founces begin at the bottom and are
graduated in width up to the top, some
having three, others five, six or seven.
All are edged with narrow lace. The
corsage is generally of silk of darker
shade, with a fiounce bertha and no
sleeves. Flower trimming is placed on
the shoulders and across the waist some
times. Other dancing dresses are made
of tulle and tarlatan. 1t is many years
since tarlatan was fashionable, but it is
Sin" now, and very pretty it is, too,
and it possesses the unusual quality of
lasting whole season through, barring
accidents If it is creased, warm iron
makes it look like new. 1t always was
pretty. The flounces, if any, should be
cut ON the bias The skirt, if simply
gathered and hemmed, should be cut ON
the straight. Flowers are the proper
decorations and really nothing makes a
daintier or more girlish gown. Tarlatan
comes in several shades of pink, two
shades of blue, pale green and straw
color.
Princess shapes for handsome evening
gowns are quite popular, and nothing
shows off q fine figure to better advan-
tage.
I was told some months ago by a
French friend that panniers We're COM
ing in again. Well, here they are, and
they are only the precursors of Dolly
Vardens.
One gown in particular struck me as
being very beautiful. The skirt was a
rich dark navy blue velvet and made
with plain, round shape, which fell
into magnificent heavy folds. The cor
sage was of gold colored silk null ele-
gantly draped and edged with cream
lace. There were no sleeves, save such
as the draped lace afforded. There were
two cunning little pannier puffs of the
gold colored null. The rest of the COR
sage was composed Of velvet, almost en-
tirely covered with gold embroidery.
There were four yellow roses, with buds
and green foliage, set upon the bust and
shoulders.
One could go on indefinitely describ-
ing the different creations in the way of
ball and dinner dresses, but as they arc
not the only things necessary I will
leave space for mention of some of the
others. The new evening gloves are gen.
orally long suedes or mousquetaires in
all tho evening shades, and these are
plain. But others have the tops en-
broidered in floss, silver or gold threads,
or with lace insets edged in some cases
with beads. Other gloves are half long
and are richly embroidered or beaded
along ON the back of the hand.
Floral pieces for decorating the hair
are mingled with MORE bows. Lilies of
the valley, roses and violets, both white
and purple, are made into graceful set
pieces, shoulder knots and trailing

CITY POST OFFICE BUILDING.

Result of Poxtmaster General Gary's
Visit Yesterday.
The visit of the Postmaster General to
the new city post office building yesterday
afternoon. as stated in The Star, has not
resulted in causing him to announce that
he is agreeable to oke proposition Of NOV
irs his department into that building.
That question Is still held in abeyance,
and will not be- determined until future
time. when it is quite possible that Mr..
Gary will ask the appropriation committees
of Congress to- relieve him from the neces-
sity Of such a Change. because of its in
furious effect on. TIE service.
But the Postmaster General found that
the Treasury Department Is withholding
certain contracts sfor the completion of the
new city post office building because no
plan has yet been made for the placing of
partitions and; other arrangements for
adapting the bntI33tng to office purposes.
As the prospects, at present are that the
Post ONCE Department will move into it;
the Treasury Department desired him to
suggest the style In which he wished the
place fitted UP. in order to allow the work
to progress.
For this reason the Postmaster General
will have plans prepared. but II he should
determine later on not to move into the
building. and If Congress should agree with
hiIn, the arrangement now being made can
readily be adapted to the use of any other
of the bureaus of the government. 1t Is
understood that his action in no way. COM
mits him to the project of placing his de-
partment In the new building.
