PARIS, May 3.-From the very tight
fitting skirt we are coming gradually
to the skirt bouffant. Many of the
gowns seen at the opening day of the
Exposition were decidedly pulled
around the hips, giving the waist, oh,
such tiny appearance. One worn by
Mrs. Austin Scott, an American, who
halls from one of the Western States,
was made with a tunic open in front
and slit to the waist; the sides were
drawn up high in such a way as to
nuff the material over the hips in
shepherdess style. The bodice was
tight fitting and was drawn down to a
low point in front for all the world
like the Dresden figures.
Just at this transition period there is
always danger of OVERRIDING the mat
ter of dress, and the temptation to go
to extreme outdoes the good sense of
the woman. Those who find the bout
FAINT effect becoming rush into these
dresses, putting them more and more,
until the absurdity strikes all behold
ers.
The skirt which has a plain front
and is gathered around the sides and
in the back is a bouffant one, as the
gathers make the hips full.
Slender women like the champion
huntress, Mrs. Adolph Ladenburg, of
Long Island who made such a sensa-
ton in London and Paris recently,
look well in such a dress, but let the
stout woman cling to the less trying
modes.
The latest tunic is one that has a
short pointed front The back con-
sists entirely of sash ends which fall
almost to the floor
Another tunic is of this description
with the front slashed to the belt line
and the points lined with contrasting
silk.

Mrs. IseIin's Gown.


Mrs. c. Oliver Iselin,, who has been
distinguishing herself on the golf links,
was present at the opening days of
the Exposition and was exquisitely
gowned in a bluebird cloth with box
plated back; the skirt was provided
with a tunic, falling over the front
and side breadths only. The tunic was
finished with tiny cord of black satin
below which set ripple of lace.
The cost of many of the new fabrics
precludes them from common wear
Take the new Liberty satin with its
woyen-in figures of panne velvet. The
fabric is thin and beautiful but it is
upwards of $3.50 per yard and only
half yard wide. Then there is crepe
satin, new material, very lustrous
with a crinked surface. This comes
at trifle lower figure, but high enough
to count in making a costume.
A gown recently worn by Mrs. John
Jacob Aston at the Exposition was of
blue French foulard with lace flowers
applfqued on the silk. These lace
flowers are very beautiful and are Of
ten cut from priceless pieces of lace
which cost the French lace makers
many year over the lace cushion of
the provinces.
The mode of applique is interesting
as described to me by a couturiere.
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1900-05-13

The lace design is first carefully spread
upon the foulard and each tiny point
along the edge is picked out and made
to show. When the lace is nicely laid,
the couturiere takes thread of finest
silk, of the exact color of the lact, and
carefully catches down the flower in
the middle; then she cautiously fast
ems each petal in the same way and
| concludes with the stem and the
leaves. The edges of the lace are not
appliqued, but the lace is run around
the edge with very thin silk thread.
The sharpest contrasts are employed
and the lace applique becomes exceed
ingly effective.
Smart Hats.
The smartest hats are worn by the
Americans who throng Paris just now.
With true American taste they regard
the hat as the key-not of the costume,
Many of the beef eater hats have
crowns of handkerchief squares over
which are carried parasols to match,
These are of the most brilliant mater
lals with centers of vivid blues and
reds, puppies and mauves. Khaki, that
tawny color which the English are
trying to make fashionable, affords the
groundwork for many parasol, while
red and blue mingle decidedly, in the
borders, picked out with yellow and
green. These Roman borders are quite
distinct from the Scotch plaids and
resemble nothing so much as the cos
tune Of a native Italian woman out for
gala day. The puppies, the yellows.
and the strange bright green mingle
oddly, yet well.
Madame de Stael was never more
devoted to her touch of black than is
the woman of the present day. Mar
row black velvet ribbons trim almost
everything. They are used to stripe
challies, to square foulards and to fig
ure ribbons. A few yards of very mar
row black velvet In the hands of a
clever Paris modiste, will transform
yard of plain blue ribbon into a fan
cy ribbon design for which you would
have paid your dollar and more.
One of the newest ways of using
black silk is under the lace applique
on parasols. The small lace cures laid
upon the parasol and underneath them
is fitted a very small piece of black
silk.
Many are the new and beautiful
street gowns all in white. One OF
banana white cloth was trimmed with
rose applications and green leaves.
The Duchess of York, who expects to
be about again in time for the Queens
drawing rooms, has recently ordered a
cloth gown of alumine, which Is a lit
tie lighter than the shade which we
call aluminium, with vest of primrose
satin and with yoke and sleeves of the
same. Nothing handsomer could be
imagined than the brilliant rose satin
in contrast to the softness of the grav.
New gowns are not made of one ma
terial, two, three, four and even five
are used in one costume. Vest and
sleeves may be alike, but the stock.
the belt, and the skirt ruffies are differ
ent; and none Of these match either
the skirt or the tunic Modis.es de-
clare that this is very economical
arrangement, but as all the goods are
of the most extravagant materials, and
most of them are the novelties of the
season, the economy Of this step may
well be questioned.

tour de cou is in again, in a variety
which is very becoming All the
Etons, boleros and little jackets are
made without collars so that there is
room for the tour de cou without
crowding the throat
The pretty little neck trimming is
made up in many ways, one of the
| most popular of these being a series of
rosettes, round or fiat, and sewed to-
gether upon ribbon in such a way
that they slightly overlap. The ro-
settles are made of ribbon, or of tulle,

Some Remarks on Finesse.

Finesse, in its broadcast whist senie,
refers to any artifice, stratagem or
underplay; but as commonly used in
an everyday sense at the table IL may
be decribed as an attempt to win
trick with lower card, either of your
own or partners, when the flnessor
holds a higher one in hand, as, when
third hand, holding ace, queen and
others in the leaders suit, one plays
the queen instead of the ace. This is
the simplest form of finesse known,
and is usually referred to as the finesse
proper, a deceptive term, as will be
presently seen. An eminent whist
authority of the long-suit school has
declared it to be the belief that luck
enters into the question of fnessing
to such a large extent that the less one
does Of it the better, and the greater
the ability Of the player the less he
illnesses" Another, equally well known
in common-sense whist circles, has adj
vised his readers to never finesse and
never lead trumps. | cannot entirely
agree with either of these opinions,
much less with that which claims that
the whole game lies in the finesse.
Some one has advanced the ingenious
idea that finessing bears the same rela-
ton to whist that bluffing does TO poker,
and the comparison strikes me as well
worth repeating, so full OF accuracy
does 1t seem. Both these essential
features of the respective games TO
which they pertain appeal to the spec
ulative side of human nature, and
each is typical. in its practical appli-
cation, OF that desire to Obtain some
thing for little or nothing which APP
peals more strongly to the American
nature than to that Of any other peo-
pie. This much promised, no argu-
ment need be adduced in support Of
the contention that finessing possesses
a rare fascination for the whist play
ers of this country. II has been truly

would take from the game its greatest
charm, and yet this very charm Is car
ried to unwise and dangerous extremes
thus bringing censure and opprobrium
upon a feature OF the game which,
when used in moderation, combines
the utmost OF grace and utility. And
so, while it is an edged tool that may
be only handled safely by players Of
experience and judgment, the illnesses
at once beautiful and useful-will
never be entirely eliminated from the
game OF whist.
But, II the holder Of the major ten
ace be otherwise strong. there would
still appear little justification for the
fnesse, as 1t would seem wise TO as
