vouues in Velvet Gowns.

The majority of the velvet dresses
are made in the princesse style unless
the waist has boxed satin girdle
comprising almost the entire bodice.
Few have much trimming, and one
very handsome red velvet dinner
gown was entirely plain save for the
deep bertha of old rose point lace.
On the pale shades, as blue and green,
pearl bead embroidery is effective, and
there are numberless ways in which
the gown may be adorned with large
bead embroidered patterns both on
skirt and waist.
There seem to be two favorite mod
els for velvet dresses, the one having
the material draped across front and
back, the skirt and waist in one piece,
the other trimmed rather deliberately
with satin made with a wide pointed
satin girdle.

ed with silver. In the waistcoat is
more than hint of silver cloth in a
braided pattern on two shades of blue
brocade. In light brown is another
attractive rendering of the same de.
sign, the cloth almost a tan and the
coat dark brown velvet. The waist
coat of brocade is light tan, with
pinkish Powered design. All these
coats are tight fitting, but so well are
they cut that they can be worn over
a waist to match the skirt, or, as is
still most popular fashion, of en-
broidered lawn or crepe de chine, with
insertions of lace.

Arboreal Aristocracy.

The evergreens are the aristocracy
of the tree world, writes Anna Bots
ford Comstock in the Chautauquan.
They represent the oldest families for
their ancient relatives appeared as
early as the Silurian age; the ever
greens were probably at their height
in number of species and magnifi-
cence of development during the Tri-
assic period. The pines were contem-
poraries of all those plants which
were put to bed in the DevOnian age,
and which forms our coal beds of to-
day. The evergreens are dignified
remnant of an older tree race, which
is being pushed to the wall by the
upstairs, the oaks and naples and 9TH
er deciduous trees. They still cling
to the sandy shores where there is lit
tie to protect other trees and to the
mountains and northern regions where
other trees have not the strength to
endure. Perhaps it is because they
belong essentially to another geologic
age when the climate was far different
from our climate Of to-day, that they
do not shed their leaves in winter like
the adaptable deciduous trees.

Modish Trimming.

The bouillonee is still modish trim
ming and the narrow plated frills
also retain their popularity. Among
the popular trimmings for cashmere
house frocks is narrow plated frill
of silk, The frill is set on in bold
Greek key design upon the full skirt
and the skirt has very shallow plain
yoke, which gives snugness just about
the waist line and is cut in two points
in the front. Frills trim the sleeve
and edge the turned down collar. and
silk matching that of the frilling Is
used for the girdle and for bows set
down the bodice front. A model of
delicate gray cashmere has bands OF
appliqued embroidery in shades OF
gray and white run around the full
skirt border, the simple supplied bod
ice, which also acts as trimming for
the sleeves.

They are approached by numberless

Velvet Gowns Very Much in Favor

VclVct 1OWnS very muCI III 7 dNoT'
Velvet gowns increase in fashion
able favor as the days go by, and in
the styles in which they are accepted
now their uses are manifold. One sees
them in princess forms, either the Sc
verely plain or the more graceful
draped designs. They are trimmed law
ishly with real laces, with medallions
of varying kinds and character with
handsome braids, or they are left with
only an irreproachable cut and finish
for their sole decoration. The three
piece velvet costume is one that is
perhaps capable of the greatest va
riety of appearances, the coat and
skirt admitting of wide choice in the
matter of bodices. The chiffon vel
vets and velveteens are so soft that
the accusation of bulk, which has
hitherto rendered them unsuitable for
bodice uses, has fallen away utterly,
and one sees as many velvet as chiffon
bodices and blouses in all of the ex.
elusive shops which cater to the most
fashionable trade.

endless trees and find ourselves in a

over the uneven road of village
street. Low. open houses string along
on either side, and sliding doors, PAN
eled in small rice-paper squares, are
pushed back so far as to leave each
interior entirely open. AS we jog UNI
evenly along we get glimpse of neat
ly-matted floors, shining woodwork
and hanging, unrolled scrolls, depict
ing landscape or perhaps seated
golden Buddha. Women, their black,
shiny hair done high upon their heads,
go about their work with that little
forward trot peculiar to their race. A
few bear children on their backs, and
some lean over charcoal braziers
warming their small, brown hands. To
the left of the road is fur shop,
where an old dame sits, smiling and
bowling to us, expectant of pur-
chase, while man across the way.
from house we'll stocked with
curios asks us in broken English
please to enter. And here along the
way We meet group of children fresh
from school, gesticulating and calling
shrilly to each other, many of them
entirely unconscious of the small
brothers and sisters whose heads ap-
pear above bundle at their backs.
Each one holds in chubby fist pile
of cardboard discs, bearing on one
side the colored picture of some jap
anese emperor or general. Each, in
turn, throws his disc at one face upon
the ground. If he can turn the other
disc over with his throw, it is his.
But If not, he must let his own lie
while others throw at it. There Is
