with their lunettes for lay sisters to
peer through.
The convent park is laid out in long,
straight walks, planted on either side
by yew trees. Each nun has a walk to
herself. It is allotted her when she
enters, and she PAGES it until her death.
Up and down the walk she goes, with
silent tread, never raising her eyes save
in prayer, and never exchanging a syl-
liable with mortal being.
A recent visitor to the convent thus
describes what she saw:
1.-THE lay sister who received us Gay
sisters do all the household and garden
work and are allowed to TALK would
not allow us to approach near enough
to the ruins to get even glimpse of
their downcast faces. We saw, how
ever, that they wore long black cows,
with great white crosses between the
shoulders and reaching to the hem of
the gown. Save for the crosses, they
were arrayed wholly in black; and
black wells draped their faces.
AS we watched, the chapel bell tolled
out, and the soeurs silencieuses moved
towards its open door. We were adj
mitted to the gallery, and saw them
kneeling in the half light below us. A
mans voice was reading prayers, but
no man could we see. Afterwards we
learned that he spoke from behind a
screen. He was admitted to the con-

vent chapel by an underground pas
sageway leading beyond the walls.
AT present the chaplain is a. reverend
able of nearly so years of age, who
enjoys a reputation for ascetic sane
tity throughout Navarro. The only time
the nuns see him is when he celebrates
mass.
In chapel they bend almost to the
floor, their hands crossed upon their
breasts. They eat only vegetables and
drink only water. In the entire history
of the order, it is said, there was but
one nun who failed to obey the rules of
silence and submission. The poor wo-
men dig their own graves, and, when
they are buried, no cross or monument
of any kind marks their resting place
eft is very wholesome for the gay
bellies of Biarritz and of Pau to visit
the soeurs silencieuses and their con-
vent occasionally. Our party could not
get the remembrance out of their heads
for weeks after. 1t pursued us like a
haunting horror

ladies at Pau asked leave TO make

FASHIONS IN ICE CREAM.

New Molds and Designs That Attract
Attention ct Midwinter Functions.
Ice cream made its first appearance
in Americas. ian accessory for a social
function during the administration OF
President Jackson. 1t was formally in
troduced into society by the widow of
Alexander Hamilton at one of the gen
erals receptions. much to Old Hick-
ory's" delight who, when plate was
handed, laughed heartily ito see the
rustic sovereigns blow on the funny
stuff" So popular did it become as a
fashion that articles were written in
it's behalf. AS balls and routs increased
it then took it's place in the line of
sweets for informal affairs, until now
this icy mixture is found on the least
pretentious tables.
1t is not so very many years ago that
creams were served only by spoonfuls
on the saucer, the idea of forms hav-
ing never been thought of. But as dec
orative accessories made their appear

cess would be scored in his behalf. So
a cast was made. and the ice offered in
the shape of beautiful flowers.
This pretty fancy found its way
across the Atlantic, and a clever man
with Yankee shrewdness added others
of a more decorative character. The
American molds now rank as superior
to those made either in Paris or Lon
don.
For midwinter new mold has
made it's appearance in the shape of a
lamp. 1t is in three tints, pink, pale
yellow and old rose. For military ban
quets, we are told, the bold soldier boy
will take an active part. He is tall, in
figure rather clumsily built, but the
tints of his fatigue dress can be ex-
cellently depicted by the confection-
erS colorS, which are always on hand
of whatever tone may be desired
AS musical scheme there are nu-
merous designs. The most prominent
is darkey, who carries in his arms a
violin, a decorative bit in silver and
gilt, in contrast to the chocolate face
of the musician.
The miniature ice is unquestionably
the most favored device of the mo-
ment.
One clever hostess has had made for
her dinners her own miniature in lovely
flesh tint in this cold delicacy When
served it will be put on plate and
decorated with a wreath of smilax fin
ished at the top by a group of small
natural rosebuds; a peculiarly happy
thought for any woman's function.

folds, when wrapped tight at the waist
line, and at one side two loops and
fringed ends make q neat finish.
A NEW USE FOR JEWELS.
The coats, as the season deepened.
began to show the new extravaganza
of fashion in trimming with imitation
jewels, but now jewels appear on near
ly all the gowns that lay any claim to
smartness. A new fancy is for trim
ming cloth suits with little bowknots
of steel and Jet in place of buckles, and
making an elaborate use of gilded and
gun metal chains in ornamenting the
panels of skirts and fronts Of bodices.
The chains, by pretty little hooks, are
fastened to metal eyes, seWed onto the
cloth, and criSS-croSsing over lace or
velvet they bring a new and Gndoubt-
edly costly addition to the sum of
fashion.
Yet in details simple ornaments are
very greatly admired and worn this
winter. Venetian beads are very much
the mode in place of pearl necklaces
and diamond collars, and the fans we
see on all sides are small, of white
boiling cloth over colored bone sticks
and powdered with SpangleS in no fixed
pattern. Natural flowers are never
even carried as bouquets, and because
of the preference for long transparent
sleeves, costly is and 20-button gloves
are scarcely ever seen. 1t must be adj
mitted that jeweled combs are still in
many heads, and yet with most ex-
travagant toilets, twists and small
bows of black velvet ribbon are the
only offsets to the hair
Any woman can consider herself pos
sessed of a perfect dinner gown who
has only lustreless black taffeta,
trimmed with narrow velvet ribbon.
She may f1ounce her taffeta up the
waist or decorate it only with velvet
ribbon, set on in vandyke points and
garnish the bodice with a little lace,
but any way. she ornaments it, the
taffeta itself need only be of the sort
used for lining skirts, and she can in
confidence appear in any assemblage.

Gloomy French Convent.
Near Biarritz-happy, brilliant Biar-
ritz-stands the lone, w-embroidered
convent of the Silent Women-the
Soeurs Silencieuses.
Here, not far from the sounding wa
tiers of the bay of Biscay, 81 ladies of
birth and breeding have seen fit to i'm
mure themselves in what is nothing
less than a living tomb. Woman's
tongue has, justly or unjustly. been
centuried by-word; yet the soeurs 81
lencieuses voluntarily resign their right
to speak, and sentence themselves, for
the rest of their natural lives, to alb
solute, unbroken silence.
The convent which is modelled on
that for men at La Trappe, was found
ed many years ago by a lady of the
French court, who, in company with
some friends, sought this solitude and
gave her life to God. Who she was
her very identity-is in dispute. Indeed,
it was her own wish that the authori-
ties of the Catholic church should pre-

receptacle a well made punch is brew

Any of the three can be given to this

effect, from which it takes it's name.
The smaller end of the cornucopia is
tied up with different ribbons in deli
cate tones. Each guest is served with
one klOndike which rests on a small,
round mat Of embossed gilt paper.
Another picturesque dessert in ices is

the aid of pistache. On this are lighter

for the dressing there are hard boiled

form has just arrived from Paris, being
extremely popular for formal dinners
and collations. and is often served after
the entree, cleansing the palate for the
courses which are to follow.
Croquettes OF ice cream are now made
in pure white to initiate rice. Over this
is a slightly warmed chocolate sauce,
