cloth fell in loose. harmonious lines. This
is the principle upon which all the new
est skirts made-tO fit with compare
tive tightness about the upper part of the
body, but to fall in more or less graceful
lines to the ground.
The other afternoon I spent several hours
in looking over The stock of lingerie which
had just been prepared for the show room
of one of the daintiest little shops on the
Rue de IOpera.
There We're scores of pretty night robes
of nainsOok trimmed with frIs and in
SertiOnS of the finest embroidery. One can
hope for no very startling changes in the
cut OF night rObes-the application of lace
or embroidery or ribbon marks about all
the possible changes. The shape of the
yOkeS, the use of tuckS or insertion or the
combination of both is the principal shade
of difference in these useful garments
Some have square yokes. some have Shield
shaped yOkes and some have rounded
Jokes. The nechS of some are cut square,
others are cut in long deep points. There
is wide catholiCity of taste displayed by
the designers that argues well for all peo-
pie being suited.
One very handsome night robe was trim
med with a no less expensive lace than fine
Brussels. the front OF it adorned with a
long. hchulike piece OF trimming, deep
edges Of the lace coming over the shoulders
and falling well down over the well-Shaped
skirt, which was in its turn bordered with
two rows of deep insertion and a fril of
the lace. The SleeVcS~w cut open to the
elbow, with loose dolmanlike applications
of lace, insertion and fine nansook.

HABIT BACK OR THE BOX PLEAT
Fifty Black to One CoIored Cloth
Worn Now
TRAINS FOR HOUSE ONLY
special Correspondence of The Evening Star

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
NEW YORK, November 80, 1899.
Before the horse show began many were
the prophecies that the moot question OF
skirts would be settled But the show has
come and gone, and still we are bewildered.
No one can say positively which is really
the most popular and fashionable cut for
cloth skirts. After a careful examination
OF the various gowns worn a night one
might be led to believe that tiounces were
an absolute necessity on silk, crepe de
chine or lace skirts. But no one could adj
wise you with authority to eschew the habit
back, or even say positively that next win
ter all our skirts would have box pleat
where formerly there was placket hole.
Really this is as it should be- The mad
desire in New York to always have ones
frock made in whatever happens to be the
fancy Of the moment leads to an army OF
similar gowns Leaders of fashion have
discovered this and cling to old fashions
and only partially adopt new ones, thus
giving themselves many methods of having
frocks fashioned, and also hedging against
having every frock in their Wardrobes look
like every one they on the street, differ
ing only in material and trimming.
The Welcome Change.
This much, however may be said. The
habit skirt has been worn for some time, it
is rather an extreme. The box pleated back
is neither too voluminous too parsi-
monious as to breath, therefore the latter
will prevail unless 1t becomes too popular
Then there IS the modification of skirts
with pleats and tuCks. Pleats for all the
world like kits. only not as deep and not
50 close together The tuCks, too, are
rather far apart, but they take the place
of darts most ingeniously and make a
graceful flare from the knee down. which
is very desirable. One has it will be gath
cred, many varieties to choose from, but
it must be confessed that habit skirts at
the show We're to skirts of other varieties
as the ocean is to a lake.
The long coats which were such a nov
city at this season last year have made
themselves quite at home, too much, one
would have thought who noticed them worn
at night In several of the boxes. They did
very well about the ring, even after the
lights were lighted and more elaborate
toilets were the rule. For the women who
brave the crowd of the ring or who go
down to the stable in the evening are there
for the horse alone, and very often are rid
ing their own animals. But mere specta-

