Some Foibles of Fashion.

Nothing is more interesting to the
student of times and customs than the
everchanging fashions. and this does
not apply wholly to the fashions in
dress. Fashion affects most things
concerned with life and manners, from
the proper mode of bowling and shak-
ing hands to the correct angle of the
neck and the changing location of the
feminine waist, and it passes over
very few of the inaminate objects that
are in any way connected with the
welfare and comfort of mankind. 1t
is not SO many years since the backs
of theatre seats were adorned with
contrivances from which patrons
could secure opera glasses by drop
ping dime in the slot. There were
features about this arrangement that
left much to be desired by persons who
were inclined to be fussy or sensitive.
The glasses we're of the variety that
generally made the stage and the
stage people resemble an upside dow
show at Coney Island in the old days,
and if the artificial aid to vision pro-
vided by thoughtful management
were used to any extent, the astig-
matte effect invariably produced head
ache. Moreover, in order to guard
against the possible absent-minded
ness of the theatres patrons the
glasses were secured to the seat by
about four feet of heavy dog chain,
and the clanking ana jingling of this
chain was calculated to make the user
OF the convenience blush and feel like
an escaped convict.
The patent dime-in-the-slot opera
glass arrangement remained in vogue
long time and then it gradually dis
appeared. About this time the rule
that women should remove their hats
in theatres began to be agitated. and
70 encourage the custom the managers
installed on the back Of every second
seat wooden knob with a hole in 1t,
so that lad might hang up her hat
and spear it so it would stay. The OBJ
vious disadvantage was that she was
obliged to unspear the hat and hold 1t
high in the air whenever anyone had
TO squeeze by to other seats. Besides
the contrivsnce was free TO the users
and there was legitimate source OF
revenue wasted. So the fashion
changed again, and for some time the
up-to-date theatre seat has borne a
fiat iron box which. when one drops
dime in the slot and turns knob,
gives up thin little box containing
J six small chocolate peppermints. II
Extreme care is not used the box is
apt to jump out violently and smite
the patron in the face. Outside the

Evening Gowns.
a certain well-known

At a certain well-known dress
makers l met several smart dinner
gowns. Among the new materials is
"a sort of a moire, soft, and fine-tex.
tured, and quite unlike the hard. stir
emoires worn by our grandmothers.
One gown of this new stuff was In
deep cream color, made in princess
style, but with note of empire
mode in the form of the bodice. A
square, high-waisted effect was pro-
duced by broad drapings, and the
bodice-cut extremely low-had q
straight band of crystal trimming in
front, at the back, and brought over
the shoulders. This crystal" work
has the charm of novelty, and is
formed of long, fiat beads, in what
looks like white glass, and which gilt
tiers with every movement of the
wearer. The sleeves of this gown
were rather full and ended above the
elbow; and the skirt-perfectly cut
was kept entirely plain, without frills.
founces or any sort of ornament. I
was told that this model could be re-
peated with trimmings of gold or else
of silver, in the form of silver roses,
arranged as sort of wreath around
the bodice. And to my mind, this
latter style appeals to one more
strongly than the crystal beadins-in
fact, / marked cream moire and
silver frock for my own, to be worn
for the half-mourning with which we
are faced. Then another lovely gown
appeared in black chiffon, frightened
with dainty touches of gold embroid-
cry. By the way, one of the new no
lions is to have CLEANS of gold upon
almost everything toques,
evening frocks, smart day dresses,
even on plain, short-skirted tailor
costumes. And gold tissue-or
cloth of gold, as it is often termed
seems much sed as the groundwork of
elaborate diner-gowns. One charm
ing instance Of this was provided by
an entire dress of Irish lace, arranged
over close-fitting princess robe of
golden tissue. This lace cost over
$50, and the sum-total of the entire
costume recalled the prices quoted
in recent sensational lawsuit But
it must be remembered that the Irish
lace overdress means more or less
of permanent possession.
Velvet gowns are likely to be worn
well into the summer, and the other
evening | saw a lovely gray velvet at
the Savoy Hotel. The gray was
soft dove color, and the gown made in
princess style, with long straight
lines, and skirt entirely untrimmed.
BY the way, this clever simplicity is
Of itself the sign of true artist, as
the second-rate dressmaker of every
day life is apt to conceal her faults
of cut and style by load of tucks,
flouces and heavy trimmings To re-
turn to the gray velvet. The cofdness
of coloring was given touch of
warmth by dainty embroideries in
pale pink, green and maize on fine
white muslin which trimmed the
pointed bodice, and formed ruffles at
the edge of the elbow sleeves Some
fine rubies were worn with this cos
tune.

