plan is again receiving attention is that
the figure is worn low, with no dip in
where the waist comes, but a straight
line down. The hips are still pro-
nounced, but, all the same 1 find sylphs

men, so stick to Kissengen and Vichy.
OF paramount Importance. of course,
are the coming skirts. 1t is surely the
survival of the fttest, for the plated
ones are so charming constructed
that every woman can be pleased, while
such was not the fact with the habit

1 have selected three distinctive types
which declare their superior qualifica-
tons. The first has the plain front
gore, with a half dozen side plaits
meeting at back in full, flowing box
plat. 1t is ornamented with small but
tons and fancy stitching. Another
shows both the plated skirt and bod
ice. the latter being the natural out
growth of the new fashion. Narrow
plaits stitched 10 within nine inches Of
the bottom of the skirt is its chief
characteristic and will be liked by stout
women, who will avoid the folds of
cloth necessary TO making the broader

The extreme use OF plaits is exempIi-
fed in a beautiful afternoon gown of
tan ladies' cloth. Plaits are laid yoke

plated fiounce~ borders the long skirt,
and the semihishop sleeves are plated
both top and bottom.

4 FTER the fuss and fiutter and
Ia fine feathers of the equine show
4 \ comes the horse show without
horses, which has just opened in New
York. Madison Square Garden is the
scene of this remarkable exhibition. 1t
is an innovation that must charm
Mother Shipton, can she view from
EIysium the fulfllment of her prophecy
that carriages would run without
horses. In her day the only auto vehicle
was the midnight broomstick, on which
aged danes of eccentric reputation
were supposedly accustomed to take
midnight rides. In this year of grace
1900 the witch's method of transporta-
ton, while similar in principle to that
now the fact, is somewhat different in
form. The autocar boasts charming
passenger in the fair damsel who
lounges upon its cushions, and she ex-
ercises a no less potent influence. al
though a more genial one, than did the
sorceress who rode the aerial broom
stick.
The show is a fashionable affair
that goes without saying when one con-
sideEs that the American Automobile
club includes some of the wealthiest
and smartest people in the larger cities
of the country. Nine hundred dollars
is the cost of a simple carriage, price
that is practically prOhibitive except
for a certain fortunate class. There are
more automobiles in use in New York
than anywhere else, although Chicago,
Boston, San Francisco and the interme-
date large cities have their share.
For the reason that there are more au-
tomobiles in the east than in the west
the national automobile show is held
in New York.
The boxes and other seats will be
filed every day with the beauty and
fashion of Manhattan as well as with
interested visitors from other places.
Among the we'll known folks interested
in automobile riding are Mrs. Stuyve-
SAINT Fish, the first society woman to
make use of it and who helped to in
troduce the automobile at Newport;
Mrs o. H. P. Belmont, who gave a
unique automobile party at her New
port home during the summer; Mrs.
Harry Payne Whitney, who was Miss
Gertrude Vanderbilt; Mrs. Herman
Oelrichs, Miss Gerry, Miss Daisy Post
and Mrs. John Drexei. These are a
few among the New York society wo-
men who have been ardent automo-
bilists.
Mrs o. H. P. Belmont and Mrs. Fish
were the first women to attempt auto
mobile riding in America. In the fall
of 1899 Mrs. Belmont organized the ia
nous automobile parade at Newport.
In this all the cottagers owning auto
matte vehicles appeared in flower dec
ora fed carriages and contested for the
prize to be awarded for the most expert
driving and the handsomest decora-
tions. The prize for the former was

ANCIENT BETRoTHAL RINGS.

Engagement rings among the Egyq-
tians were always of iron, to indicate
the mutual sacrifices Of liberty Of the
contracting parties. One OF the very
earliest adornments of betrothal rings
was loadstone, which symbolzed the
attractive force which drew q maid
from her own family circle into that OF
her husband. The ring was used as
an accessory of the nuptial rite long
before the Christian era. In early times
gold money used to circulate in Egypt
in the form OF rings. and thus when a
man placed a gold ring on the finger
Of his bride it was token that he en-
dowed her with his wealth The same
idea appears in the marriage rites Of
the Church OF England, which directs
the bridegroom to place the ring on the
brides finger-"with all my worldly
goods l thee endow" The fourth fin
ger has always been the brides ring
finger.

A woMAN GUNNER.

There is one instance OF a woman
fighting on board an English man-of-
war She was the wife of a gunner on
Admiral Rodney's flagship. and she
piled the trade Of a bumboat woman
during the war between England and
France. when Rodney had command Of
the channel fleet. During the height Of
an engagement, Rodney, TO his inn
mense surprise. saw woman serving
one of the guns, and doing her work
well. In the heat OF the fight the ad-
miral overlooked the breach Of disci-
pline and let the woman continue.
When the fight Vas won. Rodney asked
the woman:
what are you doing here?'
Fighting the French" said she
My husband is wounded and down in

Very gently she was reprimanded.
and then she was sent ashore with 10
guineas as a reward.

ard Croker and his son are both fond OF
using their steam automobiles. Mr.
Winslow z. Busby and Mr.. A. L Bar
hour and Mr. Whitney Lyon are among
those frequently seen on the drives Of
New York in their own auto carriages.
In Chicago the automobile craze is
quite as decided as in New York. Mrs.
ogden Armour. Mrs. p. d. Armour, Jr-
and the Princess Engalitchen are
among Chicago autonobilists Of note
According to experts at the show tbs
phaeton is the correct conveyance for
use IN driving in the morning hours
The brougham is used for shopping
for going to the opera or to evening
parties or on bad days. while the VIC
toria IS the correct carriage for making
calls or for a spin along the avenue.
One of the charms of the auto car
riage is its privacy; the coachman and
footman may be temporarily dispensed
with so. that there is no eInbarrass-
ment from curious cared lackeys when
one goes out 10 ride with a friend Of
ones own sex into whose ears there
may be many a tale of woe TO be
poured.
Some facts which the present exhi-
bition may demonstrate are that the
cost Of an automobile is not greater
than that OF a good carriage and fine
pair of horses; that the auto carriage
may be so easily managed that chile
can be intrusted with one as safely as
with a bicycle. At present there are
only about 500 automobiles In this
country. but orders for them have been
pouring in so fast that the factories are
working night and day 70 supply the
demand. For long distance runs the
gasoline carriage seems to be the
best. as enough fuel can be carried 70

The electric carriages must be freshly

! One noticeable thing about the auto
mobile craze is the difficulty TO be met
with in finding suitable words 20 ex-
press the various phases Of the fad. The
carriages are called by a dozen names,
any one OF which is as expressive
as another. They are termed autocars.
autOgos, autodos, teuf teufs. automo-
I biles. autobains and a dozen other
names. none Of which is very con-
venient or expressive. Likewise the
person who propeIs the carriage Is
spoken OF as the automobilist. the chat

new phrases, and at the show il is only
the old automobile fiend who can use

propriety. ELLA MATHIESSEN.
