The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-11-29

A natty tailor-made suit, copied from
an English model, is of sea1-brown
zibeline on which velvet trimmings
of deep garnet are combined with
rich yet quiet effect The coat is of
the Elton blouse pattern, a stole eff
feet over the shoulders being allowed
by means of velvet bands piped with
satin of the same shade, although in
an ultra stylish gown this piping
would be carried out in white. The
skirt, which is fairly long, as are most
of the new walking skirts, has side
pleats inserted in the cores, little dia-
nond shaped pieces of velvet marking
the flare. The skirt is simply finished
with hem and tailored binding. The
hat of brown velvet, with its ostrich
plumes, and its velvet and lace stream
ers, is not strictly tailored, but in con-
junction with the stylish scarf of
brown fox it makes an appropriate
and dressy calling dress, as we'll as a
street costume
A tailor-made hat, however, is a
necessity in the modern girls ward

amount of machine stitching must be

the new severe models, come in chew
lot, Madras and hannels, but the new
imported English vestings, whether
sprigged or striped, are the proper
mode.
The lowered piques of twenty-five
years ago are the fashion of the hour,
and fortunate, indeed, is the girl
whose mother has few old-tine
frocks packed away in lavender and
rose leaves The new vesting shirt
waists are made almost without full
ness, save for a pinch and pouch at
the centre of the waist line, and they
are finished by a braid betting fringed
and knotted, and caught by an an
tique silver coin.
A young girl in society is always in
demand for luncheons and little in
formal functions that take place in the
afternoon. A pretty gown for such
occasions is enough. 1t must be suf-
fciently quiet to attract no attention
in the street, yet it must also be suf-
hcient1y effective to grace the occa-
sion for which it is donned
An ideal costume of this kind is a
pearly tint of French gray cloth with

If the girl has a black velvet hat
let her add some knots of geranium
ribbon and some ornamental aigrettes
The hat designed for the costume had
two beautiful bird of paradise plume5
circling toward the front, but these
are 1uxuries not found in the ordinary
wardrobe A smart little stole scarf
of black liberty chiffon edged with
ribbon, the long edges falling almost
to the feet, completes and tones down
the costume for the street.
There is a wide margin for evening
and dance gowns. AS the latter can
be worn only limited number of
times, an up-to-date- idea can be ad-
justed to a last seasons toilette.
For instance, lovely evening frock
made of the new double chiffon in
shot white and yellow was trim

ruching so much in vogue, with rows
of embroidered Maracha1 Neil roses

varied by silk or velvet, and can be
applied to any pretty light silk skirt.

in evidence. If this rule is adhered
to, it may be as elaborate as more
dressy hat, although flowers and feath-
ers are altogether incorrect in connec-
ton with the tailor made.

[ noticed recently model hat that
for general all-around wear cannot be
excelled, while at the same time it was
exceedingly pretty. The crown and
leaf were formed of layers of white
felt stitched in black, the underbrim
being faced with the same applied in d
ruffled shell pattern. A band of
jacqueminot velvet encirc1ed the
crown, and a group of white wings
was posed with smart effect where
the leaf curved sharply upward at the
left side. The deep hat bandeau was
covered with jacqueminot velvet, and
rosettes of this same color flied in the
side and back
A touch Of some new color, one of
the eccentric off-shades, is used in
every hat and gown, no matter how
severe. No tailored suit is quite com
plete without one of this seasons

app1iques of real Madeira lace over
geranium pink velvet. On the gown
in question, handsome sprays of roses
and foliage were embroidered in gray
chenille on the cloth. This, and the
mellow tone of real lace, add richness
to the appearance, but the. effect of
combination and color are quite as
elegant with any pretty, carefully
selected lace, and plain cloth of fine
texture. The corsage is very simply
trimmed with lace and chenille ap-
p1iques, fall of lace passing bolero
fashion over an under blouse of sun
p1eated gray chiffon. The same chit
fon is inserted in the deep sleeve puff,
and gathered into tight cuff of lace.

