The TrOublOus Feathers.

r1OW the New YORK Times.
The theater bonnet is deceitful and de-
ceptive. Many sins are committed in the
lame of theater bonnet. Their crimes are
rot SO apparent when the performers on
the stage are standing, but at other times
there is a general craning of necks to see
over the many impertinent feathers, all
standing on end. One of the most exciting
parts of "A Lady of Quality is where Sir
John Oxen Is killed. People who have not
read the reviews of the play carefully are
not certain whether or not he is killed. So
they endeavor to see. He lies upon the
floor, and Julia Arthur, as the Lady Dun
stanwolde, is bending over him. There are
five minutes or more, with the excitement
at its height, that many people in the audi
ence cannot see the players. A man the
other night suggested II remedy. Il should
like to have a long pair of scissors he
said, land snip off all those abominab.e
feathers and bows. I should have a bask-
one who may be interested in the contents
of the basket as it would have been If he
had carried out his idea on that particular
night, the following list is given: One blue
ostrich feather, which was standing
straight beside a black aigrette; three
green wings, one black and one white os-
trich feather, three erect black ostrich
feathers, three white ostrich plumes, one
fluffy waving mass of black feathers, one
spraylike, misty mass of white aigrettes
one standing blue velvet bow on a gold
bonnet which was accompanied by a plum
colored bonnet to be shipped off at the
sides and to lose it's cluster of waving
aigrette. TWO white ostrich plumes That
was within a small radius; other theater
bonnet shippers would have found plenty
OF work in other parts Of the house.

Trace Attertcn in the Contemporary Review
The fact that so per cent of the actions
Tor divorce are brought by women would
appear to tell heavily against the mgr. NJ
the country. but, a matter of fact. a
large percentage of these divorces go by
default. which implies either collision or
indifference On the Part of the delinquent.
Many men. 1t is estimated permit the Of
lending wife to bring the suit rather than
to disgrace her and her children. Never
tneless, the divorce revolution has been
brought about and is maintained by wo-
men The typical woman of the United
states To-Day is mental anarchist The
reasons Tor this are Several. She is a COM
poste of all the races of earth. if not in
piood IN point of view. She is a product Of
experimental democracy, and like her
country, blindly but fiercely striving for an
Ideal. She has been thrown largely on her
own resources; unlike the women of the
old world. she has done her own thinking.
She Ewes IN an electrical atmosphere. She
Is spoiled child. She finds herself a COM
ponent part of a life that is ever changing.
and changes with it. She has come 10 re-
gard herself as by far the most important
element in that life. She is a child of the
hour of the minute; she does not strike
roots. Her independence has begot an alb
normal amount of Individuality
Is 1t matter for wonder that finding
the man she has married unsatisfactory
she losses him aside and begins life anew?
1t might be argued that many of the con-
dltions enumerated apply equally to the
men; but it must be remembered that the
latter have less tine to reason and ana
lyZe. They are essentially a race of ner-
vous, incesSant workers; they seem to be
possessed by the idea that if they pause to
take breath the imperfect structure of their
republic will fall to pieces. Even the rich
men die in harness.

The Young Man Lied.
From the Philadelphia Record

hfom the Philadelphia Record.
An amusing incident occurred a few davs
ago al Broad street station. An old gentle
man while passing through the waiting
room stopped and picked I'D a ten-doIlar
note from the floor and quickly put II in
ms trousers pocket. A young man nearby
noticing this. at once claimed the money
as his, but the old gentleman's opinion on
that point was somewhat different. and a
heated argument ensued. The matter was
explained to ticket agent at the window
who referred the two disputants to the
head agent to settle the question of own
ership. They were ushered into the private
office OF the arbiter. After q lively discus
SIGN. the old gentleman finally became in
dignant, and. drawing his hand from his
pocket. he threw the note on the desk. ex-
claiming: Here. take the old $1O!" AS the
agent was unfolding the note a large smile
overspread his features. and he showed
them 1t was not a ten-dollar note at all
but a clever advertisement of a LEADING
mouse In this city. The young mans face
flushed scarlet, and neither looking right
nor left, he unceremoniously rushed from
the ONCE, through the depot, and disap-
peared.

Taffeta satin and printed silks are used
for the most elegant neglige and tea
jackets; changeable grounds. brocades,
stripes and plaids are as appropriate as
plain goods. No color is too bright nor fig

A Dainty Tea Jacket.
A charming and practical example in gray
cashmere has a fitted back and loose fronts
and a square yoke Of heavy cream lace.
The sleeves are full and gathered at the
wrists in bands of lace. Rufus of cerise
mousseline de sole are around the neck
and wrists and full pleated ends of the
same material fall from the throat.
A new and serviceable idea Is to have
the negifge jacket and silk underskirt to
match.
Silk petticoats differ from those worn in
preceding years, more in shades than in
the materials Of which they are made.
There are two distinct lines of these, the
simple walking, or morning, petticoat and
the elaborate, dressy petticoat for evening
visiting wear. The walking petticoat is,
as rule, Of shot silk or satin with corded
fiounce of the same about twelve inches in
depth. This fiounce is sometimes yelled by
a second founce of black or white lace
Thus an almond-green satin, embossed in
white oriental design, has a black Chantilly
fiounce over one of light glace silk.
The accompanying jacket of the same
green satin is made in loose Mother Hub
bard style, the yoke being Of the silk yelled
with black lace, while full ruche of white
mousseline de sole encircles the neck and
wrist.

ADAPTED FROM TIE RUSSIAN BLOUSE
A Pleasing Model That Was Made

DAINTY SILK PETTICOATS

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
DUBLIN, November 1I.-Even the tea
gown. which so far has failed to bow in
obedience before the dictates of fashion
and has followed solely the individual taste
of Its fair wearer. has now adopted the
Russian style. Many charming models
droop in blouse fashion and are closed on
the left shoulder and down the left side
after the style Of the Russian street gar
ments now so universally popular.
The design which we publish today rep
resents a o'clock tea gown included in
the winter wardrobe of H. R. H. the
Duchess of York.
Soft blue and white matelasse constitutes
this gown The Russian bodice is inserted
with handsome cream lace and white rib
bon. as are also the panels of the skirt
The elbow sleeves have deep ruffies of soft
white lisse and epauets of the same
dainty material, accordion pleated On the
chest is attached a large bow of lisse, the
long ends of which form the tablier. The
long Vatican train is also of matelasse,
The somewhat neglected zouave jacket
is still very much favored on tea or negli-
&c toilets, particularly with empire gowns
worn by young ladies.
OF India Silk.
A white India silk is made in short
WASTED empire fashion. The full skirt
shirred to the short. round bodice is I'M
lined and falls in long, graceful folds to
the HEM where 1t is pinned with fine gold
embroidery.
The bodice is loose over a tignt lining
and Is cut with a slight square decollete
bordered by full ruche of white mousse
line de sole. The short zouave jacket of
white velveteen is richly embroidered with
gold soutache and opens over the loose
blouse front of the bodice.
The sleeve on the zouave jacket is quite
tight and reaches just above the elbow
where II is attached on the upper arm and
permits the full puff sleeve of white India
silk to gush out from beneath. The full
ness Is confined above the wrist by a tight
gold-embroidered band.

Japanese style, modified and modernized
