The Charms Of Water. Hot and Cold,
in Winter.
From the New York Pres

From the New York Press.
There are many people who think that
cold water can be dispensed with for the
additions in winter, and they diligently use
hot water for the cleansing Of their faces
and figures, with, in so many cases, this dire
result, viz, that their skin being so con-
stantly exposed to heated moisture, is more
liable, when coming into contact with
cutting wind and cold air, to lose its velyety
smoothiness. If not become ruined, rough
ened and aged in appearance.
Personally, l love cold water in winter for
the daily bath, but 1 use it with more care
than in the summer. Whereas in the latter
not half that time is gwen in December.
Moreover, if it be icy cold, I take off the
edge of the frost-like sharpness of the water
by jug of boiling water. This quantity
simply increases its temperature to cold not
even to teDid, which degree l would allow
those Of less robust constitution among my
nieces
1 have a very dear mother now nearing
90 and in summer and winter she has her
cold bath, but previous to it she cleanses
her skin thoroughly with tepid water, soft
ened. using a rough Turkish square in the
process and pure soap. And here let ma
say that l do not believe & good neutral
soap can injure the most delicate skin if,
after it has done its duty. it be thoroughly
removed before the face is dried
There is nc charm in hard water, though
and a skin that is constantly coming in con-
tact with lime and magnesa salts, which
hard water contains, will never be thorough
ly clean or beautiful. Soft water Is obtain
able. but like all scarce commodities, not
always easy to- find. There is the precious

showing one Of the latest skirts is of dark
red cloth.
Where the skirt Joins THE bias ruA,e it is
stitched several times. The Jacket is shor4

The belt is Of black satin and the high collar

modes writes from Paris that perforated
cloths will be much worn the coming season.
Perforations will not be confined alone to
cloth; they even to be found in satin.
a model just from the hands of a leading
modiste is of navy blue satin The lining
is cardinal red. The perforations cover the
entire bodice. including the sleeves, and they
make a yoke the skirt. Cardinal velvet
ribbon makes the waistband, which ends
with half dozen loops and steel buckle in
the back.
Cloth frocks trimmed with velvet bands
matching the cloth in color. are among the
newest fancies. One wide band of velvet
with fur each edge all around the bottom
of the skirt makes effective trimming.
Three bands of fancy braid an inch or 50
wide placed half around the skirt a little
below the waist line, rounding down the front
where they meet with fancy buckle are

Sirnyvs Are of Light Weight.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-List to this
tale OF new and beautiful in millinery
Besides the novelties in shapes there
are several innovations in material.
Vegetable silk has been turned to the
greatest advantage for silky plaits,
ready to be converted into hats or bon
nets. They are far less expensive than
the satin straws, and are marked fea-
ture in the spring modes. We are not
to have dismal colorings; the style of
plating is the same in ALL showing a
pointed edge on one side and recalling
the plaits that We were all skillful in
doing some years ago, in paper, which
were made UP into very presentable
baskets. But whether these plaits are
Of vegetable silk or of satin straw,
they are quite study in color. Tur-
qUoise, light pink. bright heliotrope
shades are used alone, but more often
they are blended with gray, while
brown is combined with pink, blue with
red, and gray with green. There are
some that display opalesque effects,
and these are light and charming, and
so are the cashmerienne plaits. The
straws are of light weight, but the
vegetable silk is lighter still, and there
is great deal of black and white, and
satin ard silk are blended with the
straw in some examples.
We are faithful to pailettes, their
reign is not at all over, and many of
the Dutch bonnet shapes are entirely
composed Of sequins overlapping each
other, while some Of the toQues made
in black net. worked in beads and Sc
quins, are surrounded by wired rings
covered with the same texture and Ella
borately embroidered; they are all quite
different to anything we have had yet
The shapes seem all the more unique,
from the use of colored pIaits and the
quaint shape of many Of the crowns,
often surrounded by straw plaitings.
Many Tartan Mixtures
Assert themselves as a bordering to
red crowns. But, besides straw, there
is a great novelty in the rainbow cloth,
which has a strong tenacity of thread,
almost like horsehair, displaying chine
effects in various colorings, and always
killed. This is employed for the soft
Tom OShanter crowns, set in hard
circular brims, which are covered with
the same material. This fabric is made
in several varieties of tones, some
times the groundwork is yellow, some
times green, mauVe, blue and pink, a
bunch of feathers mostly figures at the
side.
There is a great deal of novelty with
regard to hats of the useful kind for
country and bicycling wear. We have
not quite got away from the boat
shapes, but they will not be nearly SO
much worn as the sailor, though there
are some charming hats with high
crowns, slightly sunk in at the top, and
narrow brims turning up on either side,
surrounded by a band of velvet with
quill thrust through one side. There
is Japanese chip, which is exception
ally light. 1t is to be had in white and
many colors. but one of its great sue
