style with open skirts, elaborated pet
which leads US to feel we may as well
be on the lookout for some swift
changes, and the greater the variety
the better for us all.
Very Youthful Frocks.
The pointed girdle and corseIct bodi-
| ces need fully developed figures, there
fore the very youthful evening frocks
are still simple blouse waists, gathered
into close-ftted moderate girdles, with
the pretty 1880 berthas ddraping the
full elbow sleeves. The skirts of these
frocks follow the prevailing mode
wide and round, gathered or plated at
| the waist, and trimmed with ruffles or
founces about the lower half. Decided
favor is being shown velvet as a trim
ming. on sheer fabrics just at present,
tho this may be varied by ribbon ruffles
set on in rows, waves or scrolls.
One OF the most useful gowns for
Lent is the dinner or evening dress of
black crepe de chine, combined with net,
white lace of two or even three kinds,
a little velvet: and a little dainty en-
broidery. Such robe does not need
over much of any one of these mate
rails. They can. now be often found at
small cost on the bargain counters, and
with the help Of good filter, the cleT-
er woman can evolve a lovely gown for
herself. One beautiful example has the
skirt of double width crepe several
times gathered just below the waist,
falling thence to well below the knees,
where deep ,founee of coarse black
silk net or grenadine is shirred on, in
three fat puffs, each outlined by mar
row band of velvet or satin ribbon,
with the same run on the hem. Large
white or cream lace motifs are appli
qued on the net at intervals. Similar
lace pieces are set into the. crepe above
ruffled white or black silk slip with
princess haircloth laid in above the
hem to hold the full skirt rightly ex-
tended. The corsage may be variously
treated. but must be full across the
bust. If in jacket form, the fronts
are shirred, and open in y fol; the
chemisette of fine lace, falling back
from the bust to below the waist in
short points, with small revers of panne
velvet, relieved by little embroidery
which may be colored.
The fronts are trimmed with a col
lar Of heavy lace extending down over
the points, which show a closely-ftted
deep girdle of the velvet holding "a
slightly bloused vest of white chiffon
or sheerest silk and linen batiste. The
sleeves should be of the crepe, full,
short puffs to the elbow, extended from
the shoulder with bit of featherbone
crinolette, large lace motif being laid
on the shoulder in epaulet effect, with
soft lace or ruffles of the chiffon over
Il the elbow. A small position is quite

MRS. FRANK B. SPROUL

That is the question that is spelling
the honeymoon of. Mrs. Frank B. Sproul
of Pittsburg. Until very recently Mrs.
Sproul was Miss Elizabeth Howe, a
member of an old and wealthy family
in Pittsburg, Pa, and engaged to Count
Carlo De Cini The wedding was set
for last November and was to have
taken place in London, when the bride
decided that she would rather be mar
ried in the spring and in her own town.
The count arrived from Italy a week
ago and was met at the dock by his
fancee's lawyer, who gently broke the
news to him that Miss Howe had mar
ried Frank P Sproul, Pittsburg law
yer; the day before.
All sorts Of stories are whispered to
explain why Miss Howe Tilted her
titled lover. It is said that the count
demanded $4,000, payment Of all his
debts and guarantee of $4,000 a

vorce. The Pittsburg girl was amazed.
ooh, you are fortune-hunter, she
is reported to have replied colby.
The count was not discouraged by her
sudden lack of interest in his plans, and
came to New York expesting the mar
.riage to be solemnized at once.
Thru her attorney, Mrs. Sproul has
sent an open letter to the papers de-
nying the gossip in regard to the count g

she married Mr.. Sproul and Tilted the
count because she found that she cared
more for one than for the other-a true
American girl s reason. She also states
that she wrote to the count acquainting
him with her decision, but as he was
absent from Rome he. sailed without
having received the letter.
The count has not been seen since
he arrived in New York, but the rumor
that he will seek financial redress fol-
his injured pride and the recovery of
the gifts he made Miss Howe grows
louder every day.
