A BIT OF PLAID.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
AS time wears on and the novelty
wears off the ranks of the vaudeville
artists close up and the weaker attrac-
tons are driven to the wall. This. OF
course, places the business in fewer
hands and necessitates a great deal
of rapid changing around. A good
many of the vaudeville artists who
visit Cleveland have performed abroad,
in England more especially, and some
of them have travelled professionally
as far as the antipodes. Naturally,
they pick up great deal of exper-
fence and run across some very inter-
esting incidents.
Miss Annie Whitney, the singing
comedienne and monologue artist, now
in this city, spent four years in the
British isles, giving drawing room
entertainments most Of the time. art
lists for this purpose being in great de-
mand at the homes Of the rich. In an
entertaining talk day or two ago she
related pretty incident that occurred
while she was in Scotland. She was
singing in Edinburgh at the time and
had gone over with little party of
acquaintance to view Melrose abbey.
In the village she noticed signs Of I'M
usual hustle and confusion and asked
gaunt, elderly man the reason. He
looked down at her with some degree
of contempt.

lNISH4AND FIGURE.


The best finish for Z shirt waist IS
the narrow white neckband upon which
collar Is buttoned. Guns are Of the
waist material; avoid the shirt waists
that have white cuffs attached. They
soil day ahead OF the waist itself.
The shirt waist figure, which
changes each season, and which last
year was very full just above the waist
line, standing out like big puff, is
high-busted and neat. There is a
choice between the plain waist and the
limited blouse, both being in vogue.
They have way now of making the
blouse waist so that it can be worn
plain by simply drawing the fullness
below the belt. The fashionable figure
is rather full and must be broad across
the chest by artifice if not by nature.
BELTS, BUCKLES. STOCKS.
Short WASTED persons can be COM
forted and assisted this year by the
ribbon belt, which is in style. 1t is
narrow and may match the waist. By
matching the belt to waist longer
waist effect is obtained.
The finest buckles are worn upon
the ribbon belts, and many women,
upon economy BENT utilize handsome
old buttons for the purpose. The but
ton is sewed upon one end OF the rib
bon. The ribbon is drawn around the
waist and pinned in place SO as to show
the big fancy button which adss as a
finish. The neck ribbon is fastened in
the same way.
Many are the soft white stocks, the
chiffon bow tied in front being very be-
coming. A pretty bow and vest effect
is obtained by lying ribbon under
the chin. leaving long ends. The ends
are brought down to the waist line and
tied in another big bow.
The ACCESSIBILITY of making the shirt
waist at home is still a discussed sub
ject, the consensus of opinion being
that it is cheaper and more saltisfac-
tory to buy.
CONTEMPLATING ELEGANCE.
If a really elegant waist is desired,
such a one as costs seven dollars and
more at the best shops, substitute can
be obtained by buying plain waist, of
good cut, for one dollar, or even less.
The waist can now be hemstitched at
home, or trimmed with insertion or
otherwise made valuable. Be sure, if
you trim with insertion, to cut out
the goods underneath. as the insertion,
by some trick of color, looks much
finer.

The queen lead must also fulfill two
conditions: % 1t must be led from

BLACK VELVET CHCHET:
SOME SUMNER GOWNS.
Only SnGtCheS of 1t USed-PuZzIing to Find New Ways
Keeping Up With the Half nondanes.

1t is thinking up novel trimmings
which bids fair to give nervous pros
| trations to dressmakers who are max
ing last-minute dresses for the sex
| whose trunks are packing.
There are not so many ways of max
ing gowns themselves, given the ma
| terials and the use of the dress. For
| travelling and general wear there are
| the coat or jacket and skirt, with the
| shirt waist as constant companion.
Leaving the tailor-made outfit, there
| is only the princess effect, though
| there are uncounted ways of rendering
it, many Of which depend upon the
trimming for the fortunate result.
Black velvet is the cachet which reap
pears oftenest and in most unexpect-
ed ways, unless you except guipure lace.
One modiste has an assistant who has
counted ways in which her mistress has
employed black velvet in small quanti-
ties to lend final style to fifty-eight
masterpieces. This mistress longs for
the departure of her last customer for
parts unknown. Not altogether longs,
of course, for there is the profit from
the work; but she says she is worn
with trying to create novel Zines on
which to place dress decoration.
The best class of custom would be
scandalized by design repeated on
two gowns for rival, even for friendly
customers.
These last shopping days of the
swell woman emphasize the hold which
pliable materials have upon the FASH
ionable heart. Model gowns in
yielding stuffs, which have been kept
out of the public eye, nearly all have
disappeared from the display forms in
the shops. And women have bought
yards upon yards of thin fabrics which
certainly cannot be made up in time
for even the last Of the thirteen trunks
woman of fashion is reputed to carry.
Does she intend to send it to her
dressmaker in town for making up dur
ing the summer? Or has she in mind
some little" dressmaker at Newport
or elsewhere who win fashion the ma
terials for pittance?
This sort of thing is done more than
might be imagined. Little" dressmak-
ers at summer resorts not infrequently
are called upon to turn out elaborate
effects. And they are cleverer about it
than may be fancied. They have the
stunning gowns of the One Hundred
and Fifty to look at for four or five
months out of the year, and gain an
idea of style valuable to a maker of
dresses. / know of at least one New
York woman who has many a winter
gown made by her little Newport dress
maker, and at slight expense Rent in
Newport is nothing at all in the old
part of the town. In the new portion,
of course, it is kings ransom. But
the little dressmakers live at home
with their hollyhocks. in houses made
long, long ago.
So the city modiste may have ner-
vous prostration if she cannot avoid it,
| and the modaine will slyly repair to the
dressmaker of the hollyhocks for
thoughts upon new ways Of putting on
black velvet

