Graceful Empire Gown.

Soft, clinging fabrics, such as liberty
satin, crepe de chine, Louisine OF silk
yelling are used for the graceful EN-
pire gowns, which are constantly gain
ing favor in the fashion world
The toilet illustrated in the large
drawing is made of mauve silk crepe
with ecru Chantilly lace for trimming.
The upper portion of the deep fitted
yoke is tucked and a broad band OF
lace forms the lower part The neck
is cut square and finished with narrow
lace beading run through with violet
velvet ribbon.
The full skirt is gathered at the up
per edge and arranged on the yoke, a
smooth adjustment being maintained
under the arms.
The crepe falls In long. graceful folds
to the floor and the skirt trains slightly
in.the back. An elaborate lace trim
ming adorns the hem of the gown aud

The sleeves are trimmed with tuck.

Some of the spring shirtwaists are
made with two-inch wide tucks on
each side of the front. These tucks
start from the shoulder seam Just be-
yond the collar and extend to the
centre front. where they lap slightly
beneath the belt. Four tucks trim
the back turning toward the middle Of
the waist, and laid in close to it.
These tucks are covered with machine
stitching in close rows. The cuff is
a narrow band of the silk, machine
stitched.
A good model for slender figure
is a skirt of silk of wool laid in fine
cord tucks to form three Vandyke
points across the front and back of
the waist. The middle tuck is the
longest, with the tucks on each side.

one on each side is reached. In front.

Black Pearls md Lace.

Milliners are making immense use
of lace, says a Paris letter in the Mil
linery Trade Review. Different kinds
of guipure hold their own for cover
ing and shapes, but for draping and
mixing with lisse and tulle Chantilly
carries the day. White Chantilly is
the novelty of the season as applied to
millinery. Black is also in consider
able request. There is likewise third
variety of this lace quite new, white.
with the pattern outlined in black silk.
A slight mixture Of black. with white
or colors, is much affected. Thus,
some of the colored straw hats, not
otherwise trimmed with black, have
the brim lined with deep Chantilly
edging. For the same reason caboch-
ons and pins made of clustered jet
are much in vogue. In some instances
I have seen white and light-tinted
hats and toques fashioned with black
heads. American buyers will carry
back with them numbers of models
ornamented with pearl cabochons, but
they have ben so much worn this win
ter that tickle Paris has already begun
to tire OF them, and will probably hail
the appearance Of the new ornaments.

The rosettes of narrow ribbon with

For The newest marquise rings
single stones, preferably opal or tor
quoise, of appropriate shape are now

Flowered delaine is an old favorite

Lingerie ribbon in delicate shades is
employed for a new style of corset
cover. Insertions of lace alternate
with the stripes of ribbon.
Mohair and brilliantine will be used

equally divided between the colors.

Ties Of white or black satin finished
with lace ends are tied at the front
In bow or four In hand and worn
with black or colored shirtwaists.
An effective trimming for a flannel
blouse is the band of embroidered
linen that has replaced the coarse lace
or taffeta bands SO long familiar.
Lace boleros. embellished with en-
broidered hand-painting, jewels or
spangles. are the accompaniments OF
some of the smartest new gowns for
reception or evening wear. Girdles
and stocks decorated to match arealsc
worn.
Corset hooks and clasps Of solid gold
or silver represent the latest fancy ol
the woman of wealth with extravagani
notions. Occasionally jewels lend an
extra touch Of establishment and the
fasteners are SO made that they may
be transferred from one corset to an
other.

One cf the Late FancIes.

One of fashions latest fancies is the
Gibson waist. which Is especially ef-
fective when developed I'm white or
colored moice. Plain waists Of this
kind show the fabric to splendid ad-
vantage.
The Gibson waist illustrated is made
Of oyster white moire. with tiny black
velvet buttons for decoration. The
foundation is a glove-6tted feather
boned lining which closes in the CEN
ire front.
Broad plcats extend from shoulder
to belt back and front, tapering to-
ward the belt These pleats are the
essential feature Of the Gibson waist.

The Ponauder Ag ain.

The old-fashioned pomander has
come back and is rivalling the vinai-
grette In feminine favor. In its latest
form 1t appears as an exquisite hol-
low filigree ball of gold or silver
swinging from a chain and holding a
tiny sponge soaked in pungent aromat.

tions Of Araby the Blest.
Sometimes the pomanders are elab-
orately jeweled and hung from jew
eled chains, and are worth a small
fortune.
In fact, the possibilities of extrava-
gance offered by the new fad are what
will probably most endear it to the
feminine heart.
The pomanier seems trife out of
place In this day OF athletic and ro-
bust womanhood. 1t belongs to the
time of the frail pale beauties who
tainted early and often and affected a
languishing delicacy of nerves and
sentiment.

London, Feb S.--A dispatch 10 the Pan

the "hrmly routed belief in influential cir
cles is that nothing short OF revolution
is meant by the United Irish league, and
that the advocates of constitutional meth
ods are slowly but surely giving way TO

According 10 the correspondent, Lord

tbefore the junior Constitutional club
leads people 10 hope that the government

rule cannot he killed with kindness and
that IL has become aware OF terrible

The correspondent adds: "frishmen who
have just returned from the United States
aver that no support will be given TO
the Hsloyal cause unless the discussions
and scenes I'm parliament give place TO
something more active I'm Ireland itself"
The American end OF the campaign Is
being run by men Who are all OF the same
mite and rifles. Young Ireland Is be-
ing taught TO believe In the coming storm
and ia openly speak thereof with enthu-
sasm. The policy OF kindness has oon-
Ninced the peasantry that the reign Of

truth, the British statute book il already
suspended, and the court OF the league
is supreme.
