! this season, and bright red has evil
IDENTIFY taken the place of navy or pale
blue in yachting suits. The skirts are
worn rather shorter than the usual
walking length. A rich costume was
made by us for the young daughter of
an American millionaire, who crosses
the Atlantic yearly on his own beauti-
full steamer, to attend the Cannes
regattaS. 1t consists of red and white
cloth. The skirt of red cloth is cut in
one with a short belt or empire bodice
closing in the back and giving a prin-
cess effect. Several rows of machine
stitching decorate the hem and white
braided galloons run from the bodice
downward along the seams. A white
cashmere blouse pouches over the en-
pire belt and forms a fiat plastron in
front, which is embroidered with the
yachts ensign in miniature at the
chest, is edged on both sides with a
narrow red silk pleating. The high
collar of white cashmere has a full
gy, but not full, and is finished at the
wrist by a band embroidered with a
red anchor. The dainty zouave jacket
to be worn with this costume is of red
cloth like the skirt, and is cut in sack
shape, reaching just below the top of
the belt; it opens in front over the
white blouse and is fastened with white
galloons. The large white sailor and !
wide fiaring cuffs are heavily braided |
with red, and the white cap is encireled
with a gold band interviewer with the
yachts colors.
Red does not confine itself to yacht /
ing alone. but seems to be preferred for |
all sporting costumes, as it has the /
advantage over other colors of its re-
sistance to the fading rays of the sun,
besides softening the appearance of the
door exercise. Red blouses with white
polka dots, white linen collar and white
silk cravat are worn on the wheel with !
white pique skirts and red or black
high laced boots. The accompanying
small round hat is trimmed with red
ribbon and bows.
Bicycle skirts are worn much short

Glasgow, July 12.-The time for
yachting and yacht racing is at hand,
and costumers are forced to rack their
brains for novelties which adhere to
| fashion and yet bear the time-honored
stamp of craftsmanship We hope
that the model of out natty yachting
suit will meet with the approval of the
interested American public.
Heavy white drill and plaid Victoria
tartan Ca new heavy colored cotton
stuff constitutes the costume. The
skirt. closefitting at the top, and far
ing at the foot, is of white drill and is
trimmed at the hem with band of
Victoria tartan three inches in width
The blouse of white drill shows the
latest loosefitting model with box pleats
to give extra fullness at both sides OF
the front and at the center of the
back Large square reveres trimmed
with band of the plaid tartan open
wide over a vest of white drill, en-
broidered on the chest with a red an
Choir. The vest continues as a yoke
al the back, and large sailor collar,
likewise trimmed with a band of the
plaid material extends deep down the
back. a novel arrangement is shown
in the sailor cravat of tartan, which
being fastened under the reveres, is
tied in graceful knots over the bust,
while the ends are tucked into the
plaid belt. The very ample sleeves
have a cuff Of plain tartan and the
jaunty white drill cap is adorned in
front with button showing the
yachts private ensign.

ovals or envelopes, were often further
embellished by delicately painted
wreaths and flowers, and by the sen
timental verses of the day, written
upon space left for them.
Sometimes the cut papers were
merely considered as works of art, and
as such were mounted on black hair
cloth and framed. No paste was used
in the mounting, as the papers were
too delicate, and besides it would have
yellowed them. The edges were sim

and the glass put over them to hold
them in place.
These large cut papers were often
done in memory Of some one loved

About 80 years ago a little dwarf,
Miss Hunnywell, made herself quite
famous as a professional paper cutter.
and it was considered the thing"
among the young gentlemen of that
day to have watch paper cut by Miss
HunnyweH.
The manner of her cutting was very
ingenious, for she had neither hands
nor feet. On her right shoulder was
something like a thumb. on her left
side something that might pass for a
hand with two fingers, and with these
and her mouth she managed to cut out
the most exquisite designs and lace
with marvellous raDidity.
Her work was so much in demand.

