PARIS, March u.-That fashion, like
history, revolves in circles and repeats
itself is more than ever proven by the
latter-day creations of the great coutur-
iers We have had our fill of the lovely
Empire models, which during the past
few seasons held the taste of all fash
ionable women spellbound. There We're
Empire gowns for street and indoor wear.
Empire coats. Empire headgear. Empire
accessories, until from sheer desire to
change, popular taste reyolts and we now
find that. in direct opposition TO the loose
draperies of the Napoleonic era, the tight
lines and dainty chic of the Louis XIV
period have been adopted. Like the En-
pire styles, they are modified, however,
by modern taste and modern require
ments, but that they are faithful to
certain prototypes cannot be gainsaid.
The most notable feature is the little
coat tails which were the first step to-
ward adopting these styles and which
had made their appearance at the end of
the winter. They were then short pieat-
ed affairs attached rather anonymously
to the back of the Eton jacket, the
straws, as it were, which showed the way
the wind blew, but they have developed
more decidedly in the latest models, and
have combined with the revers, and en-
broidered vests and elbows sleeves to
make a characteristic whole.
One Of Doeuiliets most approved mod
els is a fair representative of these latest
fashion tendencies. 1t is of the tailor

Millinery sympathy for the Birds.

The OrnithoIogists' Union has issued a
strong appeal to the public through the
press for funds TO assist 1t in the securing
of game wardens for the protection of
gulls and terms along the American coast,
as well as for other departments of it's
work The appeal finds a conspicuous
place in all the leading newspapers of the
country, some of them using it as leader
in their editorial columns.
It goes without the saying that funds
will be forthcoming in goodly amounts
from those whose sympathies are with
the Ornithologists and the Audubons for
the protection of the birds of North
America The Ornithologists' Union takes
all the credit for the making of the
Lacey bin" a law. They who favored it
must not forget however, says the Mil
linery Trade Review, that had it not
been for the withdrawal of the opposition
Of the Millinery Merchants Protective
Association in return for the acceptance
of it's amendment by Mr., Lacey, the con-
test might have been prolonged, even the
bill defeated. The statements made in
the appeal as regards '.Miiliners agents
sending postal-cards to hunters Offering
the highest prices for bird plumage," is
misleading; IL may have the effect of
producing funds, but ii is a statement
that might have been true a year or two
ago, but at present ii wont stand very
close investigation. ''Mnliners' agents.
If by that term they mean the raw stock
good money for a bird in the bush" or
encourage a defiance OF. law. They will
not jeopardize their good, names or their
business interests for few paitry gulls
or terms, and they have no use for any
thing else that flies in North America,
except such fowl as the naturalists delight
in as food.
The millinery merchants, however, while
unfolding the efforts of these good peo-
pie in protecting our native birds, en-
phatically protest against any interference
with the Importation from other coun-
tries of such piumages as are useful in the
arts" that are pests in the countries
wherefrom obtained and legitimate COM
modify in this country.
These good people are going to extremes
with their notions of bird protection. and
are interfering with commerce. Sooner
or later they will run against a snaG in
this business and make themselves ridicu-
lous.

Mannerisns.

Self-consciousness is often a barrier to
popularity in social life, and it is a NAL
ady from which some girls suffer Not
everyone can be graceful and easy, but
one can be self-confident without being
self-assertfve. serene and dignifed with
out being dull. Morbid fears as to what
others are thinking, and over-anxiety as
to ones appearance, may be overcome.
Little nervous mannerisms, a lack of re-
pose. consciousness of ones clothes, are
all bad form, and to be avoided, says the
"Delineator." One of the most carefully
dressed, as well as attractive, women /
ever met had been required in her girl
hood. by her mother. to attend scrupu-
lously to every detail of her toilet, and
then to think no more about it after
leaving her room. No touches to hair
and drawing on of gloves were permitted
after she had left her bedroom. If these
apparently trifling matters had been neg
Iected, she was obliged to return to her
room to attend to them. For this early
training which seemed irksOme at the
time she never ceased to be thankful
when she grew older. She acquired ex-
treme neatness in her personal appear
ance and an entire freedom from any
fussy consciousness about il.
No one can make a good impression or
talk agreeably if half absorbed in putting
on gloves, clasping a bangle or a pm, or
arranging stray locks of hair. 1t is a
mark of good breeding to be neatly dress
ed in every detail and never to appear
conscious of ones clothes. Sometimes
one sees a girl in street car drawing
on gloves or adjusting a veil. Even at
the opera one frequently sees an occu-
pant of box buttOning gloves, rearranS-
ing q jewel on q bodice, or touching the
ornaments in the hair These selt-con'
scious manners in public are bad form
and detract from woman 5 charm.

