CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-cspeciaI. Chi
cago has been having an inspection Of
her residents wardrobes this week.
Monday every one wore trim tailor
made gowns, later raincoats and UNI
brellas prevailed, and toward Saturday
sealskins and mittens were very much
IN vogue. But that's Chicago, gloomy
OLD chicago, where sunny days are
like yellow primroses in mud pud-
die.
| But Chicago faseinates you, and Chi
cago holds you, and, hating her gloom
and her dirt, you grow to love her
greatness and her life and her rush Of
humanity. You hold up your head and
do not see her dirty river, and you ad-
mire her people, who hunt bargains
on State street during the day time,
hear grand opera in the evening and
go home in a carette.
| The out-of-town girl in Chicago does
things she wouldn't dare do at home,
runs onto the very home people she
| rears most and finds, to her astOniSh-
ment and then amusement, that they
| are doing the very things she is.
Inc taflor-made girl is, as usual, the
| smartest and sweetest thing to be seen.
She wears black or brown, with walk
| ing hat to match, and the everlasting
English violet which adds the neces-
| sary womanly touch to what might be
too mannish Some Of the girls wear
derbies but, unless the face be par
| t1cularly sweet and the hair very soft,
the effect is hard.
The shops are already gay with
! spring goods. lavender hats are
among the spring novelties and prom
Use to rage as much as the lavender
wells did some years ago.
| There is something about purple and
kindred shades that appeals to wom-
en-. Double face wells are also to be
seen over many charming faces, and.
odd as the idea may seem, they are
very effective, softening the face Won
derfully and serving as a dust pro-
tector, at the same time.
dainty pink veil worn under
heavier one of brown is very becoming,
and two shades of brown are also used
Many elaborate opera cloalxs are dis
played in the windows, the simple
capes having given place to brocades
and Iaces.
Miss Sara Johnson, who has resigned
from the temple board. is opening a
tiny shop in the Marshall Field build
ing with Mrs. Hagans as her partner.
They are showing many beautiful
/ novelties dear to womankind Miss
Johnson has been with the board for
nearly eight years, and is trusted by
both sides in the temple matter.
Mrs. Carse left Friday for Battle
Creek, Mich. She is very weak and
will require care and rest before she
will be able to renew her work. Her
son accompanied her.
The grand opera has not been
patronized as usual. Parts of the audi
forum have been closed during many
of the programmes. One notices that
a large per cent Of the patronage comes
from the Jewish circles
The rich Jewish women Of Chicago do
much toward lettering the condition of
their less fortunate brothers and sis
tiers. There is here now a we'll estab-
lished Hebrew loan association oper-
ated by them and its success has been
wonderful. Only a few of the loans
have proven losses and it is several
years since it was started.
There is d movement on foot here to
abandon the custom of having Gagged
animals in the parks and devote the
money thus saved to hiring good music
and arranging more flower beds and
small lakes on the grounds. Childrens
play grounds are also on the list of
improvements suggested.
