"THE AT FTERNOONS"
OF LENT.
Though Quiet They Bring Out
Magnificent Reception Gowns.
Grey snd Bronze Dresses-Hats Of Felt
Piled High-Marie Antoinette S
Shapes,

Paris. February 2o-The "after-
moons" of Lent, the receptions,
musicales, rectations and read
ing circles will bring out some of the
most magnificent gowns that the cou-
turieres have been working away at for
months, These afternoons" began a
week ago; for, in their mad desire to
make the last of the season as gay as
possible, they crowded the flower shows
and musicales into the days and nights
of dancing
All, me- Lent will soon be here And
then. Well. they will atone for it in
dressing, if they cannot in dancingi
RECEPTION GOWNS.
went to three afternoons last week;
and in the gowning I noticed that the
heavy silks, bengaline, moire and otto
man were even more in evidence than
the velvet and cloth gowns. Pale gray,
prune-violet and bronze are the colors
most favored, and the varied garnitures
include fur, lace, mousseline de sole,
gorgeous buttons and rich passemente-
ries.
One Of the simplest of these reception
gowns was made Of pale gray benga-
line. The skirt was close-fitting over
the hips, with the fullness at the back
laid in two fat box plaits 1t fared
considerably at the bottom.
The corsage fitted close into the curves
of the figure. 1t was trimmed down
the front with five rows of mink tails
overlapping one another. -Four rows of
the same trimmed the back of the cor
sage. Just at the waist line, the cor
sage was rounded off, but the mink tails
continued four inches below.
A ceinture Of orange glace taffeta with
a bow at the left side, gave finish to
the bottom of the corsage. Frills of the
orange taffeta filled in the high Medicis
collar that was finished with an edging
Of mink The sleeves had only the
merest suggestion of fullness at the top.
They were finished at the hand with
frills Of the taffeta and narrow bands
Of fur.
The skirt, all nicely arranged by
Marie, in the dressing room, hung to
perfection.
LITTLE HATS.
With these popular gray toilettes are
worn the most bewitching little hats of
white felt that greatly suggest the
Marie Antoinette, piled high with choux
of spangled tulle. Between the folds of
the tulle are caught numberlesss tWigs
of mistletoe. with the leaves all frosted
ever with spangles. Others are draped
with plumes.
a smart reception gown of cloth was
in two shades of heliotrope. or rather
the darker shade of the velvet was near
er petunia than heliotrope. The skirt
of pale heliotope cloth, fitted close over

THE LANGUAGE OF
MAU.
CFrom the Forum.)

The EsquinIanan language, which is
hemisphere, is also found IN the north
of Asia The people have been called
Orarians, that is, ''dwellers on the
shore" They inhabit a narrow strip Of
country around the margin of Green
land, and to the west of l3affins Bay,
around all the great islands and down
the coast to the Gulf of ST. Lawrence,
on the western shore of Hudson Bay,
and about the bays and straits of the
north; then to the west around Alaska
and still further along the Arctic shores
of the eastern. continent. They thus ex-
tend along the winding island and
mainland coast for more than ten thou
sand miles, inhabiting a narrow fringe
of country by the sea, and obtaining
their livelihood therefrom. More than
ten thousand miles of coassland are oc-
cupied by people who speak one lam
guage,
But in Newfoundland there are tribes
which speak another tongue mixed with
the Esquimauan. while on the southwest
coast there are ether tribes speaking
mixed tongues, AMI the same is true of
tribes inhabiting the northern coast of
Asia. If we call all these tongues Es-
quimauan, then the principal tongue is
still homogeneous and a common medi-
UNI for the communication of tribes oc-
cupying, as l have said, more than ten
thousand miles of the most difficult
coast known to mankind. While there
is ntercomnlunication, it is infrequent,
because of the difficulties and perils of
Arctic navigation. Thus, in all that
stretch of country there is but one Lam
guage. What are the conditions under
which this language has been preserved
in its integrity and homogeneity? Sim
pig these: The territory occupied by the
people speaking this language is cut off
from the intecio~ by an uninhabitable
belt of glacial land, so that the means
of communication are to be found main
ly on the seaW&rd side. The inhabi-
tarts, having been distributed over this
enormous belt OF coast from a primitive
tribe having one language, Fave pre-
served that language through all their
vicissitudes and stages of culture, while
In the southeast, where the Esquimauan
territory joins territory occupied by
tribes having other tongues we find
mixed languages. The same facts ap-
pear on the southern coast Of Alaska,
in languages differentiated from the
main stock by admixture with other
Languages. Win the exception pointed
out the Esquimauan language is the
prrest language known on this hemis-
phere. So far as they have been studied
ell other languages are corlrounded of
at least two, and usually of many.

