Another attractive style of evening

Of a very simple bodice.
The chiffon satin is put on quite plain

simply rolled edge around the bottom.
The back piece is drawn across the fit-
ted lining and fastened 10 the underarn
seam. The lining fastens down the
middle OF the back. The seam down the
middle of the front is stitched and
boned and trimmed with three large
bowknots of rhinestones, upon a ttHIs
foundation. put on in graduated sizes.
BoWknots of the same style frame the
border of the decolletage on q band OF
shirred tulle, and the decoIletage is then
edged with a rufffe of creana-coIored

lace hangs ever the bodice, being quite

Among royal ladies OF the day who can

Countess Lonyay. who was but a girl OF
sixteen when introduced to the Viennese

eyewitnesses. the youthful Stephanie OF

difficulty when facing the .applauding
crowds for the first time.
Queen Alexandra can scarcely forget

years ago for 1t was unique OF Its kind.
The royal carriages made but poor

prevailed. in honor of the prince con-

allow the good mans death. which had
occurred more than a year beforehand,
to wet blanket their JOY IN welcoming
the loveiy Danish princess. who was
coming like sunshine to a dismal court.

gree of uneasiness must prevail till he

- HE smart evening bodice of this
season is more simple than it has
been for some years past. 1t also
follows the lines of the figure
much more closely. The blouse has prac-
tieally disappeared from the horizon of
fashion and does not come in any style
OF bodice, whether for evening or day
wear. The bodice is either draped to Il
fitted lining or softly held in the belt.
Quite the most conspicuous note in the
world of fashion, so far as evening
hodices are concerned, is the increasing
simplicity OF evening gowns, The sim
pier these are the smarter they are.
1t is an easy matter to make gown
that is fussy and frilly and full of trim
ming. but very difficult to achieve a sue
cessful gown that is severely simple
and yet smart in its outlines. The de-
mapd is ever Increasing for this style
of gown and modistes are finding the
question of meeting it a difficult one.
Pretty much all the @smart' woman
seems to want now is dress which will
follow the lines of her figure in charm
ing simplicity, designed to show all its
best points and conceal ali its worst
ones.
The sleeve of the evening bodice is
short and small. 1t may be a puff or
TWO or bit of drapery of the dress ma
terial or lace, tsut in all cases it is small.
Sometimes the sleeve is separate from
and hangs below the shoulder band. but
this is matter Of taste and is usually
affected by women with extraordinary
beautiful shoulder lines.
When the skirt Is trimmed with lace
the bodice also is trimmed with 1t, and
two ruf4les of lace finish the sleeve.
Girdles for the waist are smaller

flee Of japanese lives involved in the
success of his plan, according to a
dispatch from a correspondent with
the third army, says a World dis
patch from London. His very out

has grown careless in dress, and
strangers often find it difficult to
pick out the aged. haggard man as
the real leader. He refers to Gen.
Stoessel as the hero of Port Arthur
and emphasizes that surrender leaves
his fame untarnished.
Gen. Nogi, it is recalled, lost two
sons, his only children, in the war.
