be adapted all along the dress line to the

Mrs. Secretary Hay is quite gorgeous

gown ever made for the capital One
scarce knows how to begin to describe
it, for its appearance was that of a mass
of raised black roses upon a semi-skirt of
black ret. The underskirt was black chif-
Ton with box-pleated fiounce of chiffon

chiffon flounce. Under it all there was a

monds of purple panne with ribbon put on
around the diamonds. The rows of purple
panne diamonds go up the front with a
narrow ribbon outlining each diamond
Large white panne squares are set around
the top Of the undulating founce. The
waist has revers trimmed with purple dia-
molids and the cuffs are trimmed in the
same manner. Then comes an elaborate
arrangement Of folds, which is impossible
to describe.
And. by the way. there is an exquisite
layctte ordered for January. In this lay
ette there are several novel features In

of several sets of tiny clothes, all done in
colors. Pale blue, baby pink. the faintest

One of the Cabinet ladies had an old
gown remodeled for Christmas dinner
dress The affair was a mid-afternoon
one, when evening dress would have been
inappropriate.
The gown was once a navy brown CASH
mere, not in the least poetic and made
less so now by faded spots. and by the sad
look which brown gets after the wind has
played over 1t for a season.
With the fertility of recourse which only
q Cabinet woman can know she took il
and placed a crocheted ornament
upon one side of the skirt to make a long
and remarkably graceful panel Then she
set crocheted silk band around the
skirt at the head of the foot flare or
fiounce.
Her bodice, which is somewhat on the
shirt waist variety, has a double row of
very large buttons set down the front and
the beautifully trimmed panel covers the
utility buttons or the buttons that do the
work of fastening the waist on the figure.

A New Year Fancy.
There is a perfect craze for putting one
trimming over the top Of another. Silk
patches are laid upon cloth, figured gauze
is laid over the silk, and little lace
medallion ornaments the gauze, while
on top of the whole there Is sewed a tiny
bead or the smallest of buttons.
You are safe, If you want to go into
the business Of getting up such trim
ming. in applying lace to anything you
may have and in slipping a bit OF col
ored silk underneath the lace. That Is
the law, something laid underneath and
something laid on top So shall you
achieve success in dress

In the novelties one can look along the

toward it. Many of the gowns are made
In the extreme of princess style, very

The story Of how Mrs. George Wander
bits seamstress committed suicide from
mental depression over the long seams
may not be an overdrawn one.
The tale is that the woman became ner-
vous over the endless task. The seams
were sixty inches long and from couple
Of inches wide at the waist line they had
to be gradually widened to the full width
OF the satin at the end of the train. More
over they had to be put together so care
fully as to look like one piece of goods
In this way Mrs. Vanderbilt was made
to appear very tall. Working too late
one night the woman became depressed
in spirit and at midnight took poison in
despair at the thought Of beginning again
next day.
So intricate are many of the gowns that
more than one woman despairs over them
Not only are they trimmed but they are
embroidered as well. But there is this
comfort, that plainness can be selected.

A Holiday Bargain.
It is a very noticeable fact this year
that the goods are of better quality for
the money than ever before. They do
not pull out or fray nor do they give
at the seams nor lose their shape. The
colors are fast and non-fadable and they
do not seem to wear smooth In spots.

Wis pleasant to know that the Christ
. mas OF the melancholy Czarina was
rendered less melancholy by the
efforts Of an American woman AL
ways fond Of dress. the Czarina has
enjoyed the costumes Of Mrs Char
lerDagne Tower extremely and has ex-
smined with interest the distinctively
American modes.
The gowns which Mrs. Tower took with
keT on her visit 10 Livadia are still the
talk Of St. Petersburg, where they were
msde.
II is whispered, not so very softly, that
the invitation was extended by the Car,
not so much to the ambassador as to his
wife Mrs Tower has a very cheerful
manner and her presence, II was thought,
would act very fsvorably upon the Gar
ina, who is so melancholy. Besides. both
women speak English and there is moth
Ing that so cheers the Czarina as a little
chat in her English tongue.
Mrs Tower wore one gown which was
entirely made Of raised Russian lace.
Queer animals. small evergreen trees and
tirGs OF every description were in the de-
sign. The gown was a white one, lined
with white, and worn with white panne
belt and stock. Pearls were the gems and
a fan OF white feathers was carried to
q pearl chain. The whole was very rich
and certainly nothing could have been
more appropriate for so august a person
age as the wife OF Embassador.
The Czarina dresses mostly In black
and 4 said TO be much OF the time IN

often attacks people OF any station.

The very long deep collar OF those days
seems to strengthen in favor. Not only
are the Tudor collars worn and the Byron
collars. but the long ones. wide and so
arranged that they rleander around the
shoulders and all the way down the front.
Collars of this description certainly retrim
an old waist admirably.
Like Mrs. Gould's Gown.
There lives no woman without plenty Of
old clothes, however skinlp she may be
upon new ones: and for the woman with
q grand asso rtment of the former there
may be quoted gown which was made
for Mrs. George Gould and which did not
suit. 1t was in black, handsome black
cloth, tailored 10 the point Of skin tight
ness and fitted to the back. the hips, the
front and the whole figure except for the
flare around the foot.
The waist was on the French blouse
order with wide sleeves coming in to a
tight cuff There was no trimming, but
only the luster which comes of using the
best of materials and Of making them
well.
But the gown did not suit and so the
modiste, with the patience of her kind,
set to work to improve 1t.
Gettlng a quantity u JAPANESE lnSeI-
tion fine, very fine silky and beautifully
finished, she set strip of it down the
back of the sleeve. The strip reached
from the shoulder right down to the cuff.
Then she put a strip around the hand to
form the cuff itself.
Two strips down each side of the front
fell from the shoulder seams and another
strip made the belt. which was a. dip

and another row just above the first one.
Both were slightly raised at the back
and dipped in the front to give that long
front look without which no woman can
be happy these days.
The skirt was of that sweep length
which is necessary for every modish gown
and the back Is quite trained. This gown
