Mrs. Watson will Try to Recover
 the Million and a Half
EVIDENCE OF GOOD FAITH
Which She Deeded to Her
 Father Three Years Ago
To Prove that She was Not an Un- grateful Daughter and That Her English Husband was No, For tune Hunter.

Honolulu, Jan. 27, via Sea t,e, Wash, Feb. MT and Mrs. Thomas, Wa,sol arrived here on the 22d inst. on their
 way around the world. Mrs. Watson is the only daughter of Claus Spreck-
 els, the sugar king. Her marriage With Watson caused family es range
 ment which has not been healed. Spreckels claimed that his daughter
 was ungrateful, and in addition charged Watson with being a fortun.1
 hunter.
 The daughter denied both charg S,
 and as proof of her good intentions
 deeded back to her father property worth a million and half dolla s. Mrs. Watson now claims that her father has been more than unkiEd to her since her marriage, and to even up things she has decided to invite
 the aid of Hawaiian courts for the re-
 covery of the million and a half dol
 lars worth of property which she
 deeded back to him at the time of the
 marriage.
 It has long been known in IIonolu u ! that Mrs. Watson's deed to Claus Spreckels was not signed by her hus- band and the impression prevails Ina. it is invalid on that account. Her ! contention will hold good in this country, il is claimed, for the reason that the husbands signature must ac- company the wife's to make the trans
 fer legal. Most of the property owne1 ]
 by Mrs. Watson prior to her marriage is situated in Honolulu and consists of business blocks. The income is
 said a be $1 ,0O0 a month.

Where Utility Comes In.
All Paris will compete with the attrac-
tions of the exposition. The exposition is to
draw the crowd. but the Parisians intend to
reap the harvest in way they never did
before. The reputation of the gay city is to
be re-established SO that no one ever will
dare doubt its gayety again. Where there
are now three dance halls there will be a
dozen. Where thera are now five music
halls. with promenades, there will be twen-
ty. The Moulin Rouge will no longer be
unique of its kind. The students ball will
have its rivals Night after night the great
sleepless capital Of pleasure will shine in
its riot.
"An this is very gay 1 said to an enthu-
siastic Partisan the other night, but it is
simply gayety. 1 thought the object of a
worlds fair was utility?"
"Gayety?' he answered; "gayety-utility?
My friend, gayety has always been of great
utility to Paris! STERLING HEILIG.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
PARIS. August 81 1898.
The days are decidedly shorter and an
occasional chilly wind waves through the
balmy air and reminds madame to replenish
her wardrobe and protect herself against
coming changes. 1t is the gown doing duty
for all sorts of practical uses that claims
first attention.
Our Illustration represents a model of ex-
Guisitely refined simplicity and especially
designed for the young Countess de c.,
demoiselle yet in her teens, but already
noted for her beauty. She is a blonde, and
the soft folds of gray cashmere suit her
fairness admirably
The skirt of silver gray cashmere Is plain
but for a trimming of many lows of bias
folds of darker gray sat tin. the effect of
which is greatly enhs need by a silver fill
gree button placed on each row at one side
OF the skirt. An independent underskirt of
silver gray satin with a balayeuse of the
same material acts as a lining TO the skirt
The bodice is also of the same soft cash
mere and is lined like the skirt with gray
satin. and cl Jses on one side with lows of
silver hiigr4e buttons. Particular attention
Is drawn TO the fit of the round yoke which
is decorated with the rows of bias folds of
darker gray satin, and the belt part of the
bodice. which Is adjusted closely to the fig
Ure. and is trimmed to match the yoke and
skirt.
OF Venetian Cloth.
Another model is of gray Venetian cloth,
with trimming of purple velvet The skirt
OF cloth is made up quite plain over the
separate unierskirt of purple taffeta, and
IS quite relief from the inevitable apron
font and ssrpentine fiounce which has be-
cCme so popular that the elegantes are re-
verting from 1t. The skirt of our model is
trimmed at the Eem with four rows of very
narrow bias folds of black satin which
meet IN front, ending in clover leaf design
which Is set with gilt button. The gray
cloth skirt s slashed in front, the slash be-
ing edged with The same black satin bias
folds with clover leaf design at the point

and exposes q fan pleating of purple vel
vet.
The gray Venetian cloth of the bodice Is
drawn tightly over the seamless back,
while the front shows the folds adjusted to
the figure, without a pouch and confined at
the waist line By belt of black satin, with
a bow in front held by gilt buckle. The
bodice, like the skirt, is slashed in front,
and shows folds of purple velvet under
meath; but the most becoming feature of
the whole gown is the very novel wide col
lar of gray cloth edged with a rich oriental
embroidery in delicate colors and beads and
opening wide over a gilet of white gUipure
over white satin The standing collar of
guipure is trimmed with two black satin
bias folds and is covered at the back with
a pointed flaring collar of gray cloth lined
with purple velvet.
Novel sleeves.
The form of the sleeve is very graceful
being tight to the shoulder, where it widens
into a pleated puff which is cut in one
piece with the sleeve. The wrist is deco
rated by band of oriental embroidery and
a saucer puff of purple velvet.
An artistic novelty is represented in the
sleeves, the form of which fits the arm very
closely to the wrist and is covered with a
number of rows of satin bias folds The
fullness at the shoulder is supplied by
graceful puff of gray cashmere, which fol-
lows exactly the lines of the full part of
the bodice
IuckS have lost none of their popularity
for having been the mode of decora ton for
two seasons, and evening blouses and even
ing gowns show an abundance OF this trim
ming.
One extremely chic model of pale rose
coiored satin is trimmed solely by rows
upon rows of fine tuckS- The skirt which
Is cut round, is very novel, with deep di-
agonal band of these tuckS upon one side
While the other Is quite plain The bodice
is composed of tucks entirely which meet
al sharp angle in the middle of the back
ana front, and even the little basque is
tucked, and a jeweled gold belt holds th,,
IuI4ness of the blouse in place. The deep
decollette is surrounded by three tiny satin
rufhes and is finished out with shirred rose
colored mousseline de sole finishing around
the throat with high collar of pearls The
long tight sleeves also consist of shirred
mousseline de Sole
DecoIIete Gowns
While decollete gowns are made to suit
the most fastidiously prim person by the
insertion of daintiest, most hattering
chemisettes of shirred mousseline de sole
the same soft material is adopted to imi-
tate the appearance of decolIete waists on
d Ilsh-hecked bodice-by a yoke of the
same over the tightly stretched silk or
satin lining. Vi
