anee solely 10 the colors used for the trim ming Is much the same on all. There are few, but only a few. smart shapes that are covered with the velvet put on plain. The velvet is shirred, puffed or laid In soft pleats, and consequently the effect is far better, much softer and more becoming. one extremely odd and very popular shape has the shirring started at the center of the crown and then drawn in bias folds close to- gether oyer both crown and brlm. This model has one ostrich tip. starting A little to one side, and then so placed that It covers the brim. Another shape has plain spot in the center of the crown. and then the folds start from the center and are draped diagon- ally across, giving somewhat Tam OShan ter appearance as regards the shape. The trimming consists of spray of pink roses, intertwined with green velvet placed at the left side.
 Ostrich feathers. short and long, are just as smart as ever. and trim small and large hats On the colored hats the shading of some of the feathers is most exquisite, md ranges from the palest to the darkest. This Is especially noticeable on the new b.ue vel vet hats, for 1t seems as though there were more shades of blue than any other color. Short tips and long plumes are often com bined on the larger hats. and when there is one long plume around the crown there is often to be seen ten tips inside the brim at the le.t side or just at the back falling over the hair. There Is one most hideous fashion which for the moment is popular, the bunch of tips inside the brim at the left side. the brim at that side being exaggeratedly large. There would seem to be no raison d'etre for

The course of events can never De fore- seen. As the beautiful Queen Marie An toinette of France once sat In her ooudof In the Little Trianon, playing her harp, gift of her husband, King Louis XVI, she certainly did not think that few years later the world would see her being carried to the scaffold by her enraged people As her dainty fingers struck tuncfui chords she did not dream that her property would be spread almost over all the world, and that more than a hundred years after her death thls beloved harp would find resting place In some art collection in country far over the ocean.
 But this Is to be the fate of the beautiful instrument. Marie Antonette's harp Is to be put up for sale in New York.
 The unhappy queen of the revolution pos sessed two harps, both of which were built in the year 17S0 by Jean Henri Noderman, the principal lubricant of harps in France at that time. These two harps, one of which was the property of King Louis XVI. himself and the other of the Queen, were excellent instruments, though unlike in appearance. One had It's arms carved in the same piece as the column of the harp and blooming moose curled round the column, while the other had In quality of arms little gilt pigeon, fixed with tape upon the plateau Of the column.
 After the death of the Queen her posses sions in the Little Trianon were transferred to Versailles, where everything Whs solu pA auction on June 2S, 1794, and the following days. Among them were the two harps. One of them was purchased by noble lady, the Baroness Dorner, whose descendants afterward made present of lt to the instru- mental museum of the Conservatory In Paris.
 The other harp, the Queens favorite in- strument, was to have been sold on the same occasion, but when the time came for 1t to be auctioned of no one could find 1t. Whlther the harp disappeared long remained mys- tery, but 1t was granted a Swedish Maecenas, the governor Of q province. the Count Frederic Adolphus Ulrie Cronstedt, from Stockholm, to discover It's hiding place.
 He found the harp in a garret In one of the little suburbs of Paris-Asneres-while on Journey to the southern countries. He had no occasion to fetch the harp at that

this extraordinary style, yet 1t has been ac- cepted and must needs be chronic.ed, If not recommended.
 Velvet flowers are worn this winter on the velvet and beaver hats. There Is something incongruous about flowers with fur and vel vet and on hats that are essentially wintry in appearance, and yet there is n certain fas cinaton in the very incongruity. Pink roses white roses, yellow roses, all are In fashion. and lot of other flowers. espe- cially those with long. loose petals not per haps 10 be found In any floral catalogue. but none the less effective. On the purple and red velvet hats these fowersare most effec- tive of all, and with most exquisite shading of colors.
 Beaver hats. trimmed with cocks feathers to match, are most charming. and are worn with the rough cloth costumes There are n few exceedingly smnrt shapes In rough beaver trimmed with ostrich feathers that are considered suitable to wear with the elaborate cloth or velvet costumes, and the smartest are faced with white cloth. One such hat has for its only trimming instead ' of the white ostrich feather around the crown. wreath of white roses.
 No vell-balanced woman can keep from being interested In the details of dress, and this winter the subject is more than usually Interesting on account of the very diverse fashions that have received the sanction of fashions faithful followers. Never before was there known such luxury, such lavish display of gorgeous materials and trim mings, and, at the same time, never have there been so many charmingly simple and dainty designs to choose from.

