This room is furnished in French style, and the handsomely bed with its embroidered curtains and coverlet stands on a dais which Is laid with rare rugs. Mrs. Mackay wore a dainty silk and lace negligee, quite as sheer and fine as the f1lmy lace trimmed slip which clothed the second infant of the house of Mackay. The little golden creature lay on her mothers arm and blinked at the camera in very quizzi- cal way. When her eyes had grown ac- customed to the strange looking ma
 chine, the photographer opened the shutter and caught the baby with a bright and cherubic smile on It's rosy face, thing that would be hopelessly impossible to accomplish in any other manner. This picture Is 50 charming and such huge success In every wayl that the Mackays have had several prints framed to give to their intimate friends, and since then every mother in the social set who can boast of an infant in arms, has striven to follow Mrs. Maekay's lead.
 When tulle bows for the neck were considered smart, there was no woman more devoted to wearing them than this same dark beauty of Rosslyn Manor They are exceedingly becoming to Mrs. Machay, and for that reason 1t is safe to say that if she were not still in deep mourning she would be the first to adopt the revived mode of hats with strings. There is something won- derfully softening and etherealizing in the effect of loops of tulle or chiffon knotted under a pretty chin, which probably accounts for quantities of new hats which are supplied with streamers of some sort. The prettiest of all are those made of straight lengths of tulie of a color to match the hat though chiffon lends itself admirably to the same use. When not tied these strings fall below the waist and it Is not un- usual to see them fiuttering out behind in the graceful way that such thin ma- terial will fall. If worn tied, then the bow may be made directly Under the chin or a little to the left side. the par ticular place of tying depending entire ly upon the individual What is becom- ing to one will not always look best on another. Pale pink, blue and laven- der strings on summer hats of the same shades are so charming that few women can resist them, even though some are possessed of threats far too short and plump to set off strings and bows to the best advantage. On the other hand. she of the swan-like neck beholds. in this little novelty in millf- nery perfect godsend, in connection

What with bracelets and earrings apo'n in fashion. we are slowly and surely getting back to the modes of the days of yore. In some respects this is as 1t should be. for these quaint fad, harmonize with the reproductions of 1sso gowns. but let us hope and pray that the revival will stop there this side of the hoop skirt and crinolins line.
 Many of the bracelets that are now worn are piiable links or series of medallions set with rare stones. How rare and beautiful these are depends en- tirely upon the purse of the wearer, and 1t is not unusual to see a small fortune in diamonds. rubies, emeralds or even pearls on one feminine wrist. Cabochan stones seem to have the greater preference just at present. When set in dull yellow gold. such gems glean with an irresistible attraction. The stones are frequently graduated in size. and yet just as often you see them all alike and perfectly matched.

Belt Novelties.

It needed not the signs of war to sound again in the feminine wardrobe the ever-popular military note. When brass buttons and gilt braid were done to death some three or four years ago, 1t seemed that many years might inter- yene between that period and the next one which chronicled the return of these gay ornaments on gowns and among gown accessories. Military effects are with us again, however and they made their initial appearance in the newest belts. Even those wide girdles that possess not the slightest resemblance to the trim belts of our navy and army uniforms, are resplendent in gold lac ing, tasseis and cord. to say nothing of rows and rows of gold braid. Velvet belts that are at least six inches wide in the back and taper from there to fit a narrow buckle that clasps in front, are literally covered with mil- tary trimmings. There is usually double row of gold buttons up the back, and over these is laced small gold cord with long ends and loops, the former finished with golden tassels. It isn't always necessary to have 0 mili- tary-lookinR buckle, on the contrary. these are often rather fancy and more Fart nouveau than a h milltaire Rath- CT inccngruous, on the whole but chic and smart on a slender figure.
 Gold hraid comes in belt lengths or hv the piece. at so much an inch. It is the best quality. and Is warranted not to tarnsh. and costs between three and four dollars for enough for one averag e-sfzed waist. The buckles used to mount on this braid are now strictly military. but invariably they are gold CT silver gilt

MISS MANHATTAN.
NEW YORK. March 5. 1904.

