PARIS. Feb. -Eccentricity has been
marked feature Of latter-day fashion.
and as It has undeniably led to some striK-
ing creations in which however. conspieu-
ity has been coupled with exquisite taste
and perfection OF workmanship, it is hardly
TO be wondered al if the spring styles fol-
low suit and show some extraordinary com
binati0ns and the use Of unusual materials.
There is, for instance. fur. On the HI
yiera, where the spring toilette f0urishes
in its most pronounced form long before
stern Boreas has ceased to hold more
northern climes in his chilly embrace. it ia
surprising to see that the use OF fur dis
tinguished some Of the most elegant spring
costumes. and thus bids fair to be worn
later into the spring season. 1t is ermine

hardly suggests the warmth which heavier
and lufier furs imply. that forms the

rich model from the hands Of the
famous Robert is worn with exquisite
grace by a fashionable American bride
who is spending her honeymoon under the
azure sky Of the Riviera. This promenade
costume is so much admired that il is
worthy OF depicture on this page. The
skirt consists Of a souple cloth. a pale old
rose in color. Il is very simple in form,
closing under boXpleat at the back. and
is lined throughout with satin OF the same
dull shade. The curious decoration con-

novel little Zouave Jacket Of black
printed silk treated like the border on the
skirt extends around the back. having a
square yoke of the white fur above. and
a fitted piece Of Irish guipure lace follows
the square line Of the jacket at the back
and ends in two short tabs over each
shoulder. The waist is enCircled by a
girdle Of black silk ribbon which fastens
in the elongated front with a buckle of
crystal set in silver. The tight sleeve of
old-Tose cloth is capped with an epaulette
OF Powered black silk embroidered and
appliqued like the skirt border, and the
deep appliqued cuff is made to match and
finishes at the slight flare by a ruche of
cream colored mousseline de sole.
The stylish toque which accompanies this
costume is from the ateliers of MariscOt
Soeurs It is made OF open work fancy
straw, Of a rose shade to match the gown,
ana has tiny black silk ribbons running
through the interstices of the straw. The
trimming consists of a mass OF black Os-
trich pompons and two or three hat pins
of cut silver set with finely cut crystal
serve for ornament as well as use and re-
call the crystal buttons and buckle which
embellish the bodice.
Among the small t0lleCje accessories,
which are matters Of great Importance to
the woman who wishes to appear we'll

One which we illustrate today is a model
by Henri a la Pensee. and can be easily
copied The high. soft collar is composed
of finely tucked India muslin and closes at
the back. where IL is stiffened by narrow
satin-covered whalebone by the means Of
tiny hooks and eyes. The cravat is OF the
same soft material. tied into graceful
knot and finishing in two short ends richly
appliqued with a fitted border OF Irish
guipure.
4 graceful gew-gaw which will do good
service during the heated term is the fan

work mounted upon black satin ribbon. The
buckle at the top is finished with a strong
pin which attaches it firmly to the belt or
bodice The ribbon is long enough to ad-

fastened to the lower chain. When not
in use the lower end buckles over on the
upper ornamental hook. This cOntrivance
is invaluable for the ball gown in which
case the ribbon may match the costume in

Dainty coiffures are Indispensable at all
occasions when the hat is not worn. A
very becoming one is here illustrated. Very
small white ostrich feathers simulate a
bow from which rises a feathery white
aigrette sparkling with tiny dewdrops Of
finely cut crystals.

nature to the same institute to encourage
astronomical research.
Various expensive instruments have
been presented to the Paris Observatory
by Miss Drummer.
Nine. d'Abbadie. together with her hus-
band, donated their entire family fortune
to the French Academy Of Sciences on
condition that there should be completed
within fifty years a catalogue Of 800, 600
stars. Nine. Guzman, a French woman,
was the enthusiast who left provision in
her will for a prize of $40 600 for the per-
son able to find means Of communicating
with a star.
Annie Sheepshanks. an English woman
who died in 1875, gave $4,000 for the
founding Of an astronomical scholarship at
Trinity College. and later bestowed $4,000
additional to buy a new transit circle for
the Cambridge observatory. Work CT the
utmost Importance was promoted by her
generosity and the resulting catalogue Of
14.464 stars was completed and published
two years ago.
Nearly all these women were the daugh-
ters, sisters, or wives OF men associated
with astronomical interests. Some few
were prompted to make free gifts through
the influence Of friends jealous for the
good Of the cause. Their bounty in some
measure compensates for the somewhat
meagre remuneration that the actual toll
ers in the field receive.

AS a rule. the women OF all classes
are as straight as the wall Of a house, il
not slraighter. A plumb line dropped from
the nape OF the neck would. in most in

the gait is a peculiar swing which is quite
noticeable. Some charge this. as well as
the ztraightness. to their habit Of carrying
all burdens from a cake Of soap to a house

probably the cause OF the erect bearing.
