PERSONALITIES.

Sir Henry keppel, who is the
father of the British fleet, is just
finishing his autobiography. Sir
Henry lives in London and was born
six years before Waterloo, but not
withstanding his age he is as vigorous
as possible. He was lieutenant in
the British navy as far back as 1929,
and during his active career had
many interesting experiences.
The Spanish royal ensign captured
by the 10th Pennsylvania regiment of
volunteers in Porto Rico, has been
taken to Washington and shown to
President Mckinley. For all any
body knows or ever will know 1t is
the identical flag that General Wey-
ler if he but had his way, would have
hoisted over Washington after bonn
harding Chicago, according to hi
PLANS, which at one time during the
late war were so frequently an
nounced.
When Rough Rider Lewis MAYER

New York the other day Mayor Van

rough rider. The soldiers father
was the first ranchman in Texas who
allowed his cattle to Craze at large

the name maverick" now used all

"a Thanksgiving dinner cooked at home

madam. What home has the kitchen, the
chefs, the conveniences, the materials that

1t was Oscar who spoke. Oscar is to the
the Waldorf Astoria what Hamlet is to the
play of Hamlet" He is 'the maitre
d'hotel. He is everywhere all the time all
day long, upstairs and down, through the
dining rooms, fitting across the corridor, in
his office consulting with the steward or
the chef, looking over new ideas in table
decoration, in candle shades, in linen, sug-
gesting menus for luncheons or suppers, and
is one of the busiest men in New York.

fcrmer was cut en- tablier, the apron part
of the skirt being defined by thick double
piping of cream satin. At the back the in

means of tiny stitched straps of cream-col-
ored satin, each fastening with cut steel

with big dlrectoire revers of cream satin
fastened on the left side with out-steel

huge flare collar faced with crmine, and the
turned-back cuffs, also fashioned la direc-
tore, were ermine-edged also. The vest

vest-was of modern point over cream
satin.
Point lace, too, was the cravat, with the
usual fur bordering, and coat and skirt alike
were lined through with the cream satin.
There was delightful fur toque-ermine to
be exact-wth couple of very erect sable
tails, wired Louis bow Of black velvet

eternal buckle; and at the back, just rest

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-(Special Core.
spondence to The Herald. LIVERY precious
stone now endeavors to hide its light under
bushel by encrusting itself with other pre-
cious stones. This is the fashion of the
present moment, and the elegant woman
now revels in trinkots of the most elabor-
ate description. Among these, sleeve links,
and links for fastening together the fronts
or blouses and coats are in great demand.
They are in every conceivable variety, those

which is to rank first in our affections is
the jargoon, most pleasing novelty, claim
ing kinship with the garnet tribe. In color
it varies from the rich tawny shades of old
brown sherry to brilliant deep orange,
toning wonderfully with the mandarin vel
vet now so much in evidence. BY itself it
is lovely; set in conjunction with pearls it
is more than lovely, the mellow, creamy
tints of the one serving to throw up the
luscious depths of the other.

monopolize all these frivolities; the male
being has much attention paid to his rings,
studs and such like personalia. | saw some
distracting sleeve links for his express edifi

Buttons and clasps are most important
adjuncts. Buckles are being used in the
place OF brooches on the collars of some of
the most elegant new gowns. The one we
illustrate this week has on one side an aqua
marine, and on the other beryl center sur
rounded by pearls and diamonds. Anoth-

form OF a serpent, and is composed of diff

Shopping for a friend

"I don't know whether women make it q
rule to go about shopping for other people,"
said city hair dresser, ''but we find good
deal of unselfshncss in that respect in our
line of business. Our customers rarely ever
shop for themselves. They buy for friends.
Once in a great while Il very young girl will
come in, select two of those little curls they
wear at the nape of the neck, and boldly pin
them on, or have us pin them on for her, in
broad daylight, but the exception is the rule.

switches. We sell any number Of them for
friends of the buyers. They sit in front of

eclipses us with still more sparkling gems,
which no one but herself knows the true his
tory of. Cui bono? Jewels are like human
beings; they seldom get the credit for be-
ing as good as they are.
POLONAISE GOWNS
The polonaise, as have already told you,
has come to stay. For tall woman the
fashion is charming, because nearly all
these costumes have skirts of different color
and material, and this gives variety with
out 6etracting from the appearance of the
wearer. Belts are the latest addition to the
poonaise and the fact often simplifes the
work of the dressmaler, as it enables her
to cut the waist and overskirt separately,
the join being concealed by the belt. Vel
vet sleeves accompany velvet skirt nearly
always, and this, too, adds to the effective
ness Of the costume.
LONG NIANTLES
The "dernier cri" in the long mantles
worn by rich women is the one we illustrate.
It's very simplicity is its charm, as it dis
penses with the hounee en- forme, and de-
pends on the perfection of its cut for its
style.
SKATING GOWNS
Skating, like golf, riding to hounds and
other athletic sports, is gaining upon our
affections, and a special gown for skating is
ordered by many American women. Wis
iting gowns cannot be made to do, for the
upto-date visiting gown is trained. No, it
must be constructed for the exercise, warm,
becoming and chic. Fortunately, | have
been able to get a look at some of these
novelties. The first model ! saw was fash
ioned in pale grey cloth-grey still holds its
own, and is apparently as fashionable as
ever. The skirt, founced as to the back
and sides, had plain front breadth, the
seams on either side being adorned with a
broad application of white CLOTH bordered
on the inner side by narrow black velvet
bcbe ribbon, and on the outer by a finger
width edging OF sable. The bodice was cut
en- bolero and bordered with similar APP

is the mode; belts, clasps, chains, and all
being of curious enamel often wrought with
precious stones. The graceful long chains
are giving place there to shorter ones, and
the whole tendency is towards heavier
style of ornament altogether. Time was
when it would have been considered in the
height of bad taste to display so much jew
elry out of doors, mais nous avons change
tout celia. Still, it is an open question
whether even the approval which fashion
sets upon the practice can bring it under
the aegis of true refinement. To such per-
fection has the art of imitation been
brought that it is only possible for the ex-
pert to distinguish between the real and the
counterfeit. We may wear our ancestral
property serenely conscious of our recti-
tude; our next door neighbor probably

pliques to those on the skirt, the only diff
ference being in the fur edging, which was
somewhat deeper. The vest, of the white
cloth, banded at intervals with sable, and
adorned in between the fur with an en-
broidery of tleur-de-is in black velvet baby
ribbon, was slightly Notwithstanding that
this style still finds favor in the eyes of
Parisennes-the lining throughout being of
grey cashmere, and the accompanying toque
of violet velvet, with tips which shaded
from deepest mauve to palest blue

mere, of the hue known as mastic had the
short skirts adorned with deep applied

a short-banded one, bore a scalloped basque,
the said scallops were lined, as, indeed, the

and bordered with a tiny roleau of caracul.
The aforesaid band was fashioned of cara
cul and clasped with an antique silver clasp.

owner of a very slender waist. The slightly
