Sleeves are being made with a band of
three tucks around the armhole, SO as to
keep them quite fiat. and yet give little
relief to the severe outlines which not every
shoulder can do with. A sloping shoulder
line is once more the accepted standard of
beauty. For this reason. apparently we are
in love with fichus. and We are coming to
scarfs: the fichus are made In batiste, in
organdy and in net. and often in Powered
muslin, but the scarfs are mostly white
In Paris they are often made in silk, with
fringed ends. Here they are generally mus
lin. Our grandmothers wore soft surah
silk. with rich brocaded ends, blue and
black finding special favor. and many gauze
scarfs were worn at the beginning of the
century with embroidered ends, SO, per-
haps. We shall come to some of these. We
are adopting transparent yokes, collars and
collar bands. but the great art is to make
them as high and no higher than they are
needed 1t Is great mistake to have them
so that they turn down in wear. A novel

stitched plain band Of ribbon, passing
through large dull gold buckle at the
throat and finished off in a pointed short
tab 1t looks well for travelling and morn

The COlOrs for Autumn.
From the Womsn's Home CompaniOp

When you ask what colors are to be worn
throughout the autumn months one can
safely answer. Wear anything that is be-
coming from black to white, touching all
the coors on the way" Heliotropes and
violets are out in new shades and when be-
coming are stylish and pretty Gray is
much worn, and has honestly Won the name
of ''aristocratic" coloring. The soft
light grays are more worn than those of
blush tint, and are mostly made of solid
color, and should be worn with an all
black hat trimmed in soft ostrich and tulle
effect. For very dressy carriage or calling
wear many women affect the all-white hat
with the gray gown, and invariably the ha t
has bird of paradise in white as a trim
ming. Many shades of blue are announced
Tor autumn. but are mostly worn in the
morning. The new tan shades run much
lighter.

Your Mirror Deceives You.

The reflection in the mirror does not

If the looking glass told the truth the sales
of various complexion washes would great
ly decrease. for any fair skin looks gray
and pallid in a glass. and as result many
women ruin their splendid compilations by
trying to improve them because they look
bad in the mirror.
You may be certain that however plain
your face seems, 1t is not plain as II
appears in the telltale mirror Secondly,
you cannot assume your natural expression
while peering in looking glass. The eye
must be in certain position before you
can see at all, and the eye. SO far as ex-
preston is concerned, governs the face.
The consequence is that you can see only
one of your expressions in the glass, and
that of tentative examination.

For water colcrs the ground powder
should be mixed with patent size. For oil
it is mixed with japanners gold size, tur-

different shades are produced by mixing
the various crude colors with white to
tighten them, turpentine being used spar
ingly, as its effect is to thin the paint.

Special CORES pondence of The Evening Star.
PARIS, August n. 1899.
Ribbons and gauzy frills and tchus can
work wonders just now on the summer
gowns that beginning to have that
slightly passe air that gowns always have
at the end of the season.
The somber fall gown that one has to
don on the chilly autumn afternoons seems
almost inappropriate for the season, unless
1t is garlished with a gauZy cravat or some
bright touches of ribbon. The French wo-
men have gift of making these attractive
little CONNECTIONS with the bits found in
the remnant baskets of the big shops. Then
of course, they are very reasonable, but
when must buy them ready made they
have to be included among the luxuries of
ones toilet, for then they represent pretty
round sum.
Detachable Jokes and plastrons made of
gauzy materials and lace entre-deux are
not much in favor the fichu forms.
Fichus vary much IN length and fluffiness,
some of them being crisp little affairs,
crossing and ending abruptly at the bust
line while others reach to the bottom of
the gown.
An ecru lawn gown that was losing a bit
of its freshness was reiuvenated with black
gauze, and the effect was delightfully."- chic.
The gauZe was fashioned into short full
scarf, with full fril of the same border
ing side and both ends. 1t was draped
quite low over the shoulders and crossed
at the front. where it was held by huge
square strass buckle. The same eauZe was
employed for the sash which was narrow,
but long enough to make two loops and
ends that reached to the bottom of the
gown. \ broad band of fringe headed by
heavy cream guipure gave a finish to the
ends.
Chiffon and Luxeuil Lace.
One of the new. long Marie Antoinette''
fichus is of cream chiffon incrusted with
IuXeuil lace. The pattern of the lace is
traced with tiny ruchc of bright orange
mousseiine de sole. These mousseline de
sole ruches are much in vogue just now and
are replacing the ruches of comet ribbon
and velvet that have been used SO exlen-
eively.

