A GrncefuI New Coat.

A very graceful form of wrap which
will be seen a good deal during the
winter season is known in Paris as the
pelisse Russo. 1t consists of a straight
coat reaching about eight inches below
the waist, below which it is put into
deep folds. The seam between the skirt
and body portion is hidden by a broad
band of velvet, and the same decoration
outlines the wide pagoda sleeves. The
front is distinguished by long, stole
shaped revers which are richly orna-
mented with motifs of passementerie
and cords and tassels, which also ap-
pear on the velvet epaulets which head
the sleeves. AS a rule, this particular
style of coat is carried out in the rich
est velvet or satin and lined with white
or delicately tinted broche.

Bridesmaids, Emery.

The bevy of damseIs following the
bride to the altar are wearing exquisite
dresses and headgear, 1850 being the
favorite period. The newest cut for
their bodices is with a long Trianon
point in front, some soft material ruff
fed horizontally and tiny endless bows
down the center. Chiffon gagged at the
throat fills the vacuum from the decol-
letage, and very pretty fichu is closely
draped to the figure with only the
shortest ends in front, the flounce or
frin surmounted at intervals by small
wreaths. The sleeves consist of dou-
bic puff and full falling ruff1e, and the
wreaths of minute roses repeat them
selves twice on the skirt, where they
are set in horizontal lines on the bouil-
tonnes half way between the waist and
the hounce, and the charm is enhanced
by picture hat tied beneath the chin
with ribbons. The great thing to be
considered is that the color scheme be
perfect. Pink must appear somewhere
1t is as essential as that the Victorian
era be not forgotten altogether. The
hats are nearly all of the picture type
such as Marie Antoinette wore at the
Trianon or Vandyke or Reynolds OF
Gainsborough painted. and long, wrin-
killed. gloves are invariably worn.

The Diet of ola Bernhardt.o

To know the daily diet of distin-
guished people is information pecuI-
iarly interesting to many persons.
Nine. Sarah Bernhard has herself
raised the domestic curtain and dis
closed to view the diet she affects.
Breakfast is entirely "out of the bill. %
but she finds compensation for this abb
stinence in a luncheon consisting of q
bouillabaise and roast beef. For dinner
the "divine Sarah" contents herself
with an egg beaten up in beer-a sim
gular, somewhat unsatisfying and
certainly not a fascinating feast. But,
marvel of marvels, her supper some
times consists wholly of mussels. It is
said that no man is hero to his valet.
In the case of Mime. Bernhardt 1t may
be supposed that she is no heroine to
her chef.

Millinery Modes.

In the matter of toques versus hats
the verdict for the winter has been Civ
en- by the jury of fashion on behalf of
the latter, which assuredly predorni
nate. Specially numerous are the large
shapes, and many fashionable women
are falling back on the bonnets, large
and small, the smaller specimens hav-
ing a point over the face a la Marie
Stuart. the larger often following the
form used in the early Victorian era.
Velvet will be much worn, more per-
haps than anything else, and this is
well, for it bids fair to be a season in
which fur will be the mode, and Moth
ing looks so well as velvet with fur.
The one enhances the beauty of the
other. Some of the newest felts have
a half inch upright nap of silk, but they
possibly will not take on SO well as the
mouse felts with their close pile, which
is silky also. High crowns have crept
into these, but with broad brims. The
color par excellence in all these is NOR
dore, which is trimmed mostly with yell
low tones and the many shades that are
to be found in the nasturtium.

The latest fashion in millinery for wee

and silk roses to match the color of the
little cloth or silk pelisse or coat. This
particular fashion possesses a definite
advantage the roses being infinitely
easier to match. than the headgear it

Smoking is almost a universal custom
among japanese ladies. The empress
uses a silver pipe with a stem ten inch
es long. The bowl is very small-in
fact, only a quantity of tobacco suff1-
cient to give the smoker two or three
whiffs can be put into 1t. Then the
ashes are knocked out, and the pipe is
carefully cleaned before it is refilled.
To an American this form of smoking
seems to involve too much work. A
pipe is cleaned many times in the
course of an afternoon. The Japanese
word for smoking means, literally,
drinking tobacco

Pairing the players is an important
point to consider, and the question of
ten asked is shall they be assigned to
certain tables or shall the seating be
by drawing lots? Another point which
is apt to bother the hostess is whether
each player shall keep the same partner
through the evening.
The wise and impartial arranger of
such an entertainment will not relish
playing the part of fate for the evening,
but will allow the god of chance to have
his way. A selection of partners is all
very fine for well matched players, but
it is hardly likely that there will be an
equal number of good and bad players
present. And, too, in the course of a
tournament many of the games would
be woefully one sided if two of the best
players kept together all the time.
The most satisfactory way to settle
matters is as follows: Have ready as
many slips of paper as there are play
erS. For convenience we will say twenty
guests are present. On four slips write
table L. on four more slips table q"
and so on up to table s." The four
people who draw the four table L"
slips will play the first rubber together

when they are usually of the "dove"
type and the refreshments are of the
afternoon "tea" variety. At night tour
naments the invitations are generally
sent out for a quarter to 9, with the ad-
monition to be punctual. At about IL
light refreshments, such as bouillon,
sandwiches, cold chicken salad, ices

These bridge parties are often bohe-
milan in their nature, and it is decidedly
swagger to let the men smoke during
the game, little ash receivers being
placed on the tables for their conven-
fence. GRACE GRISCOM.

