SOCIETY IN WASHINGTON.

Mrs. Chandler Hale, WHO has come
home after sitting up with the effete
monarchies a number of years, reports
that the kaiser has conferred boon
l1pon society by prescribing the exact
costume in which his subjects SHALL
appear before him. The directions are
minute and leave no room for burning
anxious doubts nor for the commits
sion of solecisms. Mrs. Hale believes
in the kaiser's rules and suggests the
nropriety of their Introduction in
Washington where "some persons have
presented themselves at the evening
levees in the White House clad in
shirt waists, short skirts and tan
Shoes
We hear Mrs. Chandler and we
svmpathize with ner deeply, but we
cannot approve her suggestion. The
difficulty in the way is that we have

self it is not Roosevelt. But in spite
of MIN the kaiser system is making
progress in the capital. If there is one
thing more than another which makes
the people feel like renting Washing
ton and moving the seat of government
to Hannibal, Mo, it is the extent tC
which officialdom has already copied
the manners and customs of monarchy.
Congressman from Indiana constantly
complain that they are served with pie
and no knife to eat it with, and ser
ators from Wyoming are actually
snubbed when they appear on the floor
with a plug" hat and sack coat. From
the galleries the people used to point
out the best debaters, now they gaze
worshipfully at the best dressers' or
the floor. There is more in the papers
about what statesmen's wives are do
ing in society than about what their
husbands are doing for the country. But
this may be legitimate. Probably it is
more.
A rather more serious question in
connection with this growth of style is
that while we have encouraged our
public servants to accumulate cham
payne tastes the government gives
them a beer income Hotels where

for miscellaneous expenses Depart
ment clerks, division clerks, and as
sistant secretaries draw cab hire from
the government. And yet we expect
our officials to be honest, contented anG
patriotic. It is no wonder the house
passes constructive mileage" bills anC
the senate has a contingent account
which includes curling irons and paten,
medicines.
We ought either to raise the pay Of
our imitators of royalty to the roya
standard Or shunt society over to New
York where they can afford it and keeI
Washington for just a nice, tidy place
where the government does business.

Last night the work of the Empire
Theatre company was fully up to the
standard and their clever acting did
not fail to please.
So far during their stay in the city
Col Caven's bright actors have de-

performance their acting grows better

Billy Beard, the funny minstrel COM

rical performance in New York city.
He says: 1.-The theatre was crowded to-

bow sleeve wherever posslblA Even
cloth waists which accompany some re-
cent tailor-made productions are fash
toned with this sleeve and the long
wrinkled mousquetaire glove has taken
with it a sudden spurt into popularity.
On the other hand, though, the cuff
was never made such a feature before.
Once upon a time it was merely an un-
obtrusive little straight band which, when
1t had a tuck or two run across its
width thought it had achieved quite a
plane Of dressiness. Now, however, in
the new waist, where there is a cuff at
all it is a very prominent feature in
deed; and great is the amount Of decora-
tion that is lavished upon it.
The yoke is really the foundation Of the
dainty Partisan blouse, and the mode and
manner Of its making is as varied as are
the caprices of the girl who wears them.
Their best expression is in the trans
parent style, or rather a semi-trans-
parent, for the correct mode calls for a
layer Of chiffon beneath the lace OF
which they are often composed, a mode
which wells the flesh tints beneath and
throws up the pattern Of the lace, and
all the witching tracery Of lace and
stitches to the best possible advantage.
She who would fashion those dainty
blouses for herself would better have @

