was it Persian? Surely it was Oriental, for
such poems in dull colors exist only in the
Drains of our Far Eastern friends. She had
cut queer-shaped oblongs from white cloth,
outlined them first with black silk braid,
then gold thread. A rude circle was cut
from the center and through this passed
stfip OF cloth having a similar border The
main surface of the oblongs was broken by
diagonal CROSSINGS of green and blue. These
were laid in so closely that they formed satin
stripes which terminated in a series of odd
squares at the narrow sides. These squares
were of rose, green, ivory, with now and
then an outline of black. The white back
ground was not entirely covered. Heavy
Roman silk floss had been used, and this
clever woman pronounced the satisfaction
in the result more than worth the effort.
This six works quite rapidly.
The blue blouse was then undertaken. The
ornaments for this were made in separate
figures. A round mould, broader at one side
than at the other, was first covered with
black velvet, then a fancy, narrow ribbon
passed three times through the center and
across the front face. An oblong, one and
three-quarters by one and quarter inches,
was then cut from the velvet. In one of the
oblong sides were inserted two widths of the
ribbons, fastened together at one edge The
oblong of velvet, tab and ring were then
outlined with a tiny chain of knitted gold
wires. The full length when finished was
Just four inches. The result was quite as
charming and satisfactory as in the other
experiments, so the white crepe waist was
now given full attention. A pretty pattern
of leaf-Shaped medallions in black Brussels
lace had been chosen. These were neatly
sewed on white taffeta and the centers cut
out. The effect was a border of black lace
flowers on white ground. The plain white
center was then embroidered with simple
cluster Of flowers. A rose, white five
petaled blossom and a forget-me-not formed
this dainty bouquet, just the sort of thing
that charmed our colonial grandmOthers
and have been so much affected in our Dolly
Warden" fads.
These medallions when completed were ar
ranged at the corners of the large collar
Stems of the net and lattice work Of the
silks used in the flowers connected them.
The collar itself was Of white taffeta with

were produced in three stitches forming
small diamonds. Square moulds were covered

Odd Bridal Customs.

There used to be a custom Of strewing
went to the church and from the church to
the house.
Suppose the way with fragrant herbs were
strewing,
All things were ready, we to the church were
going,
And now suppose the priest had joined our
hands,
is quaint old verse that refers to this Gus
tom. The Persans introduce tree at their
marriage feasts laden with fruit, and it is
the place Of the guests to try to pluck this
without the bridegroom observing. If sue
cessful they must present the bridal couple
with a gift hundred times the value Of the
object removed In Tuscany brides wear
Jasmine wreaths, and there is legend that
a once reigning grand duke, who at great
expense procured this flower for his own
particular garden, gave orders to his garden
err not to part with any flowers or clippings;
but the gardener, who was in love, took
sprig to his sweetheart as gift. She, being
shrewd, planted it and raised from it several
small plants, which she sold to the dukes
envious neighbors at a great price. In
short time she had saved sufficient money to
enable her lover and herself to marry and
start housekeeping, and so the Tuscans have
saying that "the girl worthy of wearing
the jasmine wreath is rich enough to make
her husband happy"

What the American men have done IN the
capturing of foreign trade the American
women are planning to accomplish in the
sartorial realm. With this modest ambi-
ton some of our American dressmakers
have formed ain organization bearing the
somewhat formidable title of the Dress
makers Protective Association.
They admit the past supremacy of the
European arbiters of modes, but claim that
for several years past the foreign gown
makers have caught up many American
ideas, which they have enlarged and ampl1-
fed and turned to a dozen different uses
American dressmakers go to Paris twice
year, and bring back the models that strike
the note Of change in fashions. From these
creations of Paquin, Doucet, Raudnitz, Cal
lean and others equally famous, the Amer
loan dressmaker gathers the foundation for
ber own CONNECTIONS, and from particularly
effective and becoming line she finds the
motifs for four or five different gowns, each
distinct one from another, yet all having
+ha same source. So beautiful are these
zuor,os ond so original is their style that

Our DrGSS[n0RCrS To Invade
Europe.


