This is to be chapter on .negligees,
under which heading tea gowns boudoir
frocks and kimonos will be considered.
1t is quite the proper caper to receive
ones callers up to half past O'Clock OF
the afternoon in negligee attire. This is
the latest bulletin from the smart set
office. which in part accounts for the
wondrousIy beautiful garments fash
Toned SO picturesquely. China silk, lib
erty chiffon, chiffonette and nuns veil
ing are the materials most in use. The
models for the greater part are as elab-
crate in design as a ball gown ana
equally fanciful.
Every woman knows the luxury Of
loose garment though she fail TO appre-
ciate the artless grace, long lines and
flowing breadths, which is not probable.
Jack dropped in the other day on his
way to Islip Just to tell me of an adOra-,
bic young matron who had come into
his presence clothed in a kimOnO. He
was somewhat startled, he admitted as
the person in question is a stickler for
propriety. / explained it was quite per-
MISSILE for her so to do. Jacks rejoin-
der was positively shocking, and left me
debating whether or not l should cancel
my order for half a dozen negligeeS or
stick to my colors. Il understand" said
he. that as she can't wear party frOckS
all day, the siren would blaze the path
to perdition in even more seductive raj
ment." After ALL this cynical speech, IS
I read between the lines, indicates adj
miratiOn, and I fancy I'll put him to
the test Monday in one of white china
silk made over rose. He's fond of white,
and rose is his faVOrite color.
This particular tea gown is copied
from an old vatican painting with
strict attention given to all details
From the throat hang long, unbroken
lines of white silk, with faint glow
from the rose lining showing through
the semitranspaTent folds. At the back
a vatican plat begins quite narrow to
gradually grow greater after the waist
line is passed, ending in wisp train IL
yards long. The entire lower edge Of
the gown is bordered by fitted flOunce
slightly ripping, which is so cleverly
combined with the upper portion of the
garment that one must take out
search warrant to discover the dividing
line At the back tiny lace trimmed
bolero hugs the figure, and at the front
an ample fichu drapery knots at the
bust line to fall in sweeping stole ends.
The very tight sleeves and fiOunce are
scroll figured in point esprit insertion,
edged with valenciennes lace. I trust 1
shall not be self conscious in my new
toggery, for that is the one thing which
. provokcs Jack into being obstinate, and
in such mood l couldn't hope for the
worshfpfuI regard girls in new tea
gowns anticipate.
The lace craze is apparent in an ex-
quisite negligee called at the SWEETEST
shops a "boudoir frock." This comes
direct from a temple of fashion in the
Rue de la Paix and is veritably a thing
of beauty. It is composed Of white chif-
fonette, with a tunic effect. Double
ruffles of chiffonette fall below an over
drapery OF brussels net, on which APP
pear IL applique batiste oak leaves.

ETIQUETTE OF CARDS.

The etiquette Of card leaving is really
quite simple, but. nevertheless. It IS
often misunderstood.
Young girls do not have cards Of their
own. but share those Of their mother.
under whose name their own appears.
When a girl is no longer young enough
TO require chaperonage. she has card
TO herself. And the same thing hap
pens in The case of the young lady jous--
naI;st or other professional woman. 4
large number OF her visits would be on
matters OF business, when chaperonaee
would not be required. and. therefore,
her mothers name on her card would
be quite out Of place.
Only when making a business cab
should one ever send in a card by the
servant, but II would be quite correct
to do this when calling on an editor az
publisher at his office or when ealIing
on lady 10 ask for the character of a
servant.

When paying a call a married lady
would leave two OF her husbands cards
and one Of her own on married cou-
pie if she found the mistress of the
house out. II she saw her. she would
merely place couple of her husbands
cards in the hall on leaving the house
A gentleman's card is never left on a
young unmarried lady. and iu no case
should he ever turn down the corner
OF his card for there might be some
young ladies in the house. and IL would
be thought that he meant his card FOR
them. The Specification % the turned
down corner is that the card is intend
ed TO include all the ladies Of the fam
lily.
A daughter often leaves cards for her
parents. but she let's her brother 90 his

More than threescore years ago, one
pleasant summer day, among the pic
turesque hills of Derbyshire, England,
two equestrian figures might have been
seen cantering idly along, laughing and
chatting or stopping TO look out over
some particularly picturesque stretch
of landscape. One figure. on a smart
pony. was that of very young girl, al
most a child; the other was that of an
elderly man, clerical in appearance and
manner. The sweet, pale face of the lit
tie girl was one that would attract at
tention only among those to whom spir-
itual beauty is the highest type of love-
illness. Raphael or Fra Angelica would
have encircled the soft brown hair with

A HANDSOME STORE.
The General Merchandise House of B. M. Behr' ends a Credit to Any City. A Merchant
 and Banker.

The recent additions to the usually large stock of goods at the great Behr- ends store have been put upon the shelves and displayed in various parts of the spacious salesrooms and the ap- pearance of the store now reminds one of great busy bee hive. The build ing, which is two stories above the base ment, is the best appointed for the pur- pose that there is in Alaska. On the lower floor the shelving extends to the ceiling and is packed with goods. On one side will be found the groceries and hardware, neatly and tastefully arranged, and on the other the dry goods. A separate space is reserved for the shoe department. On the sec ond floor is the clothing department. Also carpets, blankets, hats, wall pa per, and a athousaud other things. Down in the basement is the paint and oil department, and besides these places mentioned being full of goods, the ware room is also piled full.
 The Behrends store would be credit to any Sound city. The stock is i'm mense and yet everything is so neatly and tastfully arranged. The huge glass front will show you how things look in- side, the display in the windows is the work of an artist, and his name is Led better
 At the Behrends store you can get anything. They keep everything. Itis indeed beautiful store. Juneau can we'll be proud of Behrends the banker and merchant.
