Another thing that one finds in the
fashion world of Paris just now is
many gowns copied from famous pic
lures in the Partisan salons. There
is rage for these copied models that
is sending every fashionable dress
maker to the picture galleries to study
the styles of past years, and is adding
a new interest to the world of art. 1t
is not an unusual thing to find half
dozen fashionable women studying the
same picture for the purpose of judg-
ing of the adaptability of the gowns
shown in it to their own needs.
One of these late model picture gar
ments is a coat of black velvet that
may be worn either with or without
the extra ee-quarter-length skirt.
The velvet is cut out in large scroll
design, revealing underneath cream
broadcloth with satin finish. Black
silk braid outlines the scroll pattern
on the broadcloth. Around the Me-
dici collar and down the front of the
coat is cream Battenberg lace APP
plique. A deep belt of white satin
which covers a series of glove fasten-
ers, to which are attached the different
tails or skirts that are worn with the
coat. 1t has bishop sleeves, reveals
ing the broadcloth below the elbow.
Narrow cuffs trimmed with lace app
plique.
Another of these picture garments,
but one which is not made to change
at the wearer's pleasure, is made Of
bullrush brown velvet, trimmed with
satin in the faintest cafe aulait and
deeper tone of velvet. The grace
full hree-quarter-length skirt is per-
fectly plain, with deep, tight-itting
basque coat. A quaint little collar and
large lapels, deep turn-down cuffs and
pocket laps of satin in a cafe aulait
tone. On the satin are numerous
straps of a deeper tone of velvet, each
one fastened with small cut steel
button, and finished with mellow
toned lace. A very full and deep frill
of lace falls over the hand.
For gown on the order of the pic
ture model gowns one that is espe-
cially attractive is patterned evening
affair of fresh pink crepe de chine,
scattered over with silver paillettes.
1t is made a princess, with a square
decollette. Down the front is a design
of curving ostrich feathers embroi.

their cost adds more than tiny sum

reason for the change is that for a

to-day among the So treaty cities some

ferry. the man ordered Reilly to pro-
coed to Il low grogshop OH South street.
Here he entered, returning in few
minutes to invite the cabn1an to take
a drink with him. The men seated
themselves at a table upon which a
bottle and two filled glasses were al
ready placed. Chatham handed one of
these glasses to Reilly, who drank it
and probably many more. At any
events, he remembers nothing further

There are so many of these boas,