For Spring and Summer.

AS summer comes on the gown of
skirt and waist will undoubtedly make
It's appearance again, to be worn, on
cool days. with a covert cloth coat.
Soft finished taffetas and the perennial
India silk will be used again for these
frocks, with collar and cuffs of lawn
to give a freshness at neck and wrists.
Pongees, too. will be found practical
for everyday gowns, for pongee in the
natural color cleans beautifully, and
in all shades it is cool and serviceable.
1t sheds the dust, too-a decided rec
ommendation for travelling gown.
Voiles and CLEANLINESS with trimming
OF silk folds or braid make the best
street suits for early summer. Such
frocks, when made with skirt and
waist, will do duty next winter for
afternoons at home by the addition of
some pretty lace on the waist and a
little freshening if they look shabby.
Among the new fabrics of the sea-
son are to be found many old favor
ties, some under new names and in
different weaves, others practically
unchanged. Taffeta silks in soft finish
and of the finest quality to be seen,
plain and figured and with the eyelet
embroidery, and in white, black and
colors, and in changeable as well as
plain effects, so that no summer outfit
will be considered complete without
at least one taffeta gown. After all.
there are few gowns so serviceable,
and although there has been with
some women prejudice against taft
feta silk, that prejudice is being grad
ually forgotten, as the new silks wear
much better than those of few years
ago.
There is something decidedly novel
and unique in the way lace is now
put on many of the evening gowns,
fiat across the top of the waist, in
both the front and the back, and yet
with sufficient fitness to look wider
than the broad girdle or draped folds
of the waist below A tucker of fine
net held in place with narrow rib
bon or gatheringstring is. also a new
touch, and one that is most becom-
ing, for with it the gown can be cut
much more decollete without being
at all immodest. On the sleeves
there must be also the fat bands OF
lace either at the top or bottom Of
the sleeve or just through the center
whichever best carries out the style.
The elbow sleeves often have ruff
fles added now.
For summer the sheer lawns and
chiffons are most approved, and the
different weaves of oriental silks.
There are some charming fabrics
among these last, with woven self
colored designs or in plain effects, at
about fifty cents yard, which make
up well and are not too costly for
morning wear or too simple for aft
ernoon tea gowns. In pale colors,
with lace ruff1es, applique of lace, and
oriental embroideries, they give very
smart effects at small expense

Blue and white, in soft array,
Over the meadows the violets lay.
Lowly and meek, asif kneeling to pray.
A little brook goeth murmuring by,
Singing its tenderest lullaby,
While softly the violets stir and sigh
And to the MOSES gently cling,
And dainty bits of color fling
Over the meadows waving.
List as they whisper soft and low,
To the warm earth heart below,
Where all sweet treasures spring and
grow.
And the sweet birds in yonder tree
Sings to the violets merrily.
Sending his heart out cheerily.
And fieeting shadows come and go
over the grasses. swift and slow,
Down where the blossome bloom be-
low.
Little violets, dainty and fair,
This one brief hour, oh, let me share
The spirit of your sweetness rare.

This wa just what the camera man
wanted and he prepared to shoot
them. AS they approached the en-.

aimed and the button pressed. Mr.
Lehr saw the performance and passed
on with nothing more than a look at
the man. In short time he appeared
again on the scene, this time armed

the Photographer: The latter had
moved on a little way down the ave

the man he grabbed him by the collar
and pushed him into the store and
shut the door behind them. Mrs. Lehr
