vest of white lace, and this a scarf of black
velvet makes the form Of cravat referred TO. The
second gown is a spring street suit of lavender
wool, made with "bonne femme" skirt and short
bolero. Under the jacket is a low cut, mannish
waistcoat of blue, lavender and white brocaded
satin. The finely peated chemisette is of white
lawn and over this Is a cravat of lavender silk
with the knot tied the bust and with ends tucked
into the waistcoat. This cravat, it may be well to
add, differs from the loose bow in vogue last sum
mer by of it's forming the choker band as
well the knot and ends.
If one is tired of the skirt and jacket form,
pretty travelling street suit may be made by
combinat ton of a plain and fancy wool. The gown
responsible for this suggestion has skirt Of brown
wool made with stitched yoke that flares into the
'bonne femme skirt The bodice is laid all about
in box pleats, and is made Of brown wool dotted
with white. A deep collar, cut in scallops covers
the shoulders. and this and the choker are of the

great attention to beautifying their bodies They
are great athletes and their life in the open air

They are particular about the condition of their
skin. and daily battle and anoint the entire body
massaging il until it shines like ebony. They are
plump and well rounded. and usually of a hand
some bronze color.
The style Of dressing the hair is next in impor-
tance. Their knlzy locks filled with clay
ointment. by means Of which they retain any posi-
ton desired without the of pins other
fastenings.
The single women stretch their hair into a peak
al the top Of the back of the head. where it re-
mains for weeks IN a solid mound. The married
women twist the front hair into a fringe of tiny
curls by mixing the hair with clay and then twist
ing Il between the fingers These twists hang
thickly down over the forehead and really deserve
the Of fringe. looking very much like the
fringe of the Russian poodle. The back hair they
dress in a variety of ways, using clay always to
straighten the kinks and keep them straight

Paris. February g.
Although the blouse has gone out of favor for
the theatre it retains place in the wardrobe. The
great number of jackets and boleros worn neces-
states a form of simple underwast, something
sufficiently plain in construction not to destroy the
close fit of the jacket, and yet pretty enough to
give a dressy appearance when the Jacket is dis
carded. The most fashionable top is one of
white lace, simply made but with some unique
idea for choker and belt. An ecru art guipure is
loosely draped white satin. A choker and
small yoke are made by lines of an embroidery OF
mock turquoises separated by lines of black vel
vet. This is the only trimming on the blouse
Another example of a blouse to be worn with
jacket suit Is Of heavy lace in deep ecru
mounted loosely over red silk. The pretty feature
of this top" the little fitted vest Of red panne.a
embroidered with gold thread. This vest is pretty
in itself but douby framed by the soft folds Of
lace. third example has a foundation of pink
silk over which is embroidered white muslin. A
yoke forming a vest is of white silk arranged in
clusters Of small tucks separated by lines Of
black velvet. This makes the choker.

Blanche Roosevelt Macchetta Marchesa d'Allegri,
who died q little more than year ago in London,
the first native born American girl to make a
debut in Royal italian Opera at COvent Garden; the
first woman OF any nation to be decorated with the
cross OF the Legion of Honor in France and is the
first American to have a monument erected
to her memory in a London cemetery.

Pandora" the favorite character with Blanche
Roosevelt, and the one which she created at the
Boston Theatre on January TO- 1881.
It was an operate version Of Longfellow's
Masque of Pandora" which assumed special i'm
portance from the fact that the distinguished poet
supervised or suggested the dramatic treatment OF
the poem, and that the music by Alfred Collier and
the scenery and costumes after designs by Alma
Tadema were the result of conferences with Mr.
Longtelow In which he carefully explained to
composer. libretist and artist his special views of
the Greek legend which formed the basis Of his
poem. AT the same time he expressed his wishes
as to the manner in which his work should be
transferred TO the lyric stage.
The story Of Pandora is generally considered one
of the most beautiful and poetic Of Greek legends
II will be remembered that she believed to be
the nrst created woman. According to Hesiod.

STILL THE PLEATED SKIRT.

There is little save the pleated skirt at least for
daytime A pretty idea which seems new is to
have the peats held down, not by stitching, but by
form of trimming. gown Of gray crepon
has the skirt, with the exception of the front
panel. laid in pleats. About six inches below the
waist band of lace passes about the skirt, ending
at the sides of the front panel Six inches lower
down passes a second band of lace. which, In
stead of ending the sides of the panel, continues
down the skirt to the bottom. This is one OF the
few pretty ways of trimmings a peated sBIrt; as
rule they best left untrimmed.
Perhaps the two mCSt attractive gowns TO De
seen in Paris at the moment are two being worn
at a boulevard theatre. The first Is OF turquoise
blue velvet perforated in a large pattern over
lining of pale blue silk and lightly embroidered
with dark blue and silver paillettes. These pail
lettes alone make the tinest of boeros This bolero
has little hood of blue mousseline de sole, win
ends that knot on the bust and fall down on the
skirt The other gown is of lace mounted over
yellow silk Narrow bands Of jets make an elabo-

OF the sleeves is of lace, the upper part is formed
