finely pulled to the waist band. and at in
tervals down the length the fulness was
held in by fine pick ed up shirring follow
ing double festoon lines. There were
four OF these shirred lines before the tulle
was left 10 fall full to satin hem. and
midway between the shirs double garlands
Of the tiniest pink roses were festooned
from front lace panel TO back panel,
following the two loop festoon line OF
the shirs
The short, fulled d6coiete bodice had
a front panel Of lace like that on the SIX irt
and garlands of roses were looped over
the shoulders and caught up in front.
This was copied from French sketch,
but another evening frock designed by
the dressmaker herself and quite as
charming was a white tulle over gold
tissue, the white lightly sprinkled with
tiny crystal beads at wide intervals and
trimmed with a band trimming Of net on
which ran fine lines OF bugles alternately
clear crystal and gold color crystal.
The evening gown OF the cut in satin
and chiffon lightly embroidered with
gold follows lines much admired and not
too radical. One sees numerous models
in satin draped over net or chiffon and
also in the sheer material draped over
clinging satin, and some curious arrange
ments are shown in these draperiee.
One French frock in supplest crepe
chsr1neuse was Of the loose yet clinging
princess form. shortened hardly at all at
the waist and quite plain from the en-
broidery band bordering the decolletage
to the bottom Of the robe. Nothing in
terfered with the plainness and straight
ness Of this front effect, but in the back
net matching the crepe in color was
shirred straight across the square cut
decolletage and fell straight and full
from there 10 the end OF the train, q bor-
der OF embroidery running around the
entire drapery
The drapery effect illustrated in this
rose colored silk voile and crepe evening
frock Of the sketch is popular and
particularly gcod in the crepe, since it
calls for exceeding softness.
There seems to be a growing liking for
surfaces less highly lustrous than the high
finish satins ard some OF the bandsomest
orepes meet this requirement admirably,
as does cachemire de sole, whose popu-
larity will certainly hold over into the
coming summer.
OF the experimental linen models we
have already said much. They continue
to appear in more or less attractive guise
and touch Of black relieves great many
Of them. The big jet buttons Of which
we have spoken before in connection with
white and light color linens and serges
have appeared too early and been ex-
plotted too generally to last through the
season-or at least to be really smart
later on; but collars and cuffs and crava Ia
Of black may endure. Black watsred silk
is very frequently selected for the pur-
pose and the effect is usually good.
Black moire almost as soft as satin and
lovely Of weave, is very much fanoied
also for separate coats and numbers Of
such coats have gone South in modish
outfits. Faille and ottoman are also used
for the separate goats and we have seen
some very good looking dressy coats Of

WESTCHESTER COUNTY SLAVES.
Enough Freed IN 1850 TO Form Two
Separate villages.

Negro slavery existed in Westchester
county almost from its first white settle
ment, the negroes for the most part
coming from the West Indies. In 1895
however, a cargo OF them was landed at
Rye direct from the coast OF Guinea.
These slaves we're brought here by direc-
ton Of Frederick Phiuipse OF Phillipse
Manor. At no time did the slave popula-
tion OF the county become very large.
In 1897 at the Purchase Quarterly
Meeting, the question OF longer holding
the negroes in their families as slaves
came before that body-and minute
was made thereon. Finally, says the
Westchester County Magazine, after years
Of consideration. the sentiment OF FREQ
dom prevailed and in l779 no friend or
Quaker in Westchester county held
human chattel.
With the granting OF freedom TO these
bondmen two important settlements were
effected. made up entirely of those VINO
had been slaves; one near the village OF
Bedford and the other east Of the village
OF White Plains. All slaves in the State
were made free on July 4,ls27.

in reserve, but In feeling sure that while
some new ideas may be launched the more

ideas will be retained.

confirm this estimate. and successful new

admired in London, and are in new mate
rials and colorings; but, as will be seen
from ak etches Of two Of these frocks
which are reproduced here there is noth-
ing unfamiliar about the general char
acter of the models.
A curiously knotted skirt drapcrv and
the way in which scarfs Of the crepe are

striking details of the yellow crepe frock /;
aud the foulard, while altogether graceful

remonioIt skirt. This model. however,
would be excellent for any pretty

for no elaborate hand work or other trim
