EARRINGS Worn AGAIN.

The wearing of earrings is custom
that should be adopted with caution
and the form of the earrings left very
much to the individual taste of the
wearer. They have never quite gone
out of fashion. and they certainly have
not quite come in. A tall woman can
wear longer styles than short one,
and perhaps the increased height of
the English women will give an i'm
petus to the wearing of longer ear
rings.
Americans have great prediction
for them. Parisians are ftful in their
appreciation. At present it is pearls
and diamonds that are most worn. and
some women are wearing odd ones. a
white pearl in one ear and pink one
in the other. or white and a black
ore. Pear-shaped pearls are well suit
ed to earrings. Studs of colored stones,
quite minute. are a favorite style of
earrings.

Patti Has Conc Home.

Adelina Patti has sailed for Europe,
accompanied by her husband. taking
with her as 4 result of her recent tour
the sum of $500 in good American
cash. This is her share of the receipts
of forty concerts given since last No
vember in the principal cities of the
United States and Canada. According
TO her contract with Robert Grau,
Patti was to have given sixty con-
certs. but It was round that there were
not sixty cities in which money
enough could be taken in TO pay the
$4,000 the diva demanded for each
appearance. The experiment OF re-
peating was tried in a few places. but
the second farewell did not attract,
SO the tour was cut short. The last
concert was given at Hot Springs on
March and Patti returned TO New
York Immediately, to catch the first
steamer for her home in Wales. She
announced before leaving that she had
not yet made her real. genuine fare
well" but that she will sing at Albert
Hall in London. II is scarcely likely
that she will ever revisit America. In
a great many places on her tour her
singing was criticised in the harshest
terms. and the only pleasant reminder
she will have of her trip Is the sub
stantial addition to her bank account.

New Style for Trimming.

One material laid on another by way
of trimming is a marked feature of the
fashion Of the day. Cloth bands OF
applique designs of cloth on velvet
gowns. or the precise reverse. velvet
cut out in points OF patterns laid upon
cloth. or silk used for edging cloth. or
bands Of cloth. looking little out OF
place in themselves, but individually
up to date. on silk skirts-here is
fancy of the moment which is likely TO
maintain its popularity. Such decora-
ton is seen on the capes or collars or
pelerines of the bodies. as well as in
the shape of bands round or down the
skirts. In the last mentioned situa-
ton. too. scallops of the material OF
the gown. bound round with the trim
ming fabric. as. for instance. cloth
edged with silk. are adopted. Ribbon
makes good strappings or bands, and
can be had in such variety that there
is no difficulty in meeting the require
ments in the way of color or relief of
the dress material. Bands of embroid-
cry are often applied to smarter a
blue serge dress.

Miss ElIiott's Dramatic School.

Miss Eiliott's Dramatic School.
Once upon time memorable Maxine
Elliott conduo led private dramatic
school. Size had but one pupil, how
ever, and since the success of that one
she has refrained from Boosting.
At the time Miss Maxine was a
member of the company supporting
Rose Coughlan in "A Woman of No
Importance" the bright Wilde play
which enjoyed some years ago a con-
siderable vogue. A young woman was
wanted. and Maxine (she is splendid
business woman suggested her sister.
who was then at boarding school, but
who, as Maxine suggested. had had
some experience.
1t was agreed that Gertrude should
be given the part, and she was tele-
graphed for. She arrived in good sea
son. but Maxine gave out that she was
delayed a week, and in that brief
space of time the elder sister had put
the younger through a course of
sprouts and coached her in every line
and movemnt of the part. as well as in
general stage department.
When the young woman went to re-
hearsal the first time she was so thor
oughly at home that no one suspected
her of being an absolutely green anna
teur.
Her couple of seasons with the
Goodwin-Elliott show gave her addi-
tional stage education. and then she
went to England. and after short
time became the wife of one of that
country's foremost actors. Her most

occorstinu Skirts.

Skirts are no longer decorated WIN
patches OF trimming in the way OF
applications of lace or of passemen-
terie, or with streamers of any sort.
The correct style is to place all the
decoration around the hem. Two
stitched folds OF taffeta silk the exact
shade of the gown sewed on half an
inch apart make pretty finish on
even the thinnest fabrics. For heav-
ier cloths an unstitched band OF velvet
seven or eight inches wide headed by
tucks of the cloth is a new French
idea for the bottom of skirts.

Sprina Hat Trimming.

Leather strapping is popular trim
ming for spring hats. The simplest of
sailors have no other decoration than
a band of leather and buckle. while
the more pretentious affairs are strap
ped around the crowns, brims are
caught up or down. wings and quilts
are held in place, and even bows are
made secure. all with the aid of dainty
straps of leather and brass buckles.
The same form of decoration may be
seen on the newest spring suits. Cuffs
collars and belt of bright colored
leather make an elegant as well as
simple trimming. and very beautiful
effect may be obtained by having the
leather stamped with a conventional
pattern in gold and using gold buttons.
