English Orders for Women.
What a proud thing it must be to be
Mrs. Corvallis West and have the
enviable consciousness of having had
more honors conferred on her than
any other woman; that is, than any
other American woman, for these pref
ty little decorations have only lately
been offered. 1t is the boast of her
friends that Mrs Cornwallis-We is
entitled to wear the order of the
Crown of India, the Royal Red Cross
and the order of st. John of Jerusa-
lem (the latter seems inappropriate to
woman. The only American wom-
en- to wear the Imperial order of the
Crown of India is Lady Curzon. The
queen is the head of this order. and it
is very select indeed, and also quite
beautiful. The insignia consists of
Vlctoria's cipher in diamonds, pearls
and turquoises, encircled by a border
OF pearls and headed by very small
Jeweled and enameled crown, fastened
10 a bow of light blue watered ribbon
with narrow white edge. The I'm
perial order of the Crown of India
celebrated Victorias adoption of the
title OF empress. The Royal order of
Victoria and Albert was founded by
Victoria in 1862, and the Royal Red
Cross, given as recognition of the
services OF those who nursed the sick
In the army corps in 1888. The dec
grafton of the order of Victoria and
Albert cit has four classes) consists
for the first and second classes of a.
medallion of Victoria and Albert ct in
diamonds and surmounted by a
Jeweled crown, the whole depending
from white moire ribbon. The third
class had the medallion bordered by
pearls, and the fourth class has only
the initials V and A, enclrcled in
pearls. The expresses of Germany
and Russia belong to this order, as do
the queens of Rumania and the Meth
erlands, and many noble women. The
order of st. John is the oldest of
these decorations, dating back to the
18th century 1t is great thing to be
decorated, and is generally as little
deserved as the degrees so literally
bestowed on socalled great men.
Helps for Dressmakers.
From McCall's Bazar.-Sleeves and
trimmings are now the two most i'm
portant points in the making of cos
tunes, and We are seeing daily new
creations in these lines. In the cut of
the skirt there is but little difference
from that of last year, except that the

Among the latest importations is
black and white silk gown with
skirt tucked four times at the hem