who read between trimmings. Four
knots of black velvet, three loops each
in line, adorn the corsage of a gown
of old pink yelling. small shaped
belt OF black velvet is the only other
considerable quality of the materials
used.
The bands of guipure lace on the
skirt are laid upon black, and the black
satin peeks through the meshes of the
lace. The lower sleeves are made of
tn cram lac over more black satin, and
there is another band of these mater
ials upon the princess waist which
closes under the arm. Buckles of some
black glittering substance and paste
further adorn the velvet knots of this
gorgeous afternoon gown
But suspect that many women may
find the dear little sleeves of this fas-
cinating gown its greatest charm. They
remind one of Della Fox's rolled down
stockings-in which comic opera were
they?
A cream straw poke bonnet, faced
with old pink chiffon, topped off with
two white ostrich feathers and tied
with black polka-dotted white chiffon,
is the quaint headpiece to this individ-
ual Newport costume.

morning country use is done from corn

Z wide tucks. Black cut jet buttons,

Stitching in heavy black silk gives
body to the tongues and desirable
weight to the tunic scallops. A round
yoke is a wonder in stitching. The in
croyable collar is covered with lierre
lace. Narrow folds of black velvet and
more white lierre lace finish the blouse
front. For hat with this corn-color-
ed charming frock the milliner built an
irresistible thing from yellow natuaral
straw, white peoples and innumerable
black velvet knots. The parasol is
white taffeta, with white enameled
stick and gold top.
Chavannes green (Which is the art
lists present name for soft leaf green)
China crepe, is appliqued with soft pink
passion flowers, with green leaves,
touched up by black spangles. One
border runs around either circular ruff

laced together with green cord over
black velvet. the velvet continuing
spangled around the yoke or plated
with chiffon. There is a wisp of black
velvet. less than an inch deep, for a
girdle.
1t takes parasol all white and a hat
of the same purity to make possible
this seaside costume of pink and green
and sparkle. A few years ago no wo-
man of fashion would have worn a
scintillating daytime frock Such cos
TUNES were left to the half mondaines.

KEEPING COMMAND OF THE ENE-
MY'S SUIT.
II has always been a fundamental
whist principle that it is unwise to get
rid OF the command of the enemy
suit early in the game. The text book
holds firmly to this as a principle OF
play, and little or no trouble has ever
been taken by any author to examine
and set forth the occasions when get
ting rid of the command OF the SUIT de-
clared to be the adversary's may prove
trick winning. There are two pur-
noses for which the master cards OF the
onponent's suit are valuable, either as
a card of re-entry or for ones own or
ones partners suit, or else to block
the suit of the adversary and to pre-
vent its being brought in. But sup
pose you have no suit to bring in? Are
such cards not valueless for this use!
Or if your partner is playing strong
game, having shown great trump
strength, to what purpose should the
master cards of the enemy's suit be held
as blockers?
A strict adherence to the general rule
in such a case can only result in loss,
(which will be occasioned generally
from the fact that the partner is de-
prived from the advantage OF getting
discards at a time when that would
benefit his hand. If then you hold one
or more winning cards of a suit in
which you suspect your partner to be
void, and you have no sure card of re-
entry in another suit which you may
count upon your partners leading to
you, you should lose no time in making
such good cards, giving your partner
at the same time the chance to make
as many discards as possible before
you lose the lead. 1t is obvious that
under such conditions you cannot hope
that the enemy will lead the suit in
which you are marked with the high
cards unless he is obliged to do So

intellectual, clear and winning game.
