Special Correspondence OF The Star.


PARIS. April 4. 1908.
rE anticipation of the post-Easter fes-
tivities, many hostesses and young
people are occupied in devising new
u cotillon figures. for no dancing party
here in Paris is complete without a
cotillon The latest ideas are the NAL
tese Cross Stars and Stripes. Diabolo
and Casablanca. The last named consists
in Disgusting a given number of men like
Arabs with sheets and pillowcases and
masking them beneath the eyes with
handkerchiefs. Thus wrapped up and tick
eted with number. they are introduced
into the dancing room. The leader then
chooses a number of girls slightly exceed
ing that of the disguised figures and It is
their duty to guess the names of the per-
sons hidden beneath the sheets and pill
lowcases. the successful guessers finish
ing with the inevitable waltz.
Ia the Diabolo figure the room is di-
vided into two parts by a rope or ribbon
the men placing themselves on one side
and the girls on the other. The latter
are given balloons in the shape OF diabo-
los in different shades to match the rib
hons on the sticks. The dfaboloS are
thrown over the men at a given signal.
anI the man fortunate enough to catch
and burst a balloon is rewarded by a
In Stars and Stripes the leader takes
eight long pieces of ribbon. tying them
together in the middle and holding the
knot hidden in the hand. Eight girls
and the same number of men each take
Il ribbon end in the right hand. the men
one side of the leader, the girls on
til, other. Then they all dance round.
When the leader drops the ribbons those
who are left holding the same piece of
ribbon dance together. Some new dances
also have been introduced into the CO.
tillon.
Good Taste in Dress.
Some one-a member of the fair SEX /
am almost sure-has said. "A woman
would rather be praised for her taste in
dress than be credited with the possession
Of all the cardinal virtues" There is GER
tanly every opportunity for her to exer-
else this heaven-given gift this season.
Materials are lovely. styles are becoming
and the color schemes are alluring. But
every woman who has any apprecia-
ton of the dress subject realizes that the
responsibility in nowise ends when the
materials and styles are chosen. Indeed.
it Is in the small details of the frock that
the note of distinction otherwise is
struck. and a well-dressed woman more
often achieves her reputation by a quick
appreciation of and attention to these de-
tails than by anything else. Above all
these details the WaiStcoat stands out SUI
preme this year. 1t figures in almost ev-
cry smart gown for outdoor wear and is
responsible for not little costume ex

Cravats Expensive.

The cravat question is another one that
is almost startling in its eXpensveness.
for one can spend a great deal simply
upon the matter Of being we'll supplied
with cravats. The popular one at this
moment is a cravat that is made of sew
eral rows OF lace. one below the other, Ia
form a jabot effect. This is secured at
the top to a butterfly bow of lace which
is pinned to the collar with a fancy pin.
Another popular style of lace cravat Is
the elaborate all lace bow. which is pin
ned with jewel at the throat.

For Waist Trimmings.

One of the prettiest of trimmings for
hummer can be fashioned from medallions
of lace. nainsook or other embroidery
each edged with a tiny frill of vaien-

to keep as near as possible TO the con-

Empire Style of Headdress.

Young women in society have taken
strong liking for the empire style of head
dress, and to many of them. 1t must be
confessed, 1t is most unbecomng. as only
certain faces can look even half we'll I'M

In the more modern pueblos more at
tention is paid to symmetry
This architecture differs widely from
the Spanish or mission architecture, Win
which il is often confused
The pueblo had many modern ideas en-
bodied in its architecture. such as the
open vestibule. which served as pro-
lection from storm. and since the roofs
were used extensively in place of yards,
the high parapet became practical
feature.
1t was the custom to extend one wall
beyond the intersection at the corner as a
windbreak This was an invaluable ad-
vantage since these villages were built
principally on high emasses and mountain
sides. Some pueblos have round towers
al the corners.
The roofs are all fiat and made Of
adobe being drained by means of water
Spouts extending through the parapets.
The rooms were either square. or, If en-
larged. made just double. The windows
were very small and set on the inner sur
face of the thick wall All decorations
were very plain.
In fact simplicity marked every step
of the way in the constructor or pueblo,
not a bit of material or labor being
barred, straight lines prevailing abso-
lutely.

and the history of the redskins In this
country can be traced almost without
break in these rude aboriginal drawings.
There are Indian blankets on the floor
and Indian objects scattered throughout
all the rooms. In fact. the impression
made by visit 10 these modern proto-
types of ancient buildings is as though
the visitors were seeing Anglo-SaXons

Bridal Superstitions.
When the bride puts on the wedding
dress she mnst be very careful not to rip
or tear it-not even bit of lace-nor
should she pick up anything on it. for
this. too. is bad sign. If. however.
anything be torn it should not be sewn.
for each stitch brings tears and misfo--
tunes In English society bits of court
plaster are used for such emergencies.
The bride should admire her dress be-
fore the wdding day for if it is COM
pleted and she looks in the mirror on her
wedding day each glance means mis-
fortune.
1t is an awful sign for the bride to
look back over her shoulder. for this is a
sign that she looks back to the past with
a heavy heart and does not look to the
future with joy. If she should see her
self in the mirror when thus looking back
all luck is gone from this wedding.

Tailored Blouses.

BIouses for wear with the spring tail

pie lines Their style depends entirely on
correctness Of cut and the smartncss OF

though NJ Worth is credited with being
the designer OF this gown.
By the way. it is interesting to watch
the dress moods Of famous artists at the
Vile Luminiere. Paris, formerly the
slave of one dressmaker, the famous
Worth, has not many real couturiers to
choose FROM There is, for instance, Pa
quin, who prefers the personal atmos-
phere in his creations, his aim being to
create dress to suit the wearer. Beer.
on the other hand, is a colorist as we'll as
an artist devoted to the line. or. as the
PariSienne would say, ligne. He is a mas
ter in the combination of nuances. and his
gowns are charming. Douiilet is the So
called apostle of simplicity, but of a SIM
plicity that only conceals the science of
harmony and one that brings out the
grace of cut Then there is Drecoll. that
prince of all that is tailor made. But this
season these couturierS. by common con-
sent and in their own individual manner.
have adopted the soft, clinging lines and
are exploiting classic revivals. The sea-
sons fabrics seem to demand this treat
ment. and the present day women. too,
suit the classic lines, or is it the classic
lines that suit them? Whatever way one
puts the question the results are delight
full.
An Alarming Suggestion.
The other day the alarming suggestion
was made of putting all the cocks ahead
by law in order to gain a couple of hours
more of daylight. This idea may be all
very lovely in theary, but 1t is not likely
to find favor in the eyes of the general
public. While most people have more
in the day. 1t Is more than doubtful
whether many of them would welcome
with joy any scheme which would involve
the shortening of the night. In Paris it
is as impossible to go to bed early as it
is to get up early. The latest city In
Europe, the only time when 1t may be
said really to sleep is during the hours
after the milk carts have ratified down the
streets and before the shutters have been
taken down from the shops. AS the sun
rises in the heavens our SAUNDERS become
