Botlices and Skirts.

Bodies in contrast or in harmony
with the skirt are found to be so use
full that they are enjoying great popu-
larity still. The particular fashion of
the moment, however, for blouses are
the black brocaded velvet patterns,
thrown on checks and shaded rainbow
effects, the velvet being mostly black,
applied also to brilliant tartan and
chameleon grounds. The bayadere eff
fects-viz., with horizontal instead Of
perpendicular stripes-are the newest
introduction, but it remains to be
proved whether they will be generally
adopted, for, however much we may
disguise the fact, it is certain that they
shorten the figure. Flannel blouses
have assumed new form; they are
checked in dark colors and have super
seeded the Paisley patterns. They IRE
extra thick and warm and are slightly
more expensive than the striped fan
nels, which are not quite so new, but
still worn.

To Make Good Tea.

Tea should never be brewed in a
copper kettle-that positively must go,
and an earthenware pot is an absolute
necessity. Earthenware which is not
glazed on the inside is the best. The
kind of tea used is matter of individ-
ual choice, but really good teas are ex-
pensive. The tea the Japanese use in
Offering entertainment to their best
friends costs from SIS to $40 pound.
Sugar and cream are merely not toll
erated-they are never used by people
who really respect tea. Sugar may be
allowable, but cream never. In fact,
if tea is properly made, no one will
want to spoil it's delicious bouquet. The
best way to make tea, although it is
troublesome, is to pour boiling water
into the teapot on the tea and let it
stand a few minutes, and after the re-
quired strength has been acquired,
pour the tea through a strainer into
another earthenware pot over a spirit
lamp which will keep the tea hot. This
does away with all fear of tannin,
which is derived from the tea leaves
sleeping in the water if it is left on
them.

Opera Capes.

Many short opera capes are being
made in white satin and feather boas
carried round high collars have long
ends, which fall in the front. An in
expensive make of MORE in all colors
has been utilized for the same purpose,
the capes being very full, with large,
round hood at the back, edged with
tipped marabout. Cerise poplin, lined
with quilted white satin and edged
with Thibet fur, is a beautiful opera
cloak, while some in corded Six, with
small crescents brocaded, have W l.
teau plat down the center of the back.
Full mink capes, bordered with frill
of the same fur, serve for evening and
morning, and for those who can afford
it there is nothing to equal sable made
in the same way.

A Morning Dress.

The cut of morning dresses is mon
otonous and unbecoming, for though
the overlapping fullness may make the
figure appear slim, it is also apt to give
an untidy bunchy Appearances though
the wearer were slipping out of her
skirt, and for stout figures it would be
difficult to find anything more inele-
CANT. The close fitting ruffled sleeves
make the arms appear unduly long, es-
pecially when the cuffs fall over the
hand. Such gowns nearly all display
pretty embroidery applied to the front
of the bodices; even the thicker ma
terials allow the rage for tuckirg to
be enjoyed to its fullest extent, while
in thin fabrics these same tucks are
generally drawn close together.

Meanwhile the almost proverbial
energy and presence of mind of "Hust-

was displayed. He was the coolest
man at the scene. He quietly walked
away, and secured big carriage show
