FASHIONS SHOW ROMAN FAD.
The Roman Princess Roman Gown Roman Stockings and the Roman Heel are Used-Biack Velvet on Everything
 The Roman Idea PredominaeS

Paris, April 25.-The city has been very gay, for the opening of the exposition brought many strangers here. The formal opening the middle of the month amount ed to nothing, for the grounds and build ings were only partially in order, and pre- scented curiously undressed appearance, with their-decorations huddled together on the floor, and their buntings hanging de- jectedly, awaiting the draper's hand.
 Thanks to the minister of war. who of- fered the services of the French standing army to assist In the work of clearing the grounds, the litter was all gathered up, and one could walk around without fear of tearing ones fine exposition gowns against the piles of boards and undergoing the horrors of walking under ladders.
 Many beautiful gowns have begun to make their appearance; and toilettes new for morning, afternoon, evening and night are found, all reveling in some charm of novelty. To begin at the last mentioned, night gown had a dear little coat of turquoise wash taffeta, cut like bolero, very short in the back and rounding in the front.
 In an evening novelty a certain gown had Roman tunic of gauge. A Roman

Earnings of New York Papers

Such magazine I imagine Hearst has projected would not need any great c:-ount Of capital, and, indeed, l doubt that Mir Hearst has much spare money to put into it. There is so much bluff about the way his newspaper properties are handled that 1t is impossible to form any just estimate as to whether the Journal and Evening Journal pay or not. The general opinion among newspaper men is that they are not yet doing more than covering exnensps if they do that. The other papers profits can be more closely estimated. The Herald re- mains the best newspaper property in New York, having a balance on the right side for the past year of about s9OO, ,00O Next to this the knowing ones place the World, which they credit with netting Joseph Pu- litzer $17o,O00. The Tribune is estimated to have given Whitelaw Ried an income of $5,OOo, and the Sun, in spite of the boycott against it, which is still maintained by many hundreds of labor men, is supposed to have cleared $S4,000. The Times also is cred fted with having ejoyed good year. Under Henry J. Raymond 1t was great propertv but its prestige and its profits fell away under the Jones regime and the erection of the Times building severely crippled it. Adolph Ochs however, has been bringing if to the front during his administration as publisher.

long Roman dresses as they are called.
 The material is so thin that it requires handsome lining, and none of the cheap substitutes will do; either the best taffeta or the finest dress satin must be employed for lining this delicate fabric, it is so ut terly sheer.
 With Roman gowns tha Roman heel Is worn, though it is not very becoming to the foot. Size and even comfort are sac rificed in this new whim of fashion. The Roman heel is very high and Is brought down straight at the back of the foot with out an incurve of any kind. It is high and large and cumbersome, yet when you get used to it you rather like 1t, because it Is so new.
 Roman stockings, also, are the fads of the hour. They are in long straight lines, not stripes, but points and figures. Broad panels at the knees come to a point at the ankles. Roman figures, looking curiously

guished. The laying of black velvet under lace yoke is very good; so also are the black velvet pippings. Black velvet is used under bows of lace, for hair or stock: and black velvet is also employed for the large Roberpierre cuffs. It is much used In thin grades for lining waists and 1t is the fa- vorite material for pipings. As an under lay for lace fiounce or one of gauge, 1t is unexeclled in showing forth the delicaey of the lace; and as garniture its use Is too we'll known to need word of praise.
 The newest use for black velvet is the strapping which is carried across the vest, terminating in little bows in the middle of the front Skirts are strapped in the same way, and box plaited fronts have the strapping brought across the front, fasten- ing in little buckles in the middle of the front breadth Black velvet buttons. either fiat or round, are in again, and you see them in all sizes. Then, too, there is the buckle of black velvet made by cov- ering a rude iron buckle with the material. Black gives the background which sets forth the picture.
 NEW FABRIC.
 The fabric of the week is mousseline with gauge stripe in it, bordered at each side with a band of cherry satin This material is made up in long straight lines, giving the figure great height. The prin- cess tunic is the preferred shape for these
The age-herald., 1900-05-06

