SMART T0ILETTES.

In New York smartest dresses of
every description are being constructed
for the various Southern tours and a.
glimpse into one of the dressmaking
establishments which caters to swell
patronage is enough to bewilder the
most conservative of sartorial minds.
A description of only one dinner gown
just completed-and there are many
more-will emprasize the truth of this
statement The dress in question will
be seen at Aiken's, within a few weeks.
1t is in palest grey satin yelled with
grey gauze, the latter showing tiny
figures in black, in shape like the links
of a chain, scattered at regular inter-
walls, say, an inch apart, over it,
The skirt is plain from the V-shaped
belt to within sixteen inches of the
floor. The lower knife plated flounce
is of gauze, edged with a rose ruch-
ing of the same, and above this falls
another fiounce-each of these flounces
being twelve inches deep of gauze, with
appliques of sprays of white lace and
black lines. The yoke and elbow
sleeves are of grey gauze, unlined.
trimmed with the lace appliques which
start from the bust line, where the yoke
ends, and slant up and in at the neck,
finished by straight plain stock of
gauze relieved by three rows of sill
yer spangles and fastened in the back
by bow of white tulle. Two narrow
frills of grey gauze with tiny appliques
in black and white finished at the yoke
at the bust line and across the back and
the elbow sleeves, have the same style
frills only wider

TO STUDY DRESSMAKING.
Miss Finnegan's PhiIanthrOpic Offer
to Sewing Women.


to Sewing Women.
A new enterprise, and one that is full
of philanthropic purpose, is the free
course in high class dress making
which is being offered by Miss M. ID
Finnigan to the sewing girls of Savan-
nah. Miss Finnigan, who has lately
made her home here, is herself an ac4
complished designer and modiste. Sh4
has had especial advantages in study !
ing in New York, and in Paris where
she was for time in the work rooms
of NJ. Felix, and other Partisan art
istes.
Miss Finnigan has found in Savan-
nah a deplorable lack Of skill and good
workmanship among sewing women,
and her desire is to give them the ad-
vantages of her knowledge, and exper-
fence. Ignorance is the key to poverty,
and poverty and incompetency the keys
to degradation and crime she thinks.
There is so much theory as to what
the poorer classes might accomplish,
yet so little is done to educate and
train their fingers and brains.
Il am not complaining for the
poorer people," said Miss Finnigan, Il
simply wish to say a word in their be-
half. All that they seek is an even
chance, fair play. Give them the OPP
portunity to learn, the skill to do well
what they profess to do, and they need
have nothing to fear from competition.
Time, money and opportunity is needed
to educate and train that skill, but in
small way many of us can help them
to helm Themselves -
Miss Finnigans sympathy and I'M
Outstanding for the poorer classes OF
both white and black, is a deep one
and she proposes to give a course OF
instruction whereby a class of them
may be enabled not only to earn a
good living, but to give satisfaction to
their employers by superior workman
snip. She maintains that the dress
maker who takes pride in her work
Should feel the interest of her customer
at heart, and to bring into her own
work pleasure instead of mere drudg-
cry.
All young women who wish TO take
advantage of her generous offer can
call to make arrangements to join the
class between the hours of l and ?
o'clock, Wednesday, at her home, ia
Oglethorpe avenue, east. There will be
two classes, one for white and one for
colored women.
