Mrs Mackay has emerged rom black, and wears the most exquisite con- captions in purple and lavender, verenng well toward rose. Her gowns are charac- terized by their rich fronts. many Of them being embroidered with jewels from neck to hem all the way down the front.
 Greys are very popular. You see them in the street as well as in the hands ot the couturleres, who are making them up into charming little summer gowns. Cinder, zine and rose gray are three shades much noticed; then there is alumine, which holds its own, and Quaker which is hard to equal in any of the new tones.
 Pique will do it's share in summer fash ions. Pique in full blown rose ptnK Is made up in a tunic, pointed around the foot, while from under the tunic. lying all around the feet, comes a froth of tiny ruffles in cinder grey taffeta and white lace.
 House gowns are all made with bras serie. This is a dress lining so well boned that no corset need< be worn with it. The brasserie is made with nne-tenths of the street dresses, and gives always that charming shape which is so noticeable on French gowns.
 Elbow sleeves are in again, and are seen in the summer models, both for the house and summer resorts. Of course this means a bangle and bracelet summer, for where is there a woman who will neglect such an opportunity?

 The Countess of Ava, who is in mourning for the late Earl of Ava, to whose title her husband succeeded is dressing very pret- tily, though in rather subdued way, these days The countess, if you recall, was Miss Flora Davis of New York. After her mar riage to Lord Terence Blackwood, five years ago, she came to reside in Paris to which legation her husband was attached. Early in the Boer war the Earl of Ava was killed, and Lord Terence, hitherto a penniless younger son, succeeded to the title and estates.
 A PRETTY FRONT
 The countess, who is famous beauty, or. dered, through her French couturiers, not long ago, taffeta plaided dress made with basque waist and two lapels standing out straight. The front was filled in with lace.

shoulder look low, is still seen, but 1t is not quite as popular as it was.
 It was eabled over to the United States early in the season; and, as an item Of positive fashion now comes back again, that there should be yoke waists this season. Investigation, however, proved this to be without founda tion In ten gowns or dered by Miss May Goeet, that heiress who must make a brilliant match this season, there was not one without yoke Several were of mousseline de chine, a very silky fabric of white, through which ran stripes of silk and satin in different colors.
 The pastel shades hold their own so well that women of pale types are in despair. Your correspondent saw the ambassador from one of the largest nations in Europe seated at church last Sunday with his three daughters, ranging in row along side him. All were supremely blonde, and all were dressed precisely alike in blue gray, with silk yoke and RCIbespierre cuffs of pastel silk. How pale and nsipid those girls looked and how interesting their blonde types would have appeared if, in- stead of those pale colors, they had chosen Vandylke brown or Wedgwood blue. All are wearing khaki color now, and like absent minded beggars some of them look in that sickly dust color, unrelieved by even touch of black.
 France has no love for England just now, as far the courtiers go for England is ordering black and khaki color and little else. While Trance runs riot in a revel of violet and blue, indigo and orange, vel low and green, and all the other prismatic colors and their variations.
 A NEW BLUE.
 Josephine blue is new shade, so named fin honor of that dearly beloved French queen whose graces are to be so fittingly commemorated during the now nearly ap- preaching exposition. Josephine blue is ex- actly the color of the darkest blue, in a forget-fne-not It is a plain, uncompromis- ing blue, such as they wore in the days before the primary dye stuffs were tam pered with. 1t is found In the new mousse- line de chine, and in charmingly made up flounces of striped white and blue, each founce laid over with lace put on in big curves.
 Yokes of the most brilliant contrast are worn. With the Josephine blue you will see yoke of white silk striped with cherry satin; and, dividing the yoke from the waist, is strange little Castellane fischu of fine lace. The t1schu is half yard wide and is draped from shoulder to shoulder in such a way that 1t falls prettily from the yoke well over the bust.
 The Countess Castellane, who Is one of the most discussed women in society today, is said to have all her clothes selected for her by the count. During her recent visit to America the society papers dwelt upon her changed mein, her sprightly aspect, and

ELBOW SLEEVES

Little House Coats of Pique are Worn When the Dress
 is for Street.

