NOTES OF THE MODES.
0one Of the Gowns and Wraps That
Are Announced for the Spring
Season.

The frills and graduated founces
added to the fur capes and cloaks OF the
season do not in theleast enhance their
rich appearance; on. the contrary. the
arrangement suggests a compromise
. with fashion and look as if the addition
had been made to lengthen out the gar
nent. Plated and crumpled-top fur
ruttlcs arching from shoulder to shout
der, give u humpiness TO the figure that
is most undesirable. though wlifortu-
nately fashionable; and those who de-
nounce disterding steel springs and
canvas and buckram are made to- gl,oan
under the weight of massed skirt ruff
files. frills, ruches, pl;ritings and draper
les, which produce a similar spreading
effect.
Among the tailors and nlodistes
angles seem TO have been wholly dis
pensed with. Every jacket, coat, cape.
tunic, founce-in short, every garment
that admits it, is rounded and sloped at
its edges. Indoor toilets and street
costumes are alike shaped on this prin-
ciple, and even some of the jackets made
with short Eton fronts have arched
basques of great length dipping at the
back. Sometimes the basque is cut in
one with the waist portion like an Eng
fish walking coat, cut away on the
fronts; again it is added, sloping gradu-
ally backward in polonaise style.
Stylish street gowns for next season
are made of handsome lightweight,
smooth finished costume cloth, with
simple decorations of stitched straps
OF the same material, tailor buttons and
fine silk cord. Very many of the skirts
are cut in circular shape, f1aring con-
siderably at the foot. The pLlits at he
back are closely underfolded, and the
skirt fastens there or else ON the left
side of the front under concealing
straps. The basque bodice is very short,
very chic and feminine in appearance.
and there is a choice between double
breasted, closcly-buttoned model one
open down the front and framed with
graceful revers, a shape cut out in the
neck, with a fancy silk or other gimp
above, or an Eton style with short back
and tabled fronts. Many of the French
jackets cut in double-breasted style
are very much cut away on the fronts,
which OIL the upper part close diagonal
ly from the shoulder to below the waist
In the list Of wrap models for spring
appears garment short and closely
fitted at the back with semiloose fronts
deeply tabled and short, open sleeves.
This model is almost a repetition of the
dolman, Of past days; a most uncomfort-
able garment which pinioned the arms
closely TO the sides, and suggested moth
ing SO much as fowls trussed for mar
ket. One could not raise handker-
chief or umbrella or adjust veil or
stray lock of hair without the risk of q
rending OF strings or material Look
ing over the fashion plates Of times
past, We note the tied-back, over
trimmed and trained dress skirts al
most invariably associated with the
dolman. The new styles are made of
corded silk, armure, or satin royal;
lace, net plaitings, chenille ruches and
fringes, braiding, or glittering sur
face Of jet bead work forming the gar
nitures.--N. y. Post.

While it is usual 70 see these dresses in
the darker shades. nearly all of those
shown in Paris are in bright colors.
One that saw recently is OF bright,
red cheviot serge, the perfectly hanging
skirt-devoid of any fullness at the
back-surmounted by double breast
ed coat. that has by way of trimming
red and gold braid figuring round the

Another shown in the same shop was
Of fawn -colored Venetian cloth. This
was trimmed with triple rows Of stitch
ing on both coat and skirt. The collar
and cuffs are faced with fawn velvet,
and tordered with white MORE, upon
which is arranged design in fawn and
silver braid. Both Of these the sales
man assured me were imported from
London.
Most of the tailor gowns have sheath
like skirts, fitted as closely as they can
possibly be about the upper portion in
both front and back. Many Of the short
jackets are seamless. the front being
made in. the Elton style, opening on
vest of soft corded silk Under the belt
is added n basque which has the effect

"A few years ago." he continued.
'they bought what they thought pref

or for what it was to be worn, but they
have, gotten over this habit, and are
now really becoming masters of the
art Of purchasing suitable colorings

The really fashionable Paris dress
maker will object to making gown
which he considers will be unsuitable
either in color or style. He says he
cannot afford to ruin his reputation
by turning out the gowns that will
not look well or be appropriate for
the occasion for which they are in
tended. When one goes to one of them
for a gown one has to submit not only
to his prices but to his dictates as to
style and color as we'll. 1t is but JUS

there are but few cases where the wom-
an is not the better off for so submit

The women from America and
England who are purchasing gowns in

evening wear by bright artificial light

insist upon trying goods for out-of-

KITCHEN POTS AND PANS.

slider.

