New York, March Miss May Goe-
let has been in Paris doing her spring
shopping. Gossips whisper buying her
trousseau. Certain it is that Prince
Henry of Orleans was ever at her
pretty heels and equally positive is it
that His Highness accompanied her
home carrying many a tiny parcel
| While mamma looked approvingly on.
Miss Goelet's prettiest shopping hat
was turban, round and rather large
in the head to come down well forward
1t was trimmed with feathers and vel
vet all in two shades of green, a light
and dark shade. Her coat was a
| dark green panne velvet trimmed with
! bands of pale green silk braid The
collar was a very tall Eugene, and
both cuffs and collar were trimmed
with the braid, as were the sleeves.
The Duchess of Marlborough has also
been shopping in Paris. Fer mother,
Mrs. O. h. p. Belmont, accompanied
| her everywhere, the two looking sim
! gularly alike in countenance in spite of
the fact that the Duchess is tall and
! slender and dark, while her mother is
short and light. From a private let
/ ter received from Paris a day ago
quote the following:
1t is interesting to watch these two
ladies around whom interest has CEN
/ tered constantly for the past few years
| The little Duchess, looking very pretty
and smiling, in spite of the fact that the
! Duke is at the front is out daily. Her
shopping was principally along the
pretty shops of the Rue de la PaiX
where the windows are so wonderfully
attractive; for here they do not hest
! tate to display their goods, not afraid
they Will become common from the
public eye
1.-THE Duchess bought an afternoon
gown that is worthy of description, not
only because it was pretty, but be-
cause it was odd.
ut was in that new material which
is called Japanese satin. 1t looks very
much like Japanese silk, but is little
| heavier and more lustrous. 1t comes in
plain colors but SO figured that you can
hardly recognize the groundwork; and
such figures, quantity beautiful in their
irregular outlines and diverse shades.
The Duchess fingered long between
blue with figures in pale green, bright
red and dark yellow; and red with
black and white dots slashed here and
there with gold arrows. She finally
chose the blue, and when she had meas
ured off enough for bodice and skirt
She fitted away to the taffeta counter
where she bought tunic of blue taft
feta to which she added a belt and
stock of blue velvet to exactly match
the tunic. A little toque of velvet was
afterwards added to the outfit"
PRETTY WAISTS.
Interest centers now in the pretty
house waists which are to be worn
during Lent, at the sewing circles and
other industries which eliminate in a
grand charity function at Easter.
The newest device is a large square
of silk, embroidered ali around the
edge in beautiful colors and designs
This is to be made into boleros, Etons,
and palette jackets. a palette" jacket
is a small sleeveless coat cut rounding
under the arms and open in front 1t
has a rolling collar and receives it's
name from the fact that it is the
jacket generally affected by girl artists
who slip it on over shirt waist of any
color or material.
Very large bandana silk handker-
chiefs are used as silk squares from
which to fashion these little boleros;
and squares of plain silk are embroid-
cred around the edge by hand
For the regeneration of a positively
hopeless silk waist there are several
treatments suggested, this being about
the cheapest and best with the most
fashionable results when the waist is
finished:
