THE Mosr EffEorIrh eowSs.

No one material is in highest favor.
In silk, in oottoh, in laoe,,, and in
every known and unknown weave and
manufacture are fabrics whose beauty
of coloring and texture would have de-
lighted the soul of the Queen of Sheba.
The foulard silk gowns are most wcn-
derful 10 coloring, and are, il possible,
the most popular. One especial gown is
worth careful description. 1t is made
Of mauve foulard with black figures
the upper part of the waist il of black
mousseline de sole with black chenille
dots, the lower part slashed at the back
and in the frort to show this nous
seine de sole. and il finished around
the top quite in the style Of low-out
evening gown with band Of lace az
Elique; the upper part of the sleeves is
Of the mousssline, then comes band
Of lace, with the lower part of tho
sleeve Of the foulard. The skirt lie in
tucks, with a yoke of white lace, and
the COLLAR and sash give an odd note of
color that Is essentially French, for they
are made OF black velvet lined with q
rose ping taffeta. Rose-color and mauve
are one OF the most daring combina-
tions often attempted, but nothing
venture, nothing have" and the conn
bination rs demonstrated in this gown
Is distractingly successful. With the
costume Is worn q hat of soft mauve
tuue with rosettes of black velvet
lined with the rose.pink tatfeta.
The small points of interest not at
first noticed make study for the artist
or for the keen observer at tho ex-
position. a fashion of the past two or
three years, and one especially preva-
lent at present. is tc use Turkish en-
bIoideries with cloth and silk gowns.

COLORED STOCKINGS.


Colored stockings are much more fash
ionable than they were, and very vivid
colorings are 10 be seen on some of the
now ones displayed in the shops. They
are to be had In the light cotton, the Isle
thread and the silk, and there is very
little difference in the design in the differ
ent qualities. ~
Tho silk is rather quieter, If such q
term can be used. and are effective
merely In the designs that are used. An
open work pattern is sometimes made
with medallions, set in or with stripes of
lace insertion and with tiny dots of en-
broidery as we'll. There are also silk
'stoekings with transparent rlbbings and
embroidered clocks in bright colors.
u Is a fad to wear stockings the
color of the dress, provided one has
small feet, but the prettiest of all the
stockings are the ones worn with the dark
blue gowns; those of silk or silk and Isle
are the prettlest in the open-work de-
signs and not the most elaborate designs.
Then there are gray and beige, the new
color that is SO fashionable, and the
stockings exactly match the gowns with
which they are worm.

VISIT TO THE EMPRESS DoWAGER.

One Who Was Present Tells of the Historic
Event in the Chinese Court.
Frank G. Carpenter, who is now in
the East. sends to The Saturday Even
ing Post long article about the EN-
press Dowager and China, his facts
having been gathered only few days
before the present troubles broke out.
Two years ago the Empress Dowager
set aside all precedents and received
the ladies of the foreign legations at
Pekln. One who was present told Mr.,
Carpenter about it. Among other things
she said:
Her Majesty was dressed in pale
yellow silk gown, beautifully embroid.
cred with flowers and dragons of the
same color. She wore the headdress
commonly worn by elderly Chinese
women, her hair being, fastened in a
knot at the back Just below the crown,
the front Of the head and part of the
| forehead being concealed by silk band
heavily embroidered with pearls of
large size.
II was struck with Her Majesty e
youthful appearance. She was ga. but
she looked 10 years younger. Her face
was plump and free from wrinkles. She
had high forehead, elongated perhaps
by the custom of the Chinese ladies Of
pulling out the hairs at the edge of the
forehead with tweezers. She had a
strong face and in youth must have
been very pretty. During the audience
she frequently smiled, and l could see
no signs of that cruelty with which she
has been charged.
"Her Majesty smade us welcome to
the palace and to China. She said she
was glad indeed to receive us as foreign.
ers, and that we should be friendly with
one another, for were we not all of one
family?
1.-THE banquet was fine, icing made
up of many COURSES and consisting ol
both Chinese and foreign dishes.
After the banquet the Empress
Dowager again met informally with the
ladies, drinking tea with each of them
in turn, and in some cases throwing
her arm about one and embracing her.
"At this time she gave each lady q
present of beautiful gold ring sci
with pearl as big as marrowfat pea.
three silk dresses from the royal looms
and set of two dozen combs. Through.
out the whole audience she was exoep
tionally gracious, and her manners were
as polite and affable and at the, same
time as dignified and ladylike as coulc
be those OF any Empress of Europe. -

Population.



New York is but little over 100; in
Nganhwei it is 425, and the province has
no city that is anywhere near the size
of the Greater New York. II will be OBJ
served also of the whole region which we
have referred to that it contains but one
province whose population is not ex-
ceedingly debse., Shansi has only 2e1 in
habitants to the square mile while Massa-
chusetts has $40, but the range for
the others Is fr,m 304 for Chile
to 557 for Shangtung, and they include
the seacoast from Shanghai north and
the lower valleys of the Yellow and
Yangtsckiang Rivers, where the military
operations of the north would have to be
begun in case ofa general uprising. Amid
such a horde of people properly armed
and drilled under efficient generals q
great army might soon be annihilated.

only six have a smaller population to the
