nsTARTING FRESH J,

When one is fashionable and has the
artistic soul, there are many ways in
which it may find expression besides
painting haugings for the side wall. One
clever woman gives this talent full reign
in her personal account book Not only
the cost of clothing herself is therein
entered. but beautiful water color
sketch is made OF every important gown
that she possesses. For a long time her
gowns have been greatly admired an
among her friends IL is generally known
that she designs them herself and does
much of the embroidery and bead work
that gives them such costly appearance.
Often she has been heard to say: That
gown cost me just $50; l could rot have
had it made at one of the importers for
less than $500"
The first gown that this gifted young
woman designed, and superintended the
making of, was the one she wore at
her wedding. II was truly thing of
beauty At this time also she began to
keep her account boek. She called it
starting fresh" 1t tGen seemed to her
quite natural, along with> the account OF
the gown 10 make sketch of il as worn
by herself Her veil and coronet OF orange
blossoms. her fan, bouquet, slippers, and
in fact, everything that she wore on that
day, she accurately sketched on the page
next to the one with the figure of the
bride. Following comes the page of ex-
penses, and here not the smallest item is
overlooked. Just how much time was by
her expended, and how often the gown was
worn are also recorded.
The next illustration In the book is her
going away gown. A large and beautiful
mud is one of its noticeable features. Il
Is revealed by the page of costs that it
was made OF two fox skins. which were
bought in Canada at the astonishingiy low
price of Sc. The lining was entered at
S2.45. The whole cost, therefore. of this
confection summed up to sS45. 1t was
twisted into shape by the girls own nim-
BILE fingers. Another fascinating costume
entered in the book is of orange satin.
and it is also recorded that it had upon
it 992 spangles.
For four years now the. book has been
faithfully kept. 1t has in il over 120 OF
the most stunning and up to date cos
tunes. Hats, slippers of many shapes,
buckles and hair ornaments, have within
its pages all found a place. Every new
piece of jewelry and lace Is also most ar

A LOUIS XIV PRIVATE CAR.
George Vanderbilt Owns This Cor
geous House on Wheels.


AS the steam yachts go out of commits
sion, the private cars come again into act
i've service. and the majority OF these
small palaces on wheels are done over
from end TO end once a year before their
luxurious owners consider them fit for use.
Up to the time OF his marriage. George
Vanderbilt made his runs across the con-
tinent and between New York and North
Carolina in car OF his own, upholstered
in dark carved oak and embossed red
leather. and this was regarded as the most
comfortable coach owned by a bachelor;
but Mrs. Vanderbilt found the sober. sim
pie fittings little TO her taste, and the car
has been wholly redecorated in the most
perfect Louis XIV fashion. Mauye and
green are the prevailing colors in the up
holstery. the woodwork is heavily giIded.
and the ceiling of Mrs. Yanderbilt's state
room is painted to represent Phaeton driv-
ing the chariot OF the sun. Even to the
china, glass. and napery, last century pat
terms are carried out and the footman that
answers the bell in the saloon wears knee
breeches and long tailed coat adorned
with brass buttons.
