Nice Ways to Serve Oysters.

The oyster season Is now in full swing.
The suppers after the theater, which are
now so much in vogue generally consist

PARIS, January 8, 1903
I have Just come back from the gay Riv-
iera capital, where all Paris seemed to be
assembled. Nice. always smart and fas-
chatting was looking her best There was
much life and movement of well-horsed
vehicles and Of the ubiquitous motor car
under her noble avenues of trees. wherein
the russell foliage still hung. The shops
to rival which one must seek the Rue de ia
Paix, were dazzling with beautiful wares
They seemed to display the wealth of Col
conda in jewels, furs. dresses. hats. art Gu
rios and lace. The flower shops were in
toxcatlng with scent and color from myr-
lads of roses, lilies, violets and other
blooms. The new golf links just completed
will prove of immense added interest to
Nice The links and greens are first-rate
and command a splendid view of snow
capped mountains and the sunlit bay. A
good winter program was shown at the
opera house, and smart men and women
are to be seen there every night, going
later to the casino and fashiona BILE restau-
rants.
Every morning the promenades are
thronged with stunningly gowned pedes-

the simple, old-fashioned mode Of locomo-
ton. Is now considered the great remedy
for the evils accompanying a superabun-
dance of flesh. In other words. we are rec
commended to walk, and to walk fast, II we
would retain our slim figures. And the
costume required to aid us In our unaccus-
toned exercise needs due consideration.
We must discard the fur-lined suit, as it Is
not within reach of all, and speak Of prac-
teal possibilities. We will leave aside the

/ mise. 1t must just escape the boot and be

touch of color in the hat and in the lining

An Astrakhan Blouse.
/ The newest coat seen was the astrakhan
blouse bolero slightly pouched over a band
Iof black velvet at the waist. 1t has no
collar, but the neck Is outlined with a black
velvet band embroidered in red and dark
green silks. The same band finishes the
wide bishop sleeve, and the style Is very
good. With an astrakhan blouse and a
shah of Persia hat one has toilet which
makes life worth living and will be correct
for walking anywhere. For theater and
restaurant dining the high neck gown is
now worn, but in its material and general
fashioning the difference between this and

materials for dinner dresses are SILK, satin

several gowns composed Of lighter fabrics
Black is always smart, particularly when
relieved with a wide bertha and trimmings
of good lace.
In most Instances gowns are adorned with
several different kinds of lace, possibly
Irish crochet, f,let and gu;pure. Girls lock
charming in black. provided they are not
too thin. Always remember that black ac-
centuates thinness. White Is also trying.
In these matters you must use your own
discretion. Most CT us. on limited dress
allowance. have to invest in one black frock,
whether 1t suits us or not simply because 1t
is SO useful for a hundred and one coca
sions. 1t always looks smart, and In 1t one
never appears overdressed. Chiffon wolfe
is the new fabric for ball gowns and will be
much used this year. It has the airy, fairy
appearance of chiffon and yet possesses ad
mirable wearing qualities. The GAUGES and
crepe de chimes which will probably be Of
fered during the sales this month at about
half the usual price are admirable for small
dinner and dancing gowns. If girl has
a good maid, graceful figure, wears the
right corset and knows how to put her
clothes on. she ought to be able to make
charming little frocks at home at q small

When All Are Young.
Baby bodices are very becoming and easy
to construct. They look well only on young
girls, but the pity of 1t Is that every girl
thinks she Is young. They depend chiefly
for their success upon piece of good lace
and properly adjus ed waistband or sash.

over properly adjusted corsets. Speaking
of the latter. the corset Of today seems to
consist Of nothing but a few strands OF rib
bon. assure you there Is more than
meets the eve and never was this gar
ment more difficult to make. There are
certain things which every woman who
wishes to be we'll dressed should spend a
certain amount of time on-namely, her
corsets. headgear and boots. Once she has
these important accessories correct she will
find 1t wonderfully easy to appear well
dressed. 1t was quite another matter in
the days of tightly boned bOdices, but now
a graceful and elegant figure can wear the
simplest stuffs and designs, looking better
in them than many women do in a French
model frock.
White will be just as popular on the
Riviera as 1t has been in Paris. do not
advise the wearing of white simply because
1t is fashionable. It is expensive and in
a great many cases unbecoming. If 1t is
beautifully carried out and suited to the
W arer it Is charming; otherwise white hats
and coats are hardly the thing to do
service for street wear. Such extrava-
gances should be relegated entirely to those
who are fortunate enough to own car

A New Idea for Cloth Gowns.

Perhaps the newest Idea of the moment
is to have cloth gowns yelled with chiffon
and trimmed with fur. For example. a
soft brown with blush bloom on 1t yelled
with chiffon the exact color OF the mole
skin which trimmed 1t, the upper skirt Of
diaphanous material gathered to fit closely
to the hips and then springing away and
widening out at the feet, finished off with
strappings of the fur, the bodice softly
draped with a picturesque collar Of ecru
lace and velvet, the bolero entirely of mole
skin most charmingly fashioned, with nun

Chinese Fans.

The fan is distinctly national insti-
tuition of the Chinese, but it Is almost az
difficult to trace back the date when it was
introduced into the country as 1t is to as
certain exactly when China first enjoyed
the morning light Of her peculiar yet won
drous civilization. One authority states
that the Emperor Hsien Yuan. who as
cended the throne about 2700 B. c.. was
the monarch responsible for the introduce
ton Of the fan into China.

real fun began. They wrestled and

sphere was behind the goal line Of
the Upshur county contingent, and
the first touch down had been de-
clared. An attempt to kick the
goal failed, and the first half ended
with the score FIVE to nixy In favor
of the Buckeyes.
In the second half, the game was

On Saturday afternoon, notwith-
standing the cold air aud raw winds,
several hundred people braved the
elements and wei d=d their way to
the ball park to see the foot ball
game between the Muskingum Col
lege, Of New Concord, Ohio, and
the West Virginia Summary, of
Buchanan, W. Va. The large
ground had been measured of and
divided into squares by the proper
officials In tn forenoon, and at first
glance looked like an I'M nse check
er board. At either end were two
upright posts with a bar connecting G
them about ten feet from the
ground. On the grounds were some
thirty husky looking, bareheaded,
brorz=d and padded young glad
iators, eager for the struggle. And
1t came right on the hour.
The West Virginia lads scattered
themselves over their portion of the
field, and the Ohio boys lined up at
the center. One of the Buckeye
kickers took chance at the sphere,
and 1t sailed through the air
toward the West Virginia goal.
Then the fun commenced. One of