fn the realm of feminine fads there Is hone to which women devote their time and energy quite so assiduously as to having their pictures taken. It's we'll developed mania among them now, ana to the eye of the disinterested observer. who wots not of Fashions ever-chang- ing whims, there seems little enough fc be said in favor of these photograph devotees.
 Even the woman who has perception loses her head the minute she steps under the slxylfght, and throws herself body and mind and wardrobe into. this posing business. and without the least r'gn of fatigue will assume hundred different poses and positions that will show her various gowns hats and coats in all their most attractive views. She will have her evening dresses taken w'+s all her jewels and without them {; with her furs and without furs, then puts on hat and tries the effect of that: the train Is manipulated in all the rew and up-to-date arrangements, from the serpentine to the sweeping and r-t''-oI fal1 of It's folds.
 That photographers are reaping a vast harvest from this penchant of the Fashionable woman. goes without say 5np. thev ought to be storing up hordes cf 0nid for every order that they make means at least from six to twenty diff fArent negatives to be finished up. And
 
 what does 1t all amount to- from an artistic point of view? Inside of six months these photographs have abso- Irteiy no value in their original sphere, that of reproducing modes As fashion pictures they are quite passe, and Therefore not to be exhibited. and as 1ikenesses. that effort of photography is usually lost sight of entirely in the de- sire to make the frocks and frills look their best. The whole point is that 1t doesn't seem worth while to spend so many hours on such an evanescent fan scy. Still. one must keep abreast of the times.
 Mrs. Clarence Mackay has hit upon bne of the quaintest and most charming of schemes in photography. When the second Baby Mackay was scarcely more than month or two old. the little creature couldn't hold up her tiny head, she was photographed with her pretty mother in bed. The picture was taken at Rosslyn. the Mackay's country home, and both the mother and baby were propped up in the gnifcently- hraped bed in Mrs. Mackay's room.

with those collarless bodices that are to enjoy another summer season. A long, slender throat upon which Is set a rather small head which is sur mounted by good-sized hat, looks. to say the least, very ungainly if there is nothing to break the long line of the throat. It's length is accentuated, and the hat resembles mushroom, but with fluffy soft strings to cut off the length by adding breadth and to fill up the unornamented space. the evil Is over come in a. very delightful way.
 Shaded chiffon is one of the newes, millinery features for the spring, and II lends itself so admirably to the fashion. ing of hat strings thaf tulle may And in 1t a most worthy rival. Strings of this material have the lightest shade caueht Tn the sides of the hat. and the knot then appears to be a blending of all the darker ones.

 Those who have had the pleasure of seeing Mrs. Arthur Paget since her ar- rival this time in New York are telling their less fortunate friends about wonderful head ornament or head-dress in which she has lately appeared at the opera and dinners. It consists of a large Jewelled peacock of gold and platinum studded thickly with gems that carry out the natural colors of this eorgeous-hued fowl. and this ornament is worn SO if rests low on her forehead and in the fluffy masses of her fringe: Mrs Pspet. you know. follows the ac- cepted English fashion. and has the front of her head covered with tightly crimped bang. instead of the pompn- dour that we have such a fondness for. The head of this peacock ornament comes directly in the centre of the bang and between Mrs. Paget's. eyes. and the outspread plumage rises up and back. almost covering the front of her head. and suggesting. at the top, a tiara of many-colored jewels. It Is as beautiful as 1t is wonderful. yet there are very few women who could stand the almost theatrical effect with out looking ridiculous. It requires the perfectly-mouided features of this American beauty to set 1t off as If should be. Already some of New York's fashionables are consulting with their Jewellers and goldsmiths about having like ornaments made. though now many of them will be bold enough to attempt the unlucky peacock idea.

Still a Mystery,

station again yesterday in consultation
with the chief of police, the police
magistrate and Assistant County At
torney c. H. Murphy. The tenor of her
conversation could not be learned, but
she was told to call again. The police
are very reticent concerning her al
legged confession in which 1t IS said
she incriminated her husband, Henry
Albers. The fact remains that Mrs. Al
bers has been released from custody,
while her husband is held. Ray Eli
OFT, the friend of Mrs. Ada Manuel, is
also at liberty, and the only person in
volved in the mysterious case who is
being detained is Henry Albers. 1t
is thought that he will not be arraigned
until after election day, not because of
press of politics but rather to allow
the police to prepare indisputable evil
dence. Mrs. Manuel is still at MorbO
MIA hospital and is on the road to re
covery unless the unforeseen occurs.