the time of Miss Hunnywell or Mistress
Nicholas 1t is some time early in 100
that Mrs. Delaney, in her 'AutobiO-
graphy and Correspondence" writes OF
her closet at the farm as decorated
with little drawings and cut papers Of
my own doing"
Later on, when spe sSing/of a young
Mr. Twyford. who was deeply in love
with her, she says:
His mothers cruel treatment of him.
and absolute refusal of her consent for
his marrying me, affected him so deep
Nv as to throw him into the palsy. He
lived in this wretched state about a
year after my marriage. After he was
dead thew found under his pillow a cut
paper that he had stolen out of my
closet at the Farm"
When Mrs. Delaney was over 20 years
old, she made her first attempt at
copying flowers in cut paper
Her manner of doing it was thus de-
scribed: Having a piece OF Chinese
paper on the table of a bright scarlet,
a geranium caught her eye of a similar
color, and taking her scissors, she
amused herself in cutting out each
flower by her eye in the paper. She
laid the paper petals on a black back
ground. and was so pleased with the
effect that she proceeded to cut out
the calyX, stalks and leaves in shades
of green, and pasted them down, and
after she completed a sprig of geranium
in this way the Duchess of Portland
came in and exclaimed, What are you
doing with that geranium2' having
taken the paper imitation for the real
flower"
This was the beginning of the col
lection of cut-paper flowers. which, be-
fore her death, numbered $50 sheets,
each one different.

peared now. as has Mistress Nicholas

ART OF PAPER CUTTING.
An Accomplishment of the Last Cen
tury Revived.

The quaint old accomplishment of
paper cutting has become almost a
lost art, except where it is still re-
membered by a few old ladies as hav-
ing been fashionable when they We're
young. Perhaps some of them can
still take a piece of paper and a pair
of scissors and cut out designs. but
their hands are too old and tremulous
to execute as delicate and complex pat
terms as they used 70 make.
The designs for these cut papers
were never drawn, but the paper was
generally doubled so that the pattern,
when unfolded, was duplex, giving a
certain regularity.
The girls of 80 years ago became very
skilfull at this work, and one lady tells
of often seeing her old mother as the
family sat talking after dinner, draw
out a pair of small scissors pick anv
envelop or bit of paper, and. seemingly
without any thought or trouble, cut out

the dwarf, travelling from place to
place, and exhibiting herself and her
work, earned quite a little fortune. 1t
was enough to make her a mark for
rogue, who married her. and then ran
away with her money, leaving her pen
niIess.
It is said that after he deserted her
the little dwarf would never cut papers
again. and died in an absolute state Of
Denrry.
There was a certain Mistress Dolly
Nichols of Petersburg, who was quite
wonderful at this art of paper cutting,
and her drawing room was decorated
with a whole series of pictures from
Mazeppa. wild horses and all. which she
cut out without the aid of pencil or
any guide but her own fancy.

A CONTENTED WOMAN TONIGHT.
Hoyfs Latest Success to he Pre-
scented Mt the Academy.

Charles II. Hoyts latest effort, "a Con-
tented Woman" will be presented here
for the first time this evening and to-
morrow afternoon and evening at the
Academy of Music.
"a Contented Woman" like all Of Mr.
Hoyt's comedies, is a satire. this time
upon the most remarkable character in
the realms Of fiction, "a Contented Wo-
man." Mr.. Hoyt has been lavish i'm the
expenditure Of money in making this a
production that will appeal TO the eye
as well as the ear. Every accessory
that can possibly add to the success Of
the play has been carefully chosen, and
he has engaged clever people to fill the
characters in the cast.
Belle Archer, who created such a Juror
last season i'm the difficult role of "The
Widow" in "a Milk-W mite Flag" will
be seen in the title role. There is an
abundance of tuneful and catchy music
brought into the farce.
On Friday evening only Carroll &
Kerker's charming light opera, "Kis-
mot" receives its first production in this
city, The success that Camille DAT
Vile and Richard +. Carroll made I'm the
opera has made its name familiar TO
nearly every admirer Of comic opera.
Both the former stars have found new
operas, and this season the production
has been entrusted to the Minerva Dorr
Opera Company. a thoroughly capable
organization.
The story of "Kismet," told in two
acts, hinges upon the deceit of the Sui
tan, who brings up her daughter as a
boy to secure him the throne. The false
son "Kismet" wishes to secure a de-
sirable husband for his supposed sister
HaideeZ. From this brief reference 10
the very amusing plot may readily be
seen what droll complications ensue be-
fore matters are Strengthened out The
part of "Kismet" is played by Minerva
Dorr, while Edwin Carroll plays the
part Of Haideez, a role full of humor,
which is made uproarously funny by
this clever comedian. The supporting
is an excellent one, and in |
,ludes forty people, including the chorus |
