GOWNS FOR TAILOR MADE GIRLS
Stylish Costumes That Appeal to
Every Sensible Woman.
A MODEL OF GRAY CLOTH
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
BRUSSELS. February 10, 1898.
In the sp'ing woman's fancy turns to
dress. as mans does to love according to
the poeD, and We are not very sure but
what the latter may be the outcome of the
former. For she is most irresistible-the
modern maid, as she steps out into spring
balm and sunshine, the very essence of
spring itself, and rivaling nature, whose
fairest child she is-in newness of garb and
brightness of color.
From her standard of beauty and grace
she is inclined to look pityingly upon such
exalted models the Venus of Milo her
self. and wonders how woman got on and
what they had to think about before the
days Of stays and extenders and frills and
furbelows and tailor-made gowns.
These latter particularly make such a
fitting frame to the picture of emancipa-
tion for which she intends to pose-they
are 50 mannish, you know! Imagine man
wearing a triple sailor collar, yoke of
Neivet and a vest of mOuSseline de Soei
However, these accessories look charming
on the FIN de steele woman, and thus they
fulfill their missions, and the fair wearer
is satisfied, and thus, long as woman
cultivates her natural instinct of the be-
coming and the beautiful In appearance,

and the "Ewig Weibliche." as Goethe so
eloquently terms it, will never be lost in
the surge of fancies. whims and fashions.
For Sensible Women.
The tailor-made gowns appeal to every
sensible woman as being the most suitable
garment for spring outdoor wear the ma
terial and form being impervious alike to
March winds and April showers.
The jacket and plain skirt are most con-
venient; but in this season of elaborate
trimmings. the woman who looks to beauty
a. well as practicabiity has discarded
them on the ground that they are too Sc
we're. Fashion, therefore, offers a number
of beautiful and appropriate models, one
of which We submit to the American pub
H.
This model is made up Of silver-gray
cloth. and is lined throughout with laven-
der taffeta. The skirt has a very novel
shape. The front gore is one long and
borrow piece, which appears as a tablier,
while the side and back breadths form a
KIDD of low. tight yoke. extending below
TIE knees at the sides, and reaching higher
at the back. To this yoke is attached a
wide skirt. the fullness of which is gath

The Cooks Garb.

Sallie Joy White in the Womans Home Companion.
Wear big aprors-regular pinafores that
button in the back and have long sleeves,
full bishop sleeves that will go on over any
dress, and that are held around the wrists
by elastic cord, that may be slipped out
when the apron is laundered. This pima
fore is usually made of white or some
pretty print, light colored, because IL looks
fresher and is just easy to launder as a
dark one. This cooking apron should be
worn Tor no other purpose. You car see
for yourself how much nicer II Is 10 come
to your work OF preparing delicate dishes
with an apron which you have not worn
while sweeping, or doing any osher work
that would mean getting dust particles in
it, even with great care. With the apron
is worn a pretty little cap made from mus
lin or from a pocket handkerchief: this
keeps the flying articles of flour from set
tling in the hair. ard 1t also keeps the hair
in place. Then pinned 10 one side is a small
hand towel, and to The other holder on a
long tape. You know how often the fingers
aeed wiping while you d:e doing even the
simplest bit Of cookery. IL you nave 10
step to the towel rack every time you take
many unnecessary steps. Then you know
what habit unattached holders nave Of
getting mIslaid, slipping out of sight just
when they are needed. Sometimes YOU
can't stop to hunt them up, and then you
make shift with anything, and perhaps
burn your fingers. Well, If you have the
towel and holder fastened to the belt OF
your apron you don't have to cross the
kitchen to use one, and the other can't get
away from you.
Let me tell you something, girls: This
dress is a very becoming one, and you
needn't be afraid to let any one see you IN
the cooking cap and apron. My word for
it, any dish you may COOK will be relished
when you wea- this sort OF costume in its
preparation. Tor in Itself ii suggests neat
ness, daintincss and all the rest that goes
TO make dishes tempting and appctlzing.

Royalty Danced In Ballet.
ago Times Herald.


Many Of the members of the English
royal family are known to take a keen in
terest in the drama, some of them even de-
lighting to take part in theatrical perform
ances. AS far as is known, however, they
have never induiged In ballet dancing on
their own account. 1t was different, how
ever. in the days of Henry VIII, for that
jovial monarch of the many wives actually
encouraged his daughter. the Princess
Mary, to appear before the court as the
principal dancer in several ballets and pam
tomimes. When the princess first appeared
in one of these ballets she wore a black
Grape mask, in the character of an Ethio-
plan princess. but she soon became en-
boldened, and freely took her part as
dancer in the court balls and pageants.
Princess Mary appeared before the
French ambassadors at Greenwich palace
in the spring of 1927, with five of her ladies
in waitines disguised iii Icelandic dresses,
and the contemporary chronicles inform us
that. with six lords in the costume of the
same country, she danced Justify about the
hail." At another banquet and masque. be-
fore the same ambassadors, the Princess
Mary issued from a cave with her seven
women. all appareled after the Roman
fashion, In rich cloth Of gold and crimson
tinsel.

