The skirt was cut circular and very
close to the figure. The two narrow
pleats in the back were held down by
half dozen cloth buttons, as were
also the pockets in the front A Rough
Rider hat of dark gray felt and heavy
bull dog shoes of tan, with gray
castor gloves, completed suit made
to brave the elements.
A suit that surprised one was made
of Melton, not that Melton is particu-
larly novel in itself, but it is so heavy
one would never think of making an
entire dress of it. However, we saw
so many of the long, driving coats
made of Melton, at the horse show,
that, perhaps, a bicycle suit of Melton
is happy medium. At any rate, this
suit was happy thought.
A MELTON SUIT.
Mannish in the extreme was short
little box coat, double breasted and
fastening under fly. The skirt too,
was severe in cut and finish; the dark
est shade of olive green was this suit,
with the stitching finish also of green.
If you keep up with bicycle news
you will find out two funny things
one, that some women insist upon rid
ing diamond frame because it is
stronger and more rigid, and another
is, that bicycle company has lately
introduced mems wheels built on the
lines of a woman's wheel. The COM
pany proves that they last longer, as
they give all over, not being so rigid

winter bicycle suit is now a part of the
wardrobe and the city whose street
cleaning commissioners do not keep
at least one avenue ready for the
wheelwomen is, indeed, to be pitied.
Styles are made for warm wheel
ing suits as they are made for sea-
shore dresses and in many of the
most fashionable windows on Fifth
avenue there are handsome modes that
could have no other designation
A dog coat display was feature
of one of these windows. But" said
the modist, who showed the tiny blan-
kets, "of course no woman is. guilty
of the cruelty of compelling a fine dog
to race with the wheel. These are
merely for show up and down the hills
of Central Park, when the rider dis
mounts every few PAGES to give the
dog breathing space
THE MATERIAL.
No material is more satisfactory
than the heavy. golf suitings, double
faced, with either plaid check or a
plain warm red. Such jaunty suit
was made of smoke gray golf cloth,
faced with the richest cherry red or
a deeper shade than cherry perhaps.
The little bloused jacket was caught
in at tie waist with a stitched cloth
belt and turned back in coat reyers
from red silk waist, and tie and high
linen collar.
Around the jacket and the sleeves.
at The same line, were eight or ten tiny
stitched tuckS. Just above the hem
of the skirt was another bunch of
tuckS.

THE BOSTON WAY,
A Very Clever Scheme by Which Bos-
ton Housewives Manage to Pre-
serve Their " Atmosphere"
Atmosphere in Boston is everything

Atmosphere in Boston is everything.
You do not need to visit the Back
Bay to find it out. Boston has many
clever ideas which, elsewhere, would
be hailed as marvellous discoveries to
be told all the world.
In Boston they are simply innova-
tions to be copied throughout the city
and dropped there. For Boston is one
of those cities which does not believe
in trumpeting it's benefits to the winds
of the harbor.
One of the most original devices
to be found in Boston, or elsewhere,
is the now almost universal one among
people of wealth-that of building the
kitchens Of beautiful houses on the top
floor. 1t takes money to do it, of course,
but there is plenty of that sort of
thing in Boston when they care to
spend it.
The kitchen of four-story house,
instead of being located in the base
ment or under the ground, as it would
be in New York, is constructed on the
top floor. The kitchen ranges are lift
ed to the top story and the faucets
and other kitchen furniture are all
located in this great, upper, airy quar-
ter.
The laundry is also built up there
and if the kitchen is in the back, the
laundry is located in the front The
cook, who is generally relegated to the
dark regions below, has beautiful,
light room in which to perform the
marvels by which she turns white
powder into bread and raw meat into
croquettes.
When the feast is completed it
is placed upon dump waiter and is
lowered to the dining-room, where the
dining-room maid takes it off and
spreads itAupon a table.
In this way Boston drawing rooms
are kept free from the odor of cooking
and Boston caller is spared
the embarrassment of seeming
the dinner which is to be
eaten that night. 1t is quite
delightful to make a call in Boston
without being compelled to know
whether your hostess intends having
corned. beef and cabbage or a simple
roast for dinner, and all this is accom-
plished by the delightful method of
building the kitchen on the top floor.