bias trimming on the skirt continues
around the jacket, collar, and reverS, and
alsa3on the turned-over cuff Cf the tight
elbow sleeve of the ecru clcth. Large
silver buckles, set with strass, malk each
scallop on the Jacket.
The tailor toque which accompanies this
gown is a very modern affair, and is
made of a rough tan fancy straw, fash
ioned and bent with becoming undula-
tions. The only trimming consists of rich
fancy pins and a huge rOsette at the
back of each ear, made of fancy straw
and black velvet ribbon. These rosettes
or cabochons are a feature Of the new
spring millinery, though a certain chic
about it cannot be decried.
1t is evident that the independent blouse
or bodice has a firmer hold upon us than
ever. in spite Of the hue and cry of it's
enemies, whoever they may be. for the
shops are full of the daintiest models
more at new and graceful effects than
at richness Of materials, with the result
that the lovely models are accessible to
the home dreSsmaker also, though her
purse may be slender; refined taste and
deft fingers being all that is required to
make up a beautiful bodice out of rem
nantS of silk or lace. There seems to be
great preference for yokes this season
and a very practical predispOsition it IS.
Bits of lace can be utilized for the square,
round and pointed "empiecement" now so
much in vogue, and as they may be un-
lined they will be found very cOmforta-
hle for the impending warm season. Be
low the yoke the bodice is bloused and
may be encircled by dainty fichu draper
les of sheer fabrics or unfinished with
one of the many varieties of bOlero eff
feCtS, (which promise to continue in
unabated popularity during many months
to come. FELIX FOURNERY.

Origin of the skirt Dance.

The woman who invented the skirt
dance seems to have been more famous
than anybody supposed 1t was no less
a person, says the Cincinnati Enquirer" "
than Emma Hart, of London. Lord Mel
sons Lady Hamilton. That is the pers9I
Francisque Sarcey has selected as the
real originator of the dance which in its
somewhat degenerated and present estate
is largely matter of calcium lights and
dress goods. \ letter which N Sarcey
quoted was written by Goethe, and de-
scrfbes what the French critic takes to
be the origin OF the dance The famous
German wrote in March, 1871
Sir William Hamilton. who is still the
British Ambassador here. after having
studied the works of nature for so long q
time. has found a beautiful young woman
the most delightful thing in art or nature.
She is an English woman, very beautiful
in face and figure. She gives an enter

Her hair hangs loose. She takes two

Of the same shade The front gore of
cloth Stimulates narrow tablier and is
bordered on both sides by two shaped
panels of ecru silk richly brocaded in
delicate floral patterns, which are out
lined and embeliished by hand with fine
imitation of the famous silks woven in
the Louis XIV period The back is in
habit form above, and falls below in
graceful ripples. 1t is in one piece, and
the cloth is naturally cut bias. The skirt
is quite long in spite of the cry against
lengthy promenade skirts, and it's wide
flare does not differ in shape from those
worn last season. The pointed indenta-
tions trimming the sides are edged with
three rows of narrow black taffeta bias
bands, which extend also round the hem.
The Jacket is a complement to the
style prescribed by the skirt. IT is of the
same ecru cloth and follows closely the