The skirt has tablier front out
lined with lace, and the medallion and
chenille embroideries are posed to
simulate an apron drapery. A drop

seem luxury, but if it is too expen-
sive for the ordinary girls wardrobe,
she may replace it by two or three in.

touch of color and flare to the skirt.

bands can always be substituted fo1
the costly hand embroidery.

A pastel pink sicilienne with a hip
yoke of rich eidelweiss lace applique,
and flare skirt falling from series
of tucks, is model of elegance and
can easily be reduced to one of sim
plicity by the use of less expensive
material Medallion effects are used
in every shape and form. In this
case they form a border for the skirt
and construct sort of bolero for the
corsage and the chiffon blouse vest
A gray-green evening frock, suitable
for a matinee or concert, shows a new
design of velvet hip yoke and girdle
that can be used to advantage on al
most any gown and bring it to the
required standard of fashion. The
medallion decorations, made of ruffied
valenciennes and narrow velvet pip
ings, are new and exceedingly dressy.
A hint is really almost as good as
an imported gown when given to the
right person.

sive gowns are generally the limit of
expenditure. If these are to last
through the year, they must be select
ed with view to service as we'll as

The tailor-rnade street suit is of
prime importance. A clever girl can
contrive charming evening frock OF
odds and ends, but the cloth gown
must be absolutely spick and span,
This seasons new colors, in their
deeper shades of plum, sage green,
and of tones of blue and even red, are
eminently pretty and serviceable, and
the soft, pliable, yet dressy zibelines,
which are so popular, are preferable
to broadcloth, as they do not become
shiny.

Hebridean Proverbs.

The daily talk Of the Hebrideans has
a shrewd picturesqueness. Let the
loan go laughing home" they say. That
is. "Be careful of whatever you have
borrowed" L..
If a person were to be met coldly on
going to a friends house, he would say:
@The shore is the same, but. the she'll
fish is not the same"
The impossible is denoted by black
berries In midwinter and sea-gulls' eggs
in autumn"
Better thin k%neading than to be
empty That is, Half a loaf is better
than'no bread"
The man who is idle will put the cats
ON the fire"
"He that does not look before him
will look behind him."
"A house without a dog, without. ~

without pleasure and without laugh

After a little hesitation and q great
deal of pushing he finally went down to
the garden, and, meeting Elizabeth sud
denly, he said: Miss Martyr, l want
you to become my wife. You must
marry me-"
She did not turn to look at him, but
said, very calmly: What l must do |
have learned not to try to avoid"
For a moment Arthur was puzzled,
but he stopped before her in the path
and said: elizabeth, this is a serious
matter. Please look at me, dear. l
love you, and"
But he never finished the remark,
for Elizabeth looked at him, and he
knew he had won his case.
Some time later Jack and his wife
came slowly down the garden path, and
as they drew near a certain sheltered
nook Jack exclaimed. mocking Eliza
beth's tragic declaration: Behold the
future Mrs. Arthur Shirley, Jr."
But Elizabeth made no reply.

Giving Him His Moneys Worth.

A lawyer generally suits his fee to
his advice, but in a case cited by the
Philadelphia Times n was forced to
reverse the order. His success in so de-
ing was good evidence of his fitness
for his calling.
When this particular lawyer was first
struggling along In his protes,
sion he received a call from Il we'll
TODD farmer, who was in need Of legal
advice concerning his rights, which
he thought had been ignored by the
section-hands on a Pennsylvania fail-
road. The lawyer looked up the -stat-
utes. and told the farmer what he
should do.
How much?' queried the farmer.
"Well, let's call it three dollars" re-
piled the lawyer.
The farmer handed over a FIVE dol
lar bill. The lawyer seemed embar-
raised. But after searching through
his pockets and the drawers of his
desk, he rose to the occasion and peck
eted the bill as he reached for a di-
gest.
II guess, neighbor," he remarked,
as he resumed his seat, Il will have
to give you two dollars worth more

Niue more commonly known as

north-northeast of New Zealand and
three hundred miles south-southeast of

SAINT AND JOSS IN NEW YORK
A Comparison of Christian and BUD
dhist O-bservances.

