The shirt waist is back again. That
means happiness to every woman that
draws the breath of life. There is
nothing in the world that woman
dotes on more than the inevitable
SHIRT waist. Ask any one of them
what she thinks of shirt waists. In
variably she will answer: "Shirt
waists? Why, l live in them when
the season permits. -
The new shirt waist for the ap-
preaching season has now reached the
height of perfection. It has taken
several seasons, however, OF expert
mentation to come to this crisis. The
new models are beautiful.
The sleeve and the collari They
are the most important details of the
shirt waist, and this season they are
going to be subjected to a new treat
ment. In the first place, that ugly,
loose bishop sleeve that drooped SO
forlorny all last summer is absolutely
dead and gone. In its place there
will DO a much more graceful and
stylish substitute. The new sleeve
looks like an old abbreviated leg OF
mutton. II has modest amount OF
fullness at the shoulder, and when
starched stands out about ten inches
from the arm.
Now for the cuff itself. The most
fashionable cut will be the square one,
made quite large and wide, aud of the
same material rs the shirt body ia
the golf waists, which are only slightly
modified designs of the tailored waist,
the cuff is built smaller and closes on
itself, fastening with a button and
button hole. The link cuffs, however,
seem more chic and are far more con
venient to adjust On account OF the
extrome stiffness.
The new collar is not detachable as
it was last season. 1t is constructed
OF the same material as the goods, and
Is the regular upright "ahoker." The
turn-aown collar is quite passe. But
that does not constitute the whole OF
the new collar. 1t is built with an
extension so TO speak. 4 white linen
Tip" comes with it that folds over the
upper edge aud is kind Of flap that

well, and are adjustable in both cases.

FASHION NOTES.

The softest shades of tan are correct
for gloves now that we have SO much
color in our gowns.
The surplico effect, or any other
crossed-over model, is rather LEADING
the persistent little bolero, and in
some instances the surplice bodice has
long scarf ends of lace, falling from
the belt at the point where the waist
fastens.
Great favor is shown the double
warp cashmeres that so closely resum.
bic drap d'ete. In colored goods the
broken checks with several dyes hand
somely blended seem to predominant.
and these prove more serviceable than
plain colors for general wear on any
fabric but serge, which has proved
itself to be the peer of any utility
material known.
A skirt litter which is bound to
work, and is quite equal to the dispo-
sltion OF the numerous godets in our
full skirts, is apractieal novelty which
IS sure to appeal to every woman. 1t
IS simple arrangement OF black rib
bon, silk braid, and tiny rings, which
aie sewn on i'll eight places on the in
sido OF tue skirt at the back, more
than half way down. BY hooking the
end OF the ribbon to the waist band
the skirt is caught up evenly aud
gracefully all around.
Yelling with large dots is decidedly
passe, and all the latest Novelties have
very iiue dots, many OF them none at
all, aud are very thin, fine, and fancy
as to mesh, which is in all sorts OF
plaids, checks and wszea lines. One
style OF yelling is hbination OF
fine white malino nat hdor n black

white dots fastening the nets together.

As EASILY pREssEp AS A MAN.

We are constantly hearing women
express the belief that they would be
quite free from strain in the matter of
dress if they could always be as sure
of the proper thing to wear as a man.
With a man, six o'clock means a dress
suit or a Tuxedo. AS @ matter of fact,
a woman may be equally free from
doubt upon the subject. If she chooses,
she can lay down safe law unto her.
self. Six o'clock may always mean
evening dress to her, when she is GER
tain that she is not going to touch
shoulders with the public. She dis
eliminates between q high and low
necked gown as a man between his
full dress suit and his Tuxedo. No
well dressed woman appears at the
theatre with her shoulders uncovered,
but she may put on low necked gown
for the most informal dinner at q
private house, privided the gown is
not too elaborate.
The fashion magazines have done
much to give erroneous ideas of the
manner in which New York women
dress upon certain occasions. The
well dressed woman in the city usually
confines herself to three well defined
lines of dress. These are the strictly
simple tailor made dress for morning
and street wear, the more extensively
trimmed gown for the theatre and
informal dinners, and the regulation
evening apparel. With four gowns
each winter, if she be in modest cir
cumstances, woman may go auy-
where, and yet be sure that she is
always appropriately and becomingly
attired. She is the wise woman who,
putting all OF her outlay upon these
four dresses, has them well and rightly
made, for she need give herself as
little concern about her clothes as q
Puritan.

An effort will be made during this
Congress to have the number Of Cab
met officers increased to nine. The
proposition being agitated is to create
Cabinet Department of Commerce and
Industry, says the Washington Star.
The first Cabinet, that of Washington,
consisted of five members. The Sec
rotary OF State was paid $500 a year,
and the others $4,000 each. War and
Navy formed one department, and
there was no Department of the In
terror or of Agriculture. The first
increase in the number of Cabinet
officers was under President Jefferson.
who had a Secretary of the Navy and
a Secretary Of War, instead of the two
offices being in ore. The number re-
manned at six until President Taylor's
term, when Secretary of the Inter.
ior was added. Just before the close
Of President Cle7eland's first term the
Department of Agriculture was estab-
lished and Secretary of Agriculture
was created. Prior to that there had
been Commissioner of Agriculture.
The salaries of the Cabinet officers
have been increased from time to time.
until now they are $4,000 each per
year. During the first three or four
administrations Of the United States
the Cabinets were not composed ex-
cluslvely of men who agreed in pol
itics. Washington'a administration
was kept in a state of turmoil by the
