A very important project which is

TRIMMING FOR LACE BLOUSE.
Touch Of the Dress Material 10 ar
Idea Much Liked.

The idea Of garnishing lace blouse
with a touch of the dress material
finds favor among well-dressed women,
especially if the frock is built of silk
or satin. The line is not drawn upon
voiles and other exquisite sheer silk
and wool fabrics. however. The only
drawback to this vogue is that it in.
capacitates the blouse for wear with
other gowns. being limited to the
three-piece suit rage.
One detail in which the material of
the gown is repeated in trimming a
blouse is the girdle. If the belt does
not match the dress then it, sans
doute, corresponds with the blouse it.

is of ecru null. tucked and trimmed

The belt is ia feet long. It took
the centers Of the hides Of 226 steers
to make 1t, and each piece Of this
leather was separately stretched be-
fore being placed in the belt. In put
ting the belt together no pegs, rivets

Houdini's Statue Of Washington.

house of representatives and resound.
ed to the oratory of Webster, Clay,
Adams, Calhoun and other giants of
the republic, it was generally conced-
ed to be the most beautiful legislative
hall in the world. AS time went on,
however, and repairs became neces-
sary, motives of economy or misguid-
ed judgment, caused some Improve
ments" to be made that did not justi-
fy the name. To undo some of this
work is the object of the present task
for which congress at its last session
provided funds.
Accordingly, for weeks past the
marble figures in statuary hall have
been boxed up and the big apartment
has been filled with scaffolding, while
dozens of workmen have been busily
engaged in restoring this part of the
capitol to the state. even as to details,
originally intended. Incidentally it
may be remarked that there is to be
corresponding removal of the OBJ
noXious paint from the crypt under
the great dome, which was designed
to be the tomb of George Washington,
but was never used for that purpose.
Here also are stately pillars-a colon
made of Doric columns with groined
ceiling. which will take on a new dig
nifty when relieved of the disfiguring
coats of paint applied during long
succession of years.
But the restoration of the meeting
place of the house of representatives
during a most important period of the
nations history will not end with the
restoration of the pristine glory of the
semicircular. walls. Two of the old
stairways which led from the legisla-
tive hall to what was formerly the
mems gallery and the women's gallery
have been rediscovered and opened,
and the mems gallery will be restored
to the original condition which char
acteriZed it when more than half a
century ago it was daily crowded with
visitors who gathered to hear the
most memorable debates of the anti.
slavery crisis and other exciting peri.
DDS. The steps of this old stairway
are of solid blocks of sandstone and
of rather quaint design, and in each
step. a little to the left of the middle,
a distinct depression has been made
by the trod of the countless visitors
who passed up and down in the olden
times
Probably the most interesting
statue in the entire collection in statu-
AIRY hall is the replica of Houdon's
statue of George Washinton, the orig
inal being in the capitol at Richmond.
Sculptor Houdon was permitted to
make casts and measurements of
Washington's person, and consequent
ly his sculptured figure depicts the
father of his country exactly as he
was i'll real life. Great interest also
attaches to the only statue of wom-

NEW COATS ARE PICTURESQUE.
All Varieties Of Models Are Worn by
Fashion Leaders.

We have for some years past been
accustoming ourselves to gorgeous
and picturesque evening cloaks, but
now art and luxury have been called
into play in wraps for all purposes,
and, though the severe and conserva.
tive coat still has its time and place,
there are few times and places for
which a woman can not secure a pic
ture coat.
Cape models are increasingly popu-
lar, but an amazing amount of variety
Is obtained in these lines through clev-
er drapery for sleeve purposes. Many
OF the capes hang straight and long
IN front and back, but are so cut that
they may be caught up in deep plaits
to elbow length at each side in order
to allow play to the arms.
The kimono sleeve is epidemic in
the cloak realm as in that of the lit.
tie suit coat, and Chinese and Japan
csc ideas are in high favor with
French designers. Delightful little
short mandarin coats in dull blue,
richly embroidered in blues and vel
lows and made upon the true oriental
lines, have been brought over by some
Importers and are delectable little
things to slip on over an airy summer
frock in white or in a color with
which the blue will not clash.
Short loose coats of taffeta in white
or delicate color. deliberately embroid.

also among the imported short coats
