more effective as well as somewhat
newer than either chiffon or the plain
net, is considered quite the proper
thing to use for this purpose. Accord
ing to the latest edict of Dame Fash
ion the one and only correct manner in
which this lace may be used is TO
mount ii over white taffeta silk lin
ing, and when fashioned in this way
the effect is simply stunning.
The thing par excellence for evening
wear is a blouse slightly decollete, made
of white mousseline de sole, cunningly
inserted with strips of finely sequined
black lace; its beauty being further
enhanced by means of a broad folded
girdle of white satin held in place by
any number of tiny jeweled-headed
pins. This waist, with its fine trim
mings of lace and its general air of
daintiness, is charming and desirable
to marked degree; but, alas, like 90
many other things pertaining to the
fashionable wardrobe of the moment,
is so costly in price as to place it quite
beyond the reach of any but the fortu-
nate possessors of full purse.
Tucked taffets silk blouses are more
than ever de rigeur. Within the past
week have seen some very pretty mod
els made in this popular fashion. The
prettiest one, in my opinion, was made
of shimmering white taffeta, closely
tucked, each tiny tuck being outlined
.by mere thread of gold. The chic air
of the waist, however, depended solely
upon the collar, which was made in the
fashionable pointed style, heavily
stitched with gold thread and fastened
to the waist by means of small gold
buttons set in rim of pearl.
Black taffeta silk blouses are ever in
good taste and vastly becoming to the
majority of womankind. They come in
great variety of pretty styles, and
where all are so charming it is rather
difficult matter to pick out one as mer.
| ting description more than another;
yet remember there was one that
struck my particular fancy, both on &C
count of its originality and general
good appearance as well as it's simple
ity of design. 1t was tucked, of course
but in this instance the tucks were
| somewhat wider than any i had ever
seen. The front was slightly pouched

FANCIES OF FASHION.
Biouses and Shirt Waists More
Popular Than Ever Before.
livery Known Material Enters Into
Their CONFERENCE.-The
Models for Afternoon and
Evening Wear.
Especial New York letter.

u S EACH new season advances
IN there is always an absurd ru-
NOR to the effect that fashion
makers have doomed the blouse and its
swim sister the shirt waist to utter OBJ
nvion, but with exactly the same regu-
larity these delightful garments come
20 the front, smiling and serene, and
neautiful as morning in spring.
This season was no exception to pre-
seding ones, only in so far as the ru-
nors were more exaggerated than
usual; but, as if to make the denial
more vigorous and emphatic than ever
Before, both the blouse and shirt come
60 US in glorified form, more beautiful
and fascinating, being artistic and per-
feet down to the smallest detail. Every
known material enters into their
construction, from the cheapest cot
con to the costliest silk, while in de-
Sign and finish they are utterly without
Amit, and the same may be said of their
price. One and all of these late models
are remarkable as much for the novel
originality of their style as for the ex-
Huisite combination of color and deco
ration seen on both day and evening
waists.
The most marked feature in all the
newest blouses is the elaboration, not
20 say business, seen in the sleeves
This fact leads me to think that before
the season is much further advanced
we shall see many exaggerations of the
full pulled sleeve of the moment, but
Let us hope it will be some time before
lovely woman will disfigure her shout
uers and arms by the erstwhile balloon
sleeve.
But to return to the blouse. The
handsomest models brought out this
season, and also the most expensive
ones, are made of fine Chantilly lace
mounted on a foundation of cloth-of-

several rows of the galloon, stitched
down fiat.
Tucked velvet blouses are to be count
ed among the seasons favorites, They
are exceedingly rich and handsome in
appearance, and are the swell thing TO
buy; but IL should ever be borne in
mind that their manifold charms can be
exploited only by the tall. slender wom-
an endowed by kind nature with . slim
waist and a fine figure.
The devotees of the wooden blouse.
and their name Is legion, will find
much TO praise and little to condemn
IN this seasons models. Fashionable
dressmakers are fashioning their
handsomest wool blouses of fine cash
mere, deliberately trimmed with fan
cy galloon Of every kind and descrip-
ton, usually finished with a folded
collar and fiaring cuff Of panne vel
vet black being given the preference.
Many of the handsomest cashmere
blcuses are tucked just az though
made of silk. 1 saw lovely one yes
terday in the new shade of pink, pro-
fusely tucked and trimmed with ouan-
titles of lace. AS there is a distinct
hkihg for dark red, it naturally fol-
lows there are red waists galore.
With the first chilly breath of win
ter our thoughts turn in the direc-
ton OF something cozily warm in the
way of flannel blouses and shirt
waists. AS If to meet this very re-
quirement up-to-date shirtmakers are
turningout some ideal waists fashioned
of silk-fnished flannel. They are made
perfectly plain, the square shoulder
effect being carefully maintained.
while the comfortable fitting coat
sleeve is made to flare a little at the
wrist.
No matter how much money we
spend on our gowns and blouses, II
is in our neckwear that extravaganza
runs riot. One can spend a small for
tune on these fallals of fashions and
at the end of the season have nothing
to show for the expenditure. It takes
lot of pin money to buy one of the
simple creations composed of mousse
line de sole and soft goffered ruf1es
of chiffon, and the same may be writ
ten of the huge ruffle of black accor-
dion plated chiffon edged with os-
trick feathers or fine fur. Tho be-
coming tulle bow has by no means
disappeared, only now it IL of an enor-
nous size. II does not figure. of
course. among the leading novelties of
fashion. but It's becomingness Is so
undeniable that, like the dainty chif-
finn bow, It viii never entirely take its
departure.

NO CHANGE IN STRIKE.

There is no change in the strike of
machinists. The men are standing out
firm, and so far none have applied to
get back the positions left by them a
few days ago. Early this morning it
was talked about the streets that the
strikers would send a committee to con-
fer with Superintendent Hickey Of the
foundry with view of arbitrating the
difficulty between them. This rumor
proved to be without foundation, how
ever. At any rate, at the meeting of
machinists held in Silver hall this fore
noon, no action was taken in that direc-
ton, and one member of the union said
nothing of the kind was proposed. I'VE
are going to hang together until we win
this fight if it takes months to do it,
At the foundry, the foreman of the
machine shop laid off all drill press
hands this forenoon for want of work
for them to do and some of them met
the striking machiniSts at another meet
ing held this afternoon. All other de-
partments are running as usual at the
foundry. The B., A. & p. machinists
have not been called out yet though
members of the union say they are sub
iect to call at any time.
Several machinists are reported to
have left town, but the greater number
of them, of course, are still here using
their influence to win the strike.
