An attempt is being made to make elbow

gowns so designed
Manufacturers say that black silks are to
be exceedingly popular this winter, and that
they have produced a large quantity of
varied quality and style.
A table should not stand in the center of

A writer who was at the New York horse

were dreams of beauty; pen almost fails in
attempting to describe their almost barbaric
splendor. You know many of New York

wrap is a necessity. A distinguishing fea-

is their length almost enveloping the figure.
Cloth redngotes are to the fore, also; they
descend to within six inches of the hem of

New York Evening Sun.
Even dense man has probably noticed how
much larger womens waists appear to be
nowadays. The least dense of men and not
every woman, however, are perhaps aware
of the reason for it. It's all on account Of
the small sleeves, particularly those which,
fitting without pucker to the shoulders,
leave the waist line and the shoulder line
with no distinction between them, save that
which nature has bestowed. This puts a ter
rible responsibility upon nature, and it is
one which only the most perfectly proper
toned figures can stand. Even then, with
minds, the effect of any waist, however
slim naturally, is larger than 1t used TO be.
The excessively big sleeves had their faults,
but making the waist look small WASH one
of them, while the Moderately big sleeves
lent a grace to many a narroW-Shouldered
or wide-waisted figure that no other fashion
in history could have brought about. ones
an whom you last saw big sleeved is to re-
mark upon how thin she has grown; then
YOU realize that it is not she but the sleeves
that have changed. ''All my new frocks are
somehow unbecoming,' complained a woman
the other day. They're made in the latest
spent hours in planning them, but Tor all
that they're unbecoming, and It's just be-
cause of the skin-tight sleeves making my
shoulders and waist look the same size.
Another woman declares that small sleeves
have returned too soon. 1T was such a little
while ago when they were so shockingly old
fashioned she says. Most of the smart
frocks one sees this fall have the air of
being old things hauled out again after a
seven years exile.

Christina. Fancy work.

New YORK Tribune.
Pincushions are always handy" and
make acceptable gifts. for one never can
have too many. A pretty and dainty cush-
ion seen in a shop the other day was long
and narrow bordered with pale blue silk
frill, and neatly pinned on the top with col
ored pins was strip of dainty drawn
threadwork the threads being caught to-
gether with pale pink cotton.
Another cushion seen on the same table
was small and square. covered with amber
satin, ornamented with bows worked in
heliotrope and white silk. A little box
peated border of heliotrope and white rib
bon finished this exquisite little gift, which
was effective and nicely put together.
A cOmically shaped pincushiOn is made by
extending all the corners out into divisions,
run through with satin ribbon the exact
width of the cushion. Between each divi-
sion thus made is reel of silk in various
pale gray silk, edged with pink cord. The
ribbon was of dainty pink, the reels of
silk black, white, pink and gray, making
an exquisite combination. This cushion
forms a serviceable addition to a workboN.
Another blue cushion consisted of strips

had been painted, Joined ny deep cream lace
insertions.

one other cushion, rOun1 Snd rat. was

we need no longer resemble birds Of prey,
for the white kand Of a lady is now distinct
" feminine The nail is cut quite short, no
longer than the finger tip and only a tiny
rim of white nail shows. 1t Is the fashion
to trim the finger slightly rounded; that Is,
q trifie down at the corners Of the finger
nail. A nail will assume in growing the
shape in which it is habitually trimmed. In
one of his admirable works DR.. Louis Starr
recommends that children's nails, on both
hands and feet should be trimmed straight
across and not in a pointed or rounded form.
This is good advice to follow with the little
ones Meanwhile the young girl and her
mamma are softly rounding the natural
angle of the finger nail.

A marriage took place the other day, the
parties being Bhattia widower of about
forty and Bhattia girl of about nine The
disparity in age is rather startling, and it
is aggravated by other circumstances; for
instance the widower has a daughter of
about eighteen engaged as a teacher at a
school of which her father is honorary
pupil at the school under his daughter of
eighteen The first thing the girl wife of
nine did on marrying was TO demonstrate
with her daughter OF eighteen as to how
She her mother, could possibly sit at school
on bench while the daughter taught her
from a chair! What is the poor daughter
to do? She must give up her appointment
az school mistress or her dear mother of
nine must give up attending school. 1t is
for the father and husband to decide.

IhEATERS IN VARIOUS LANDS.
More Amusement Places In Italy Than
in Proportion.

From the New York Sun.
The population of Italy is 5000 600 less
than the population of France. but
Italy has more theaters than France
and twice as many as Great Britain,
though the population of Great Britain
is fully 5000 900 larger than that or
Italy. These figures, recently COM
piled. reinforce the claim long made oy
Italian managers that there are more
theaters in proportion to its population
i'm Italy than elsewhere in the world.
There are. counting halls and opera
houses as theaters. 1000 places or
amusement, approximately. IN the
United states. In Italy there are 44s,
in France 347. in Germany $3.50. In Great
Britain 352, and in Spain 30.
One explanation which has been OF
fered for the very large number or The
aters in Italy Is that many of them are
small affairs and unworthy OF recogni-
ton as theaters. This view OF the case,
however. is inaccurate, as, in respect 10
the seating capacity, Italian theaters
are rather larger smaller than
those of other countries. The Carlo fe-
lice in Genoa seats ZOO. and La Scaia,
now no longer used for theatrical per-
formances. i'm Milan, 2,1OO. The size OF
these theaters can be seen when com
pared with some New York houses, the
average seating capacity OF which Is
l.5O0. The Garden. Garrick. Hoyts. the
Lyceum and the Empire. all well-knowh
houses, have less than 1900 seating ca
pacity each. A more plausible ana
more satisfactory explanation OF the
large number of theaters In Italy Is 10
be found In the fact that The cuitiNa-
ton and appreciation of music are per-
haps more general in Italy than in n
other country. and many OF the play
houses, therefore, are devoted not 10
theatrical but to musical entertain
ments. What are called concert naiis
in the United States of England are
theaters in Italy, and the gardens
which prevail so largely in Germany'
and i'm which the popular taste Tor mu-
sic is i'm part supplied, are no TO De
found i'm Italy to any similar extent.

is furnished at minor theaters, ana the
number Of these is 50 great as TO put

this particular.