Lace Is just as fashionable as ever, and the more expensive the more fashionable Is 1t considered, and yet there are gowns, and smart ones, too. made up without n particle of lace or even of embroidery, and which are extremely effective. owing to the quiet elegance of the design the perfect fit and finish of the gown.
 For young girls 1t is thought far better style to wear these simpler fashions but there are some among the older women who include the same models in their winters wardrobe These arc with high and low gowns, made up In these simple styles: but ns a rule the low gowns for evening wear are the more satisfactory of the two. the latter somehow being almost exaggeratedly plain, excepting for very young girls.
 Shirred. pleated and hounced skirts. the founces peated or gathered. do not require to be trimmed unless with the narrowest of gold or silver braid or with pearl or rhine stone passementerle. There are other more elaborate styles, where the fiounces have lace ,nedalllons or are embroidered, but not to any extent, for these are all on the simple order of gown. A narrow passementerie, on which are sewed crystal beads, Is m effective trimming on fiounced skirt. and most un- usual one and much more youthful in ap- pearance, too, than the pearl passementere, and q narrow silk fringe Is sometimes used.

Too much importance cannot be paid to the subject of millinery for with becom' ing hat shabby gown often goes unno- ticed. whi.e an unbecoming. shabby hat VIII most effectually destroy the appearance or the smartest costume that was ever de- signed Many women are altogether too careless about the hats they wear They choose some shape or color simply because 1t Is the latest fashion. and then, utterly re- gardless of the fact that the shape and ! color are alike unbecoming, place upon thelr heads some fearful monstrosity. and wonder why no one admres their expensive cos tune.
 In these days the hat is, however, care fully considered subject. and this season especially is the Item of expense as regards hats serious one. For the moment 1t Is considered essential to have the hat chosen with reference 10 the gown with which It is to be worn For instance, back hat with red costume is not nearly So smart as red hat With a blue gown there must be worn a blue hat. with purple purple hat and so on through the gamut of color fashionable this winter.
 Hats are decidedly smaller than last year. This Is not saying that large hats are en- tirely passee. for there are no end of most attraetive4shapes and styles of more than usual size The majority of shapes are small and follow quite closely the lines of the head showing to advantage the hair both at the sides and back.

time, so he left 1t there during fourteen and one-haf years, after which time 1t was sent to Sweden. in the year 1s1e
 Upon It's arrival In Sweden the harp was given by Count cronstedt to his foster daugh- ter, who became Lady Christina Louisa Ged- da. After the death of Lady Louisa Gedda In the year 1878, the harp was transferred to her daughter, Mistress Amely Langenberg, born dedda, and after her death, 1S93 the Instrument passed over to her son, Mir. Alyaf I,angenherg and 10 his children.
 The harp, as has been said before, was made by Noderman, and stands nearly two metres high.
 The precious instrument has seven ped als. while all the earlier harps have no more than five. The strings are tuned over again by hooks, the construction for which became charactt rlstlc of all the harps of Noderman. while the machinery represented the highest degree of mechanism of the time. The up- per part of the column Is adorned with beau- tlful gilt, There are plenty of certificates proving that the harp really Is genuine.
 The present owner of 1t Is not rich enough 10 keep the precious historical instrument for himself, so he has at last decided to sell It. The Conservatory al Moscow has offered T5 GOO rubles for It, yet Mir. Langenberg has found the sum too small. Now be intends 10 find a buyer In America.
 Mario Antonette's harp will soon be sent from Sweden to New York where 1t will De on exhibition.

At pretty luncheon given recently the flower motif was the green and white water lily. Intertwined strands of pale green and snowy Nhite tnlle were massed about the revealed and half concealed, a single lotus bud, from the heart of which glowed a tiny inoapdescent light. The buds were of silk. aud so clever an imitation as to be unds- tlngulsbable from their neighbors in the mirror pool in the centre, which were fresh from the conservatory.