Paris, March 15.-The house dress is to of her wardrobe Chat she cheerfully devotes whole days of Lent to its planning. With all patience she stands erect while the soft fabrics are fitted to her ant draped upon her. and again she takes her place in front of the designer while the ribbons are placed and the final touches added to the dress.
 The temptation to say that this year the dresses are prettier than ever before can hardly be resisted, especially as the volu- ble little French dressmaker declares that it is so. In a quick jabber of French, with a word of English thrown in-which is con sldered very smart in Pars-she proves her words by holding up before your eyes whole breadths of lace cloth, yards and yards of skilfully embroidered Oriental silk, quantities of the most delicately tuck ed goods, and, more than all, and in great CT profusion, piece after piece of the fig- ured stuffs which are a revival of the Rom- ney>period
 The long low shoulder is struggling into evidence as shown by the waists, which are cut so low upon the shoulder as to almost bind the arm. The pessimist sees in this return to the days of restricted dress, when a woman could neither lift her arms nor raise her hand above her belt. But the modists laugh merrlly at these fears and explain that the shoulder is cut in such a way that 1t will be as free when the shoulder seam was placed near the collar band

CRONJE AND ST. HELENA
The Famous Island to Which He and
 His Men May be Sent

All that has given the island of St. Hele- ma its fame is the fact that it was there that Napoleon spent the last six years QSl5-1S2D of his life. So long as his name continues to hold the place it does in hu- man history, the little isolated volcanic cone, of AT square miles, with population of barely 1000. will not be permitted to sink into oblivion. The transportation of General Cronje and his men to that lonely place. moro than 1,200 miles from Africa and 800 miles from the nearest island (Ascension), would, of course, serve to add to it new in- terest, and bring it once more into promin- ence.
 St. Helena was discovered in 1902 by a Portuguese explorer, Juan de Nova Cas- tilla. Almost throughout its entire circum- ference of 2S miles the island presents to the eye an unbeaten wall of cliffs varying from 300 to 1000 feet in height. Jamestown, the capital of the island, is built in a ra- vine which has almost vertical sides, the height to the east being called Rupert's Hill, and that to the west Ladder Hill. These two mountains gradually recede from one another until at the sea, where they end in perpendicular cliffs The ra- vine is $50 feet broad This triangular space is about one and a quarter miles long, and is defended by Qualifications at the entrance of the rayine. Ladder Hill gets its name from the steep wooden steps known as Jacobs Ladder, which lead d- neetly 10 US summit, bUO rect III HelSnt.
 One of the chief objects of interest in St. Helena is the house at Longwood in which Napoleon passed his captivity The plateau of Longwood is about 2.0O0 feet above the level of the sea. and bounded by deep ravines. It is on the Rupert Hill side of the ravine. in which Jamestown is built. Here are the long, low buildings in which Napoleon lived and the new house which he did not live to occupy. Here also is Marshal Bertrand's cottage. Napoleon's tomb is in Slane's valley, about mile from Longwood. But the body was removed to France in a man of war by the Prince de Joinville in 1S40, and now lies under the dome of the Hotel des Invaldes in Paris.
 Perhaps the taking of Colonel Cronje and his men to St. Helena would restore to 1t some of it's former prosperity. For some years the island has becn getting deeper and deeper into financial straits. and the population has been steadily diminishing. In 1871 the inhabitants numbered 6.4H ten years later the population was 5,059. while by the census of 1891 1t was only A,116. in- cluding the garrison. According to "The Statesman's Year Book" there are only about 100 births a year and about 75 deaths. However about 200 persons annually emi- grate to the United States, and to South Africa. Cronje and his men would help to bring these numbers up again. It is said that this is one of the most salubrious spots on the face of the earth. and the longevity of those who remain there Is great.
