.ARIs, Feb. 24.-There have been a

DARIs, Feb. 24--There have been a
good many Americans in Paris OF
late, the majority Of them being
on their way south to enjoy the balmy
air of the Mediterranean countries. The
crowd that every day hangs about the
exposition grounds is a foreign one, the
majority being Americans. In many
things they are disappointed. The stat
he of Jeanne dare, for instance, which
should have been beautiful and impos-
ing, is, after all, cheap and tawdry
looking with its veneering Of gilt. 1t
will not please and it will not last.
Fremiet would have shown better taste
had he executed his groups with less of
a striving for modern gorgeousness and
given them to us in white stone.
/ The spring hats that are being shown
: in the shops are not especially novel.
How could they be, for fashion tacitly
! acknowledges that she has come to the
limit of inventive power when she re-
turns to first principles in the use Of old
costumes. Women of fashion and mo-
distes are ransacking the old galleries
and porting over old plates in a vain
/ effort to discover something at least
relatively new. Vandyke's pictures
suggested the new collars over the
shoulders, lace broad and rich, and the
portraits of Josephine have been stud
/ led and restudied for empire effects
The Romney and Reynolds and Gains
borough portraits have likewise been
analyzed for suggestions, and now
there seems but little else to fall back
upon.
Some one says that the next innova-
ton in skirtmaking will be the adop-
ton of the pannier; the natural Sc
ouence, this, of the very long skirts that
we have been wearing, for the instruct
i've draping of the long skirts over the
hips in vain effort to make them walk
ing length must sooner or later have
suggested their adoption to some hawk
eyed fashion designer. At present
gowns are merely plated over the hips,
but they are laid in loose folds so de-
cidedIy suggestive of the pannier that
the inference that panniers are about
to be adopted is natural one.
Another of the new ideas adopted is
that of wearing sleeveless dinner
gowns. These have the necks cut high,
but are without sleeves. This is fash
ion that was popular in 1876 and is at-
fected only by ladies who have fine
arms. A black or dark gown shows off
the charms Of the rounded white arm
to best advantage, but the woman with
the slender, graceful limb finds the rose
colored or wine colored velvets or satins
best for bringing out her good points.
Some odd combinations of colors are
considered smart. For instance, law
ender and certain shades of blue, such
as powder blue and hyacinth blue, are
affected by fashion leaders. The pop
ularity of a fashion seems to be gagged
largely by it's audacity.
For those who desire good durable
silk of the newer style peau de CANT is
to be recommended for dress founda-
lions, especially those which are to be
much trimmed. Those gowns which are
to be decorated with many rows of
stitching upon silk are best made of the
peau de CANT, as its wearing qualities
are superior. Silk canvas is very fire.

Fashions In Mourninx.

Many widows, finding Grape wells and
bonnets too heavy, replace them with
black silk grenadine, but the crowns OF
the Grape bonnets are unlned and gen.
orally display an Alsa tan bow in front
Frenchwomen lead the way in the mat
ter Of the long pendent wells; the most
graceful is the Gallo, especially as
worn by the young girls.
Toques, hats and be nnets worn in the
lesser degrees of mon rning are made in
dull, fancy and satin straw, cloth or
felt. 1t is not considered good taste to
combine ostrich feathers with Grape;
they are replaced 10y dull wings and
quilts. giving the appearance of great
breadth across the. face, sometimes
brought about by straw wings lined
with tuckings of chiffon or Grape or by
large bows of silk edged with fringe
falling over the briIns at the side. Many
felt toques and hats are trimmed with
huge rosettes and folds of chiffon, black
paradise, osprey and gourras (the latter
most a la mode). with dull jet; but
mourning millinery follows the current
modes as 10 shape and styles modified
by the exigencies of the material used.
Widows caps are now relegated TO
elderly women; younger widows simply
u
The shape of the cap undergoes but lit
tie change; in Paris the Marie Stuart
in tulle or lisse is still the prevailing
form. Bonnet wells for covering the
face in deep mourning are of grenadine
or of net, bordered with hem of Grape
or three or five rouleaux. Spotted nets
are not considered suitable.
With regard to ornaments, in the first
depth of woe jet only is permissible. Civ
ing place by and by to pearls and dia-
monds. Jet purse chains are made in
bright, not dull. jet. There is plenty of
choice in small dull and bright let
brooches and bracelets Earrings are
now entirely the fashion, and balls of
jet or, rather, onyx. which has exact
ly the same appearance, but is harder
and more durable, are made on the
same principle as diamond earrings.
In the muslin or lawn cuffs and col
lars for widows there can be little
change. Sometimes they have broad
hens. sometimes several narrow ones,
but they should always be worn over
blocks-viz, stiffeners, which keep them
in shape. Even in the earlier stage of
widowhood, when evening dress is ig
nOred and the deep mourning high
gown is considered suitable for all oc-
casions, white Marie Antoinette fichus
in chiffon or lisse, with plain frillings.
are admissible. Lisse has been adapt-
ed to ruffles in white or black, and
Grape, lisse, chiffon and black giace
ties of the now universal sailor knot
form, with a silk fringe, are worn in all
but the earlier stages.

