This is a season of perfumes. There
are as many sweet scents clinging to
the garments of fashionable women as
were ever breathed by the disconsolate
Peri at the gate of Paradise. These
do not all cling at one time, but per-
fumes delicately suited to different oc-
casions are worn by the up-to-date
woman who does not select from
among the reigning favorites an es-
pecial one for the season. Hence it
is once more considered quite the
thing to make holiday gifts of per-
fumery.
There are at least half a dozen per-
fumes so fashionable that it would be
hard to tell which is most popular.
These resolve themselves into two
classes-one breathing the doors of va
rious sweet VioletS, the other repre-
senting perfumes whose distinguish
ing fragrance no one can tell, but
which suggest sandalwood and other
spicy wood odors of the Orient, min
gled with the perfumes of many flow
ers. In them the Oriental fragrance
alone is distinctive, and no one can tell
exactly what that is.
1t is the fad of the day to have
sachets correspond to perfumes. AL
most every fashionable extract has it's
corresponding sachet powder of near
ly, if not quite, the same odor, and
the society woman has her glass tubes
of tablets made of a concentration of
the perfume which she affects, to be
dissolved in her bath.
Besides the reigning favorites, pre-
parations of clover are in vogue and
a delicate aroma of old Spanish leather
as well as an extract of the perfume
of the orchids.
The up-to-date woman has a limit
less number of sachets. These are
made in many styles and serve many
purpose in this season OF perfumed
luxury, and the devotee of perfumery
can well understand how one woman
earns a livelihood by making little
sachets like small sticks of red and
white peppermint candy. As almost
every woman Is now enamored OF the
delicate scents, Christmas gifts of
sachets are entirely appropriate.
Every fad has It's representative IN
some sachet. The ping pong enthus-
last has saohet bags gathered around

Margaret Wilson sat by the window
in the front room of the diminutive
fiat In the street below the lights
along the curbing twinkled frostily.
The sidewalks were lined with hurry
ing people, all of whom carried bun
dies and jostled and were jostled with
rare good humor.
Now a man passed, and under his
arm was a huge paper bag, out of
which the legs of a turkey protruded
shamelessly; another bore a string of
holly wreaths on either arm; and yet
another was so loaded down with bum
dies that one of them was continually
slipping from its perch, and causing
its bearer no end of trouble in replace
ing it on the rather shaky pile.
Margaret watched the busy, hurry
ing figures with a feeling of envy. 1t
was Christmas Eve and she was lone
some. The other occupant of the tiny
fiat had gone to her home in the
western part of the state. Day after
tomorrow Margaret could go cheer
fully back to her proofreading. In
the meantime this wretched holiday

ular gown from being light and fluffy.
1t is cut off the shoulders. In fact, it
seems as if only careful fitting keeps
il from dropping off the shoulders.
Much of this effect is produced by the
bertha and the trailing chiffon wings,
which ornament the sleeves. The skirt
has n shaped yoke of alternate tucking
and lace insertion, which extends down
in deep point almost to the knee. The
lower part of the skirt shows perpen-
dcular lines of crochet edged with
plisse chiffon ruffies. Several double
chiffon ruffies are posted on the silk
underskirt to give a bouffant effect at
the skirt edge.
The bodice is of tucked chiffon. 1t
is caught into a deep pointed girdle
of rose satin. fitted to the figure and
boned, and Ornamented in the front by
two medallions of old silver Their
setting of delicate pink coral matches
perfectly the tint of the dress. The
bertha, which finishes the top OF the
corsage, is made of medallions of
crochet and lace, edged with the plisse
chiffon.
The short puff sleeves are edged with
lace. The sleeve is the distinctive fea-
ture of the dress
This is the case with most of the
evening gowns. 1t is the result Of the
craze for long shoulder effects. The
trimming is pushed further and fur
Their off the shoulders till the bottom
of the sleeve becomes a mass of ruffleS,
puffs and floating angel wings.
Big puffs of chiffon. or some other
diaphanous material, are often caught
into a tight and narrow cuff, which
accentuates the slenderness of the
wrist, while the transparent puff gives
grace even to an angular arm.
Such a sleeve arrangement appears
in a princess gown of white satin
brocade trimmed with an appliqued
design in uncut velvet Princess gowns
must of necessity be fashioned in
something more substantial than chif-
fon. They have the additional limita-
ton of being most trying to wear. The
woman who has an Indifferent figure
must eschew the princess style, but
her more fortunate sisters are recOg-
nizing it's possibilities for grace and
beauty.
The princess gown in question is
worn on a svelte figure with Sylph-like
effect. An extreme straight front eff
feet is achieved by the perfection of
the cut. 1t is cut off the shoulders and
finished by a 'tight-fitting bolero of
chine ribbon. The ribbon is laid in
folds and edged with the uncut velvet
medallions. The bolero is finished at
the bust by soft loops of the ribbon
held in place by jeweled butterfly set
with brilliantS. Where the real stones
are impossible, madam is using clever