There has been a great change in
cooking since those primitive days
when the kncading trough or bowl of
wood, the kettle that hung over the
open fire and the earthenwure or clay
pipkins were the only kitchen dishes
The invention of stoves has filled our
Kitchens with multitudes' of pots and
pans inferior to the old ones, which
lasted a lifetime, and sometimes several
generations. Modern utensils of the
best kind will not bear such test
In the rush to obtain variety in cook
ing utensils the special use to which
the dish is to be put and the fitness of
the material o; which it is made for
the purpose for which it is designed are
often overlooked. A pot intended for
slow cookery, like one for cooking dried
fruits or vegetables, should be made
ofthick earthenware. One intended for
cooking meats should be first Of all a
good conductor of heat, therefore
copper kettle will do the work of pre-
pairing stew or praised dish more ex-
peditiously than q pot of iron. Iron is
wholesome metal. but it is so heavy
that it ought to be discarded for kitchen
purposes whenever it can be, as it is an
Indifferent conductor Of heat. Copper
is also heavy, but it is such an excelen
heat conductor that it is generally EN-
ployed by expert cooks for all superior
cooking, baking dishes as we'll as pots
and saucepans. In aluminium we have
the ideal metal Of the kitchen. lis a
good conductor of heat, and tits ideally
light in weight and does not become
furnished, as copper and all other met
ais do. The price of aluminium still
keeps it out of the reach of many
kitchens, but the time must soon come
when all obstacles to its manufacture
at q low price will he done away with.
and the kitchen of the poorest woman
in the land will be furnished with shin
ing lightweight kitchen pots and pans
equal to those of kings palace.-N.

the rich and the poor alike. the only
difference being in the quality Of the
goods.
One thing that is never destined TO
become very popular in Paris is the
tailor made gown. Not that they are
not worn. for they are to a certain ex-
tent. but the tailor-made gown is dis
tinctly London production. Paris Is
too much inclined to favor the exclu-

TO become popular.
The ready-made tailor gowns tina,

all imported from the English capt.

home OF that style. are sure to show
the latest effects.
Among the noticeable features Of this
class OF gowns are the scallops. Every
thing tailor-made must have scallops.
The jackets IRE scalloped around the
bottoms. Stitching must be put on in

tailor-made is the use Of buttons in

Of others. Will not attendance fall
of when both causes cease to op-
crate?
l almost fear that the unearthing of
such nasty mess in q club which
should stand for manly sports and man
ly conduct will not only kill the Knick-
erbocker, but injure other clubs Of the
sort. which would be pity. We need
all the athletic activity possible TO
counterfeit indoor city life.
But aside from the cliques OF degrad-
ed men who have secured entrance to
the Knfckerbocker and possibly to
other clubs, there il another evil that
IN the big clubs share. They are not
amateur clubs in any proper sense. In-
stead of gentlemen playing games. we
see the decadent spectacle OF gentlemen
looking on while athletic teams" OF
men not amateurs by any reasonable
Interpretation OF the words, play
games for them. These semi-profes-
sional athletes receive no salaries, OF
course, but ways are found of making
it possible for them to play for the club
pretty nearly ali their time without
financial loss.
Barlow S. Weeks. who as counsel for
one of the men mixed up inthe Cornish
case has lately been in the public view,
has been practically the manager Of the
athletic team for one Of the big clubs.
and he knows as well as anyone how
far this evil has gone. 1t stands TO rea-
SOD that anything like competition is
impossible between a genuine ana
teur. who can only spare from his bust
ness limited time for training. and
q semi-professional who is at the serv-
ice of the rival club all the year round.

Shane, who is gem

too, that most foreign custom houses
pass quickly the effects of bona fide

said on the other side.
