All KINDS OF pins-pins with pearl heads,
pins with blue heads, pins with black and
White heads, pins suited, in short to what
ever use they seem best adapted Then
there are hairpins strong enough to hold
up the most laborate couture and hair

laughs merrily and says: That would be
impossible, but in reality believe if any
thing it does it good, because l never go

my face, and it is washed off with hot
water and soap, every bit of it, because
OF the cream that forms the foundation
Ihat was trick that I learned from an
actress who not only understood the art
of make up, but who was able to retain
a beautiful skin off the stage that was
the envy of every other woman"
By the bye, since the tariff has become
so particularly unpleasant everybody is
nobody unless she has among her ac-
quaintances in Paris pleasant girl who
is of wonderful blue blood, possessing very
little money and working hard at studying
art under one of the great masters. Her
duty In life? To send to her friends of
whom she is so fond, and then naturally
for little consideration, a few sketches
of the very latest styles from which adj
mirable gowns may be made by a clever
and cheap little modiste. Nine. High and
Mighty on the avenue, whose charges are
so outrageous, sees you drive by and uses
every naughty word afforded by the
French language because she thinks you
are getting your gowns from Paris. She
little knows the truth. If she did, l do
believe that she, with her cocheats, would
unite and have a special high rate of Gus
toms put on private letters supposed to
contain drawings. Four that came to me
the other day were the very latest thing
as approved in the gay city and showed
not only the possibility but the certainty
of the fiounce. They also showed that
lovely woman is going to cling to pur-
pie as long as a single drop of that color
of dye is left.
OF these four gowns the one that 1 am
thinking Of initiating is that which is made
of heliotrope taffeta, with a princess back
a corselet of guipure and front that,
buttoning slightly over at one side, really
shapes a deep tablier or apron front fin
ished with frills of fine French lace The
usual crush band of black satin is about
the neck, and the hat is worn as only a
Frenchwoman can wear a hat. The other
purple one is of the new satin cloth and
has a plain skirt trimmed with a founce
that starts at each side of the waist line,
being very narrow there and widening az
it comes down and goes around the edge
of the skirt. IL is headed with white gui1
pure, and the revers and gilet are also
of guipure, while the crush belt is of white
satin. The other you will wear is of white
satin. The other you will wear to a gar
den party. 1t is an organdie that has a
white ground with pink flowers on it and
is made up over pink lawn. There are
ruffies at the side of the skirt, while the
bodice has huge pastron of plain pink
with appliques of white upon it. and the
sleeves are also pink This gown is the
sort that could be made for almost moth
ing provided the maker knew how to give
it that intangible air of greatness that be-
longs only to the gowns made by verita-
BILE artists.
The last is the tailor-made. Oh, Joy! Oh
rapture! That is the Frenchwoman's idea
of a white duck gown. Because a gown is
cotton the French woman does not believe
| it is meant to be laundered Indeed she
never connects a laundry and a~frock, but
cares so well for the frock that it does not
become soied, or when ii does it is out of
fashion. This gown of white duck is tailor
made has a plain, close-fitting skirt a
jacket with semi-loose fronts decorated
with huge pearl buttons and worn over a
| yellow silk shirt waist trimmed lengthwise
with rows of narrow black lace and finish
ed at the neck and throat with fiaring
bows of black velvet. The hat is a white
neapolitan, made smart with yellow chf-
| fOn and yellow wings.
| Isn't that gown adorable? Do you think
there would be any special harm in wor-
| shipping il? 1 am sure from the pictures
l have seen of the various angels that
there is nothing like it in the heavens
above, while sketches of various fishes and
other things peculiar to the depths of the
sea prove that nothing compared with ii is
! found in the waters under the earth
Therefore, if not, why not? Somebody says,
You're perfectly foolishI' And l laugh
and look at the sunshine and thank the
good Lord for giving me a streak of folly,
| for without that should be a tiresome old
wretch whom you would invariably ad-
dress as Barbara and never CALI Bah.
