DURING HOLY PILGRIMAGE.
Sacred Square of Mecca Presents a
Picturesque and Impress
sive Sight.

Like a gigantic catafalque, somber,
shrouded in mystery, the Kaaba rises
out of the seething sea of white CARRIED
humanity that crowds the grea. sacred
square of Mesa, says Everybody's
Magazine. It's door is covered with
plates OF solid silver, studded with sill
yer nails. From the exterior Of the
roof, above a stone marking the sepul-
cher Of Ishmael, which lies at the base
Of the narthern wall, there projects a
horizontal, semi-circular rain spout,
five yards long, "a inches wide, made
of massive gold. Within, the roof is
supported by three columns Of aloe
wood; the walls are hung with red vel
vet alternating with white squares in
which are written in Arabic the words,
"Allah-J alzJelalah," Praise to God the
Almighty" The building is packed
with pilgrims, praying, weeping, beside
themselves in an ecstasy of passionate
devotion. Mingled with their voices
there rises from outside me chant OF
the Talbih, the Song of the Winding
Sheet, which every pilgrim must sing
on entering the Mecca, on DOMINIC the
sacred hiram, on entering the haram
and on starting for Nina, the Valley OF
Desire, and Arafat, tho Mountain OF
Compassion.

Sir Caspar is genial and warmly en-
couraging, but he is no easy mark"
A recent attempt to unload some "old
masters" on the museum, whose value
was put by the dealer at $4,000, was
met by prompt return of the paint
ings, which were judged good copies
but not what was wanted by the mu-
scum.
1t was only S5 years ago the museum
was started, started in very small
way. It's present large proportions are
found inadequate for to-day's needs,
and the structure is to be greatly en-
larged. An addition in the way of
orth wing is to be built soon, and on
it's completion south wing will be
added; the building will then have
frontage of 1000 feet on Fifth avenue.
But the museum as proposed in en-
tirety, will be four times the size of the
structure after these wings are built.
The late Richard Hunt made plans for
building covering eight acres OF
ground, one of the largest buildings
ever designed by an architect. II the
building as proposed will ever be COM
pl6ISu IL 10 ulA1SulI W say oOlhS p1tSO
the time for such completion at 50
years. At present the work is pro-
crossing in portions, the architects car
rying out the designs of Mr.. Hunt in
! general way. A member of the firm
of architects that is to put UP the
north wing, compares museums abroad
with the Metropolitan as it would be
with its additions, thus: almost all
European museums are made from old
palaces, and, therefore, not well ar
ranged for exhibition purposes. In the
Louvre, for instances, some of the
paintings are splendidly lighted, while
all of the statuary is miserably placed
in dark rooms and corridors. This
same condition prevails in the vatican,
another old palace, which was never
designed for exhibition purposes. In
fact, throughout France and Italy these
conditions are pretty generally found

The separate coat is seen at it's best,
perhaps, in the evening wrap. Fash
ion now DEGREES that my lady appear
in cloak that bears about it no util-
itarian suggestion, one evidently de-
signed for recreation hours. Most of
the evening wraps are light colored,
pale blue very fashionable. And
cloths of finest, smoothest quality ap-
pear to take lead in materials. AL
though lace wraps are much affected
by some, the fine cloths are as good
as anything the season has brought
forth. Crepe de chimes also are en-
ployed, a thick interlining used to
make them warm enough. One sees
some fur-lined cloaks, but not many;
they are as a rule relegated to foot
ball games and outdoor demands, not
for show in opera box and other even
ing affairs.
One lovely pale blue wrap had a
deep border of delicate gold embroid-
cry, the gilt not in the least snowy.
These deep bands are feature of the
winter trimmings, and late novelty
is the border of embroidered white
cloth. A very good pale pink wrap

THE DRESSY SHORT JACKET

met with. Equally well dressed and
suitably dressed may appear the wom-
an with the redingote suit. Fashion
does not dictate in this regard with
her usual positiveness.
Even a princess street suit has ap-
peared, the skirt shortish, the coat
a fancy little bolero, the sleeves elbow
length. But this is, needless to re-
mark, is a costume for show rather
than the everyday needs of robust,
athletic girl. That sort may do well
to keep to long easy sleeves, snug,
warm jacket, really abbreviated pet
ticoat. And for the outdoor girl we
would recommend the alfred suit, a
dull, not a brazen red. A garnet
broadcloth with hat to match is fine
for winter weather, and may be worn
by almost anyone, by blond, brunette,
"half-and-half."
The invisible plaids in green and
blue blendings are among the best
street suits, and these are seen both
in redingote style and short jacket
The better ones are either close or
more than semi-ftting, plaids not
dressy enough for the voluminous
wrap. In regard to wells, we think
preference is given to the veil match
ing the hat, whether or not dress and
hat match. A green veil is unbecom-
ing to the average woman, with the
blue and green plaid the blue veil is
the choice. Gloves are unobtrusive,
one notices fewer colored ones than
early prophesies led us to look for.
