ments-it was SO comfortable and withal
had such an easy grace that few women
could withstand 1t, though most men
showed more or less objection on the
ground that it was Stimulating too much the
masculine aspect OF habilment. All scru-
pies were quickly overcome however, with
the result Of some ravishing creations in
the shape of tailor made spring costumes
in Princesse style. which recommended
both the art and the ingenuity Of the first
dressmakers of the great fashion metropo-
lis. These frocks are worn over corsets
that give sufficient room to the muscles
about the waist. though they compress
those OF the hips and abdomen, while the

Empire styles is reached. however. in the
evening and dinner toilettes which the
great modelers have lately brought out.
Some have a tight-fitting foundation OF
silk, with loose over-drapery Of diapha-
nous material. and others like our model
from the famous Doucet follow the Jose
phine' models closely, and are exquisite
and costly enough to be worthy of joining
the wardrobe of Napoleon's extravagant
and beautiful queen.
Doucet's model is made for the we'll
known Mile. Levaliiere, Of the Theatre
des Varieties, OF Paris. who wears 1t with
unusual grace. The gown is worn with
out stays. except a tight-ittlug boned
waist of strong TWILL which holds in the
hips and abdomen tightly, and to which
are attached the silk underclothes and one

trimmed with insertions and wide but
scant founce of real Valenciennes lace. The
gown consists of close fitting Princesse
of soft white satin. cut very long and with
a slight train, and over this falls the loose
drapery OF white mous5eline de sote. ap-
pliqued at the hem with two uIdulating
bands of real Bruges lace embellished with

closely strung pink roses, while the right
one has two puffs OF mousseline separated
by several strings Of pearls and turquoises
ard finished above with a row Of rozes
like the left sleeve. The shoulder bands
are composed of strings Of pearls, and a
wide bracelet of pearls and turquoises en-
circles the left upper arm. By way OF a
charming contrast, two deep red velvety
roses with foliage are pinned with careless
grace to the left side Of the corsage. A
high stock collar Of turquoise blue velvet
embroidered with silver and set with
pearls and turquoises forms an appropriate
complement to a toilette which must be
seen to be fully appreciated.
The tenacity with which women cling to
the separate bodice compels the dressmak-
ers to use their inventive geniuses in that
direction. A Robert model Of this descrip-
ton for soiree occasions is entirely COM
posed of black fish spangles sewed on
in the shape of leaves veined with cut
steel beads. The deep decollete is rather
trying to any but faultless bust and
shoulders and can be draped with fine
black silk illusions to make 1t more be-
coming. Any desirable skirt can be worn
with this model. though one of black silk
or net Is preferable.
Another evening bodice from the same
artistic source is well fitted for informal
special functions. 1t consists OF draped
rose-colored mousseliue de sole over a
tight rose satin foundation. The front
drapery closes slightly to one side, with
succession of graduating choux of black
mousseline de sole A black skirt is equal
ly appropriate with this bodice.

KINGS OF THE KITCHEN.
Some Facts About the French Chefs
Behind the Range.
Copyright, 1900. by R. Burns.)

Copyright, 1900, by r. Burns.)
PARIS, May 2, 1SO0.-Paris is putting
her best foot foremost just now with a
view to showing savage foreigners from
the boiled beef Englishman to the pie
eating American that the most civilized
man in the world is the one who Is most
scientifically. daintily. and above all Geo.
nomically fed. The Frenchman is making
no great fuss over his display Of raw
food stuffs at the exposition. leaving that
to the Americans and to Russia and Aus
tralia. but he is rather Unfortunately proud
Of his demonstrations of the art OF cook
cry and his economic and scientific
achievements therein.
This is the reason why. in spite Of
the charms Of great pictures, statuary.
Swiss villages and elegant costumes
under glass, the exposition OF cooking
stoves in machinery hall is constantly
crowded, and in the fine arts building
there is daily laid afresh before an admir-
ing audience state banquet that is fit to
set before a king.
When the morning flame is started
in Partisan house or restaurant. the
cook begins by paper and magolins,
then coal In good fresh Jumps. Mage
Inns are faggots from the forest, the dry
droppings Of the trees; not any part Of
the trunk or big boughs. and in conse-
quence this woodland waste. carefully
gathered all the year through and
bound in Myth tied bundles. can be sold
at the small sum Of a sou a bunch. It's
the best and cheapest finder wood ever
put on the market and when the cook
has got her range going, she begins 10
regulate her fire ineXpensively by putting
on boulets. They are nothing more than
coal dust pressed into bricks or egg shaped
Jumps, the refuse of the coal yard all
turned into valuable fuel that burns verr,
very slowly. but with an intenser heat and
a steadier glow than the best of our small
hard coal. and II is easy to guess at how
much less expense.
There is one famous specialist in Paris.
Gustav by name who earns $4,000 year
by merely going the rounds of a few res
taurants every evening and preparing a
certain number OF game dishes at each.
Days In advance a lover Of good food must
leave his order with the patron of the
restaurant for one OF Gustav's famously
good ducks A date is then fixed when the
gourmand can hope to enjoy the services
OF the gifted cook and when the oppor-
tunity to profit by the great chefs art
comes round an elaborate supper Is the fit
ting environment for the faultless duck.

reefs, standing like Napoleon at Austerlitz,
impassively regarding the progress of the
great triumph of mind over matter, and
controlling the forces that transform crude
fowl flesh into a dish of most exquisite
SAVIOR. Often enough the evening rounds
of a man OF Gustav's Importance include
call at a private house for the purpose
of preparing one of his great dishes at
side table in the dining room. right before
the eyes of the interested guests. OF late
years. having a notable cook in to do what
Americans would call stunts at a grand
dinner party has been one of the most pop
ular Partisan fashions. The chef. whether
Gustav or another, is apt to charge about
los francs. or as high as 200 francs, the
equivalent Of $40. for his services in pre-
pairing single course for a table full Of
people. He brings his own utensils and
possibly his own oven, one Of these strange
round drum shaped French inventions to
set on range or gas frame and inside
which everything can be cooked from the
most delicate little cakes to the heaviest
roasts.
When man is able to ask such a price
as this it is easy to imagine that his art
is no mere fad nor the Partisan love Of
perfectly prepared food fleeting fancy.
What he Is most proud Of Is the fact that
he began his career as a vegetable picker
in a blouse and sabots, counting even at
that age dreams of some magnificent dish,
an original conception Of his own genius,
displayed at the annual exposition Gull
nare in the Tuileries gardens. This
achievement will bring him fame. a blue
ribbon and medals galore and with that
before him the French cook IL he has II

high enough sometimes to get highly
priced bit Of red ribbon to put in his
coat as did the chef of the Elysee Palace.

terview with his Russian majesty.
But IL he is power for artistic progress
on one side to these chefs and their in
fuence must be laid as well the accusa-
ton OF retardng the progress of mechani-
cal kitchen devices.
Patent appliances don't appeal to these
great men and they will even go so far as
not to teach In cours where such convent
