I'm THE world of dress for 1900 the
outlook is most gratifying from the
h fact that we are to continue the
wearing of picture clothes and aesthetic
colors. Delicate shades increase in
numbers with each months fashion re-
views. We owe this to doctors who
say that light colors are more beneficial
to the health and spirits than dark
ones. Thus we are to have cream col
ored cloth spotted with black velvet
and pale blue, pastel, pearl gray and
wine and water" colors instead Of
darker shades. The automobile color
Is the exact shade of the vehicle which
gives its name to us-that is, kind of
reddish ruby-and is supposed to bring
good cheer with its wearing.
We are told, however, that green in
multitudinous variety is booked as
favorite. Almond green, over which
women are raving, is a curiously elu-
sive shade. suggesting blue and gray
and resembling much what we used to
call willow. Combined with white pan
ne, it is particularly effective. Next in
order might be mentioned the various
shades of red, from deep scarlet to null
berry.
Skirts may be divided into two
classes. The kind which perpetuates
the habit back viii come to US in fitted
cores, sometimes as many as nine
forming the skirt. The other is plait-
ed or may be gathered like the house
maids skirt. A disposition to intro
duce panniers in connection with the
plated skirt will scarcely find much ia
vor. Still, Worth is making a de-
termined effort to foist them upon the
public. Madame predicts that, emanat-
ing from such a source, the pannier,
and not the tunic, will be the success
Of the spring. One of Worth's latest
models has down the back three broad
plaits which depend from a yoke mold
ed closely to the figure, and across the
{: rEt, draped from the right to the left
H,d.s IS looped up tunic which is prac-
ticaNh, the initiatory pannier. The bod
Ice also exhibits a new feature-that of
the handkerchief corner effect, which
Is draped low, producing a sort of slop-
ing shoulder outline. Handkerchief
drapery in some form is to be the
vogue.
Sleeves will fit closely. Those of vel
vet and satin are unlined, and, if in
tended for evening wear, are of the ad-
JuStaDIe klnd-that is, they are not
sewed into the bodice armholes at tho
top, but there is a space left through
which the arms show. Those for din
ner occasions are sewed in, and for
evening wear left off, and oftentimes
are used in two or three different bod
fees. OF course this is not possible unless
the sleeves are of lace, as they har-
monte with either dark or light colors.
Velvet long coats trimmed in satin
ribbon are heralded as the modish spring

palmer silk blouses and are an addi-
ton the home dressmaker can make to
passe blouse with most satisfying re-
suits
Banting is the fad of the new year.
The real secret of banting lies in sys-
tematic living and lack of self induI-
gence. Exercise and moderation will
reduce weight only if religiously ad-
hered to. Lillian Russell has always
had to battle with a decided tendency
to stoutness, and the victory which she
has won and maintained against her
enemy is one of the best proofs on rec
ord that it is unnecessary for any one
to put on superf1uous pounds if one
is willing to apply oneself seriously TO
cure. To the Prince of Wales
belongs the honor of the bulldog

ed Peter, his famous bull terrier, for a
birthday present for one of the princes
friends. When the miniature was fin
ished, SO great was the princes de-
light that he sent for the artist and
expressed his pleasure with her work,
telling her she might make what use
she pleased of his opinion He added
that he thought the princess might
have her dogs portraits done too.
Needless to say, since this time dog

or theater has been adopted in Amer
ica Sometimes these overshoes are of
quilted satin, lined with fur. They
reach far above the ankle, oftentimes
to the knee. Chills ought to be i'm
possible when feet and legs are thus
protected.
Fancy waists for evening wear have
not lost prestige. The 1900 advance
models are strikingly chic and attract
i've. Those of panne velvet are in the
lead, though in making a selection one
is sorely perplexed by a beauteous ar
ray of silk embroidered in tiny gold,
steel and jet beads Two new features
of the separate waist are the square
tab collars and mitt cuffs which fall
to the finger tips. AS much attention
is given these days to the sleeve of a
bodice as was formerly bestowed upon
the fit of the sheath skirt. The cor
rect sleeve fits perfectly, without a
wrinkle or particle of fullness, and is
fastened by hooks and loops or small
crocheted buttons for a depth of six
inches at the wrist, in order to obtain
the glovelike effect. Even the cuff is
made to hug the hand and flares not
at all. Many of the new waists are
made to wear outside the skirt in
which case very narrow belt, scarce
ly an inch and a half in width and like
the blouse, is provided.
All over tucks are still in favor and
are now cut on the bias. A very pretty
example is in polka dot surah silk,
which displays a novel crescent shap-
ed collar, opening in front, with the
widest part ending just under a mod
erately high couture
No recognized rival has usurped the
lace bodice's special distinction as a
theater waist. Chiffon scarfs, choux and
paste buckles, with an occasional intro
duction of colored and black velvet
tabs, are used to vary the style and
keep it in line.
A corn colored silk, with an insert of
white satin embroidered in fine Jet
beads, displays prettily this newest
blouse feature. On stock and cuffs are
also seen the beads set at regular inter /
walls. which at a distance look as if
they were woven into the fabric.
Rose panne velvet, cut in points and
joined by herringbone stitching of
coarse silk, is a pleasing model illus
trated. 1t has box plat in front to
give the slight pouch which has been
revived according to some of the latest
in the barracks of blouses.
On it, too, will be noted the knotted
scarf which English grandes danes are

Gently created quite a sensation Dy
dressing a large diapers window in
solid masses of black and white silk,
in imitation of a certain school of IL
Illustrators so popular just now.
The common mistake in dressing
a window is to put too many different
articles in it and TO try to show them
all to the same advantage. The best
way, perhaps, is to fill the whole win
dow with one kind of goods only in a
special line; then it will attract at
tentiOn. To show what / mean, 1 may
mention that one large London firm
which sells nearly everything makes a
point of dressing its windows in this
way. Each window contains one kind
of goods only. The first will be full Of
cheap jam, the second nothing but
a special line of soap, and so on.
THE fees charged by professionals
are very high, so that it would pay only
a firm doing a very large amount Of
business to employ them"
