pie masculine cravat of that species by
any means but a length of satin, may
be of silk or silk muslin, of any color
she likes, tipped with crisp double frills
of tulle or q little row of fur tails, or
silk fringe. Fringe is positively the lat
est, and sometimes long Roman
striped or scarlet scarf is tied under the
chin in large bow knot. while fash
ing jeweled pin is fastened right in the
heart of the bow. That pin is apt TO be
small turtle, all of diamonds, or tiny
scorpion of rubies else-wonder of Won
ders-a scrap of a mouse carved from
clear pebble, and set with jeweled eyes,
claws and tail. This, though, is only
an eccentricity of the moment that a
faithful chronicler of fashion must note.
LOVELY TEA GOWNS.
Another. little within of the hour. by
which every resourceful womankind
furnishes up her wraps, is that of deco
rating with bows, lace and buckles the
shoulders Of her cloth or fur cape or
cloth coat. Those used in the evening
show little bouquets of flowers tucked
in, too, and every woman in a low cut
gown who attends a ball, dinner or the
opera, wears a species of cape. 1t really
is scarcely more than a cOllarette, made
of a muslin ruff, about six inches deep,
with flowers tucked into the Fittings
and long ribbon ends attached TO the
ruff, with rhinestone buttons. Yet an
other taking idea for the evening is the
shadow gown that is usually an old
pale colored or half sciled white silk
with a full petticoat of black chiffon
over it.
Again, too, as we get within hailing
distance of Lent it is becoming a usual
thing for hostesses to receive at teas
in what English women have always
considered and worn as the gown for
the occasion. Up to this time some
lovely tea gowns have been aired at af-
ternoon receptions One and all they are
made with lengthy trains and the rear
end of the tea garment is a matter of
dominant moment. The train is sup
posed to be of an entirely different but
harmonious material and color from
the body of the garment. On white tea
gowns gorgeous black satin trains, gilt
tering with silver spangles, have been
seen. else silk, decorated with raised
velvet figures, appears. Such an one
is the tea gown sketched this week.
Its train has a background of pale
pink silk, with long green velvet fern
leaves embossed on it and turned back,
from the figured net front are revers of
green velvet. edged with ermine. Open
threats and long sleeves are character
istic of the reception dress, and with
ecru lace over bright silk stockings.
BECOMING UNDERGRADUATES.
But this is par excellence the season of /
bargains in undergarments, white goods,
and though we get our patterns LOT
lingerie from France We make on TINS
side the water the daintiesL cheap I'M
derwear. In England they use cotton
goods, like sheeting. threadlke, ana
ocean cable. and a needle like clotheS-
mol
hand. while in Paris only the Sheerest
batists and real lace. with maze or
ribbons seems at all tempting.
Here in America. however, we use a
thin weave of cotton. the sewing machine
with ability embroidery with taste, and
the woman OF small means can clothe
herself both prettily and most ineXpen-
sively, as the January bargains have
proved over and over again. Attention Is
politely directed to the three new styles
of chemise illustrated with this letter
The one with the ribbon shoulder traps
is especially recommended TO the woman
who has flesh to consider. The straps
are made of washing ribbon, ana the sec

who is so slender she can afford to have

top of her stays and who can wear lamp

attractive pattern for her trouss eau under |

being made of china linen, trimmed with a
wahsable point de Paris.
More and more attention is turning
now to white petticoats, made with deep
elaborate ruffies, headed by beading
