even in the matter of hatpins. One smart
shop Is showing pins with ball heads one
and half inches In diameter, having the
effect of tiny beaded work in Japanese
patterns. Open-head gold hatpins are
also counted very smart, these being u.s.
ually set with colored stones. The amber
pins, and what Is more general, the imita-
tion amber pins, continue In vogue, the
only change from last season being that
they are, II anything, larger in size
At last there is a rival for the chain
mesh bags. The very latest thing In small
purses Is Of silver, little purse about
FIVE inches wide by three and half
broad. The chief feature, however, Is in
the third dimension thickness--as this
purse, instead of being fat, as we usually
find the metal purses, Is swelled out
to thickness of something like one and
half inches. which gives 1t comfort
able capacity. These little purses vary
In size, the dimensions described being
that of the largest fashionable ones. They
are shown in plain silver, on which the
monogram may be engraved, and also
combinations of plain and engraved Sill
yer, and In gray silver finish.
The very latest fad In note papers runs
in delicate tlnts, with the envelopes lined
In sharply contrasting color. This lin
ing of the envelope permits of using
very thin quality of puper without the
possibility Of one's correspondence being
read through the thin covering. Faint
grayish lavender tones, with lining In
dark mahogany red, duh greens and
chocolate browns, are shown In some Of
the smart stationers' shops. The mono
gram or address on the paper is done In
color that matches the lining Of the
envelope.

this design into their blankets and bas-

the common people of India, China and
Japan, and Is symbol of long life, good

Every season or SO we observe some
novelty in Jewelry. that appears quite
modestly at first and then suddenly be-
comes of such popularity that it is seen
everywhere, from Sixth avenue to Fifth.
and from the popular-priced department
store to the most fashionable jewelers.
shops. How or why or when these things
come about it is hard to tell, but come
they do, and sweep all before them.
Some four or five years ago 1t was the
little bar pin set In straight lines with
brilliants or pearls. These came, and
came to stay, and well they might, since
they are extremely attractive, and fur
thermore, useful, and may be had in ex-
cellent qualities for very little money.
Last summer Knlckerbocker girl noted
for her smart dress came back from Paris
wearing a two-lnch horseshoe pin In her
collar This was set in brilliants, al
though this particular girl has so large
a personal income that she can afford to
wear rhinestones In her small orna-
ments-the luxuriousness of limitations
being confined to the very rich. The
horseshoe idea was taken up quite
promptly by the smart set, and a little
more slowly by the manufacturing jew

Particular women find 1t expedient to
wash their own silk stockings as the or
binary process of laundering Is most dis
astrous to their life and good looks. If
the stocking is of delicate tint. it is safe
to set the color by soaking in salt and
water for time before washing. This
setting of color applies, Of course, to the
first washing Of the stocking; thereafter
the stocking should be soaked a little
while In warm water, in which little
borax is dissolved. Then wash quickly In

Its silky quality. Stockings should be
squeezed dry. never wrung. White stock
ings should be dipped In water in which
a little blue Is dissolved; otherwise they
will turn yellow.
The lingerie petticoat is again n the
lead In fashion. The smart New York
woman has her tailored skirt clear four
or five inches, and wears underneath 1t
lingerie, lpetticoats, embroidery trimmed,
and of almost exactly the same length
as her dress skirt, so that as she walks
one catches occasional glimpses of a
white rufie. There is something exceed
ingly taking about this lingerie skirt Idea
since 1t permits and even demands, eter-
nal freshness In petticoats. OF course,
lingerie dresses would naturally take the
washable petticoat, but this novel use is
with the cloth tailored suit.
There is perfect craze for big-headed
pins In millinery this season. Not only
are the hats provided with these pins as
ornaments, but the two or three hatpins
reqpired to adjust the chapeau at Its
proper uncertain angle are also of enor-
nous size. The japanese craze is eyinced

Monotone Costumes.

The range of artistic and beautiful eff
fects in costumes for dressy wear con-
tinues to widen with each succeeding day.
Incoming steamers bear their precious
burdens of new ideas from the greatest
fashion artists Of the world, and Ameri-
can designers put forth models which
would do credit to the presiding genius
of Partisan atelier While there are
many new and novel details, the general
idea remains much the same as we nave
seen 1t since the appearance or the nrst
importations of the early spring. The
Japanese tendency is everywhere, and the
jumper appears in new and attractive
variations which but serve to add to Its
popularity.
Tho e-piece-suit idea is very strong
In these later models. 1t Is a mode
which has solved puzzling dress problems
for many women this season. The three
piece costume is really two costumes in
one. First, 1t is a dressy house frock,
suitable for any occasion calling for q
semidressy toilet, and with the addition
of the little coat 1t becomes a fetching
street costume for afternoon and informal
evening wear. Occasionally the effect is
varied by the substitution of dainty
lingerie or net blouse for the costume
bodice. -
The coats Of these suits are really their
most charming feature, being that part
upon which is lavished practically all of
the trimming, as the skirt is usually
quite plain and the bodice smart but
simple. No frils or furbelows to mar the
at of the coat are permissible on the
bodice. An example of these features Is
illustrated in a costume of voile In one
of the new dotted-striped designs, in col
orings of tan and white. The skirt is
simple paneled and founced model, with
two tucks above the hem forming Its
only trimming. The bodice is draped In
surplice fashion over the tight-ftting lin
ing of silk, boned snugly to the figure,
and finished at the waistline with a mar
row folded girdle of tan taffetas. There
is chemisette Of fine lace, and appliques
of cream embroidery are applied over the
shoulders In the form of a sailor collar.
Pipings of tan silk and tiny porcelain
buttons finish the fronts. Over this sim
ple bodice is worn the unique little jack
eta Jumper eton 1t might be called
made of tan taffetas and covered with
floral appliques in shades of tan and
brown. giving the effect of fine hand en-
broideries.
In some models the bodice is made of
chiffon or net in self color and trimmed
with the dress material.
Still another three-piece suit which has
but recently left Its French tissue wrap
pings to be displayed in the showrooms
of an exclusive metropolitan shop is q
poneta coat suit of palest tan taffetas
uniquely trimmed with cloth in the same
color.

