Christmas at the lunch hour in one of the
most popular Fifth avenue restaurants.
Three women entered ard took a table
reserved for them. All three were elab-
oratcly and conspicuously dressed. and
each costume struck the extreme note.
One gown was Of very shaggy red zibelne.
Two were of handsome velvet. All of the
skirts were full all Of the sleeves had flow
ing mousseine frils, all of the hats had
sweeping pumes and gold ornaments;
bu, the furs were the feature Of the cos =
tunes.
one woman wore broad stole. reaching
to the hem of her gown in the front made
of cvet with inset bands of seal, and she
carried a huge muff to match. A second
had broad scarf and muf Of mole skin
and ermine sewn together in an intricate
design and in very smaii E.eces. and the
third woman had stole and muff of baby
lamb over whose whole surface were inset
narrow pointed lines of miniver.
Upon he heels of the two came two young
matrons, who are sisters-in- law and in
the front rank of fashion, ,'and the contrast
between the two expensively dressed groups
pointed n moral for any rational onlooker.
The later arrivals were nothing con-
spcuous, yet even the casual observer
would have recognized that they were
perfectly dressed,
one was all in brown-a walking skirt

boleros of Persian lamb, seal, nolcskin,
caracul, chnchilla and other short haired
furs ornamented by touches of embroid-
cred velvet, gold gallon and heavy lace,
were numerous and were distinctly the
most effective of the fur coats.
A hint of ermine was introduced upon
a large percentage of these little coats,
| and in some cases the coat was made quite
| plain and collarleSs and an elaborate little
| cravat and the sleeve trimmings were
adj able. Elnbro idered waistcoatS have
| been accepted as correct accessories for
| these fur coats, and belts of suede, em
| broidered and jewel studded, appear upon
many of the boleros.
Often the waiStcoat and high embroid-
cred girdle are adjusted upon an inner
| lining or separate satin waistcoat, over
which the fur bolcro falls loosely, not
| reaching to the waist line.

MEASLES IN THE PALACE.
The Evil That Foreign Machinery 1nficte ed
Upon the Imperial Family OF China.

China has just degraded Chang vi,
one of its officials, for transferring the
Kaiping coal mines to British control. The
unfortunate man has also been informed
that he will be further punished unless he
brings the kaiping mines under Chinese
rol again within two months.
This calls to mind the time when the
Pekln Government was in stats OF panic
over the kaiping mines. fearing that they
might involve the reigning dynasty of the
empire in terrible evil.
1t was in the sos, and China was very
suspicious of everything foreign. The Gov
ernment had become convinced that some
kind of machinery used in European coal
mining was worth importing for the
Kaiping mines. The machinery was in
troduced Europeans were hired to run
it, and the coal output was greatly in
creased. Five thousand tons had been
raised for shipment when suddenly an
order came from the Pekin authorities
to close the mines at once.
This precipitate action was taken to nip
an evil influence which had developed in
the Emperors palace, whose inmates were
in great disnay. The Public Censor had
bought about this unpleasant situation by
a memorial winch he had presented TO the
Throne.
He said it was his melancholy duty to
report tnat the galleries which had been
opened in the Kaiping mines by the
foreigners, and the smoke and noise of the
foreign machinery. had disturbed the repose
of the earth dragon. In venting his dis
pleasure the dragon, in turn, had vexed
the spirit OF the Empress who had died some
months earlier and had been buried about
100 miles away from the mines
The spirit of the departed princess was
j,lstifiably angry and had taken prompt
vengeance by affecting several members
of tho imperial household with the measles.
There was no loubt that this calamity
was distinctly traceable to the wicked
proceedings at tne coal mines.
Coal mining was therefore suspended and
it. was no, until the measles disappeared
from the imperial household that calmness
again prevailed and the reopenng of the
mines was authorized. But years elapsed
before machinery was again employed.
Only half generation has passed, but
things have been moving, though slowly,
in China. The Government that once closed
the mines is now desirous to keep them,
machinery and all, under it, control

