A lovely black silk and worsted braid
almost covers the entire gown in wide

There is perfect craze on in Gotham
for worsted embroideries, and it is won

simplest gown. But they require to be

SCISSORS Of real Japanese and Chinese
embroideries can not do better than

gowns If they desire to be quite a Ia

On gowns of cloth the Russian and
Bulgarian embroideries are effective,

The quaint bodice was arranged in
folds slashed up on each side over a
bright silk tartan and strappings Of
narrow velvet, the tartan at the back
finishing in two long sash ends, a black
chenille tie dropping from the throat.
Over this gown was worn a dark blue
travelling coat, its deep turnover col

braided with white silk braid and tas-

AS the season advances wraps of all
kinds grow prettier and seem to take on
the elaboration eliminated from gowns.
At the theatres some extremely rich
CONNECTIONS are seen. One particularly
chic has the top part composed Of
heavy Irish lace, representing hood,
and where it falls over the shoulders
there is a band Of sable. From the
shoulders depend plating of rose vel

fles of mousseline outlined in sable.
The low collar is of sable, fur tails fin
ishing off the neck fastening. The en-
tire affair is built on a foundation Of
rose mousse1ine tucked and pulled,
with a ruffle at the hem. Almost every
wrap is trimmed with fur, and the more
expensive the trimming, the smarter
the wrap.

low the waist and accompanied by a

A very dainty conceit for afternoon
wear is an adjustable collar of brown
silk cord passementerie and delicate
rose chenille embroidery fastened with
dangling ornaments and tassels. 1t is
not an expensive detail and completely
transforms q plain waist into a dressy
bodice.
In point of service there is nothing
to equal the tailor made gowns Wheth-
er the material used in it's DEVELOPMENT
be expensive or not, if the dress is car
ried out upon artistic lines, it is apro-
pos for almost any occasion, certainly
for any day function where strict for
malarfcy is not required. Brown, in all
the darker shades, stands in the fore
front of fashionable autumn colorings.
A smart tailor suit made in wood brown
cloth with clinging effect attracted at
tention at a recent matinee. The skirt
was made with a yoke from which de-
pended fine plaits. A panel, made Of
broderie Anglaise, worked in cream
silk on brown taffeta, ran down the
front from the belt to the bottom OF
the skirt. The plaits extended well
over the belt, which was of celery
green taffeta.
Cream cloth formed the collar, on
which there were several rows of the
same colored green bebe ribbon. The
sleeves begun from the neck and at the
elbow were very bouffant, the cuff be-
ing finished off in broderie Anglaise.
1t may seem almost incredible, but it
is nevertheless true, that so much
stress is laid upon the sleeve this sea-
son that it actually makes or mars a
toilette. It's variety has never been
equalled in the history of dress. There
can not really be said to be any change
in the general outline, which is that
the sleeve be tight fitting from shoulder
to elbow, where the graceful bagging
begins, but this is the only feature of
similarity. The fullness below the ell
bow is caught in at the wrist with a
long or short cuff or gauntlet as the
fancy chooses. All sleeves have a most
coquottish air, and they are at the same
time graceful and picturesque, becom-
ing alike to stout and slender figures.

New York Letter: To be well-gowned
this season requires more than money
and taste; it requires genius.
Nothing short of genius will enable a
woman to distinguish between the
many wonderful gowns. shown and Sc
lect those whose style and beauty will
remain proof against the changes OF
the season.
Never were the modes so changeable
as now. Even the tailor-made gown
which at the beginning of the season
showed few traces of the Elton effect
are returning to this feature as trim
ming and the profuse elaboration of adj
vance-autumn frockS has given away to
a simplicity almost girlish.
These youthful creations lose nothing
in cost by their absence of ornamen-
tation, however, for the few touches Of
trimming that are used are selected
from patterns just novel and rare
standard of luxury.
With musicals every afternoon and
matinees sandwiched between the fash
ionable Gothamite finds herself partic-
ularly in need of afternoon frocks and
separate bodiceS just now.
The eccentricities and caprices of
fashion find expression to the full in
the fancy bodices prepared for the sea-
son. The softest, shiniest and most
graceful fancies are employed, because
a material which does not lend itself
to the draperies and folds of the day
finds no favor with ultra-smart women.
Some of the simplest waists have only
a yoke and collar of lace laid over pale
blue, cream of pink crepe de Chine and
the effect is becoming indeed.
Others are trimmed with tuckings, or
bands of velvet ribbon, without any
trace of lace.
There is scarcely any fashion that
holds its own better than the blouse.
This is pretty when it assimilates with
the rest of the dress or has an accom-
panying jacket, but in vivid contrast
to the skirt, the harsh junction line at
the waist is anything but elegant.
There is creeping in most unbecom-
ing fashion of wearing a short jacket
showing a full blouse beneath at the
waist and the sleeve ending above the
elbow and exhibiting only the blouse
the sleeve extending from the elbow to
the wrist. This idea is pretty for demi-
toilette, but unsuitable for out-of-door
wear.
A well-made gown of black and white
taffeta stands out in bold relief in such
company. 1t is cut on the cross with a
soft flouncing at the hem, intermixed

Referring to the fact that Lord Cur
Zon as an Irish peer is still eligible for
membership of the house of commons,
correspondent of the Westminster Ga
zette writes: '-Viscount Valentia is
another Irish peer occupying curious
~ anomalous position. He sits in the
house of commons as member for Ok
ford, in the conservative interest, and
is also one of the Irish nobility who
have not established their claim to vote
in the election of representative Irish
peers in the house of lords Did he es-
tablish this claim, he would apparently
be an elector for a section of the house
of lords while actually sitting In the
commons"

Beers TO HOLD CONFERENCE
MR.. BALFOUR'S STATEMENT BOERS
SAID TO HAVE OPENED
NEGOTIATIONS.
CBy The Associated Press.)

(By The Associated Press)
London April 1S.-The government leader A.
J. Balfour, in the House of Commons to-day,
made the following statement:
After two conferences between Lord Miner.
and Lord Kitchener and the Boer delegates at
Pretoria. Lord Kitchener. while refusing to
grant armistice military grounds, has
agreed to give facilities for the election ard
meeting Of represents tives Of the various Boer
commands to consider the position. The Bocr
leaders have, therefore. left Pretoria to carry
out this plan
Mr.. Balfour added that It not expected
that communication between the British au
thorities and the Boer leaders could be resumed
in less than three weeks time.
The statement made a generally favorable
impression. 1t was argued among the members
Of the House Of Commons that the action of
the Boer leaders demonstrated that. at any rate
ceptance Of the suggested British peace terms
The submission of the question to plebiscite Of
the burghers is according to Boer law, which
requires the leaders Of armed forces in the field
to take the opinion of their followers before con-
GLIDING peace.
1t is officially asserted that the Continental
statements to the effect that the Boer leaders
went TO Pretoria at the suggestion of the British
authorities are absolutely unfounded. The &C
ton Of the Beers was spontaneous and this is
regarded here the best evidence of a genuine
desire to bring about a settlement, and as being
indicative of the character Of the advice which
will be given to the burghers by the leaders who
are now returning to their various commands.

of holding a caucus The caucus was stormy
and it difficult to hold the members Of the
Opposition in check and to prevent them from