FRENCH GENERAL STAFF.
Net Closing Around 1t Slowly But
Steadily.

Paris, May 3.-Slowly but steadily the
net is closing around the French general
staff in the Dreyfus revision inquiry.
Gen. Mercier, who was minister Of war at
the time Dreyfus was condemned, on be-
ing called upon by M. DeFreycinet, the
present minister of war, to produce the
report regarding the secret dossier which
Lieut.. Col. Du Patty de Clam testified
he had destroyed IT.; and he called Gen.
Gonse as witness to the truth of his
statement Unfortunately for Mercier,
Gen. Gonse had already testified before
the court Of cessation that although Mer-
cier destroyed the original. he kept a
copy.
Another anti Dreyfus argument has re-
ceived its death blow. Gen. Zurliuden,
military governor of Paris, and Others
while testifying before the court of cnssa-
ton. attached great importance to the
closing sentence of the bordereau. II am
starting for the manoeuvres" as proving
the guilt of Dreyfus, and the innocence
of Esterhazy inasmuch as the staff pro.
bationers were only notified on August
20 that they would not be required to
attend the manosuvres. 1t has now been
proved that this notification was actual
Iy May II. Therefore Dreyfus could not
have written 81 am starting for the
manoeuvres, in the following August.
1t is rumored that it was Lieur. Col. Du
Patty de Clam himself who communicated
to the Figaro the depoSitions made before
the court of cessation.

FROM AGUlNALD0.
Filipino Envoys Admit They Are From
the Insurgent Leader.

Manila, May 3-12. 10 p. m.-There was
a conference lasting two hours today be-
| tween Major 4. S. Otis and the envoys
who came here from Gen Antonio Luna.
| bearing proposal for cessation of hos
| tilities.
Gen. Otis adhered to his refusal to REQ
| ognize the so-called government of the
| insurgents.
) The Filipinos now ask for truce of
three months to enable Aguinaldo to
summon the Congress and consult with
the insurgents leaders Cd others of the
| Islands.
The ENJOYS admitted the contention of
Gen. Otis that Asuinaldo has little con-
trol over affairs outside of the island of
Luzon.
The question of release of Spanish
prisoners in the hands of the FilIpinos
being mentioned Major Manuel Areuel
les, the chief member of the deputation,
said that he considered them as being in
the same category with the Americans,
Spain in dominion over the Island and
acquiring by treaty all Spanish rights and
obligations.
alter the close OF the conference with
Gen. Otis the Filipino envoys had con-
sultaton with the United States Philip
pine commissioners.
p m.-The Filipino envoys, Major
Manuel Arguelles and Lieut.Jose Bernal,
have abandoned the pretense under which
they came to Gen. Otis, that they repre-
sented Gen. Antonio Luna, and today
they announced that they came as repre-
ssntatives of Agulnaldo himself
The two emissaries used all their wiles
to eecure a reply from Gen. Otis to the
letter from Senior Habini, Aguinaldo's
prime mi mister and minister of foreign
affairs in the dictator's cabinet, which
they presented to Gen. Otis yesterday,
but Gen. Otis refused to make any reply
on the ground that to do so would be
equivalent to recognition of the So
called government of..the Filipinos.
Major Arguelles said that Aguinaldo
knew he would be overpowered in time
but that he would be able to continue the
fight for months and that he would do
so unless he were given what Major
Arguelles termed peace with dignity.
mir. Sohurman, the president of the
United States Philippine commission, ex-
presses the opinion that the interviews
accorded by Gen. Otis to the Filipino
ENJOYS viii have a good moral effect rs
tending TO convince Aguinaldo's repre-
sentatives that the American authorities
mean to give the Fiiipinos a good gov
ernment and not of the Spanish sort.