| Another dainty and picturesque high
necked dinner frock ia made in white tulle,
| and on the full skirt are graduated ruches
of the tulle, the three lowest being wide
enough to allow line of ermine running
through the middle.
The full girdlet bodice is ruchcd and has
stole of heavy lace falling in tabs in the
front and over the sleeves. A little guimpe
and mitten underseeves are of fine valenS
ciennes, but the heavy lace appears again
in the high collar.
Tulle in many shades Of yellow or of pink,
one thickness over another, is selected
for many evening frocks, and the shaded

often the only trimming OF the skirt They
look more like shaped fiat frills than tucks
and, in fact, are often cut separately and
set on.
Occasionally one sees them edged with
very narrow silk fringe of the Tom Thumb
variety in the color of the material. Fringe
of all kinds finds a place upon the new
gowns and chenille fringe plays a promi-
nent part in the making of the new fur
pieces,
One of the late ideas is the use of deep
silk fringe with broad knotted beading
as dress trimming, in combination with a
band trimming of knotted silk matching
the beading of the fringe. This combi-
nation is usually made to order, and fringe
and band should match perfectly in color
the material upon which they are to be
used.
The prevailing taste for costumes all
in one tone or in shading of one color gives
decided elegance and refinement to the
modes Of the moment; and when gorgeous
color schemes are essayed they are very
properly reserved for full evening toilet
or the picturesque and informal tea
gown.
The palette robes are exceptions to the
rule, but even here one usually finds the
one color idea carried out, II with some
what startling brilliancy
The leaning toward deep tones and rich
dark hues is very noticeable in Paris, and
where last winter the light pastel hues
were the predominating colors at every
daytime function, one now finds worn
rich browns. green's. blues, reds, dahlia
and deep mauve shades and subdued
grays.

Flat surplice pieces of real lace in the
heavier varieties appear upon many of the
new evening bodices, bordering N-shaped

and tapers toward the points and this shape
is newer and more desirable than the cape

Young Americans Born In Massachusetls
BosroN, Mass, Dec. 2o.-Massachusetts
is facing the alarming fact that while there
was big increase in the number of mar
rages in 1902, the birth rate has fallen off
so notceably that Sweden and France
are now the only countries where fewer
children are born per thousand of the in
habitants than in the Bay State. The news
is found in the sixty-first annual report OF
Births, Marriages and Deaths in Massa-
chusetts,' published by the Secretary of
State and edited by DR.. Francis A, Harris.
one Of the medical examiners in Suffolk
county.
1t is also brought out that the children
Of foreign born mothers largely exceed
those of native Massachusetts women,
there being an increase yearly in the little
ones of the former and decrease in the
births among the American born women.
DR.. Harris says:
"The birth rate for 1902 is the lowest
since 1879 and a decrease of 40 per cent.
from the previous year. Doubtless eco
nomic conditions OF the population have
an influential effect on the number Of births
by increasing or decreasing the number
of marriages, but TO what extent it is diff
cult to determine. In the number Of births
the children OF the foreign born mother
are largely in excess over the native"
"The average birth rate for 1S49-bs was
SO. 20 per cent for native born living births
and 40. .04 for foreign; the average of 1850 80,
the native 48,08 and 1850 foreign; the aver
age of ls89-73 was 4054 for the native and
4S4s for foreign 1s74-7S, average 40.j2

foreign In 1890, the percentage Of native

The number OF marriages registered in
Massachusetts in 1902 was % ,GS5, which was
1914 more than in 1901, and ,3i3 more than
in 1900, and greater than in any wear since
the beginning of registration, The mum
ber Of persons married for each 900 Of the
estimated population was l74s, so that the
number of marriages to each 900 was S7i
The marriage rate. as calculated from l'o
estimated population, was oil less than
the average rate for the decade 1881 1908,
but the number of persons married VA,
greater than in any year since 1850.
Some singular facts are brought oii IN
the report. In the town Of New Ashf"i
there was neither marriage, birth nor death.
Gosnold, Marthas Vineyard town, nearly
equalled this record, having neither mar
riage nor a death, but it did have one birth.
In Gay Head there was one marriage, one