As to the second count, 1t is the Unborn
instinct of the European which brings about
such delicate and such daring combinations
of color, such lovely results from apparently
discordant foundations. In this respect the
dressmaker over the water has always ex-
celled.
While it is acknowledged that the Amer
lean dressmakers have made rapid strides,
and that there is great future before them,
Paris still remains the capital of the king
dom of style. The most enthusiastic Amer
lean patriot never is more enthusiastic over
American styles than when she is wearing
some irreproachabe creation from across
the water.
The optimistic American dressmaker be-
lieves, however, that if Europe is ready and
willing to adopt Yankee methods in other
spheres than that of fashion, there is moth
ing in the way of its surrendering to the
American styles but prejudice in favor of
the designers across the water. How far
this is true remains to be seen.
The association has planned and begun a
vigorous campaign. The most prominent
dressmakers of the Western Continent as
sembled in this city recently to attend the
opening exhibition of the association.
Miss Elizabeth Whites the president of the
association, said: I'VE American dress
makers are after the credit which belongs
to our nation, and in order TO give an exhi-
bition of what we have accomplished in the
mast. and show how far along the road to
supremacy we have gone, weGmean to estab-
Iish and equip offices in the fashion centers
across the water. We, shall open branches
in Paris, Vienna and Berlin first, and these
offices will be for the display of American
art in designing and making gowns, and for
the purpose of encouraging Americans to
originate attractive models to compete with
the native ones.
"You see, Europe never has been called
upon before to recognize its Yankee COM
petitors in this line, and we have never
really settled upon fashion center on our
own side of the water. All this, however,
may be changed after we have established
our dresmakers on the Continent, where
their ideas and designs may be nodded by

padour is taken up first and combed straight

hair has a natural inclination to wave, either
to the left or the right side, and this ten

When the first wave has been placed ii

ger Of the free hand, then the second undula-
ton should follow, so that the space between
is in accord with the wave, and this in turn
should be held down with the third finger.
The same method of procedure should be
continued until all four fingers are holding
down undulations, and then, before releas-
ing the fingers, very small wire hairpins
should be employed to fasten close to the
head the series of waves just formed. Usu-
ally this number of undulations will be found
quite sufficient in producing a pretty and
fluffy pompadour, but when very low style
of couture is desired, in order to have these
waves reach all the way back to the knot, it
will be necessary to &c, through the waving

ing a fence like edge decoration. A large
pink silk button filed the center. Loops of
black Roman silk completed the outline OF
the moulds making a perfect harmony with
the lace and embroidery.
White soutache braid may be crossed so
as to form squares and each of these be filled
with a spider web Of many coIors. For
this thread an embroidery needle with the
several colors desired and, keeping perfectly
straight, large web will be made very
quickly.
A coarsely woven braid may be made a
thing of beauty by filling it with diamonds
of loosely made French knots.
Sage green and Indian red broadcloths
will be much used together. Connect them
into one band by any of the simple and re-
heating forms seen so much on Indian bas-
kets. If flowers are desired, square their
edges.
Handsome tabs can be made of broadeloth,
outlined with the narrow silk braid and con-
tanning some geometrical center formed Of
French knots.

The Woman And Her Face.

Once upon a time woman had quarrel
with her features because they made ugly
faces at her when she looked in the glass.
She scolded and scolded, but it all did no
good.
Finally she sat in front of her mirror, and
with rouge, powder and black pencil went
deliberately to work to show her face how
wrong it was, and succeeded.
After time she smiled smile of intense
satisfaction, and her face smiled pleasantly
back at her.
Moral.-It is better to make up than to
continue differences.

gas. 1t made noise, but no light appeared.

Any woman, be she Yankee or Russian,
will buy the gown that is becoming,
whether it was made by American hands or
those of a Hottentot, and therein lies our
hope of success. We intend to make our
gowns so distinctly attractive and so artistic
that our supremacy will come as matter
of course. 1t is our ambition to lead the
world of fashion
