Gorgeous Costume Worn
by Partisan Beauty

A perfectly plain tailor gown in cloth
is being thrust aside for only simplest
morning wear, according to a Paris
letter to Vogue. For afternoon the
tailored costume is enriched with
most elaborate braidings and silk en-
broideries in self color, the coats be-
ing a mass of handwork, making the
cost of the costume something fearful
to contemplate. At the races the
other day beautiful Nine. Salvage
launched a long tight redingote in
baby lamb, its fronts pointed, its sides
slashed open, while the back breadth,
only slightly curving into the waist
line, falls longer again in cascading
outline 1t has long close sleeves, and
long lines of black silk braid down all
the seams and on all the edges, while
the base of the tails and of the pointed
fronts, as we'll as bust and sleeve tops,
are completely covered with heavy,
highly raised black silk embroidery
mixed with soutache. On the fronts
and all down the sleeve lengths there
were black silk tassels. This coat was
lined with white chiffon shingles, Dor
dered with a pretty colored en-
broidery, and it was worn open to
show a pale canary-colored suede
waistcoat embroidered in colors, and a
tight-fltting, long canary-colored cloth
skirt bordered with a band of sable.
Her hat was tall Hugenot in rough
black silk felt with narrow brim
rolled up very much on one side, the
whole rather big of crown and sitting
low about her head. The hat was cir
cled with a band of sable and at one
| side there was large black tuft of
| aigrettes. This hat sat very little
bit back on the head, showing the en-
circling braid of hair which pressed
low about the head and ended in a
bunch of puffs on each side of black
coil

Long and Graceful
Are the New Skirts

All skirts are now extremely long
and in most cases exceedingly grace
full in outline, but whereas before this
wide fare about the feet has been
sought after in even the most supple
and slinky materials, now all ruffies
and fiounces are done away with, even
the stiff taffeta flounces on the upper
petticoat being abolished. In front the
hem must lie on the ground just
enough to make it possible to walk
without stepping on the material,
while on the sides some inches have
been added to the accepted length of
last year, and in the back, too, the
train is decided feature Of the skirt.
Naturally, when all must be done to
give height and slenderness to the
figure, folds, tucks, plaits, ruffles and
flounces disappear as though they had
never been in existence. This does
not mean, however, that all trimming
is thing of the past, for the elaborate
hand embroidery was never more
beautiful than that on many of the
newest evening models. Wide bands
of solid embroidery with gold, silver
and steel spangles and pale colored
iridescent pailettes introduced in the
pattern by being placed about the
very border of the skirt help to keep
the material we'll down and clinging
without any ugly slinkiness, and serve
to accentuate all long and slender
lines. This embroidery may also be
carried up on the skirt in long points,
or on a net gown lines Of rhinestones
or pailettes may be carried down the
skirt from the belt to merge into the
wide embroidered band at the end.

Saloons for Women.

when / was in Berlin" said n
clergyman" had enough curiosity IN
visit one of the peculiar saloons for
women that they have there. The
place interested me, and | am bound
to say that it was decently conducted.
Berlin is the only city in the world
that has those institutions. In our
country, where the women are nearly
all teetotalers, we don't need them. In
England they don't need them because
English women of the lower classes
enter the public houses and lean
against the bar and sip their beer
with as much nonchalance as their
husbands.
In this female saloon in Berlin
about 25 females were gathered. They
looked poor, but respectable, Some
were smoking-cigarettes and cigars
some read the papers, and in a cor.
ner a little group argued noisily over
an article in a fashion magazine.

and he wiggles his feet and ears in
quite an amiable fashion.
Charles Van Zandt, who owns a sill.
yer mine near Butte, Mont, and Ed.
ward King, his superintendent, were
sinking a shaft seven months ago,
when they encountered Rameses, as
he is now called, fully 200 feet below
the surface. He was cozily ensconsed
in a pocket of rock. the only crack in
which had been caused by the mining
operations. 1t was that fact that
caused the surprise when they found
the toad VISA alive, although exceed
ingly somnolent. He was nearly blind
then from having been so long in the
dark, but he was breathing.
Having heard theories of suspended
animation, Mr.. Van Zandt took Ra-
meses to his bosom, warmed him up
bit, and then deposited him in jar
Theoretically sealed. He kept him so
until a few days ago, when he sent
him on to the Bronx menagerie, hav-
ing become thoroughly satisfied that
the theory was plausible.
In the meantime examination of the
rock where Rameses was found re-
vealed nothing in the way of assure
that could have been made before the
sinking of the shaft, and the belief
Is that the toad crawled into a crevice
that closed after him, perhaps in pre-
historic times, at least so far as this
country is concerned
DR.. Ditmar said that he had inves
tigated the matter and had no reason
to doubt its truth.
There are no riffs in the rock at
ALL" he said, and it is we'll known
that if a toad crawls into a dark and
cold place, such as that where he was
found, the ordinary functions of life
may become suspended indefinitely.
This toad was found several hundred
feet below the surface of the earth,
and there is no telling how long he
may have been there. 1t might have
been 800 years or even more"