tors with boxes or seats of their own who
have dined well and dressed leisurely. NOT
being stud owners, look more to the man
ner born in less sportsmanlike garments
Any careless use of these long or even
three-quarter tan or mode coats cannot he
too severely froWned upon. They are the
very best garments We have had for years
for the needs of the woman who INDUCES
in the various out of door sports and they
should not be made unpopular by being
run to death.
The Princess Redfngote
The more elaborate long coats, or rather
princess redingote, We're quite as beautiful
as anything worn at the show. One in black
velvet with collar of chnchilla had about
/. grace of outline which is too often lost
in more trimmed garments with more bro
ken outlines All the long coats were not
as happy as this, however. One very gen.
orally remarked and often seen was of an
tique blue CLOTH with black lace on yoke
ard sleeves. At a distance it looked like a
caricature of some old painting And a
nearer view did not tend to excuse its
being, although the materials were COSTLY
and the design unique. One trouble about
original garments in the garden is the
perspective. The place is always so large
that one must dress for the distance as
we'll as for short reviews of ones frock
A want of knowledge of this led to a re-
| markable spectacle in box one night. The
party which was to occupy If cama In
late. In the party We're two women one
of whom was dressed very much like the
| majority of the women in the garden. But

corkscrew curls such as were somewhat in

worn. So half the audience held its breath
while the lady slowly mounted the stems
and waited until she turned around facing

she wore her hair somewhere under the

had a mink boa of fat. we'll developed tails.

The hats were small, as a rule. Half of
them were toques tilted sharply down over

with fur. Most of the women who wore
these turbans had their hair combed hfkh

The TaiIOr-Made Gown
If the horse was king of the tan bark the
tailor-made gown was king of the prone
made which fringed his arena. For every
colored frock there were fifty black ones
This was very good proportion and added
much to the good taste of the setting.
Until one gets them altogether it is hardly
conceivable how many different kinds of
plack gowns there are, and how little one
looks like the other. There was nothing
somber about the array. Every black cloth
had about it a touch of color usually
white. White revers were so popular that
they might have grown tiresome' had they
not been so universally becoming They
were made of silk, sometimes covered with
lace or with ella bOrate trimming of various
sort. one of the very simplest tailcr-madc
Irocks was OF narrow stripes of black and
Whlte. The skirt touched in the middle
OF the box plait Extremely long skirts are
no longer worn outside of ones home. The
jacket was severely plain and beautifully
htted The feature of the dress Were revers
OF white MORE, and collar which was cut
in three f1aring scallopS and also faced with
white MORE, SO that the face of the wearer
was framed in white.
Pastel Shades Favored
Gowns of cloth in pastel shades were very
much in evidence and SO charming without
being in the least Caring. Very often they
were finished with tunics of cloth over
underskirts of bilowy fiounces. Nor was
the nounced skirt at all out of date On
the contrary, most of the dresses with lace
oVerskirts or tunics had founced skirts
Some women had regular waves of flounces
about their feet and the effect was most
graceful.
The only conclusic n to be drawn from the
whole array of beautiful frocks was that

the prosperous, and the best way to please

Scarce three weeks to Christmas now and
the provtdent housewife has the evolution
of her Christmas plum pudding already in
mind. If the family come of good old
English stock, this traditional dessert
which has been eaten by English-speaking
people for over a thousand years must be
prepared, according to time-honored for
rnula, and served with appropriate cere-
monies.
According to that venerable record of
events. the Doomsday Book we find that
the pudding must be turned while taking
Its final boil on Christmas morning by
each member of the family in order to in
sure good luck to all for the coming year.

Hat Strings.
From the Minneapolis Times.

From the Minneapolis Times.
Those fluffy hat strings of chiffon or lib
erty silk are wonderfully becoming of
course, but don't you think them out of
place on all but the Josephine pokes and
the directoire effects? 1t seems to me that
1t is very bad taste to wear them on any
other style of chapeau, and also that on all
street hats they are decidedly outre. The
fashionable hat strings are never of SATIN
they are of some transparent, pliable stuff
maline, lace net, chiffon or liberty silk
The left end is half a yard shorter than
the right and they are not drawn UP close
beneath the chin, the right string being
brought around to drape the bust, and then
drawn up to meet the left string at the
shoulder. From the shoulder they fall to
the waist line. The best dressed women
anect hat strings for ceremonious occasions
only. and never, never wear them with
their street gowns.
