Winning the Fight for Life.

FROM the cleveland Leader
Since death is inevitable and the love of
life is all but universal. it follows that the
progress Of the medical profession must al
ways be unsatisfactory to human desire.
What the average man or woman really
wants Of doctors is immunity from sickness
for 80 or 100 years, and the power to keep
death at bay until old age makes life tire
some. if it ever works that way.
Hence it. is easy to overlook the great
gains made in the unending warfare against
ills of the body and against the arch foe
which Stays in the end. Intelligent men and
women often say that medicine Is the
science which lags heavily behind the rest
in the progress of the age. They accuse the
physicians of cropping more or less blindly
and helplessly for means of restoring health
to the sick and suffering and at last yield
ing to death almost impotently as their
predecessors generations before Sometimes
it is even claimed that under the ministra-
lions of modern doctors the physical stanl-
ina of mankind is diminishing.
For these reasons 1t is good to consider
occasionally the immense and solid gains
made by preventive and curative skill in
places and under conditions permitting ex-
act measurements of vital differences. Now
and then changes advised and directed by
the advance science Of the times result i'm
mediately in such cutting down of mortality
rates that there Is absolutely no room for
questioning the Importance Of the progress
made In the battle for life and health.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December 9, 1893
The evening wraps that elegantes of the
fashionable world are still adding to their
trousseau charmingly demonstrate the Win
ter's preference for white. Few all-colored
cloaks are seen, and If a bit of tinted trim
ming is used the result is the eked-out pref
tiness of doll finery. The old labored and
overcrowded look is a thing of the past in
all departments of dress. Especially is this
SO with the best evening cIoaks, which re-
veal delightful simplicity of effect, not
withstanding the fact that more care than
ever is taken in their creation.
ExteriOrly, the choicest cloth models,
which are made in losse box coat styles,
are distinguished by plainness which
filings every detail of an elaborate collar into
relief. SO upon this collar is laViShed the
''fnicky' part of the labor, and, whether a
stoIed affair or one in round cape form, it
is generally a feat in millinery. The fat
and round chenille fringes, which are being
extensively used, are especially gracious
upon the cloth cloaks. They border collars
points from the sleeve, and as all of these
fringes. and the silk ones well, very
deep. the elegance of wraps so decked is
marked. The very thin French cloths are
sometimes made up into accordion pleated
models. the sleeves, also pleated being set
in at the shoulder. These have quite dol
man air. and because of their extreme
loosenesS they are much favored by young
matronS.
\ new material Is seen on a few of these
theater and opera wraps. 1t is a wool tex
ture which daintily Stimulates ermine with
out its Clumsiness. Used as is the fur for
stole collars and borders plain ivory cloth
and this new material are combined in ele-
giant and moderately priced cloaks. The
heavy cords and gimps of the season out
line their deckings and form the pende-
loque buttons whose swinging ends appear
upon many wraps of a dressy nature.
Extravagant Modes
The silk and satin cloaks are the extrava-
gances of the season. for upon these are

One dark Spanish-lool1ing girl recently
achieved this triumph with a costume Of
comparative simplicity. The material of
her gown was painted net, against whose
grayiSh white background appeared the
shadows of leaves in autumnal colorings.
Inside the slightly cut-out neck of the
bodice was a tiny CAMP of plain gathered
net, which material also formed large
puffed undersleeves. The full drifting skirt
appeared to have three deep tucks, and to
be put over silk petticoat in a singular
blue. This blue showed openly in wide
folded girdle and some bodice knots-a
shade sublime with bronze and silver re-
Elections, and the ribbon itself having that
tumbled look that all aristocratic ribbons
should have.
In Violet Bengaline.
For one of New York's most fastidous
dressers a well-known faiseuse for the
fashionable set displays a costume in violet
bengaline, which will be worn at the opera
later on The tint of this is scarcely more
crust it and the artificial flowers and tulle
which are used upon the bodice are SINH
larly colored. Altogether this gown is a
Feat OF exqulSiteneSS, and 1t will be COM
pleted by a necklace and comb in mauve,
sapphires and rose diamonds.
The shoes designed for most opera toll
cites in pale tntS are in the same hues
and some satin ones even show pearl and
colored bead embroideries.
Pale blue chiffon velvet and Irish point
compose one opera get-up of a handsome
brunette in the smart set. Another of the
same womans gowns will be made of rose
colored tulle trimmed with silver embroid-
cries and spangles, which webs are as eX-
qulsite as If they are precious in price.
