OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
IL Is To Make and Break-A
Peerless "PiCk- Up"

A We'll, wonder how many reso-

standard ones made was to refrain

holiday preparations, holiday indul-
gences and post.holiday crow-eat-
ing, the impositions put upon the
human system battle description.
The hallucinations of the "rarebit
hends" are foregone conclusion.
IL any force, seen or unseen, treated
us one'half as abominably as we
treat ourselves, we would be
"abused communities without
number.
But relief lies at Barclay street,
New York, for all distraught by
dyspepuc pangs. Mr.. A. j. Dit
man sends, for as cents, a suffici-
ent supply of Trigestia tablets to
keep down indigestion for months.
These little affairs are worth their
weight in gold, forming as they do,
not only first aid but best assistance
to the injured.
Plain clothes are "it," modlshly,
for street wear, and divide the hon
ours with striped and checked vel.
vets and vclveteens. Stout women
look positively willowy in very mar
row pin stripes. Gun. metal gray is
a very popular color for street wear,
and dark blues and greens, garnet
and plum shades are all in favor for
the same purpose. A street cos
tune has to serve in several capaci-
ties, so 1t should be simply made, of
the very best quality of material one
can afford, fit perfectly, and be in.
conspicuous as 10 color.
The young miss who received
rain coat for Xmas was fortunate,
for some smart and beautiful de.
velopments in this line are noted.
The Empire model is the hit of the
season, though there are semi-fitted
and belted styles for girls who pre-
fer them.
Mordore and castor browns are
in high favor. Brown IS much
used for trimming purposes, as we'll
as for suits and gowns entire. A
cream crepe de chine gown shown
at Lord & Taylors' has bands and
applications Of rich brown velvet.
Another blue mousseline de sole
shows similar decorations. Touches
of some pretty shade of brown on
any soft-textured light hued mater.
ial are much more pleasing than
the black ornamentations popular
last year.
Plads and tartans of all sorts are
in evidence. Plated skirt OF green
or dark blue plaid is feature of
Partisan modes, to wear with fur
coat. The newest skirts of this
description have graduated plaits
beginning at the hips and deepen
ing at the hem into ample folds.
II such skirt is to be worn with a
cloth coat, the coat should match
the darkest color in the plaid.
Double and triple skirts have
been revived, the latest double skirt
being surmounted by a short redin-
cote which gives the effect Of
triple skirt.
Trianon and Vatican hats con.
tinue in great favor, the most fash
ionable being in hairy beaver felt,
with slight and simple trimmings.
Most Of the really dressy hats are
trimmed with ostrich feathers.
Velvet foliage in shaded effects is
having great run. Rembrant,
mosquetair and Amazon hats are in
considerable evidence, and there is
a new cavalier shape in black fur
felt with two ostrich plumes and an
artistic adjustment of pale blue rib
bon and fancy buckles.
