understandable woman, of course,
has her tights made TO order, and pays a
few dollars extra for the privilege. Occa-
siOnally it happens that a woman is so

ready-made tights, and then the extra dol
lrs are a necessity: but usually the Gus
tom-made tights are the best to be found
Tights usually come in two lengths-to the
/ knee and to the ankle. The ankle length
tights are, of course, the more desirable,
as they are held in shape by the shoe tops

binary tights that will neither pull apart
nor crack range in prce from s. to S. a
pair. These are all wool, we'll woven and
durable. The cheaper grades, at $1.50 and
$685. are not guaranteed goods, nor are
are the silken weave, soft, flexible and
fitting the body like an extra layer of
skin Eight dollars is the least that silk
tights can be purchased for, and the price
/ of the better grades runs from SIS to 500.
1.-THE woman who once gives herself up
/ to the doubtful joys of tights a sub
stitute for underwear when wearing a
! tailor gown is pretty sure to feel the fas-
| cination exerted by these garments of
? questionable reputation until she mas
herself discarding entirely ordinary femi-
nine underwear and purchasing tights for
/ her bicycle suit, tights to go with her
/ equestrienne habit and even refuses to
indulge in the frou-frou of lace and lawn
/ under her party frocks.
THE following is the practical method
/ of measuring for tights; First, from waist
to ankle then from waist to knee, around
the waist, about the thigh, about the knee,
about the calf and about the ankle. Fash
fonable tailors who make tights to order
have women assistants, a part of whose
duty it is to take these measurements.
Mrs. Cleveland's frequent social appear
ances lately, says the New York Times,
have shown very clearly that the strong
fascination which her presence always ex-
erted among women has not lessened the
VerieSt 1ot. She is the most interesting
woman in the country to-day, particularly
in the fact that people never tire of look
ing at her. No one was ever yet heard
to say that he had been able to watch
her quite as long as he would have liked.
A great many people now know her inti-
mately and are able to see her frequently:
intimacy is denied, the only opportuni-
ties come with the important functions
at the white house.
At one of Mrs. Cleveland's teas recently
perhaps 1000 women had the pleasure of
shaking hands with her, and at the same
time enjoyed little chat. 1t would have
been hard to find any woman in all this
number who, after this enjoyment, did
not find some point from which she could
hostess. Every detail of her appearance,
every ornament she wore, and every word
she said was discussed and admired.
Don't you think she is handsomer
than eVer?' said one.
II wish could wear my hair as simply
arranged as Mrs. CleXelandap said an
"She seems to fascinate me; l can't take
my eyes from her"
So it went, the same admiring COM
ments and the same pleasure taken in
even looking at her, as everybody remem-
bers so wildly the first year of her resi-
dence in the white house
In evening dress Mrs. Cleveland is the
handsomest woman to-day in Washing
ton. She has a beautiful neck and well
rounded shoulders, and, with the sparkle
of her Jewels making a picture of a white
house mistress which is simply regal Her
smile is contagious, for her manners are
always agreeably gracious.
Ruth and Esther and baby Marian are
miniatures of their mother. The two ell
der girls love to get a glimpse of the
to do it have to peep through the balus-
tiers of the big stairway, which is their
tower of observation. They talk German
with their fraulein with the greatest ease
Mrs. Cleveland is seen on the street oc-
casionally, walking in the mornings or
driving around among the shops. She is
the most devoted of mother and is never
away from the children at night. This
has done way with the little shopping
her so much pleasure during her first resi-
dence in Washington.
A domestic millennium is at hand, IL the
plans of the Orange Improvement Society
at Orange, n. j., do not fall through.
March / will see a training school for do
nestle servants in full sway. Girls of all
nationalities, irrespective of creed or
color are to be given free course Of in
struction in the ethics of household work.
The scheme of such an institution was
originated over a year ago by Mrs. Louis
Dubois Galison, at the time of her cleo
ton as president Of the improvement So
ciety. Through her efforts the Domestic
Training. School Association was organ
lied with the avoWed object of establish
ing a school in which the pupils should
be trained for positions in any branch of
domestic service, with opportunities to
receive special instruction in cooking,
chamber and laundry departments as the
talent of any one pupil might indicate
especial fitness.
