Fashion has borrowed fror, our pictur-

Russian blouse, has instituted it as prime
favorite, which admits of the greatest va

made of the softest gauZe and richest silk
or cloth 1t is worn decollete, with just
an apology for sleeve, or with high col
lar, furbelowed, and with long sleeves.
A shirt trent of white lace frills appears
With some Of the Russian waists when they
are opened, turning back the velvet or satin
facing; this reveals fancy front when the
blouse is worn in the house.
The blouses have a full or plain back and
a round, frilled or slashed basque piece
As they are wcrn to match, or contrast
With the skirt. they become a very con-
venient garment.
Brdiding is the most appropriate trim
ming. and is done in satin on some of the
handsomest models.
Some of the skirts worn with these
blouses have several rows OF braid, or satin
fcits an inch apart, set high at the back
ara brought lew in front to form sharp
This gives a tall slender effect to the
hSrr7. and therefore particularly adapts

merits. has tendency to make the figure
appear shortwaisted and broad hand

A Street Gown.
A most practical model for a winter street
gown shows the combination of black and
red, and is so simple, yet elegant that #
is worthy of imitation. The skirt is of black
satin. cut TO fit the figure tightly over the
hips. and faring cut rather abruptly from
the knee downward. A stiff inte-.inine is
used at the hem. The trimming consists
OF heavy, black soutache, narrow strips of
black Persian lamb attached to the satin
IN form of the vandyke point spoken of
above. reaching low in front and extend
ing higher over the hips at the back
With the skirt can be worn any fancy
blouse or shirt waist; since for outdoor
wear. Ii is entirely covered by a Russian
blouse of heavy red broadcloth lined with
satin and interliued with thick canton fan
mel The fullness of the blouse is gathered
at the waist into belt, covered with
black silk soutache. There is no basque.
Riack soutache and lambs wool also trims
and edges the trent CT the blouse The
Sleeves are almost tight, with the trim

Winter ClOaks.
While the short Russian blouse and Eton
jackets hold their own for complete cos
tunes, indeI endent outside jackets and
garments are shown in such variety of
forms and lengths that it is difficult to
declare Just what style of cloak will be
the most favored during the coming sea-
sen. The opinion prevails among leading
authorities that longer garments will be
adopted this year.
Newnarkets and listers, such as were
worn years ago, figure among the newest
creations, and the season Is constantly
bringing forth new IDEAS in long cloaks

POe's "BellS."

From John Sartan's Recolections.
The famous poem of 1.-The Bells was first
published in Sartain's Magazine. received
three versions of the poem The first COPY
was a conglomeration of jingling words
constructed in eighteen meaningless lines.
1t ran as follows:
THE bells hear the bells,
The merry wedding bells,
The little silver bells,
How fairy-like moncdy there swells
From the silver-iinklng cells of the bells
The bells, ah. the bells!
The heavy iron bells,
Hear the tolling of the bells;
Hear the knells;
How horribl: monody there floats
From their Threats!
From their deep toned threats;
How l shCdder at the notes
From the melancholy Threats
OF the bells of the BELLS
l did not publish the above lines at first,
for do not believe, even to this day. that
they possess any extraordinary merit As
might be expected, the author became in
censed, and. after an unsatisfactory expla-
nation on my part as to why the poem was
not published. wrote second version more
elaborate and extensive than the original
which 1 likewise declined TO publish. iIx-
plantations and outbursts of indigna ton
were again in order, though they were all
forgotten upon my acceptance and promul-
cation of a third version. none other than
THE Bells we know today.

Latest In Hairpins.

From Harper's Bazaar.
One of the girls who has just unpacked
her well-filled trunks from Paris has dis
closed to view the loveliest hair pins i'm
aginable. They are novelties here and fill
long-felt want. What girl likes to have
short hairs struggling about her meek :?
When they curl naturally that is a differ
ent thing. Now the latest tip from Paris
is TO wear pins which are so shaped as to
gather up and keep in place all hayward
hairs at the back of the head.
These pins come in different designs, and
those we have just seen are of both the
expensive and inexpensive kind. One was
a plain gold band with lovely little dia-
mond daisy in the center, which looked so
pretty nesting in the hair. Another was
plain tortoise-shell band for morning wear
and still another was wreath Of pearls
and turquoise. This girl who has brought
over all these pretty things says that many
OF the French women wear two pins of this
sort-one at the back of the hair, and one
on top to keep the Pompadour puff, so
much the fashion just now, In place. These
pins are made on fiat band, with a clasp
lire safety pin. II any one OF the girls
should have pretty bar pin, 1t would not
be either an expensive or difficult matter
to have 1t made into one of these hair pins,
which are now so much the rage.

No city in all broad England, with the

he might have added I'm praise of its eli
mate as a winter home that its protecting
heights of Lansdown and Bathwick give
passage to none of those icy blasts which
sweep at times over the Tuscan city from
the ''wind-grieved Apennines." Its archi-
lecture. il not SO light and graceful
that of the south, has a solid and stately
character of its own: and the Arno itself
flows rot more sweetly than the Avon
through its peaceful pastures to the Severn

traction of its healing waters rather than
to its charm OF site or antiquity of history,
