CABLESHIP DELAYED

The cableship Burnside will not
get away to finish laying the Sitka-
Puget Sound line before Saturday.
To hasten the work, night and day

it was taken up and replaced by
new cable. The old cable is now
being unloaded at the Government

The officers of the Burnside are
anxious to see the Sitka line COM

stitched shoulder tabs or bands. Most of
these extend several inches down over the
sleeve and accentuate the long sloping
shoulder seam. These tabs are we'll stitch

with the buttons like those used in fasten-

times take the place of buttons for waist
trimming.

There is discussion going on in Partisan
papers as to whether women dress to please
themselves or the men. A famous Paris
beauty seems to have hit the nail on the
head when she remarked, Il don't believe
there exists any right-minded woman who
doesn't think of some man. whether 1t be
one whom she longs to attract or one whom
she has already attracted, when she stands
before the mirror hesitsting as to what
jewel or gown she shall wear" And the
great Tolstoi, who has dissected woman to
the depth of her soul, says, women are
taught the art of pleasing from the cradle"
These two distinguished verdicts ought
to settle the question forever, and the new
spring modes will make the art of pleas
ing an easy one.

En- broidery for Frocks.

Thanks to embroidery coming so promi-
nently into fashion, the woman with an ILL
stocked purse and clever fingers will be
enabled to make as brave an appearance
as her well-endowed sister. Embroidery is
to be seen on every gown, both for evening
and day wear, and well-chosen trimming
of this description needs the very plainest
gown on which to display itself Indeed
the palmer the gown the greater the charm
of the needlework. and those who have long
allowed their needle to grow rusty from dis
use are now setting to ii with a will to
make up for past idleness in needlecraft.
There are enough varieties to please the
most exacting. from the colored embroidery
or linen to the bejeweling of lace. Delicate
tones of color well blended and worked
upon coarse linen in graceful designs are
delightful and bring out the workers artis-
tic powers to some purpose. and. as every
woman knows, 1t is the adjuncts of cos

and invite their closest friends to come and

Special Correspondence of The Evening star.
PARIS, February 6. 1904.
Society at this gay capital is very frivo-
lous in it's intent just now; indeed, there
seems TO be a kind of precarnival spirit in
the air which leads one into all sorts of
pleasant foolishness. The very latest phase
of fun and the most amusing form of en-
tertainment for this festive time of the
year is the fancy dress dinner. At these
affairs it is the object of the guests to
avoid in their costumes the representing of
familiar personages and figures which
have been done to death at every recurring

gan. 1t is considered now the thing" to

A smart fancy dress dinner given the
other night by a prominent member of the
American colony was distinguished by some
rather original dresses taken from funny
book which is the rage at present. One of
the guests very tall man, was eXcruciat-
ingy funny as a professor, his already abb

a Wellington boot worn a hat and his

We are still devoted to oriental tints and
fabrics, and, although in the world of
modes the eastern question is an open one.

things Italian are said to be Turing US away
from the orient as place of inspiration
for sartorial ideas. There is no doubt that
here in Paris reproductions Of Italian de-
signs will sway both the jewelers. and cou-

least. AT present there is perfect craze
for Italian buckles, buttons, embroideries
and trimmings. The Italian colorings are

silks and enamels as well as in stones.
Elderly women are wearing gorgeous frocks,
many of them copies of the Italian, showing
old world patterns worked in gold and
silver.
Little Louis Quinze bows of narrow vel
vet ribbon, graduated in size and arranged
waist and skirt to remind one of flight
of swallows. is an inspired whim of an un-
doubted artist. A frock of mauve chiffon
emanating from his establishment had these
little bows in pansy purple velvet ribbon
fitting in a line down the skirt, which was
encircIed with lace founces. The lace
trimmed waist had flight of the ribbon
swallows across one shoulder. Ribbon vel
vet applied in straight lines, in bows and
ructed trimmings of all kinds, bids fair to
play a conspicuous part in the spring and
summer fashions. A novelty is chiffon
trimmed with cloth. For instance, a frock
of gray chiffon will have border of gray
cloth around the hem of the skirt, and be-
tween these will be a scrollwork of gray
gathered velvet ribbon.

A Comforting Fad.
A comforting fashion fad of the moment
Is that of buying only few gowns at a
time. In fact, TO have few that are really
handsome is the sartorial watchword. When
one thinks of it what earthly use is there
of laying things by when modes change
while one walks down the street? We are
nothing nowadays, though, il not luxurious
and we have baniShed simplicity to the
winds. Our colorings are charming, our
lines are excellent, and we are adapting
clothes successfully to the individual. In q
word, conventional picturesqueness will be
the correct spring mode. One of the well
come features Of the year is the revival of
the bolero. This little garment is SO useful
that Il is difficult to get along without it,
For instance, at luncheon, when one wants
some kind of a wrap easily removed, moth

the reds and the golden browns are per-
haps the prettiest.
Brown is the popular color for the volu-
ninous spring wells A touch of brown or
ecru Is, therefore, not amiss in the spring
shirt waist.
A severe plain white linen shirt waist
is relieved by a fancy stripe of mixed
brown and ecru. A snug fit over the chest
is insured by the narrow pleats which are
laid on either side of the middle pleat from
the shoulder seams down to the bust line.
The release of the goods below allows for
the slight pouch which extends down to
the slightly pointed French waist line. The
fullness of the moderately full sleeve is
fitted into the armhole by series of pleatS
which extend to the elbow. Below this the
sleeves puff slightly over the plain cuff.
The latter is fastened by cuff links of
white and brown enamel in a marquis pat
tern. The pleat down the front is at least
four inches wide, and is trimmed with four
buttons of nacre
Pearl Buttons.
These pearl buttons are extremely FASH
ionable for use on the spring shirt waists.
AS their behavior in the wash tub is
matter of some doubt, they are generally
held in place by rings and are removed
before washing.
Round cuff buttons links seem out of
favor. The more slender and graceful mar
quis is the subject of the majority of the
new designs There are some particularly
pleasing ones in the new gray finish silver
set with stone to match the color scheme
of the waist
The waist described above is worn with

linen turnovers and the bow which finishes
the front, is drawn through two white silk
crocheted rings. The brown silk belt has
dainty buckle in the rose gold. and an in

rings gives natty finish in the back
Black and white are favorites in the list
of spring combinations. They bring to
mind a tracery of twigs and branches
glistening under a warm spring rain There
is something fresh and virginia. about the
combination.
Half-Inch Stripes.
A waist which illustrates this text has
a half-nch wide fancy stripe of black
on white foundation. 1t is more than usually
trim and tight-fittng. The sleeves are al
most skin tight and the cuffs fit snugly
around the waist. They are fastened with
striking links of black and white cameo in
a gunmetal setting. Fullness is afforded
to the moderately bloused front by a clus-
ter of fine tucks laid on each side well