FRENCH AND ENGLISH cRusoBs,

French men of letters have not enough
Of the audacious spirit of the English
says Henry D. Sedgwick in the March
Atlantic. They troop to Paris, where
they have been accustomed to sit on
their classical benches since Paris be-
came the centre of France. The Ro-
nance of Villon is the romance of a
Partisan thief; the romance of Ronsard
is the romance of the Partisan salon.
Montaigne lives on his seigniory while
England Is topsy-turvy with excitement
Of new knowledge and new feeling. Cor
nellie has the nobleness of a jeune file
You can measure them all by their
ability to plant colony. Wreck them
on desert island, Villon win pick black
berries, Ronsard will skip stones, Mon
taigne white, Corneille look like a gem
tleman, and the empire of France will
not increase by a hands breadth Take
handful Of Elizabethan poets, and
Sidney would chop, Shakspere would
cook, Jonson dig, Bacon snare, Marlowe
catch wild ass, and in "a hours they
would have log fort, score of savage
slaves, a windmill, a pinnace and the
cross of st. George flying on the tallest
tree.

| the bottom of the skirt there was a

BRONZE GOWN.
One of the most original gowns I not
ed was made of bronze Ottoman shot
lwth f1eoks of black The skirt was close
fitting over the hips with the fuIness
laid in two fiat box plaits. 1t was
trimmed with two strips of black velvet
that commenced narrow at the waist
line and continued down in two per-
pendicular lines that broadened as they
neared the bottom of the skirt There
they turred in rounded corners and fol
lowed the edge of the skirt all the way
round. The velvet was trimmed on
each side with a piping of pale violet
satin The rounded corners were
trimmed with three big gold and am
ethyst buttons.
The corsage was a sort of jacket of
the ottoman, opening over a vest of
violet satin that was covered full with
deep cream mousseline de sole.
1t had revers of black velvet overlap
i1c .Af ,n{fa
ished with a piping of violet satin
Three of the large gold and amethyst
buttons were placed at each edge of the
jacket. The sleeves were moderate in
size and were without trimming Black
velvet with a piping of violet satin
faced the high Medicis collar.
The hat worn with this costume was
a large black velvet affair turning di-
rectly up at the left side. where there
was a great cluster of purple orchids.
At the front of the hat there was a
large square buckle of strass showing
| underneath quantities of black and
white tips.
A PRUNE CLOTH.
A reception gown worn by young
woman just out Of her teens was made
of prune cloth. The skirt of the cloth
was close fitting over the hips with the
fullness at the back laid in two fiat box
plaits. 1t was trimmed around the bot
tom with rows of narrow prune silk
braid that were arranged in points and
| held with tiny turquoise buttons.
The corsage was a blouse of pale vio-
let satin covered with the braid to give
| the effect of bias plaid. An open
work design in gold threads and tur-
quoise stones held the braid in place. 1t
fastened in an invisible fashion at the
| left shoulder and under-arm seam. The
/ sleeves of the cloth were close fitting
/ and boasted but little fulness at the
| top.
A HAND FINISH
They were finished at the hand with
long point that reached quite to the
knuckles. The collar was a high
Straight affair of the violet satin
mounted with frills of violet mousseIine

| with turquoise ornamented the front of