MOST BEAUTIFUL
WOMAN In LONDON
The Countess of Warwick, With Her
Wonderful Gowns and Jewels, Is
Clever, and Among Other Things,
She Originated the Fad Of
Furnishing Oriental Rooms.

The most beautiful woman in Lon
don to-day is the Countess of War
WICK, who, having ioutlived the fresh
ness of her early youth, is now en-
Joying the charm of more mature pow
ers
1t is said that the Countess is go
ing on 40, and in the peerage she is
scheduled at figure very near the
latter, but in appearance, in manner,
in everything except the birth certifi-
cate, the Countess is as youthful as
ever, and much more charming than of
yore.
The we'll preserved woman of to-
day, specially as one finds her in Lon
uon society, is slender, with the exact
measurements of her youth. The Prip-
cess OF Wales boasts that she can wear
| the very gown in which she travelled
over England as bride. 1t was a
gray dress, after the first day of the
Journey in which a royal bride travels
IN white, and fitted her as though she
were moulded into it. Though thirty
five years have passed since then, the
Prlncess can put on the gown and but
ton it. She could wear it were the
style in date now.
The same may be said of the beau
tlful Countess of Warwick, who has
one of the loveliest figures in Eng
land. The Countess has a sharp, clear
profile with nose inclined to be too
prominent, but her complexion and the
loneliness OF her-teeth make her face
one OF dazzling beauty.
During the past year this lady of
high degree surprised London society
by presenting it with boy which was
said to have been fed upon the Schenk
diet, but to this the Countess has re-
fused to give actual confirmation,
though there is little doubt in the
mind of her friends that she was a
patient of the famous specialist.
AS, Lady Brooke, this charming
woman was known for her political
aspirations and for her personal fas-
cinations, and 1T IS difficult to mention
her a failure at either. AS a public
speaker she early distinguished her
self, and had she remained in the field
as did Lady Randolph Churchill, she
would have undoubtedly been the
sturdy politician which the latter now
is.
Lady Brooke's fads have always
been the fads of London. Her favor
lite color is blue, which she wears with
pearls of the most delicate hue Her
collection of seventeen grain pearls is
the finest in the world. Her favorite
style of dress is the soft, fluffy effect
which she never discards, adapting all
the recent modes tot this delicate trim
ming. In the street she wears always
tailor-made gown; and the best tail
ors of London advertise that they are
tailors to her ladyship, the Countess of
Warwick.
For many years Lady Brooke held
only that title, but when two years
ago2 upensthe= death of a relative, her
husband succeeded to the title. of Earl
of Warwick, she accepted the rise
in the social seale-which was merely
in name-and became the proud bearer
of one of the first titles in England.

One set of PATHS underwear de-
serves special mention. 1t is CT heavi-
est. flannel, for use in the ST. Petersburg
winters, for Patti will take northern
tour shortly; she takes many northern
tours. The texture of the flannel is
ribbed, with each rib carrying a tiny
thread of, silk, which runs through it
| like stripe. Around the edge of each
one of the wooden articles and there
are seven-though only one petticoat
| is included-is series of slit-like OPEN
ings woven in the wool through which
a ribbon is run. A delicate band which
! protects the body on very cold days is
treated in this novel way until it be-
| comes an article of beautiful apparel
iiS-l ippoiio Sdil ne uTdWn up ana the
band frightened until it fits the figure
as closely as desired. This is a very
nice suggestion for bicyclists and to-
bogganers and those who like the mid
winter sports.
Patti has always been very careful
of her health, fact to which her
/ friends attribute her youthful appear
j ance at an age when most women
count themselves on the shelf in the
safe repose of grandmotherdom But
Patti, like Bernhardt, is still young,
even for the part which she plays in
life's drama, and might suggest the
scarcely mature girl upon the stage,
even to-day.
Wooden leggings are in this wool
set. They are of very dark grey, knit
ted to fit the calves and are drawn on
over the foot and secured above the
knee, with a ribbon elastic Odd to
see such articles in the trousseau of a
bride, but necessary in Sweden fol-
Patti will be cosmopolitan.
Patti is described by a young harp
list who visited her at Craig v Nos to
be singularly lovely in repose. The
singer was lying upon a couch, in a
negligee of soft pink flannel with lace
i framing her face. Her hair, natural
i ly curly. lay in tight rings on neck and
forehead and her glorious eyes shone
like stars softly lighted

