PAINTER OF DOGS MINIATURES

Dogs with their strong personalities
have always had charm for Mrs
Jzora Chandler, and after careful in
struction in the use of brush and pen
ell she resolved to devote her talents
to portraying them. When the art OF
miniature painting revived she re
| ceiyed orders to reproduce on ivory the
pictures of cherished pets. me nrsC
! one was done for a well known society
woman. who by accident lost a fox ter
rier to which she was much attached.
To immortalize this little creature a
miniature was painted. 1t was mem
orv ONLY. but it comforted the dlscon-
ISOLATE mistress. Then gentleman
owner of a kennel had a number OF his
prize dogs painted, some slngly, some
! in groups and when finished they were
placed as a decorative bit for his prl-
vate office. Crowned with success and
encouraged in this line, a business for
Mrs. Chandler sprang uD in this al
rection. There were also art dealers
who thought that dogs sketched in OIL
or painted on ivory would meet the de-
mands of their customers, which they
did.
A quick eye and good memory are
also required to really know ana s SUI,
what position to give them. Then
comes the task of making the creature
perfectly motionless and when that is
ACCOMPLISHED how to take that exact
position when the next sitting comes
around.
Mrs. Chandler has endless stories to
tell of the canine race when Dells
painted. She declares they are a good
deal like human beings-one is selflsh,
another obstinate and do what you

s,1lks. they glory in them, and one
should be possessed of a good stock or
patience if a successful miniature is TO
be secured. At one time there was
brought into her studio two beautiful
Italian greyhounds. These dogs were
TO be painted together. After much
trouble the position was gained When
ALL was in readiness Mrs. Chambers
own small fox terrier growled, and so
the whole thing had to be done over
again. At last the sitting was finished
for that day and the dogs bowed cut.
On her return Mrs. Chandler found ner
little dog sitting on the same rug IN
the very Identical pose assumed by the
erevhounds. his paws raised and on his
face the most pleasant expression pos
sihle and there he remained until he
was sketched. When shown the PIC
ture he lay down on the floor fully
satisfied and happy
But dogs of all degrees know that
Mrs Chandler is their friend. When
once in the studio they find out very
quickly where the sugar is kept. where
the tea bisquets are and the pretty
bowl full of water. So much Is this
artist en- rapport with these knowing
animals that she has given them
place in literature Many children have
doubtless read the charming story OF

St Petersburg, March 29-For sew
eral weeks the elegante has looked su-
perciliously at her winter wear and has
turned to the gorgeous and varying dis
play of dainty spring and summer
goods in the windows of the leading
shops She finds that fashion permits
her to be more elegant at smaller cost
than ever. There are worsteds for out
door wear, checked or striped or inter
woven with silk. For gowns of cere-
mony. rich silks and velvets and satin
brocades are chosen by married women.
Moire. beautiful as it is. is slowly but
surely sinking into oblivion. The maid
finds soft diaphanous stuffs to envelope
and enhance her shapely form.
The plain skirt is considered passe,
and trimmings adorn both day. and
evening skirts. Light gauzes or net are
made as dropskirts, full and falling
satin or silk underskirt. Jewels and
spangles are highly in vogue and ex-
pensive dresses are studded with gold
and silver sequins interspersed with
jewels and designs in gold and silver
thread. The figaro or bolero is to be
as much in favor in the coming season
as it has been for some time past. It's
varieties are many. some very short.
others longer. some of lace, others of
velvet MANY frilled and furbelowed.
others gem embroidered and jetted.
The zouave forms the principal fea-
ture of a graceful demi-t toilette of to-
days illustration. The very close fit
ting black satin underskirt measures
but three and a half yards in width
az the hem. where it is adorned by a
very full and narrow pleating of black
satin. The foundation skirt is covered
by a dropsllirt of large-meshed black
Brussels net. slightly gored and gath
cred at the belt, but falling loosely to
the hem. The wide hem is accentuated
by three rows of narrow black satin
ribbon. The bright red satin founda-
ton waist is close-fitting and covered
entirely by closely gathered black net.
The tight red satin sleeve is also COW