LOndOn's Statue of BOadicea.

From the London Times.
1t will be remembered that for some time
past there has been question what to do
with the late Mr.. Thomas Thornycrofts
colossal statue of Queen Boadicea in Her
War Chariot" which the sculptor's son.
the well-known engineer, offered to give to
the London county council. The casting
has been successfully carried out at cost
rot of 5000, as was at first supposed but
of one-third of the sum. The question is
now narrowed down to that of the site.
The county council has allowed the plaster
model to be placed an experiment In
very conspicuous position, at the point
where Westminster bridge joins the Victo-
ria embankment: and there BOadicea now
stands in her chariot with her prancing
horses in the act it would seem, of charg
ing the house of commons We confess we
have our doubts as to whether the statue
ought to remain there, if only on account
of the lopsided effect which it's presence
lends to the approach to the bridge. A
more important question is whether the
statue is artistically worthy of such very
distinguished position. 1t has very consid-
cradle merits; 1t is ambitious and the
horses have energy and go but it can
not be denied that the whole conception of
the queen and her two attendants is ex-
tremely conventional, and that the model
ing leaves much to be desired.

Amsterdam, Cologne,
Dresden, and Hamburg.

other names are suggested, and it will be
remembered that Nine. Mars, a celebrated
French tragedienne, is said to have been
as beautiful at sixty-five years of age
as in younger days. Mime. de Maintenon
was forty-three years of age when she
welded Louis XIV. Ninon de rEnclos was
the idol of three generations, and she was
seVenty-two years old when the Able de
Barais fell in love with her, and il is
stated that she received a declaration of
love on her eightieth birthday. Diane de
foitiers at thirty-six years of age and for
many years afterward, was considered one
OF the most beautiful women in the court
or France. Cleopatra was past thirty wears
when she enslaved Mark Antony and she
held him enthralled until her death. ten
years later Helen of Troy was over forty
years old when her world-famous clone
ment took place, and when the fortunes of
war restored her to Meneaus, ten wears
later, he received her with gratitude. As
pasta was thirty-siX years old when we'd
ded by Pericles. and at sixty-six years of
age she was still beautiful. Many notable
names could be added to this list of wo-
men whose fascination increased with
years, and whose lives exempified the
truth of the Oft-quoted remark that a
charming woman has no age.

cred into very wide pleats, which meet at
the back.
A Modified blouse.
The bodice of silver-gray cloth slightly
affects the blouse form in 'front.' while
quite tight-fitting at the back, which is
partly covered by large triple sailor col
lar extending over the shoulders and fin
ishing in slender points gathered into the
belt. vest of fulled and crinkled white
mcusselne de sole, confined at the chest and
throat by yoke. and a high standing col
lar of velvet of a darker shade of gray,
and adorned with six buttons of cut steel
The belt is of dark-gray velvet, trim
mingS and buckle of cut steel. The novel
garnitures of the plain sleeve consists of
straps of silver-Sray cloth, attached with
many rows of silk stitching.
The hat is a plain sailor of gray fancy
straw, with a rim edged with a narrow
band of dark-gray velvet. Another band
encircles the crown. which is further
adorned with a gray bird on one side, and
full folds of white. mouSSeline de sole at
the back. Under the rim at the back are
a few pink crushed roses nesting close to
the hair. This brings us to the subject of
millinery.
Flowers SuppInnt Feathers.
We are thankful to say that birds and
feathers will be abandoned as decorations
and artificial flowers will take their place,
and will be gladly welcomed, for their
beauty is exquisite.
Headgear this spring is more graceful and
becoming than 1t has been for a long time
the clumsy top-heaviness which has char
acteriZed the winter hat being discarded
for more natural shapes and trimmings of
masses of spring flowers, bows of ribbon
and puffs and rolls of mousseline. Stand
ard straws, like Panama and Leghorn, are
again coming to the fore, and hats follow
the same rule gowns. The form will be
simple, but the trimming must be rich and
various. The crowns are generally low and
the brims wide.
A charming model is a white Leghorn
with the approved low crown and fat round
brim A very full wreath of forget
nots, SO natural that one could fancy them
just picked from the border of the meadow
brook, is laid over the crown of the hat, not
encircling it, however. but just falling over
it; the brim Is turned up at the back and
trimmed with pink roses and black velvet
ribbon and a buckle The open space that
is left in the center of the wreath Is filled
in by very Understanding bow Of black
velvet ribbon held by an exquisite strass
buckle.
Another Novelty.
Another novelty is seen on a large hat of
white straw trimmed with roses and white
chiffon and white satin ribbon. 1t con-
sists of long strings of this white ribbon
which are brought forward and pinned in a
legere bow at the chest, thus forming be-
coming frame to young face.
Bonnets. though worn only by elderly la
dies, are dainty little conceits, made for the
purpose of lending charm to the occasional
silver threads among the glossy hair and
giving beautiful dignity to the few wrin-
kles wh.>-- have ruffied the brow as a re-
suit of serious thought and stern contact
with the realities of life
Velvet bonnet strings have been replaced
by full "barbes' of net illusion or lace
which are tied in large, full bow under
the chin and prove very fattering.
