OUR NEW YORK
WEEKLY LETTER
oprins Fashions In Colors and Fabrics,
and Shirt Waist Patterns.

AS soon as the SHOWS of January be-
gin to fall the southern exodus takes
place and some of the most fashionable
gowns of the season are travelling south
to make gay with beauty and color
those sunny, southern towns. Snow
and ice, sleet and hail are left behind,
with slippery sidewalks, to the unfortu-
mates who have to remain. What Il
pity every one cannot HE away from
busy, wintry New York, with trunks
filed with fluffy. floating, fascinating
things that are only made for verandas
and shaded magnolia walks.
A gown builder on Fifth avenue has
Just finished one of these gowns for a
well known society girl to take south.
1t Is the familiar but ever beautiful
combination of white cloth and lace,
made up in princess fashion, with a
stunning little bolero of lace
If Paris is the birthplace of novelties,
New York can quickly make use of
them. A young lady who always does
her shopping in Paris and London came
home recently congratulating herself
on her exquisite gun metal costume Of
latest Partisan cut, only to find many of
her friends wearing the same thing

who had alighted from the train had
preceded him and We're now climbing
into the barge.
"Sanitarum, sir" inquired the shah
by man as Olmstead came up. "All
right, sir. Git right in. Let's have your
checks. I'll git your baggage"
The checks were handed over and
while the driver was getting the trunks
Olmstead looked over the other occu-
pants of the barge. There were one
man and three women. The man and
two of the women We're typical con-
sumptives-narrow chested and hollow
checked. Now and then they coughed
spaSmodically. They We're poorly dress
ell and evidently of the class who
availed themselves of the states chart
ty fund TO bring them here.
The other woman was Of an entirely
different type. She was we'll dressed
and young. In the dim light from the
station lamps Olmstead could see she
was decidedly pretty. She did not
cough, nor was she hollow checked like
the rest. OlmStcad made two mental
dccisions-that she was pay patient
and that her case WAS not as yet Il
very serious one. He felt Il sudden
thrill of pity that she should be here,
SO evidently was she at odds with the
dreary surroundings.
The driver returned with the trunks
and bags on truck. With the station
the rear of the barge and the drive to
the Santarium was begun. 1t was over
a rough sandy road, lined with gloomy
pines through which the wind howlcd
diSmally.
O'mstcad unroled his steamer rugs
and offered them to the women, two Of
whom We're shivcrinS mScrably. The
younger woman greeted this act of
courtesy with a pretty smile of ac-
acknowledgement that quirkcucd his
pulSU"
"Thry might Mt least have some blan-
kctS in the barge" lac said.
1T would aorm So" was her quiet,
nonrommittal reply. and then there was
silence until the sauitarium was
reached.
Olms;cad paid in advance, received
hurried examination from one of the
physicians and was assigned room on
tie second floor. At the supper table
he met tn" young woman again. She
smiled and nodded rs he took his seat
opposite her.

BALL AND CONCERT ROOM.

Ladies who pass the presence at their
maJesties' court are requested to be
kind enough to remember that their
trains, which are spread by the pages
on entering the throne room, should
be kept down until they are picked up
and restored to them by the pages who
will be in attendance at the exit door
for that purpose" To-day, we are told,
the debutante may absolutely trust
to the exquisite and ceremonious care
which will attend her every footstep on
the way from the palace door to their
majesties' presence
Queen Charlotte held evening draw
ing-rooms; William w. and Adelaide
preferred to hold them by day, as did
Queen Victoria. King Edward and
Queen Alexandra held no drawing
room during the year of mourning for
Victoria, and when at last formal an
nouncement was promised of resump-
ton of the ceremonious function, all
were agog to see what changes would
be introduced. The following were
made; Change from afternoon to even
ing, an evening court; attendance and
presentation by invitation only.
In the old days the company used to
faint for bite and sup. In the present
rule there Is supper, superbly served
affair. Queen Victoria did not care
for residence at buckingham, but Ed
ward and Alexandra reside in the oal-
ace, and the kitchens are in practical
working order, guests at an evening
court sup delicately. Usually BY one
o'clock the general company mas de-
parted, many to make visit in the
wee sma.. hours to photographers, who
will have fiashlight all ready to "take"
the wonderful presentation costume:
not few to finish the night at parties
given in honor of the presentation &C.
casion. Formerly grand fternoon teas.
called peacock or train teas, were the
custom-the fair debutantes arrayed in
all their glory. Still farther back was
custom which seems to us very Eng
fish indeed, driving in state in Hyde
Park, public display of costume and
fact of court presentation.
In the early days of the reign of
Queen Victoria very splendid drawing
rooms were held. Bur as age and sor-
row descended, the queen was wont to
retire after receiving the corps
diplomatique and the entree people.
RELOCATING her duties to Princess Alex
andra. It was in 1862 Alexandra held
her first drawing-room, at the time a
bride of 19. 1t was great occasion.
for four hours the young princess un-
weariedly bowed and smiled to the
throngs; over 1000 women and several
hundred men were present that day.
All sang praises to the lovely ady
representing the queen, and Ions re4
membered the picture made that May
day by the princess of Wales in her
gown of bridal white looped up with
sprays of lilac blossoms.

