ing on in this town, is to ''put it
mil dly" so to speak. Jerome's
watcher are out by the cartful, and
William Is not only stopping over
but padding in the slop of each
days output of lurid rhetoric in the
editorial columns of his paper.
There will surely be e warm time in
the old town, on election day.
Things are far from frigid even now.
That is as to politics. Regarding
the weather, Jack Frost is gravitat-
ing toward the Genre Of the stage,
and, New York is beginning to turn
up its coat collar. And let me rise
to remark before we proceed further.
that that very proceeding is most
unwise. When you go out, leave
your collar down and let the air no
matter how keen-blow around your
neck. You will not suffer half as
much with the shivers, as when you
muffle up your throat. (There is
no charge for this bit of advice. }
Well as women are not allowed
to vote and it is well, for / fear the
majority might cast their ballots for
the man instead of the principle.
We might as we'll take up the sub
ject of fashion.
Year by year, women tempt Provi-
dence more and more by the thin
ness of their raiment in cold wealth.
er. Rosy shoulders and arms peep
through himy waists, in January as
well as in June. The present ex-
tensive vogue of the long coat is
some palliation of the practice.
Thus fine thin silks, the Highest
weight woods and an army of lace
like wash stuffs, rather crowd reg
ulauon Winter weaves to the wall.
The really modIsh long coats
show jackets effects, and are most
effectively developed 10 fine broad
cloth, trimmed with fine silk braid,
and lined with white, black or pale
gray satin. They are half fitting
and have sleeves sufficiently ample
to accommodate comfortably the large
sleeves of the gown of style.
Snug fitting effects designate the
upper part of the skirt; thus we
have an era of trim waistedness in
lieu of recent baggy and pouch-like
features. The makers of the R. &
G.. corset, have risen to meet the
emergency, as usual and contribute
a corset which makes a woman
graceful and symmetrical, possible
angles and deficiencies of her form
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
| The clan plaid silk waists are
quite chic. They are embelished
with very small brass buttons on
the frodt edges. The open fronts
are connected by straps of plain
silk and under them extends plain
silk scarf.
Girls school dresses may hav e
killed skirt and Russian blouse.
Very small check brown and white,
shepherds plaid, makes up prettily
after this model.
Ladies desiring to write to me in
reference to the the depilatory pow
der l have several times alluded to
in these columns, can do so in per.
perfect confidence. for no one sees
letters on this subjects but myself.
Remember, my address is So East
I3oth Street, New York.
Russian pony skin wraps are very
fashionable. They show tiger and
leopard markings, and are trimmed
with mink.
Goats lined with squirrel fur are
finished with collars of finer fur.
Embroidery in every conceivable
color, texture and pattern, IS as
brilliant in its vogue as the virtue OF
the Mikado-a la Admiral Togo.
Nothing that fashion has too of
fer is more generally liked than the
blouse Eton; and this season It is
developed in more fascinating forms
than ever.
