ELLEN OSBORN'S FASHION LETTER.
In Which Are Venured Some Propeses of Styles for the
Coming Season.

considerable impetus to the use OF fur
for dress trimmings.
The prettest costumes now in prepa-
ration belong to the trousseaux of the
autumn brides. An evening dress which
has been ordered under such happy
auspices is of Liberty silk of a delicate
rose color. 1t is cut after Charles x
style, falling from the square decolle-
tage in graceful lengths to the ground.
1t is confined lightly in front by broad
pink and white ribbons coming from
below the arms and tying in a large
bow on the bosom. The long sleeves
are puckered from shoulder to waist.
The principal ornament is wide lace
collar, turning down about the decol-
letage.
! A travelling dress belonging to the
same trousseau is of beige cashmere,
trimmed at the bottom with two bands
of rose colOred velvet, one wider than
the other. Perpendicular strips of the
same velvet, eighteen inches long or
thereabouts, are set around the hem
also. The bodice is a special design
for an extremely slender figure. 1t is
laid in circular tuckS of some width. A
fiat collar of beige velvet figured in pink
comes well down over the shoulders; it
is slashed back and front and trimmed
with velvet. There is narrow velvet
belt. The sleeves cover half the hand.
A black velvet hat, saucily cooked, is
trimmed with pink velvet and black
feathers.
At quiet tea-drinking in informal
welcome of couple of English girls,
who will figure this winter in New York
society, I noticed three or four particu-
larly successful costumes. One was of
silver-grey cloth, with bell skirt, to
which was added long tunic turned
back in the washerwoman style; the
turned back part was faced with black
velvet. The bodice was a smart little
jacket with basques, opening on vest
of pink mousseline de sole and turning
back in triple revers of black velvet;
the revers formed big, wavy collar,
from which rose a high collar lined
with white. Add narrow black vel

Bedsteads in Russia.

Until lately the use of bedsteads in
Russia has been almost exclusively
confined to the rich. The peasants
slept OIL the large bake ovens to be
found in nearly every house, while the
soldiers were provided with sort Of
cot without bedding. The middle
classes and the students, on the other
hand, contented themselves with wrap
ping a blanket about them and lying
down near rather primitive looking
stoves.
Not so long ago, however, bedsteads
were introduced into the boarding
schools which abound in Russia, and
now their use has become rather gen.
eral. But their introduction had to be
brought about by a special edict from
the Czar of all the Russias, and, as
matter of course, the school boys and
others who have used them by royal
command, naturally look upon his
highness as a great benefactOr.

New York, Oct. 5-Cuvier restored
m extinct fish from a single scale. He
could not predict future fishes from
scales of the present ones. But given
one detail of dress, a clever person can
sketch for you a complete outline Of the
coming seasons fashions. For exam
pie, skirts are growing tighter across
the hips every day. What follows?
These several things: Skirts will be
somewhat narrower about the hem also,
though the reduction in hip size does
not measure other reductions accurate
ly. If skirts are narrower ruff1es must
disappear, on the from him that-h
not principle. Full skirts are made
fuller by frills and f1ounces. Narrow
skirts are made narrower by fiat trim
mings. This rule is as nearly invari-
able as rule can be. All general state
ments are false, including this one.
What fiat trimmings are available? :?
About this time, in the language of the
Old Farmers Almanac, except gallons,
passementeries, braids and embroid-
cries. How will these ornaments be
disposed? The taste of the time is for
elaborate effects; hence it is safe to
predict that seams, pockets and revers
will be remembered, as well as the dis
play surfaces of skirt breadths
How will the length of skirts be af-
fected? The narrower skirt, the longer
it will be. Women emphasize their
convictions. Once started in a given di-
rection they head all their belongings
the same way. There is danger that
street dresses will yearn for the ground.
The hip dimensions condition the
bodice with the same certainty. An up
and down tendency confirms the doom
of the sleeve. The tight sleeve is be-
coming tighter and longer, and even the
Jockeys on the shoulder are about ready
10 a v da1s
they are already gone. Long, narrow
skirts and long, tight sleeves call for
basques to produce a long bodice. The
Russian blouse has appeared in answer
to the appeal. 1t will last until present
tendencies are modified.

TOOLS FOR MOLDING.

OF course, the molds must be made

you are constructive in your tastes the

The first thing, then, is to get or make
a pattern of whatever you intend to

we will suppose that you wish to cast

an old spool and having the appear

a good thing to oil it so that it will