objection to the lingerie bows that one

will not launder, and their life is. there

merry satins, lansdownes and poplins find
their most fascinating trimming in laces
which match the material either in color

Cream and deep butter-color laces are
also used, these in combination with pure
white laces and nets. This Is no doubt
the outgrowth. of the gold braid and butt

complement the gold trimmings. This Is

LAND OF MOTHER GOOSE.
Play Given To-day by Children for Free
  Kindergarten.

Some thirty or forty school children have been rehearsing for the past few weeks on an operetta called ''The Land of Mother Goose" and tonight and to- morrow afternoon at Harmonic hall they will give people an opportunity to see the result of their labors. The little play is given for the benefit of the Water street branch of the Elm City Free Kindergarten. The work of getting up the show is being done by the ladies of Queen Esther branch of the Sunshine society. Scenery and stage fitting have been obtained from a Boston amusement company by Col. I. M Ullman. Nothing of Mother Goose land is lacking. Little Miss enough to frighten Miss Muffett as any other little girl away King Cole has a huge fiddle and his fiddlers three are provided with smaller ones. The olo woman's shoe would make a suitable dwelling for large number of chh> dren, for 1t is twenty-five feet long and the holes in the toe are as big as small windows.
 The following cast have been re- hearsing:
 Mother Goose, Miss Ruth Lichenstein; Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, El- ma Strauss, Gertrude, Selma Kahn; Simple simon, simon Klelner Old King Cole, Chester Well; Miss Muffett, Jean, cite Simons; Mistress Mary, Ruth Selt- man; Jack and Jill, Esther Well and Regina Veil; Majorie Daw, Ruth Freedman; Robbie Shafto, Millie Green baum; Jack Horner, Edward Koch; Tommy Tucker, Francis Zunder; Jack Sprat, Maurice Strauss; Boy Blue, Jerome Lyman; Bo Peep, Marion Ull- man; Mary and her little lamb, Esther Adler; Curly Locks, Maurice Schwed; Green, Louis Osterweiss.
 What the giving of the operatta will mean to the many little children of the Italian colony who obtain their first knowledge of the English language and the first rudiments of an education in the Water street kindergarten is be- yond explanation here.
 col lh6 past tbieS yS1AS th0So tOts of the slums have found play, learning, and elevating influences in this free kindergarten. At present some 70 chil- dren are attending it and as the num- Der has increased so greatly of late that another store next to the present quar- ters has been rented for their accom- modation. It Is to pay the expenses of this that the show will be given and it is hoped that the public will show it's appreciation of these efforts by at tending 1t.

LOBBY QUESTION
 QUITE A LIVELY ONE New Twist Given to the Problem by Recent
 Developments. MIR. srPRRY's CHARGE Declares Lobbyists Have Appropriated Room in
 Capitol.
MIR. STPRRY'S CHARGE

A new twist is being given the lobby problem in the state of Connecticut by statements which assert that, while the lobbyist has deserted the corridors of the state capitol building, he still owns enough of that structure in fee simple to appropriate it's department rooms. In a public statement made by A. William Sperry, of this city, the well-known civil engineer, presenting the East Haven and Morris Cove troll ley enterprise this suggestive para graph ends a breezy defiance:
 The methods employed, both in and out of the legislative halls, in order to depreciate the E. II. & NJ. c. proposi- tion, would make interesting reading. For instance, the appropriatlng of room in the capitol which is occupied by the Consolidated's agents, who from there direct their campaign against the E. H. & M. c. road while the commit tee is in executive session" The legislative reporter of the Hart ford Times appears, too, to be in pos. session of facts which further reinforce the charge that the lobby occupies the halls of state at pleasure. He tells this story:
 Senator Atwater, of Meriden, had an experience the other day in the capitol which shows that the physical absence of lobbyists from the corridors cannot be taken as absolute proof that they have ceased to exercise an influence on legislation. The senator is inter- ested in the Morris Cove and the East Haven railroad matter, which is now before the general assembly, and he will do what he can to secure favora- be action on 1t. The Consolidated Railroad company is opposed to it. A gentleman from Litchfield county, whose genial presence is welcomed everywhere-in the lobby or in places where paths are less devious called on Senator AtWater in the senate and said that representative of the Con- solidated railroad desired to see him in the railroad commissioners office. The senator saw the railroad representa- tive and soon made it clear where he stood on the Morris Cove and East Ha- ven matter. It was not where the rail- road representative of the Consolidated road wanted him to stand.
 Senator Atwater did not deviate in the slightest from his position of friendliness to the East Haven and Morris Cove railroad"
 The friends of Governor Woodruff read these statements and news story with knowing smile, and one of them. at least, goes so far as to say that it has proved a good thing that the much -heralded resolution. which was to be Jointly introduced into the house and senate, asking his !excellency to make good his lobby charges. was side- l tracked,
