NEW YORK FASHION LETTER
BY MAUD GRIFFIN

menterie, or of red silk. Beneath the
falling to the hem<of the skirt.
Taffeta is manipulated into the most
exquisite floral trimmings this season.
For large flowers it can be handled to
better advantage than chiffon and then
if very softening touch is desired, the
flowers can be covered with the latter
material. Taffeta chrysanthemums with
chenille leaves are very artistic and
make handsome trimmings for velvet
gowns. They are also used in decorat-
ing crepe de chine and wolfe frocks.
If one is handy with the needles these
trimmings can be made at home, for
the patterns which come for them are
so complete that one can not easily
go astray who has natural talent for
such work.
White lace dresses do not show the
simplicity which they have hitherto
been alleged to depend upon for their
beauty. Now designs are charmingly
elaborate. smart model worn at a
large reception a few evenings ago had
two rows of gold rosettes on the bodice,
with belt of gold gauze. The elbow
sleeves were bordered on the upper half
with wide band of sable, the fur dot
ted with gold knots. A deep fall of
lace and chiffon completed the sleeve.
The skirt was made over two sepa-
rate petticoats of mousseline de sole
and chiffon and these in turn were
built over foundation of taffeta. The
bottom was mass of plated chiffon
and lace ruff1es and beautiful in it's
soft effect The skirt fitted without
fullness about the hips, if, indeed it
did not hug the figure.
The return of the snug fitting skirt
reminds one of another novelty that is
shown in the shops. This is no more
or less than petticoat, the upper part
of which is made of silk stockinet
which makes it fit over the hips so
closely as to leave nothing to be de-
sired. The flounces are detachable and
come in sets, usually white black and
blue or white black and pink, of green
There are always the white and black
fiounces, though and the color can be
selected according to the individual
taste.
Silk petticoats that look very much
like dress skirts also come ready made
to be worn under gauzy dresses. Some
are very plain and inexpensive-and
there are others.

by his recent prououncement against
the use of gravies and sauces, which.
he contends, are poisoning the Ameri-
can people, is eighty-two years old. but
still hale and hearty, and this fact, he
intimates, is due partly to his absti-
nence from what he calls the French
denominations" meaning the aforesaid
gravies and sauces.
Senator Pettus is noted as wit and
on occasion regales his colleagues with
quaint stories. He told one of his best
when he took Senator Gallinger to task
for the latter's Interpretation OF certain
legal questions in the debate on the
Porto Rico bill couple of years ago.
He said he once went to preach
ing" in the mountains where the minis
ter was as learned in the Bible as my
friend from New Hampshire is in the
law" The text chosen was, "Seven
sons did Micah bear unto Enon." The
preacher explained the text by saying
'AAol A@hOl was DIN anu
ment, whereupon the doctor told his
seven sons to get him some milk. 1.-THE
cows did not come up the night before"
Grawled Senator Pettus, initiating the
singsong tones of the mountain preach
err, land so the seven sons could not
find them. But they came across a she
bear and MIXED her and carried the
milk to Enon. And so, brethren, it is
written, Seven sons did milk bear
unto Enon.'
That preacher" continued Mr. Pet
tus, had as accurate a conception Of
the Scriptures as some of our senators
have of the law of the land"
He goes to bed at o'clock and rises
at 6, and by the time other senators
are getting their breakfast he has dis

HANDSOME WAISTS.

They Are shown In Great Variety
and of All Qualities.
The fate that shapes, not our ends,
but our waists, has fully decided that
shirt waists have not yet .outlived
their usefulness, and we are to have
them not only this winter, but next
year as well, for even now the manu-
facturerS are making up thousands of
light materials, mostly in the lighter
silks, for next summer, so it may be
understood that we shall be well pro-
vided with waists. But the new ones
are somewhat modified and are not so
baggy nor so short WASTED in the
back as they were. As they were last
year it is a wonder that any woman
could endure them. Now the backs
are more nearly like the shape we are
but the fronts are certainly fuller at
the waist line. though not in the Ole
ugly way, for a few folds or gathers
make a full effect at the belt line.

delicate gray has lines of Persian rib

carved tables and chairs are all of this
rich, dull finish, and the tone is re-
lieved by the red leather cushions of
the chairs, by the brass andirons and
by the old portraits in their dull gilt
frames. The old English window is
particularly attractive, with its frosted
panes and figured dimity curtains, and
the deep red rug adds another touch Of
color to the whole.
