How is it done?
Many explanations have bean offered.

striking illustration of this fact than the
recent appointment of M. S%antanelli as
Official h~ypnotist to the New York Home

he came to New York and announced
that in the future he intended to devote
ms time to the treatment of disease by
nypnotism. Where he had only mysti-
ned ignorant people before, he now as

that he was finally offered a position
upon the faculty of one of New York's
great medical colleges.
Whlie this is the first time that a man

OF insanity may be cured completely nv
the use of hypnotism, that
melancholia and all such delusions of a
diseased brain are amenable to hypnotic
suggestion. and that stammering and
other nervous diseases may easily be
overcome under such treatment. He has

Mrs. Ronalds, who is now a very con-
Ventlonal English woman chose address
OF pink checked cachemire of the new
variety showing a plaid of dark green
silk. 1t is plaided so delicately that it
gives the appearance of a surfaces en-
broidered with silk thread.
The skirt was cut after a fashion which
1t is almost impossible to describe. It
was very tight fitting n of the habit
back. 1t opened down the middle of the
front, but the front was draped in such
a way that a very large double fold fell
from the left side. The fold was confined
under an immense buckle of very bright
cut steel.
The lining of the skirt was plainly Wis.,
Bile. 1t was of rather vivid green satin.
The skirt was trimmed with applique Of
green embroidery upon which small fig
ures of taffeta were appliqued.
The bodice was a new habit bodice
which has very short basques. 1t was
doEble breasted and buttoned with very
latge white pearl buttons. The neck had
a rather novel arrangement consisting of
a point of green satin over which there
lay a point of applique which disclosed a
very small neck of applique.
The very long automobile cloaks which
are now the rage make it possible to wear
these brilliant gowns for afternoon. Mi
lady takes off her long cloak and dis
closes a brilliant house dress of the very
newest materials which are nearly all of
satin finish.
There is Still another new skirt-for of
new skirts there seems to be no end. This
one has a plain front with a box plated
back. The box plait is a double one, very
broad, and it may or may not match the
dress goods. And 10 this hangs a story.

THE NEW FRENCH SKIRT
WHILE FASHIONS WAIVER BETWEEN THE SHEATH AND THE BOX
PLAT, MODIsTES ARE QUIETLY ADOPTING THE NEW
DRAPED SKIRT.

Paris. Nov. 2o.-The eccentric skirt is
the vogue. You woul be convinced of it
if you We're to see the skirts With box
plated backs and plain tight fronts On
other skirts the box plaits extend all the
way around. They are topped by a yoke
of jet paillettes which g~listens like the
sun and looks like a coat Of mail. They
also use Renaissance lace for these yokes.
The new box plated skirt is so intricate
that. at my urgent request. a couturiera
drafted up a pattern for me which l here
show YOU. 1t is SO much a skirt as a skirt
yoke design. There is also q diagram for
the waist. The skirt and waist, you Will
observe, are built to match and the dress,
OF different materials. can be adapted to
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-12-02

A very new street skirt is the one that
is cut so as to show four very large box
plaits. There is one at each side of the
front and one at each side of the back.
They are so arranged that they hug the
hips and cling closely to the knees. There
is a sheath lining over which the box
plated skirt is arranged. 1t has a very
graceful fall and is a handsome skirt.
The coat to wear with such a skirt is
somewhat eccentric. 1t is a bolero slit
up the front and back. 1t is held in place
by a long tab or sash-end, which is con-
fined under the belt.
A suit made of this fashion was of OK
ford gray trimmed with bands of sable.
1t was built for Miss Rothschild, daush-
ter of the baron. The family keep house
in magnificent style in Paris wher the
baron is at the head of the house in
France. Miss Rothschild is in second
mourning for her uncle, Ferdinand, who
died a year ago., and for another relative
whose death is more recent; for the fam
lily has been sadly afflicted during the
past year. The dark gray of the cloth is
IN elegant taste for mourning while the
black sable is strictly a funeral material.
The draped toque is very fashionable.
The toque worn by Miss Rothschild with
her OXFORD gray suit was of very dark
gray velvet called invisible gray. 1t was
trimmed with Prince of Wales plurnes.
Her muff of black cloth was simply
trimmed with violets and violet ribbon set
in a bed of lace. The struggle TIVE
the sheath skirt and the box plated skirt
has been q wild one, half the couturieres
contending that the tight skirt should
prevail the other half persistently &C.
signing the full skirts and insisting upon
dfaplnS their customers in them. Mrs.
Ronalds, the great English baautv. cross

tefest OF her wardrobe. She wished 10

gowns, for it is coming Oh the HOLIDAYS

1t Is not de rieeur to wear the low necked
cofsase, nor is it allowable to dress in
feaNy velvet. The nea afternoon cos
tune is is required with a hand

cut accurately. She told me that any
woman with a taste for dressmaking
could rudely fashion calico from these de-
signs sufficiently we'll for the first trying
on, after which the calico pattern could
be fitted to the figure and the more ex-
pensive materials cut from the calico
patterns.
The French are exceedingly thrifty in
these matters and will on no account cut
into expensive goods until assured that
the diagrams are perfectly correct, not
from theory bat from actual trying on.
This dress would be exquisite for even
ing in watermelon pink taffeta and EAR
dlnal velvet. with the neck rounding II
finished with lace or chiffon. The design
is pretty enough for anything.

day Or evening. For day there is the thin
Persian novelty goods, trimmed around
the foot with bands of ~taffeta. The skirt
yoke is of lace. The waist is a draped
front of dark cloth which is fastened
lnde a rosette of the Persian suiting.
Half lace sleeves, yoke and epaulettes
complete the gown which would do for
day, morning or afternoon.
This same design could be carried out
In the cloth and in the colors of the one
from which the design was copied, and
for which a fair Partisan shop girl con-
scented to pose. The skirt was of orchid
purple ~taffeta, box plated and eXquisitely
hung. 1t was SO very long hat it lay
upon the ground all the way around, in
that very pretty French fashion so much

we are actually threatened with skirts of
TWO materials combined in a way which
was never dreamed of outside the plans
OF Scotland.
10 Illustrate this a single skirt can be
mentioned. 1t was Of plaid wooden goods
IN red. green, yellow, black and gray. a
big broken plaid with green for it's pre-
vailing tone. At the back, sweeping all
me way from the belt to the hem, was a
very broad box plat of green cloth of
Scottish weave to match the skirt mate
rial. This box plat was lined with plaid.
or was made in such a way as to show
plaid on it's reverse side. At first it
looked ike a sash. but after you studied
IT you thought it rather pretty.

liked by the women of Paris who are
naturally short and need all the height
they can borrow from their clothes.
The waist was of orchid purple velvet
draped over orchid purple taffeta and
combined with Renaissance lace as sug-
gested in the design.
You will see that the pattern of the
yoke of the skirt is a circular one, cut
in TWO pieces and opening at one side.
1t might be cut in one piece. from a very
large wheel of lace but this is more ex-
pensive.
The couturiere assured me that, for the
trying on, there were always the toughest
used as each figure varied 50
