NEW YORK LETTER.

Furs, Flowers, Fads, Fancies, and
Fashions Galore.
Our fine weather continues; sharp
day now and then, but mostly bright.
We are nearing the season of niceties
Strawberries, sunshine, flowers and
other delightful things.
Now that the excitement of the In
auguration is over; that President
Roosevelt has had the time of his life;
that everybody knows what Mrs.
Roosevelt wore; how Miss Alice look
ed; when vice.President Fairbanks
took his oath of office, and how things
went generally, we are settling back
into our usual groove. Let me say
right here, that ladies are buying furs
as briskly as though it were early
December instead of March. Well,
they come in handy for late Spring and
early Fall wear, as we'll as for mid
winter. And when G. @ Shaynei is SELL
ing off his magnificent peltries at red
letter rates because he does not want
to move or store them, one had
the incentive doubly intensified to
purchase now. He sends illustrated
catalogues to all who address his en-
porium in West Forty. second street.
He is getting ready to build a much
larger place, though his present one is
large and elegant-but inadequate to
the requirements of his immense busi-
ness.
/ receive many letters from ladies
asking advice upon various points, and
am always glad to enlighten them
when | can. The majority of them
want to know ifI can tell them how to
remove superfluous hair from face and
arms. / have talked with leading
chemist of this city, who has, for the
past thirty years, been making up a
powder from a private prescription of
his own, for the most refined and ex-
elusive class of ladies who will not buy
or use the variua nCstrums so widely
advertised. | have seen this depila-
tory tried in some very aggravated
cases, and it works like charm. l
have persuaded the chemist to put it
up for any lady who writes me that
she needs it, and he will supply good
sized jar of it for $1.G0. Those inter
ested can address me, at 56 East 130th
Street, New York.
Mr.. Shayne is public spirited man,
and wields great influence from his
position as president of the Merchants'
and Manufacturers Board of Trade, as
well as through his personal prestige
and magnetism. He holds that the in
fiux of vagabond, thievish and out
cast emigrants is menace to the pres
ent generation, and to posterity.
The majority of emigrants which
every incoming steamer dumps upon
our shores in rapid succession, differs
widely from the rugged pioneers from
other lands who helped to build up and
better America by becoming, them
selves, Americans.
Mr.. Shayne also urges the reduction
of telephone rates-a sore point with
overcharged New Yorkers-and of
ocean postage-the latter to two cents.
The short white glove is out of fash
ion. Mousquetaire tan Suede gloves,
stitched with black or white, are reviv-
ed. The prevalence the elbow sleeve

long, wrinklewristed glove Of Suede.
Irish crochet lace makes exquisite
hats. Chip hatsin pink or blue are
trimmed with velvet bows of the same
color in slightly deeper shade, and big
camellias. A stunning Directoire hat
is composed of tiny frills of pink lace,
and is wonderfully becoming
The popularity of the fat front skirt
is as great as ever, the immediate front
being distinctive panel. Many skirts
are trimmed with self ruffies.
Gowns of linen and cotton, in color,
are embroidered in white; and white
linen gowns have colored bands. The
smartest Summer suits will be of linen.
