the greater part of the share that should

Already the dressmalsers are sharpening up
their needles and scissors for the fresh veil

them build a long close sleeve caught just
below the turn of the elbow with a fancy

the chief features of the fancy cloth coats

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. January 10. 1901.
Among the pretty straws that show which
way the wind of fashion will blow for next
spring and summer, we wish to record the
promise, almost the certainty, that with
lightweight cloth skirts the proper waist
is one of taffeta, mandarin crepe, thick
satin-fnished foulard in a solid color that
exactly matches the skirt. The waist can
be upholstered with cloth taken from the
goods of which the skirt is made. or lace
will do as well. and to crystalline mental
picture of this a tangible picture of the very
newest creation Is given.
The skirt in this instance is of SATIN faced
cashmere of an alluring tinge called cream
ed coffee, because IL is of that pale golden
tan that good coffee takes when dashed
with genuine country cream. Stitchings
and straps and buttons of gold-colored silk
give delicate and sparkling effect of dec
Grafton to the simple skirt. The waist.
which buttons up in the rear and which is
tucked in tiny outstanding tucks from the
neck to within few inches of the waist
line, is made of creamed coffee-colored man.

roughen them dreadfully. Instead, take
some vaseline lard or Oil and rub it into
the hands. and then wash them thoroughly
with a good toilet soap and a piece of
flannel in warm water. The flannel will
soon clean them and without injuring the
skin in any way. 1t Is far better than a
nailbrush for ordinary use, and, IL used
regularly. nailbrush will be found almost
If not entirely superfiuous. That Is a thing
to be remembered, for the use OF a brush
rcughens the finger tips and nails and
makes them more liable to become soiled
than they need be.

There will be no carpets on the floor,
but beautiful. heavy green rugs for all
the officers whose duties require them to
be seated on the main floor Around tha
raised platform that surrounds the hall
will be carpeted, and will give seating
room for some three hundred guests.
The floor will shine like mirror, and
be left unrestricted for dancing.
There are several artists, members of
the order. who have asked the privilege

height, and has seats of honor on either,
side, for notable guests or others whom
he may wish to honor. The three seats
will form one solid piece of furniture.
and will fill the center archway.
The acoustic properties Of the hall are
excellent. A trial was made the other
day, and pin dropped at one end of
the hall could be heard with perfect dis
tinctness at the other end. The slight
est scratching on wood could be heard
the same way. A whisper will carry
through all the room very clearly.
On the fourth floor will be the ban

joining, to be equipped like hotel IN
