CHINESE ROBES TO BE WORN.

Chinese as well as Japanese house
gowns are to be worn this winter, and
the former are even more splendid in
color and workmanship than the latter.
The Chinese robe has not the fulness
or soft grace of the kirnona, but it is a
very effective garment. A fine specimen
OF the Chinese robe is of mandarin pink
satin bordered with black. The black is
embroidered with the brightest and most
varied flowers and leaves in fine, fiat
typically Chinese embroidery. The
garment falls to the feet from a square
cut neck. The front is plain and fiat and
is buttoned on the right-hand side by
silken buttons and silken loops. 1t does
not go in at the waist, back or front.
The sides of the skirt are slsshed al
most to the waist.

Among the latest fashions in Jewelry
are sleeve-links in unmatched stones, a
cats-eye and a sapphire, OF topazes in
pink and yellow. The stones are round
and high in shape. An odd set Is OF
four scarabs, each cut in a different
store-bloodstone, carnelian, agate and
.chalcedony. Another set is of baroque
pearls of irregular shape. Flexible brace
lets are a popular fashion. These are
in narrow strings of brilliants or Mexi-
can opals, heart-shaped sapphires, tiny
square-cut emeralds, pearls of various
tints, or single chains of gold showing
at intervals balls of jade or turquoise.
Amethyst or turqoise hat-pins are fav-
orites. Baroque pearls, moonstones and
agates are much used for stick pins.
Black ~marguerites with gold centres,
and other small flowers are
pretty and unique.

PARTISAN WAYS.

An interesting, if invisible. feature OF
every important Paris shop or dress
makers establishment is the black book,
wherein are recorded the names of all
bad, doubtful, reckless or insolvent
clients.
A lady who arrives in the establish
ment for the first time is the object of a
rapid study from a personal and fnan-
sial standpoint. While an elegant, tact
full, golden voiced creature is taking
madames measure or consulting her
wishes as to material, style and price.
another elegant creature is quietly
studying the black book to discover
whether the new client is mentioned
therein. IF not, so much the better.
IL she is, then the authorities
employ all their interests without
wounding the delicate susceptibilities OF
. client who may prove a profitable one
after all.
These big establishments send many
samples by mail and to this system we
owe that delicious fabric-miroir velvet.
A sample of ordinary velvet was once
sent in a registered letter. An irate
employee stamped it with such vicious
energy that he crushed a portion of the
fabric, causing it to assume an unusual
~brilliancy. A manufacturers, obeying an
impulse of genius, made some velvet in
imitation OF this crushed variety. He
called it miroir velvet. 1t caused a
-~furore, and he made money.

SUGGESTIONS FOR BABY'S
WARDROBE.

The baby's first cloak is usually made
OF Bedford cord, or cashmere, cream
white in color, says Motherhood. The
more delicate shades soil as quickly as
white, and do not look as we'll after
they are cleaned. The cape is usually
short, and may consist of double ruff
files of embroidery, being little more
than an enlarged collar. The more ex-
pensive cloaks are made of ~benga1ine,
or fallle silk, with a small collar, and
deeply tucked, rufae edged, with silk
sleeves, as these may be folded in and
not used while the baby is very young,
and are ready to use later.
The first flannel skirts are often cut
in princess shape, without sleeves, and
opening on the shoulders, where they
are buttoned. They are finished with a
narrow hem at the neck and armholes,
and neatly feather stitched. The bot
tom may be worked in the same way.
or have a wider hem, and two or three
rows of feather stitching above it.
Sometimes all the edges are scalloped
and worked in buttonhole stitch, with
embroidery silk.
The materials used for a baby's first
short dresses are nainsook, French lawn
and dimity. If it is desired to use COL
ored dresses after the child is one year
old, percale in fancy stripes, pink, blue,
or a delicate green may be chosen, of
the same material in a plain color trim
med with ruf1es of Hamburg edging.:
The ordinary measurement for short
dresses for babies six months old is
twenty-one inches in length, the sleeve
measuring six and a half inches on the
inside seam; for one year old, twenty
inches in length, sleeve seven inches ;
for two years old. length, twenty-one
inches, sleeve, eight inches; for three
years old, length, twenty-five inches,
sleeve nine inches.
The first short flannel skirts are made
waists, if no underwaist is worn.
Should a separate waist be used, both
flannel and cambria skirts are made to
button to it.

70 TAKE CARE OF THE SKIN.

Although a good skin and a clear com.
plexion are SO universally admired, it is
a curious fact that very few people de.
vote the slightest attention to their cul.
ture. The appearance of the skin de.
ponds, of course, to a very large extent
upon the condition of the system-that
IS to say, no person who is in a really
debilitated state of health, suffering
from chronic dyspepsia, torpidity of the
liver, or other internal disorder, can
have a clear, healthy skin. On the other
hand, many healthy people possess dull,
sallow, pimpled, rough or coarse skins.
sometimes through hereditary tenden-
cies, but more often than not from sheer
carelessness in the treatment of this
delicate organism.
Perfect cleanliness is essential to a
beautiful skin, but in order to keep the
skin of the face in a healthy condition,
it is not necessary to give it the same
amount of rough usage which the coar-
ser and less sensitive skin on other parts
of the body can bear. Hard water,
strong soap and vigorous friction with
a rough towel are not suitable appli-
ances for the face, and if you value a
good complexion you will be careful to
perform your facial additions with due
Difference and respect to the delicate
construction of the cuticle in this re-
gion.
Pure air, physical exercise and daily
bathing are all essentials toward perfect
health, not only of the interior of the
body, but OF its outer covering. I am of
opinion, however, that the wholesale re-
commentator of cold bathing has done
much harm. On the very robust the
sudden shock to the nerves and muscles,
causing immediate contractions, may
have a tonic effect, but few persons can
stand violent physical shocks of this
nature. II you have determined to adopt
the cold bathing system, begin by a near
ly warm bath, and every day slightly
reduce the temperature until you have
brought it down to a cold point. A
healthy glow after a cold bath shows
that its effects have been beneficial, and
that sufficient stimulus has been given
to the heart and blood to excite their
vigorous and healthy action. If, on the
contrary, the body remains cold and the
skin looks of a blueish tinge, the shock
has been too severe and has had a para
lying effect upon the heart and vessels,
and numb1ess and loss of vitality e1sue.
In every case vigorous friction with
rough towels should always follow a
cold bath.-The Lady.