quality Of looking well as long as any
of the material remains. Mousseline
duchesse is a new satin of very soft
quality; it is especially charming in
corn, reseda. lilac and brown. Khaki in
wool and linen is beginning run which
| will probably be a popular one, as the
material is strong and therefore use
full one, especially for children's gar
ments. Cloths gauffered and with checks
and challies of silklike surface are indi-
Gated as the proper things for spring
Juvenile gowns.
Pastel colors still are worn Light
mauves, reed greens and the new shade
called flame pink have been adopted for
general wear and by spring will be all
the rage.
Ribbons will be good deal used in
trimming gowns, as they have been
during the winter. The puckered ones,
gauzes and shot ribbons, the ribbon
with lace upon the edges, all will GER
tainly be much in demand. The striped
ribbons, too, will have their admirers,
those with perpendicular lines being the
most modish.
Painted leather introduced on some
street gowns is found to be a trimming
of very good effect. We have had hand
painted satin and silk and cloth, and
now hand painted leather ornaments,
much more lasting than any woven
fabric, is sensibly being introduced.
With care the chamois can be cleaned
when soiled and the painting used to
trim another gown when the cloth has
seen its days of usefulness departed.
Cloth gowns, too, are painted. but
they are too expensive for ordinary
wearers, especially with the painted
skirt fronts which the fashionable Wo-
men are fond Of donning.
Cut out patterns in cloth show no
signs of disappearing-in fact it is a
season of elaborateness combined with
simplicity. Gray and brown street
gowns with cut out bands across the
skirt, and with silk of lighter shade
underneath. are upon the models in the
shops now displayed for spring wear.
Coiffeurs are introducing the fashion
of turning the hair straight back from
the face, a style that suits very few
women.
Leghorn hats are expected to be very
popular this coming season. For trim
ming them wide ribbons ostrich plumes
and flowers will be much used, al
though a great deal of straw braid is
to be utilized.
Fichus and lace scarfs are still a la
mode; they give a sOftening effect to
the severest toilet and serve admirably
to touch up a rather shabby costume.
Orange is a color that seems to be
gaining in vogue. Where a season or
so ago an orange gown was the excep-
ton one sees much orange, corn color
and amber used with black for matron-
ly gowns with most charming effect.
Velvet for visiting gowns is popular.
When the cotton stuff is adopted, only
the best quality should be selected.
Satin, faille or damask looks better for
evening wear than the light shades Of
velvet The bolero and Elton jackets
remain undated in popularity and are
expected to be features in spring fash
ions.
Corduroy, while not so much used as
velvet, makes very pretty and very
serviceable street dresses. 1t is a fact
that corduroy will outwear almost any
other fabric and still look fresh and

and ornamental. A small wastebasket
underneath, a chair at one side, with a
tabouret, on which stands a f1owerpot

troublesome corner is finished.
In the dining room the corner may be
fitted with one of the triangular china
closets which can be purchased for so
little. In case the china closet owned
by the family is a fiat one, it can be
placed across the corner and its height
relieved by a set Of ornamental plates
on brackets.
In the drawing room a table on which
china and a handsome unframed en-
craving or painting are arranged will
give a pretty effect to a corner, espe-
ciaIly if one side is finished with framed

MOUNT VERNON. Sept 27.--Thomas NJ
Vance. OF Olympia. was the speaker at the
Democratic rally at the opera house last
night, In point OF numbers and enthus-
asm the rally was n depressing frost. In
the opera house; with a seating capacity
OF 800, hardly 100 men. women and chill
dren We're gathered. and not even the
name Of Bryan was able to rouse them to
applause.
Mr.. Vance. In opening, made the re-
markable statement that mot In one pre-
cinct In the state had the sentiment OF
the voters changed" and urged his breth-
at the head OF the ticket
On expansion Mr.. Vance took the ground
that the retention of the Philippines was
unprofitable, that our policy in the Phil
ippires was the laughing stock OF Europe
and we could not AFFORD to be laughed
at; that the retention OF the Philippines
meant militarism. with standing army
OF 10000 The Democratic plan wound he
TO haul down the nag sail away and then
say 10 the nations OF the world that we
would protect the island empire while II
worked out Its own salvation, and that
any or all nations who dared TO interfere
would have the United States to fight.
This plan would not need a standing army.
He touched on the silver question. and
gave az his reason for 80 doing that
the previous night at Sedro- wooliey he
had forgotten II, and had heard IL said
that he was afraid OF II. He spoke Of Il
hero TO show that on the subject he
knew no fear.
He attacked Mark Hanna. touched light
the Democratic party would try to do
something to settle It.
James Brady and others spoke briefly.
and then the little audience iled out
