Hats Of Hair and Lace.
g Millinery Trade Review

FROM tne Millinery Trade review.
Owing to the delay occasioned by the
strike, the selections of straw braids and
shapes are only now beginning to be in any
way complete, and the output still falls
short of present requirements in point OF
quantity. Among the lines to which i'm
portant additions have latterly been made,
that of hair braids may be specially noted.
THESE braids are best adapted, by reason of
their lightness. to enter into the ornamen-
tauon or hats with tulle and lace founda-
tons Ihey are provided in most light COL
ors, out more will be done in creamy and
other tinted whites, in champagne and
So nd shades than III positive tones There
are also shapes woven entirely Of hair, as
II they had been executed with a big GRO
chet nook Such hair hats are semi trans
parent, and are particularly applicable to
black and rather dark colors. Rice straws
and fine Tuscans are beginning to put in
an appearance. The former are shown in
pure white, in medium and rather dark
shades OF color, and in black, the latter,
In their own natural, unbleached straw
tones. A novelty Is in the market which
may or not take here; namely, yedda straw,
with patterns, generally flowers or small
bouquets, printed upon them in soft colors.

But no matter how sedulously the founda-

Popularity of Flowers.

From the Millinery Trade Review.
Every one seems agreed with respect TO
flowers They will certainly be Immensely
worn this season, and, moreover, the list
of flowers is receiving important addi-
tions. Probably one shall see good deal
of cherry blossoms this spring, with or
without admixture of fruit. The pearly
white blossoms harmonize charmingly
with tulle of the light golden brown
ma rdorie-tne latest and one of the most
charming colors at the present writing. A
hat of this material wreathed with cherry
blossoms and tassels of the flowers falling
at the back-can anything be prettier?
CornfloWers are also very prominently to
the fore They are produced In many
shades of blue, now of a lavender shade,
now tending toward mauve. as we'll as in
purer tones and are usually employed to
trim shapes of the same color.

Caring for the Old.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harper's Bazaar.
One thing is very hard for us to realize,
and that is that old people. though so
childlike in many ways-in innocence. in
iovabieness, often. too, IN eager interest in
the activities going on about them-are not
at all childlike in, one important particu-
lar; they are not teachable. Nor is this
their fault, but the fault of old age itself
OF that hardening OF the tissues Of brain
and nerve which constitutes old age. The
spirit dwelling within may be gently meek
organism no longer ntmbly responds. A
scrt of. slow petriication is going on, and
although in noble. natures this process re-
suits In preserving thoughts and feelings Of
fernilke delfoacy in imperishable beauty,
yet 1t does not lend itsBlf to the reception
or new Impressions. The central growth
nay go on, and new ideas which harmonize
with the old may be received Into the or

habits set beyond alteration.

One gown of exceptional beauty is Of chif-

model with sulphur colored lace for the

detail remarked as a favorIte one
with fashion was shoulder trimming
shown by the bodice of this gown Taking
the form of a sort of cape in folds, edged
by band of lace, this shoulder covering
was repeated on other gowns in number
less other ways. One displayed a sort Of
Puritan collar of magnificent lace placed
over chiffon and earnisheo with black and
white spotted net.
Other yokes possessed straight or shap-
ed fiounces fall, or a lace or chiffon sur
plice scarf, which crossed at the waist but
whatever was the device the shoulder seam
was always hidden, or else elaborated with
all sorts of lengthening trimmings.
Delightfully."- Loose.
Another point extremely charming is the
absence of scanning in many of the short
Jacket effects, which are seen in legions this
season. A thin silky crepe bolero, in burnt
ivory, had the sleeves and body portion cut
in one, or rather in two pieces, for the
halves met al the back. A delightful loose
ness was expressed by this trick, and sew
eral soft shades of brownish net composed
the rest of the toilet.
Violet and blue, strange as it NAV sound

skirt displayed huge flowers and garlands

Not single skirt of the whole of this
imported batch was untrimmed. Each and
every one displayed a garnishing of some
sort, some mounting as high the waist
narrow ruches of silk or net above frills of
lace; wide folds put on to simulate tucks
and also headed in some way; and flounces
and insets and applications innumerable.

The Best Fabrics to Choose for

PRESERVE THE LINES

Written for The Evening Star by Harriet Hawiey.
This is the year when the home dress
maker will look well before she leaps, scls-
sors in hand. into the folds OF newly pur-
chased fabric. Never has she been con-
fronted with such subtle dangers of over
trimming. The patterns and designs look
simple with their bands of shirring, but
they often work out abominably under the
inexperienced hand.
Shirrings, ruchings and hounces, in 1860
and for almost a decade longer, were
primarily designed to make the figure as
broad as possible and the hoopskirt was
employed to help on the good work. But
in the year 1904 there must be shirrings,
ruchings and fiounces without "bunchi-
ness" and without roundness. How to pre-
serve the slender, graceful lines of the fig
ure and still employ the fashionable styles

The Queen Of Queens.

s. E. Kiser in the Chicago Record Herald.
States rise and fan; the sceptered kings
.Arrayed in royal robes today
Must pass with other earthly things,
Their fame shall fade, their thrones decay,
But one proud queen will always reign
And claim allegiance everywhere;
Her realm is ell of mans domain,
Her throne the peaceful rocking chair.
Her princes head lies on her breast,
Her crown is joy, her scepter love;
She reigns by right divine, expressed
Directly to her from above.
Though kings must pass, though nations wane,
The glad young mother, proud aud fair,
While men are men shall sweetly reign,
Enthroned upon the rocking chair.