so that she can lay the work on It ant

for an elaborate yoke an&a deep cuff to
meet the possible deficiency.
And this season it Is the sleeves that
are the point Of departure in styles, and
the tell-tale sleeve will date a waist far
more surely and accurately than any
thing else. For one thing, the shoulder
is now cut differently. That trying slope
has disappeared. and in its place the girl
now takes on the brod shouldered, sturdy
look that characterizes her brother.
OF the sleeves themselves there is a de-
lightful variety. There is the puffed
sleeve, and one sees it single, double,
triple. and even with five puffs billow-
ing their fluffy way down the arm, just
as II used to do on the velvet doubles OF
Henri Quatre's knights in days of old.
Now the women have taken ii to them
selves, just as they have borrowed and
adapted and adopted other one-time es-
sentially masculine fashions.
Then there is the gigOt, or so-called
leg of mutton sleeve, which Is capable
of so delightful a variety of expression.
Manipulated by different fingers, an en-
tirely different result is attained, and the
adjustment of the pleats or shirrings that
tuck the fullness of the sleeve 10 the
armhole is a point where individual taste
and skill will count for much.
OF course the girl who always wants
to look dressy, to present that appear

work Of France. And in the long run.
one is just about as good as the other,
decides the practical American girl; so
long as the smart lines and the effect
of daintiness is there, of what avail is
it to spend her precious time and her
still more precious eyesight upon a
blouse that she will wear but a season
or so anyway.
She knows, OF course, that the fagot-
ing and the like cannot be done but BY
hand; so she decides that this shall be
of the real simon-pure kind, and the
tucks and shirring and scanning are mer.
rily made by machine.
For the girl with nimble fingers and q
still more nimble Imagination for effect,
there are some hints in connection with
the blouses that she will fashion for her
self January sales which even the
best shops hold nowadays to get rid Of
all the odds and ends that are bound Il
accumulate, win prove a regular Ell Do
RADIO for her. Short lengths Of silks, odd
pieces of lace and embroidery, exquisit,
passementeries, sheer ribbons and the
like, are all offered for much less thar
they usually fetch.

The vogue of the handmade blouse
has extended to a veritable craze in
Paris and in London, and the fashion
able fancy work of the hour is the
making and establishment of those
dainty accessories to the wardrobe.
The exclusive shops that line Fifth
avenue, with here and there a few on
Broadway, are asking tremendous prices
for the imported models-and what is
more to the point, they are getting them,
too.
So with a workroom-over there they
term 1t an ''atelier," or study-of clever
apprentices the matter of time does
not by any means mean money; and so
the number of tiny tucks, the exquisite
tracery of stitches, the row upon row

daIlions inset, they are all of them ac-
complished. by hand, and the aim and
bounden duty of the worker is to pro-
duce the acme of style and daintiness,
no matter how long it takes to accom-
plish it.
Here, however, where the workers are
all OF them paid, the question Of time
becomes the prime one; and in many in
stances the even stitch Of the oscillat-
ing shuttle machine is called upon tc
reproduce the dainty effect Of the hand,

for the nonce the most favored; and a
shirt waist pattern that fastens in front
will not always do for this, for the cut
Of the back is quite a little different.
The broad shoulder, too, can better be
accomplished in the back buttoning, and
this style leaves the front all unbroken
for the display of fancy needlework.
The blouses pictured on this page show
the yoke manipulated in varying ways;
and countless others viii instantly sug-
gest themselves to the girl who has made
even one for herself. One thing she will
note, and that is the shoulder seam must
not be apparent where the filmier fabrics
are used. When those of more body
compose the yoke as well as the blouse
one thinks here of the soielaines, flannels,
mohairs and the like-then the shoulder
seam is usually taken the other way and
made quite conspicuous, indeed, and
headings Of varying kinds and characters
are called upon to lend their decorative
effect. Indeed, in the French waists lit
tie headings are used in every single
seam. The collar is put on with one,
the sleeves applied with a beading, II
joins the cuffs 10 the top, and the under
arm seams even are not free from It. One
can buy II in all widths at the en-
broidery counters, its cost is small, and
assuredly 1t does lend a handmade air to
the machine-made waist.
Little rods Of featherbone find count
less uses in the lingerie waist. They
are used in the shoulder seam 10 broaden
it out and TO support the fullness Of
the upper sleeve. Then, too, where the
elbow sleeve is employed the little feath-
erbone cordings are run in the facing to
hold the sleeve with its flimsy freight of
ruffles well out from the arm. The col
lar, Of course, is stiffened with it-that's
an old tale; but now the cuffs have a
little cording all covered with silk run
around the edge and often extending up