tunic is a Princess cut out of striped goods in long straight lines from neck to hem; this particular one was low in the neck, without sleeves, and cut in long, sharp points that reached upward from the hem to the belt The entire tunic was bordered with tiny ruffle.
 NEW PANEL MODES.
 In afternoon dresses may be mentioned the calling gowns. These show novelties fin panel trimmings. The front and back of one skirt were laid in box plaits, but the sides were plain. Covering the entire side panels are large sprays of roses, and their leaves, all embroidered upon the cloth in the natural colors; the last spray touches the belt.
 Morning gowns are extremely smart, and embrace those worn for luncheon. Fancy a luncheon robe of white piece lace, made Princess and falling over a robe of cherry-colored chiffon; underneath the chiffon Is Princess of cherry -colored taffeta; and underneath all this glory there is worn a petticoat trimmed elabo- rately with lace ruffies.
 The pastel colors are disappearing with early spring, and in their place have come the more pronounced hues. There are vivid greens to take the place of the fade" tone, and there are deep browns, substantial blues and voyante reds. The soft faded colors will probably reappear next winter, for the most expensive couturieres insist upon booking orders for them as dance gowns next season. but for the late spring and summer they are dead.
 There is a touch of black to all gowns; "sombre ct caressante," the black gives tone to any gown and makes a light and impossible cloth look positively distin-

like columns. extend from the shoe ton to the garter line. and struggling vines go up and down the leg, giving length and slimness where there is a tendency to plumpness.
 A Paris modiste explains this new fad for stockings in a very common seiiss way. Tn these days of long skirts the stockings will surely show. When madame lifts her dress the hosiery will peep out. Why not then, make it for show? Why not design the stockings 50 that they will be joy and beauty, not thing to laugh at?' This has evidently been the motto of the new hosiery designers, for the new stockings are quite ideal in style
 In spite of the desperate efforts made to revive the hat which is tipped down over the eyes, the tendency is toward the toque. This term is now applied to the newest of this style of head gear. The new toque, while it is of straw, and rather large, looks very much like bon net. It sets far back on the head and is turned up in front and caught with few flowers. Soft trimmings drape the toque, and from the sides there come long streamers of tule, that are brought for ward and tied under the chin. pretty idea in streamers. though one without any standard of real use to recommend it, has one streamer which falls from the left ear, and a point just above the left ear, and is looped and draped under the chin. The handsomest pins are used to fasten theso streamers. and some of the designs are really marvels in extravagant workman ship.
 THE UNVEILED CROWN
 The crown is the most accepted decora- tion in jewelry. This is Victorian year, as well as a Eugenie year, and this, with the ever increasing popularity of young Wilhelmina, makes the queenly decora- tion popular one.
 Infants lap robes have the French crown embroidered in the center, the vel low made curiously bright with gold threads. In pins there is the gold crown, with points of pearl, and there are also. the handsome rhinestone crowns, no larger than a silver quarter, with points of turquoise.
 Parisians beginning to import native American jewels One hears about the Montana turquoise, which are said to have largely supplanted the Persian stones; and the Colorado opals have taken the place formerly occupied by the opal of Egypt. Washington emeralds are sold freely as American products, and ahe quite as popu- lar as the emeralds of the Caucasus It is really remarkable the great vogue there is for all products American.
 The handkerchief craze, instead of dy- ing out, is spreading. You have the square handkerchief parasols, the handkerchief boleros, and the handkerchief hats

Miss He.en GouId's Mall

New York Telegram to the Chicago Her
 aid.
 Miss Helen NJ. Gould probably receives more letters every day than any other woman in New York City, and nearly all of them contain requests for financial as- sistance. Her mail averages between 1,SO0 and 1000 letters and packages week, and on single days many as Ahn coninuni- cations have beer delivered at her house, To supply the demands in a single week, re> lnty, would involve an expenditure of Sl54S,5 502. Nearly every part of the United States was heard from, and everything imaginable was asked for, from a peddling horse and cart or a house for girl who wanted to get married to $1,O0O,OOO with which to found a colony in Cuba.
 Miss Gould's secretary opens and reads the letters, and a classification made dur ing a recent week showed requests as fol- lows, in 1908 letters:
 For money 3sO Loans aggregating... $500, OOQ To raise 149 mortgages, totaling. .... T,575 To aid churches 43.. ... =. ... ... 56,9S1 To aid educational institutions, 27. 35 800 Donations to libraries, 26.. .. .. .. 10000 For religious and charitable institu-
 uons..... 34 Personal requests, sums not named 43 For colony in Cuba... =. ... ...S 000, 900
 There was detailed plan for forming colony in Cuba. for which $1,000,000 was asked. Four girls asked help to obtain trousseaux, and one wanted house so that she could marry al once. There were twelve requests to buy inventions, and thirteen writers wanted money to pay for treatment for cancer, the morphine habit and dpso- mania. A minister wanted a horse and buggy, and there were ten requests for donations for church organs.
 One writer wanted money to buy a set of teeth; another to get a watch out of pawn. There were fifty-three requests for places thirty requests for interviews and one for permission to sell Miss Goulds pho- tographs for the writer's profit Letters from eighteen persons were classified as coming from "cranks," and seven writers informed Miss Gould that they had named their children for her.