From the London Chronicle.
Knowsley Hall, where the king is staying

noble head of the Stanieys, is, some people
say, the biggest private house in England;
though there are other places. for example

With STRAW rama turban, massed

and brown lace wells are also worn, though
very likely these will be employed chiefly
as hat trimmings here. At the races or
out of town they will not seem 80 con-
spicuous, for 1t is really for such use the
colored veil has been designed.
Paradise plumes are also a feature OF the
new millinery, and cherries hang tempting

The suggestion for this motive Is obvious.
France grows wonderful cherries and Paris
sells them by the ton-black cherries. red

upon our heads.

most every one of the owners of Knowsley
seems to have thought ii sacred duty to
add a bit on to 1t since Sir John Stanley
married the heiress. Isabel de Latham, five
centuries ago. The first Earl of Derby built
the two round towers for the entertainment
of his sfepson, King Henry VII. and the
great balustraded front of red brick was
added by the tenth earl. The immense park
is as fiat as a pancake, and no fewer than
eleven lodges guard the various approaches

LACE LINED BOUDOIRS
A DESCRIPTION OF ONE OF THE
LATEST FADs.
New Designs in Bed Spread Covers
and Screens-How to
Make.

The fashionable woman's taste at pres
ent inclines to laces, chiffons and softly
flowing draperies. She is not content to
avail herself of these effects for her gar
ments alone, but adopts them in furnishing
the nest in which she spends her hours of
| ease. Elegant lace boudoir sets are of filet
lace. which is heavy and durable.
Society women thronged to inspect col
lection of German handmade linen flet
lace, a display of which recently closed in
New York. Peasants in the remote parts
OF Germany make this lace in their homes
the work being sent all over Europe by a
Berlin agency. This was the first i'm
portant exhibition of this German lace in
America. and included altogether new de-
signs. Or these, perhaps the most Strik-
ing was a set consisting of bedspredd.

and splasher for the washstand.
The lace for esfspread was woven in
squares and oblongS, and then connected
by pieces of fine lace. A Atquaint feature of
the table cover, splasher and the bedspread
was that each of them represented scene
in some biblical story. &c
On a table cover the sacrifice of Isaac
was neatly told In four scenes and inclosed

Against gay silk lining or undercover
these laces look like etchings in white and
celors. Sumptueus-as these laces look at
a distance, they resemble nothing so much
as the finer quality of lace in Nottingham
curtains. fair representation of these
expensive bedspreads,- could be made by
taking an old Nottingham curtain of good
quality, cutting 1t up into squares. oblongs
and diamonds. and then uniting them
smoothly at the edges with pieces of fine

Care must be taken that each section of
lace forms complete picture. In put
ting the hedspread together harmony
must be observed in joining the different
pieces. For instance. the central bit may
be a large lace diamond. Squares of lace

The darned net lace work once so popular
affords the only means of initiating the fig
ure work, for, unfortunately, only conven-
tionalized flowers and geometrical designs
adorn lace curtains. While at close range
the darned net does not at all resemble the
hlet lace. at a considerable distance the
lack of similarity is not so striking.
Even screen covers are fashioned of this
heavy old lace, the intention of the de-
signer being to provide something orna-
mental rather than useful. although with

sometimes her pride keeps her from show

Year after year the toilets which are de-
signed for the Partisan fetes des feurs
are reproduced for the American market.
This season is no exception TO the rule, ana
since the dressiest of the new styles are
extravagantly picturesque some of these
gowns are adorably lovely.
Pretty Full Trains.
Taken en- masse 1t is noticed that the
most effective skirts with these elegant
costumes train to some degree. and are
made to look only moderately full. The
prevailing bodice IS In blouse form. and the
laces used are of the thinnest variety,
chantilly and lierre abounding over other
sorts. Among the novelty laces, employed
upon the silks especially. are some black
webs with figures in colors and various
spotted and odd meshed nets. which are
made up into narrow ruches. More elabo-
rate laces form blouses and bolero effects,
in combination with plain voles and self
colored silks.
AS to these materials, silks and foiles
are more numerous than other textures. u
number showing colors exquisitely delicate
In some cases and rarely rich in others.
Matching parasols also accompany many
of the toilets. But where some of these
seem unusually large. others are very tiny,
being in size and design exact replicas of
the carriage parasols used these many
years. The larger sorts and those of me-
dium size are more numerous. and are often
bewilderingly furbelowed at the bottom.
The hats, for there are fete des fieurs
hats, too, are both large and small; and

The Word UBuxon .,

When we now speak of buxom per-
son we think of such a one as Mrs. Luz
pin in Martin Chuzzlewit,' a plump,
middle aged, good looking good ma
tured, kind, agreeable woman. We do
not usually apply the term to a thin
woman, or to a young girl, or to an old
woman. Assuredly we should never
think of calling man or boy buxom
The word, however, once really meant
pliable or flexible, and afterward obedi-
ent. It is the same as the Anglo-Saxon
bocsum, or the high German beugsam,
from beugen Ito bend), which root ap-

In the Salisbury Manual the woman
at the marriage service promised to be
''bonair" and ''buxom," which is ex-
planned in the margin to mean meek
and obedient. We are hereby reminded
of Millions line in the most beautiful
of all odes, $50 buxom, blithe and debo-

word appears in Chaucer's merchants
