Big Muffs and Fur Collars.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
The prevalence of elbow sleeves, which
has brought much grist to the mills of
the glovers, has also benefited the furriers
extensively and has changed the fashion
in muffs.
Large muffs were in vogue last winter,
but they are small when compared with
the gigantic models that are being sold
this season, The aim of the smart furrier
is to enable his customer 10 thrust not only
her hands, but the whole forepurt Of her
arms. into the luxurious depths of the
muff.
1t Is not smart" to ask for a bol or
stole now when something warm and or
namental is required for the throat; the
new title of the fur tippet Is cravat, which
is made in several forms. One of them Is
that Of a dog collar, that clasps tie neck
snugly and terminates in front in cravat

gold studs. Another type is turnover

1uIly 10 the inquire. Narrow .tucks under
the chest indicated the waist line. A PLAN
band of the colored cambria edged with
iuffies of the embroidered muslin was laid
around the armholes and across the upper
part OF the bust to form yoke. The yoke
mus formed was made entirely of bands of
embroidered muslin. Put on diagonally
across this were two shoulder straps of the
colored cambrice. The chemise was. cut
square, the neck being edged with a scant
embroidered ruffie.
A most attractive model Is the holaro
chemise, which is also distinctly of the
empire school of costume. One was shown
made of the finest batiste and trimmed
with Valenciennes flounces. The gown it
self was made scant and almost without
gathers The neck was cut square, edged
with a ruffe beneath, which was a broad
band of French embroidery of very deli
cate pattern. Beneath this again was an
other ruffie of Valenciennes. Underneath
this top piece the bolero fitted in snugly 1t

edged the neck. The lower edge of the
bolero and the armholes were finished with
row of beading and Valencennes ruff1e.

lenciennes. This ehemise, to be worn with

detected by their reserving the best part or

Happily the birds head is easily cut open

however. the knife should be placed on

A most curious fad this season. yet one
OF; extreme wholesomeness, is to serve a
decoction of herbs in the place of COCK

This herb cocktail is made IN 1eTlnany

difference between the two being that one

about this drink is that New York does not

Empire Fashions
for Underwear

-

MPIRE underwear is now very much
- the style, and many women who
have not gone in for empire gowns
- because they are too conspicuous,
too picturesque or too pronounced
are yielding 10 the charms of the en-
pire underwear. The empire gown SUI
fers greatly from the fact of it's rather
STACEY appeal Although in itself beauti-
ful, many women of exceedingly good taste,
even those who would look we'll in the
model. are holding off for fear of being
considered over-anxious to attract atten-
ton. Also the empire gown suffers in pop
ularity from it's occasional appearance IN
q badly made garment OF materials never
meant for this graceful but fragile style 1t
10 true of both empire gowns and coats
that they should be of fine and fragile
material, rather faneiful and delicate in
effect and daiutily made. Above all things,
they require the perfection of style and
finish in the making. The empire gown or
coat badly made is horror.
Nor are the expensive dressmakers al
ways TO be trusted to make successes in
this line for while fashion is new ana
when it is followed by very few even
fashionable dressmakers are more than apt
the empire coat and frock are gaining
ground slowly, although they are sure to
come and will no doubt be overwhelmingly
popular before long.
In the meantime the rage for garments
which are of the empire period is being
satiated temporarily by generous indul-
Gence in empire underwear. Chemises and
night dresses. which include corset cover
apd short petticoat, are all made in this
style. as are also the wrappers for bed
room use, especially il they are of wash
material or OF silk.

Mint jelly is the present novelty, prov
ing delightful to the taste and pleasing TO
the eye 1t Is wildly green. as it would
naturally be, since it is made from fresh
sprigs of mint and this in itself Is unusual
among jelly colorings. 1t is served with
lamb or mutton and even with some sorts
Of game. The making Of mint jelly is very
strained, and afterward enough heated
sugar is added to make it form a jelly.
Sometimes, however, when the mint juice
is not sufficiently giutinous to jell, little
gelatine is mixed in to bring 1t to the right
consistency. 1t should never be very stin,
as Is realized by its melting almost imme-
diately it is taken on a hot plate.

Jelly is recommended as giving the caehet'

In nlodishness, and has been introduced by
the chefs of those having country homes
where the Japanese species of this shrub
has become a feature of ornamental plant
ing. This cultivated barbarry bears its
fruit in great abundance, and since the
birds are unable to make away with all of
Its beautiful red berries 1t has been a house-
wifely virtue to turn them into jelly.
Besides the exquisite color OF this. jelly
there is spicy, rich taste to It which
makes 1t the thing most desired for eerv-

Here 1t may also be said that this bird

fell in rather scanty folds. The trimming
reached two-thirds of the way to the waist.
A chemise with neck was trimmed
with Valenciennes insertion. In this che
mise the waist line was partially defined
by two rows of insertion which were placed
just above 1t, thus combining the fullness of
the garment. The two rows of insertion
were placed about an inch apart. Two
rows of insertion also edged the F-shaped
neck. Inside the insertion of
beading. and inside that lace ruff1e. The
armholes were finished in the same manner.
The night dresses all made with short
sleeves, reaching scarcely half way to the
elbow, and have open necks. The large lace
collars were found to be a nuisance, as they
crushed very easily, and they are not be-
ing used in any of the new garments. They
are made like the chemises except that
they are longer and have some sleeve,
whereas the chemises have none at all.
Every effort Is being made to use as little
underwear as possible and to have what
is worn as little bungling as possible, as
the close-fitting princess requires that there
should be no unnecessary undergarments.
Many persons are therefore going without
their little independents, using silk tights
instead. When this is done the corset cover
is necessary, the chenise to be worn
over the corset is often dispensed with and
nothing worn but silk shirt. The cor
set covers which are now being worn
are most elaborate, made of real lace, hand
embroidered, and the finest linen batiste.
Alencon lace insertion was used on one
very handsome corset cover of linen lawn.
Bands Of ribbon only supported the waist
on the shoulders. rather large bows finish
ing the bands In front.
The entire bodice was made of tucked
lawn, the tucks being used diagonany
across the upper part of the bust and
straight for the rest of the bodice. The
Alencon lace was used In a very broad
shaped band across the bust, starting at
about the middle of the bust and going
upward to the armholes. forming yoke
effect. Another narrower band was inset
below this and just above the waist line.
Very wide beading encircled the waist, and
