One can get an idea of the multiplicity
OF skirt designs for spring wear from the
fact that these are only few Of the choic-
est patterns that are to be seen. The
illustrations show morning, afternoon and
evening skirts only, with no evidence
whatever of those for cycling, golf, hunt
ing and other occasions.
1t is an unwrittcn law in the realm OF
fashion that skirts must be trimmed. And
by trimmed does not imply that a row or

House builders and owners have put
some OF their fads behind them. II is too
easy for a dweller in fat or a ginger
bread seaside cottage to have cheap imi-
tation of Japanese aud Turkish rooms for
their charm to retain any hold on the cx-
elusive New Yorker, so the Jap and French
rooms are faded fashions. The fancy
now is TO dwell in domed apartments, to
have rooms with the walls left in the
rough and then absolutely covered with
mirrors or tapestry. Mrs. II. F.. Dimock,
tor example, possesses the finest hall of
mirrors in New York. 1t is miniature
imitation OF the galerie des miroirs i'll the
pa,ace of Versailles. II is similarly
lighted and is used for a ball and recep-
tion room on great occasions. III Mrs.
Belmont's, Mrs. Rhinelander's and Mrs.
rooms are absolutely unseen, Tor the rich
tapestries hang from ceiling to floor, as
they did in medieval days. chiefly then to
keep out drafts and hold the heat.
One Of the very most talked OF rooms
this winter in New York is the dining hall
in Mrs. Paget's house. 1t s the first OF a
series OF Wedgewood rooms. Others have
been patterned on this one but none other
is SO beautiful, for the dining hall is long
and lofty and the graygreen walls, half
way panelled with carved oak, are deco
rated with lovely white Wedgew. cd fig-
ures. The doors in this apartment are So
adorned that when closed the walls are
uniform, and only one acquainted with the
room can tell where the doors are and find
the concealed knob that springs them
open. Not only does the carpet and
oaken furniture exactly harmonic with
the walls. but Wedgewood china and the
richest cameo glass are used in serving
the dinners celebrated at Mrs Paget's
hospitable board.

Any ono who comes 20 New York and
gets a chance to observe closely the pretty
women in the opera boxes can hardly over
look the fact that pretty bare hands no
longer show glitterng nails at the finger
tips, that the immaculate fairness OF
throats and shoulders Is apparently not
due to powder nor unusual pallor and that
nearly every woman has wonderfully bright
hair.
Well. II simply amounts to this: Unnatu-
rally polished finger nails are no longer
regarded as significant Of good taste. As
much care as formerly is spent on the man