Ordinary glass-not extra thick or
strong-may have holes bored through
it by the following method: Press a
disk of wet clay upon the glass and
make a hole through the clay of the
size desired SO that the glass is laid
bare. Then pour molten lead into the
hole, and lead and glass will drop out at
once. This method is based upon the
quick local heating of the glass, where
by it sustains circular crack. the out
line of which corresponds to the outline
of the hole made in the clay.

long sl1irted coat entirely apart from
the ordinary paletot.
The smartest models fit close to the
figure in the back and sides, a full
basque being scanned on just where the
waist terminates instead of over the
hips. The sleeves are nearly always of
the leg of mutton style, with large
turned back cuffs which are often made
more elaborate by a tight silk undercuff
handsomely embroidered. The dressy
redingote of velvet generally opens over
a waistcoat of some expensive stuff.
But this coat is not confined to velvet
as a fitting exponent for it's charms as
cloth is quite as suitable. For practical
purposes there is much to be said in ia
vor of the cloth redingote, and the most
stunning examples have seen are
trimmed with silk braid of the new
broad plated variety carried out in
military fashion down the center front
of the wrap from throat to hem and

with a large bank account redingotes
are to be had in sealskin and in all the
finer pelts of the season. ee-s

M RIDGE bids fair to be as pop
ular as ever as a drawing room
card game. The smart set,
who Immediately upon its in
PRODUCTION took it up with enthusiasm,
have not lost a particle of their ardor
over the games attractions. Unfortu-
nately many persons have made an in
nocent and interesting pastime a medi-
UNI for gambling. The real game of
bridge played in sane manner, devoid
of all sensational monetary features
save the winning of pretty, inexpensive
prizes, is as harmless a way of spend
ing an evening as would be the playing
of the antediluvian backgammon, ear
ly Victorian whist, brain devouring
chess or any other mild distractions
warranted to bring the most lucid mind
to the verge of lunacy.
For the hostess who wants to pay off
her social indebtedness in a compre-
hensive and inexpensive fashion a
bridge tournament has decided advan-
tages over other amusements. The
"giggle. gable. gobble," tea is rather
passe as a social hquidator, and large
dinner is often beyond the house and
purse possibilities of the would be en-
tertainer. There is no reason, however
in the case of a bridge tournament why
forty guests could not be comfortab bly,
entertained in couple of good sized
rooms, although the ideal number would
be perhaps twenty, thus occupying five
tables. Still the old adage of the more
the merrier holds good in the bridge
party.
One pleasant feature about playing
bridge is that age is no deterrent, and,
saving grace, it is not imperative, as at
q dance, that there be an equal number
of men and women present, though I'M
doubtedly. when possible. the latter
combination adds to the success of the
affair.
And one more plea for bridge is that
poverty is no ban. for cheap prizes are
always provided, and it is not good form
to play for money.
One of the first requisites for success
is an even number of players exclusive
of the host or hostess. When both of
these are ardent devotees of the game
this rule is a hard one, but an enter
tainer should put the success of his
party and the pleasure of his guests
above all personal qualification and
should remember that if one player fail
him an entire table will be spoiled. OF
course if an obliging friend can be
counted upon to step in to fill the gap
all may be well, but hostess must al
ways have an extra string to her bow.

after the first rubber one table is al
ways waiting to play.
The score cards may be purchased
with pencil attached, ready for use. The
largest winning score gets the first
second prize, while the greatest losing
the 'fbooby prize" When a BOBBY is not
given only the winning scores are kept,
and this distribution simplif1es mat
number of table, name of player and
the Score" printed on it.
A very dainty woman's prize is a
design shown in the illustration. A box
sufficiently large to hold playing and
score cards is covered with a strong.
firm, but not too thick, material so the
corners may be easily turned. With a
little paste fix thin layer of cotton
wool on top of the box, then cut out the
material-art linen makes an excellent
notwithstanding good margin all
round, and lay it smoothly over the top
of the lid, FASTING it firmly down over
the sides. Now cut carefully four pieces
of very thin pasteboard to fit the back,
front and ends of the lid. These should
meet at the corners. Cover these with
one long strip of material so that when
laid around the lid of the box the pieces
of cardboard fit exactly on the sides
and ends. The lower part of the box is
covered in the same way. If the design
is painted instead of embroidered the
box is first covered. 1t is easier to
paint upon and there is no danger OF
