The Rerers OF. a Gown.

For many seasons past II gown was
made with revers, the number used was
always two. Invariably these revers were
an exact counterpart Of each other. Not
only in coloring and design were they
alike but they were the same size and
placed on the gown directly opposite one
another.
Now the dressmakers are no longer par
tial to revers. Either one or three are used
on the most fashionable gowns.
One large rever is regarded as very chic.
1t is usually OF the same material rs the
bodice. and is richly braided or covered
with lace.
When three reyers are used they are
always graduated in size. The first rever is
the smallest, the other two acting as its
background.
They look best In three tints of one color,
but all sorts of very pretty color effects are
possible with them.

OF have no basis of fact. Mrs.
Hazen, to whom he is now said
to be engaged, is a striking wild
ow, wealthy, and one of the socie-
ty leaders of the city. Her sister
three years ago, who was then
Mrs. Bugher, and very wealthy,
married Capt. Nicoll Ludlow, of
the navy. 1t was at one time said
Mr.. Herbert, when Secretary of
the Navy, was engaged to her.
Mrs. Bugher was not only rich,
but very attractive personally.
Capt. Ludlow was an officer of
striking appearance, and like Ad-
miral Dew ey, a widower.
During his residence here the
Admiral was closely identified
with the exclusive circles of soci-
ETY., but not until after the battle
of Manila Bay were rumors star
ted that he might marry again.
The Admiral has been a widower
now for twenty years.
AS Admiral of the navy Dewey
holds position scarcely second
10 any except the President. 1t
is one, too, of leisure and assured
service always in Washington,
with but little more to do than
make an annual report to the
Secretary. At least that is all
Admiral Porter did. With a fine
house presented to him by the
people of the country, and sal
ary approaching $4,000, Ad-
miral Dewey may be regarded as
a "catch," and a man that per-
haps few widow no matter how
eligible, would decline. He is
not quite 62 years of age, fine
looking, vigorous and accustomed
to polite society.
1t is quite certain the Admiral
will not be let alone by match
makers and gossips, and his name
will be connected in the matri-
monial line with someone until
he is either married or society
abandons hope of getting him
married.