The modern ball glove is consider

novelty in this necessary accoutrement

for reception wear and will take the
place of the full glove during the sum-

New York. April 10.-This is the
time when every woman is impatient
to shuttle off the mortally hot and
heavy coil of winter fiannels. and is
joyously exploiting, to admiring friends
and family, her new lounging regi-
mentals-in short, the winters chrys-
ais is rapidly emerging into the Easter
butterfly, both without and within.
The stout, long, heavily boned stay OF
satin coutille is replaced by short one
of cream-colored batiste, cut low at
the bust and short on the hips and
only very modestly trimmed. The point
all corset-makers are striving to at
tain now is that of giving a figure the
appearance of exceeding fiexibility.
No pressure is brought TO bear on the
hips at all, While the boning runs up
only to the point of the bust, and is
there cut down like a very decollete
bodice in a deep, narrow V. This
pares away every superfiuous bit of
stay and gives the figure support only
where it is actually needed. Slender

ing Dleating of cherry red velvet
around the neck is exceedingly hatter-
ing to the complexion of both brunette
and blonde. A smaller red velvet pleat-
ing like that at the neck is at the
wrists. and a wide folded belt of the
same red velvet enriches the waist,
closing in front with two full loops.
The zouave jacket is elaboratelY en-
broidered in Turkish palm-leaf design,
done in gold spangles, gold beads. and
colored iridescent CRYSTALS on red vel
vet This gown is admirably suited for
a theater costume, as the black skirt
is not conspicuous when the rich glow
ing colors of the bodice are covered by
a wrap. A charming theater bonnet
to match this costume consists of two
very large red silk and velvet poppies
attached to each side of a small black
Jet diadem. which enclrcles the high
knot of hair and is finished by the limp
green stems and red buds of the pop
pies.
The fashion, which originated in our
northern cline, of wearing fur all
through the year is adopted this year
by ultra-fashionables throughout all
countries. Indeed, strips of our rich
black sable as shoulder straps on the
decollete costume de ceremonie, sets
off beautifully the white neck and
shoulders of the wearer. A model for
a unique ball gown well suited for a
young matron consists of trained
princesse overdress of ivory silk with a
wide horizontal stripe of daintily shad-
ed appliqued embroidery, opening wide
over a petticoat of pale green satin
covered with real lace. A wide strip of
sable edges the deep V shaped decol-
lete at the back, runs over the Shout
ders, meeting again at the waist line
in front and held there by a large dia-
mond studded silver aggraffe. The fur
trimming continues on both sides of
the wide open prineesse. and edges the
hem of the garment. The V shaped
decollete of the bodice is filled in with
cream colored real lace, and a full
ruff1e of the same lace is gathered to
the fur at the shoulders and forms the

SUMMER UNDERSKIRTS.
In the way of silk petticoats a sur
prising number of vagaries have been
recently revealed and women who give
marked attention to the accessories of
dress are wearing skirts of solid scar
let taffeta or full gros grain petticoats
in the most daring plaids. The red
oddities have at their bottoms what are
called bouquet flounces. These are five
or six very full ruffies, their edges cut
in long points that are pinked and then
the fiounces laid one almost over the
other The plaid jupes are decorated
with groups of narrow flutes, in
punches of from three to five. spaced as
much as a foot apart and extending
nearly up to the belt.
Most important among seasonable
novelties, however. are the scarlet sat
in or brocaded silk skirts, embellished
with one very deep full fiounce of fine
brown batiste, striped with cream lace
insertion. The excuse for this COM
bination is that the batiste does not
soil so easily as a, muslin, lace or satin
fiounce, and, acting on this suggestion,
we have in the shops the prettiest of