A Comparison of Christian n buue
dhist Observances.
Long-ago missionaries. whose chron-
ologic notions were a little bit con
fused. declared that Buddhism was a
palpable imitation of, If not a dellDer-
ate steal from Christianity. Besides
the similarities in tenet were those in
ritual and ceremony. This likeness
may be seen by any New-Yorker Tor
himself. The heavy immigration OF
Neapolitans and Sicilians has produced
several celebrate Italys in New YORK.
which celebrate the festaS of home
with more enthusiasm even than is OBJ
served in the fatherland. A feature OF
these celebrations is the presentation
of votiye candles to patron saints and
to. the Virgin.
On the other hand in Chinatown
nearly every grocery store carries a
stock of Oriental yotiye candles, which
are presented to Buddha; the goddess
of mercy, Qwang Yin; the god of war
Qwang III, and the god of literature,
,Man7Mo-Mew. These candles are
made to suit all tastes, as well as all
conditions of the pocket book. They
range from poor, cheap. little red af-
xasrs Mka-tha- Christmas 9ree- capdlle
up to stately creations, four. five and
six feet In length. The Italians use
both red and white, while the Chi
nese confine themselves almost exclu-
sively to red. They use white and yell
low upon special occasions, 8 white
candle being symbolic of death and a
yellow one of heaven, or the son Of
heaven, who is the emperor Of the
celestial kingdom.
Formerly both the Chinese and Ital-
ians depended for their candles upon
importing merchants. In the last few
months the manufacture has sprung
up In New York and now attains fair
proportions. In many respects the
New York candles are better bits of
workmanship than the imported ones.
The latter are usually softer and
greasier than the former and produce
a smoker light. The homemade are
manufactured from stearin, paraffin
or wax, although the last-named sub
stance is growing into disuse. The
finest quality imported from China are
made from insect wax specially per-
fumed, while one variety of the Ital-
ian imported is made from clarified
wax of fine quality, perfumed with
the mild scent Of blossoms.
Both Italian and Chinese, says the
New York Post, employ a candle
which is really d she'll within which
the candle itself is placed and held in
position by means of a helical spring
at. the bottom of the she'll. These
shells are often profusely decorated
and are strikingly handsome. The
italians prefer as characterization leaf
work and geometrical patterns, while
the Chinese like minute bas-reliefs Of
men, gods, dragons. mountains and
landscapes. A handsome shell with
candle within ranges from 81 up to
$50, according to size and workman
ship. 1t is durable and is used as an
ornament in a church or a ~josshouse.

HER PECULIAR EXCELLENCE.
Jane Austen Deft at Work Done with
Her Hands.


Miss Jane Austen, the English nov,
elist, whose work is valued to-day more
than when 1t first appeared, in writing
to her sister in 1898, remarks, MY
mother desires me to tell you that | am
a very good housekeeper, which l have
no reluctance in doing, because | really
think 1t my peculiar excellence, and for
this reason: l always take care to pro-
vide such things as please my own ap.
petite, which | consider as the chief
merit In housekeeping" In her life of
Jane Austen. Constance Hill quotes
from Austen Leigh, who declares that
Miss Austen was successful in every
thing that she attempted with her fng'
ers. as4asi .f#.ft
Her needlework was exquisite. We
have seen a muslin scarf embroidered
by her In satin stitch, and have held in
our hands a tiny housewife of fairylike
proportions, WHICH Jane worked at the
age of sixteen as a gift for a friend. 1t
consists of a narrow stripsf ftQWered
SIX. embroidered at inc back, Which
measures -four inches by one and a
quarter, and is furnished with minik1n
needles and fine thread. At one end
there is a tiny pocket, containing some
verses in diminutive handwriting with
the date, "Jany, 1892"
Austen Leigh writes: None of us
could throw spllikins In so perfect a
circle, or take them off with SO steady
~ hand IL - narfOrn1 Mas with thn ann
and ball were marvellous. She has been
known to catch the ball a hundred
times In succession"
She did not give up the activities and
pleasures of everyday life in order to-
write of the pleasures of other people,
and Aunt Jane was the delight of a
large circle of nephews and nieces.