that he made most of his purchases.
No one knows how many horses he

The city of New York is indebted
to Samuel Wood, the philanthropist,
for its Institution for the Blind.
Touched by the forlorn and helpless
condition of the poor blind-especially
of blind children-he appealed 70 the
public through the newspapers, and
the result was the founding of the in
stitution where these unfortunates
find a refuge.
Samuel Wood was always Interested
in children, and one of the first series
of books for their amusement was
written and published by him. 1t was
called The Young Child's A, b, C., or
First Book" 1t was three inches
square He always had his pockets
full of these little books to give away
to any child whom he happened to
meet on the street.
Some of the books issued by his
house contained illustrations by Alex

can wood engraving.

of the family as Samuel, was one of

GAUZY GOWNS FOR
HOLIDAY EVENING
FUNCTIONS
BY HARRIET HAWLEY.

IF madam wishes to do the correct
thing, she will be English and have
her evening gown decollete," said the
modiste insinuatingly.
sWhether or not the American wom-
an is really more becoming when an
glicized, the present season shows a
marked following after English fash
ions in dress. Decollete gowns are
being worn after o'clock by women
of all ages. Not only at large and
small private dinners and at the the
ater but even in the fashionable res
taurants with the evening lamps come
the CLEAN of snowy shoulders. 1t
makes work for the masseuse, but the
American girl has long been noted for
the spirited poise of her head and the
splendid breadth of her shoulders.
Art need do little to assist her.
Even those whom time has robbed
of graceful curves disdain to cover
their shoulders with anything more
substantial than piece of filmy lace.
Lace has wonderful softening proper
ties. Hence, it's lavish use in even
ing gowns has resulted in the most
graceful models that have appeared
for years.
White is still the favorite color, al
though the woman who aims at indi-
viduality is turning to other colors.
An occasional vivid touch is effective
among the snowy masses.
A rose pink chiffon is a mass of
plisse chiffon and Irish lace. The latter
might seem a trifle heavy on so deli
cate a fabric, but taste has now been
educated to the point when no lace
can be too heavy for dress trimmings
The lace does not prevent this partic-

The skirt is long and tight-itting.
Besides the uncut velvet medallions,
the bottom hem is also garnished with
ribbon loops and ends pendant from
the ribbon rosettes. which are set at
intervals along the medallions.
The same ribbon ornaments hang
from the elbow sleeves of the chine rib
bon, down over the chiffon wrist puffs.
Yet even after so regal a gown, IL
is rather a relief to go back once more
to the aerial chiffons and the dainty
mOusselines. Embroidered mousse
lines are in high favor.
A tucked mousseline de sole has
something quantity attractive about
its style, but its materials are bewil-
deringly modern. The mOusseline is
in one of the vivid new pink shades
deliberately embroidered with silver
bullion threads, while the lace band
ings, which are so lavishly used for
a trimming, have the pattern picked
out with black chenille. The eff
feet is somewhat startling. and yet
it has the undoubted sanction of good
taste.
The decollete bodice in encrusted
with lace in a lozenge pattern, and
finished by several simple folds of the
chiffon. The elbow sleeves end in
double chiffon ruffles. The tight
, fitting skirt yoke extends almost to
again repeated by a skillful use of the
lace landings. Below the yoke the
skirt is a mass of tiny lace ruffies, each
laid over a chiffon ruffle, without over
| tapping. The effect is delightfully."-
fluffy, especially where the skirt
lengthens to a train. A dainty finish
is given at the waist line by belt
of folded chiffon, whose long ends are
trimmed with chiffon rosettes.
The CLINT of silver or gold is COM
mon on the evening" gowns More Of
ten it is offered by spangled dots or
dew drops, which give forth opalescent
tints with every movement of the
wearer
The newer weaves of velvet are so
light that they have lost the cum
bersome effect which once marked
velvet gown. While not yet rival
of chiffon, they are practicable for
even ball gowns.
An elaborate dinner gown is of this
light weight velvet in a rich cream
tint 1t furnishes a charming founda-
ton for the encrustations of Irish lace
with which it is ornamented. The
corsage, which buttons in the back,
has bertha of lace and droops slight
ly into a deep French curved belt.
The rather loose sleeves come only
to the elbow, and are finished with
graduated ruf1ies of lace. The skirt
is circular in effect with insertions of
lace forming a yoke and Stimulating
flounces. Very wide insertions form
a veritable circular flounce at the bot
tom. A broad sash of chiffon is
knotted at the back and falls with long
ends to the skirt hem.