THE TROUSSEAU
OF MADAME PATTI
All the Fine Needlewomen of Europe
Are Submitting Designs For Ex-
quisiteWhite Lingerie, Hand
Made and Sheer, as the
Most Delicate Lace. =

The reported engagement of Ma
dame Patti to a man born in 1870; and
the delight of Madame Patti over the
same has thrown all circles into a
pleasant flutter of gossip and expecta-
ton. That Patti at 55 should marry
again is no wonder, for she is one of
| the worlds great women, famous in
this as she will be in future genera
| ton. And for such women there is
neither age nor time. Nor is it re-
markable that she should select a very
young Swedish Baron for a husband.
| Great persons are allowed great lati-
tude; and the world stops not to Won
| der nor remark that Patti should have
! refused a Rothschild for a Cedarstrom,
nor a king for "a Baron. She is, and
always will be-just Patti!
From the point of the engagement
the mind feminine turns to the reports
lof her trousseau, which are reaching
this country by degrees. Patti tried
| to keep the trousseau quiet, but as well
shout secret to the echoes and bid
| them be still, as order a trousseau of
the modistes of Paris and Berlin and
expect them to observe secrecy regard
| ing it. AS one of them remarked to a
| customer: ut would be wrong to our
patrons. We must give them the bene-
| fit of our experience and knowledge"
Whatever other designs Patti may
have in her mind, it is settled that the
great bulk of her trousseau lingerie
shall be white. And, as she is now hav-
ing her lingerie made, ahead of her
gowns, the busy needles of the lingerie
makers are at work upon it,
In Berlin they work mostly by
hand, and you can imagine the infinite
patience of the tuck layers and the
skill of the ruff1ers
PATHS taste is for embroidery, not
of the great holey sort, but delicate,
thin embroidery, with every stitch as
carefully taken as though it We're upon
net lace. She has twelve complete sets
of embroidered underwear no two sets
alike, and no two suggesting each other
in anything, except that they are
white.
In each set there are, according to
an American woman who recently ex-
amined a set, seven pieces, consisting
of the two parts of a combination suit,
two petficoats, long and short a cor
set cover, nightrobe and short dress
ing jacket. TIE material, while not
transparent, is very fine and silky to
the hand and must have been cost
lier than silk. The modiste told her
that some of the sets were in cream
white, others in blue white, some in
ueao WiiitS, uiith really tnere were
half dozen shades of white, all as
distinctive as white can only be in the
finer grades of material.
The cut of the garments was rather
snug around the waist line, but very
voluminous otherwise. The under
petticoat reached only to the knees.
while the other one was cut after Ma
dame PATHS dress skirt pattern.
The corset cover was not intended
as such. 1t was a continuation of the
corset, for it began at the neck and
extended only to a point a little below
the bust line, where it was secured in

This is the picture of a girl who

as the Hobson spot.

and call it my Hobson spot Others

When you speak of Rev j. B Erwin

call him Joe. He is as popular as he is
eloquent, as gallant as he is courageous,
as joyial and social as he is consecrated

years at Clarksyille have expired, he is a

prepared TO 90 wherever he is sent, while
others will be greatly disappointed il
they don't get him.
