CLEVER MRS. MACKAY AN AUTHOR

there are people who will find prototypes
of New York society in the recital Of the
love of high-minded and self-sacrificing
man for his beautiful shallow and selfish
wife and who will be able to name the
fashionable entertainments which have
been APPLY described. The story teens
with the ultra fashionable life which sur
rounds Mrs. Mackay and she has shown
great courage in her delineation of it's
genuine atmosphere.
The "Stone of Destiny is not her first
book, altho it is her most serious effort.
She published little drama, Gabrielle -
In the North American Review, last year.
and 1t has been translated into German
preparatory to being presented in a Mum
ich theater. With her sister Mrs NIackay
published a book of verse several years
ago in which there were lines witty and
sentimental, and some which sadly
shocked the lovers Of Walt Whitman.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mackay are living In the
Waldorf Astoria this winter, as they have
leased their town house. and the last
chapters Of the novel were written in that
famous hosiery.

all. The way in which two or even more
laces, may be combined, and artistically
too, in one waist, is altogether charming.
There are two or, three earnlarl1s Of
fashion that will serve to distinguish and
dl1terent1ate the new seasons corsa ges.
and these are hints that the clever dresser
will do well to heed. One is the fact that
the waist, no matter what it's material, is
bound to be made over a fitted lining
The very long shoulder line is the lead
ing feature Of the styles present and to
come, and when correctly handled means
that the sleeve is set in much lower down
the arm than usual, and the armsize is
therefore much smaller. This calls for the
use of a dress shield, even in instances
where it has not hitherto been required
for the smaller armsize brings the sleeve
and underarm section into closer contact
with the body. And right here it may not
be anliss to say a word anent the impor-
lance Of placing the shield correctly in
the waist, for if it be not placed at the
right angle and secured sewed the waist
cannot possibly set correctly. The proper
way calls for the lowest point of the
shield to face somewhat towards the front,
and the armpoints must be higher in front
than in the back. This will bring the
! greatest width Of the shield where it is
most needed. j
And speaking of the very long shoulder
line reminds us that the elimination of
the shoulder seam mamrks the most sue
cessful models Of the newer mode, and in
the few instances where it is used every
effort is directed toward covering it up.
The deep, round yokes, are both graceful
and pretty when developed in the sheer
and shimmery materials which will rule
the spring and summer. Here is the op-
portunity for establishment 5nd trimming
schemes. In some instances the round
yoke is shirred all over and empiecements
of various 1aces are posed on it. Again it
is tucked crosswibe and ent1Edeux run in
between the tucks, or it is tucked in
lengthwise groups, with lace running be-
tween the clusters of tucks but in what
ever way it is managed the outline Of
the shoulders must be evident, and all the
fitness must run only from the bustline to
the belt.
Wrist ruffles are quite noticeable in all

on him by his friends since he acquired

1t was while Mr.. Denslow was recu-

that he became DESTROYS Of owning one OF
the islands, small one, as BELTS mod

find an island; there were hundreds OF

Of the dressy waists, and the newest idea
is to have a jabot of the same lace or
chiffon cascading it's bilowy way down the
front or forming a vest. @
The lingerie waists with their sheer cot
ton and linen fabrics, their multitude of
tiny tucks and fine shirrings, their APP,
i pliques Of lace and headings of ribbon,
have already made themselves dear to the
heart Of the fashionable girl. Many of
them are fashioned by the clever fingers
| of their fair Wearers, and in many in
stances the real Valencennes which
decorates them has been a family pos
session thru more than one generation,
and even the old-fashioned tatting has
been called to the front once more. Sheer
null in both the silk and the cotton
weaves is an especial favorite since it
shows up to advantage the simplest of
trimming designs Batiste, too, shares in
a large popularity, and this when know
ingly laundered can always be made to
look just like new.
Another hint, too, which the fashionable
will heed is the fact that nearly all Of the
imported models are fastened in the back.
In many Of them the lining fastens down
the center of the back, while the blouse
itself fastens over the shoulder and under
the arm, this effecting an almost invisible
fastening, thus leaving a clear space, both
back and front, for the development Of
elaborate decorative effects.
| Berthas and bertha effects in f1ounces,
either single or double are to be very
popular for the svelte, slender girl, for
they will give her shoulder width. The
shorter girl, however, she who leans some-
what to embonpoint, would better haye
the bertha--if have it she must-YEry
much pointed back and front and rather
short over the shoulders, for this will give;
her the needed long line from throat to
belt and SO serve to lessen the breadth
Of line from shoulder to shoulder. This
same type Of girl, too, can have the fash
ionable deep girdle if she will only have
it deeply pointed upward in the back and
sloping sharply toward the front, where
it will fasten with a small buckle, rather
than q large one, thus decreasing the APP
parent size Of the waistline, and adding
the needed length Of body to secure a
graceful figure.