CHURCH cHASES SALOON.
Religious Edifico ON Wheels Moves
About Town Wherever Most

Ph1ladelphia.-The is in Philadel-
phia lively little church which is in.
dulging in merry chase after saloons
of this city, much to the discomfort
OF the men behind the bars.
This little religious edif1ce Is on
wheels. and it has instigated one of the
diveliest campaigns against the selling
OF liquor ever waged.
This little church always has been a
mission church. going hither and yon
Wherever 1t seemed to be the most
needed, but 1t has only recently entered
so actively upon the temperance field.
Wherever the pastor of this perambu-
lating church and his assistant, Harry
A. Machey, learn that a man is apply
ing for license in new district they
walt until the application has ben filed
and then, picking up their little
church. walk to within few feet of
the spot, plan their edifice and then
enter protest against the establishing
of saloon.
Fourteen times-and 1t has been
working only a few weeks-has this
church chased would-be saloonkeeper
out or business. 1t always has con-
gregation of more than so souls, and
so can rightly term itself thorough
bred church, with all accessories &C.
corded to stone edifice. The congre-
cation almost gleefully follow their
vagrant church and they have grand
rally meetings after every successful
fight against the establishment of a sa-
loon.
1t will not be long before other mis-
sion churches on wheels will enter this
crusade against the selling of liquor,
and they will be able to put up one of
the biggest fights ever waged against
the saloonkeeper. They have the law
with them and the sheer humor of the
situation will render a would-be sa-
loonkeeper helpless with the judge.

and number of influential temper
ance advocates are backing him, SO
that the money is always Forthcoming
when he desires to lease lot for his
church, and he feels it no hardship If
the exigencies of the case make him
deem 1t wise to set the wheels of his
church moving before lease has ex-
pired. He always secures the land
Tor the very shortest possible time, sub
ject to renewal, and thus, while not
binding himself and his church un-
necessarily, he lends an air of perma-
necy to the action, which justifies him
in telling the Judge that he does not
know how long he will remain.

FRENCH INDUSTRIAL ARTS.
The Application of Higher Training
to Trade Is Everywhere
Apparent.

Consul Goldschmidt, of Nantes. con-
tributes an extended article on indus
trial art education In France and It's
influence upon French Industries. He
says In part:
There are at present in France,
aside from the national art schools.
300 provincial and municipal schools
OF fine arts, which are free to young
men and women. While leaving to
each school the development of the
line of art suited to local needs, the
state gives direction by annual visits
of inspectors of drawing. The applica-
ton to trade is practical and complete.
The administration of fine arts se-
lects and sends the greater part of the
models useful to instruction, gives
prizes, scholarships, purses and en-
couragement to pupils who have dis
tinguished themselves during their
course of studies. The influence of ar
tistic training upon the industries of
France Is paramount, and the ordinary
observer Is struck at once when ex-
aiming an article in the French shops
of home manufacture of It's superiority
over similar goods made In other coun-
tries. II one visits an art gallery or a
museum in France on Sunday, the
may be witnessed in the arts and
sciences. A conversation with these
workers reveals a general interest of
the masses in matters of art and Its
general application"

On Tipping the Hat

New Workers still cling to the an
cient custom of tipping their hats
when greeting male friend or ac-
quaintance. 1t is common sight to
a staid. prosperous looking business
man as he passes an acquaintance tip
ping his hat, although the other is
alone, and unaccompanied by q wom-
an. 1t is the same after a party has
been together somewhere, at dinner
probably, or at the theater. You will
notice that as one separates himself
from the others he will say good
night, or au revoir, and then tip his
hat. Also. when one man Is intro
duced to another, 1t is dollars to a
subway ticket that he will lift his
chapeau. Wonder why 1t is? They
don't do it In sburg?-Pittsburg
