tifu1 and becoming than those Of to- day.
We have reached a period in which
picturesque effects are welded to ex-
tremely practical styles, and that is a
rare state Of affairs.
In the person Of Nine, Edmond Ros-
tand we have the picture woman at her
best. Nine Rostand is herself poet of
great charm She is also one Of the most
witty and delightful of women. a few
days ago Mime. Poincare, wife of the
President of the French, visited Arnaea
the beautiful Basque house which be-
longs TO Edmond Rostand and is sit
uated on the heights of Cambo. Nine.
Rostand received her distinguished guest

black Chantilly lace She wore a curl
Gus little velvet mantle bordered with
sable and carried in her hand long
cane, the handle OF which was decorated
with a large bow OF deep violet satin
ribbon. At her breast she wore cluster
of Parma violets and on her head wide
brirrrned hat OF black velvet which had
a splendid ostrich feather circling the
crown.
On the afternoon of Nine. Poincare's

visit n private concert was given In the
salon of Armagh and a charming italian
giri-a future star for the opera in
Paris-was heard for the first time. For
this young girl, who is not yet Is years
of age Caruso had predicted a glorious
future. At the concert Nine. Poincare
wore a very original robe composed OF
black breltschwanz and embroidered
crepe de chine.
There was a sheath robe of the supple
black fur and draperies of crepe de
chine gave slight pannier effect at the
sides. A short bolero of hreitschwanz
was worn over kimono blouse of crepe
and underneath there was a dainty
guirnpe composed of rare old Falenct-
ennes lace In the true yellow shade.
Nine Poincare is an ardent collector
of old lace AT her chateau in the
country she has one large salon entirely
devoted to lace of all ages. 1t is said
that her collection of old Valenciennes
equals. If 1t does not surpass that left
by the late Queen Victoria of England.
The Parisiennes are specially fond of
collecting lace and they are first rate
judges of the dainty work.

ODD THINGS PEOPLE DO FOR A
LIVING.

A NAN called at one of the exchanges
~ for women's work in this city
and asked to have some mustache
trainers made. The superintendent had
never before heard of a mustache
trainer. but the exchange boasts that Il
fills all orders. and she decided that she
would have to make good the boast.
What are mustache trainers?' she
asked.
From his waistcoat pocket the man
reduced a continuance. Of German
manufacture. guaranteed to give an
upward twirl to the most stubborn mus
tache. He had secured IL, he said. from
an officer of Emperor Williams regi-
ment of guards, and he wanted the ex-
change to make him six copies. The
superintendent promised to fill his or.
der and he went away content.
One of the ladies' of the exchange
undertook to make the articles. with
some misgivings, as she later confessed.
The trainers were success. however,
and the man was so pleased that he
recommended them to all of his friends
who desired to possess a Kaiser Wilhelm
mustache. The lady now adds ma
terially to her income by the manu-
facture of these articles.
A young woman of this city makes .
living solely by busting bric-a-brac and
ornaments. Maids. she explains, are apt
to be careless with the busting. es-
pecially of those small articles that re-
quire extra care and attention. There
fore she decided to specialize in this
branch of homework.
The work Is lucrative, as many women

coats. These tunics of pieated tulle,
or silk muslin. are fashioned in the
Persian style; that Is to say they are
slightly stiffened at the border. The
unexpected combination of materials.
lends quaint appearance to a winter
costume; but just now nothing Is con-
sidered really correct in Paris unless il
Is unexpected.
A remarkably effective model Of the
order l have mentioned was composed
of nut brown velvet and silk muslin.
The skirt was short and rather tight.
Then there were tunics of silk muslin
in the same shade as the velvet and
each tunic was bordered with four
inch band of skunk. These tunics were
considerably longer at the back thaa
in front and they were confined over
the hips by an Eastern sash in which
dull brown embroideries mingled with
splashes of vivid color and with me-
tallic threads. Then there was a short
coatee of velvet which had a round
skunk collar and this coatee opened
over a blouse made OF Venetian guipure
and chiffon.
The silhouette of the present moment
is essentially attractive, that is to say,
the silhouette of the Parisienne. The
skirt is short enough to display the
smartest of smart shoes and stockings
and is frequently bordered with deep
band of fur. One of the leading Partisan
tailors has introduced walking skirts
entirely made of fur and some of them
are charming, especially those made of
breitschwanz.
But the same tailor is now finishing
many of his best model skirts with deep
bands of sable, fox, skunk and even
chinchila. Over these skirts hooped
tunics, also bordered with fur, are
worn and then n handsome sash, richly
fringed and embroidered, is wound
round the hips and tied in a loose knot
at one side. This may be said to be the
Partisan silhouette of the winter sea-
son. The outline is peculiar one, but
very becoming to slender women.
Now that swathed centuries are so

PICTURESQUE COIFFURES WORN
IN THE EVENING IN PARIS

prominent members of the Spanish
colony were present and the King was
represented by the Spanish Ambassa-
dor, who occupied box with a notable
French General, the latter representing
the President
Spanish women are extremely fond
Of dress, especially Of dainty and pic
turesque gowns. Their dark eyes and
splendid hair give them an opportunity
Of looking attractive from the painters
point OF view and they do not hesitate
to adopt the most picturesque--so
times very ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. At this
particular concert some of the head
dresses were admirably becoming.
Several society leaders from Madrid
wore the historic Spanish combs. made
OF carved tortoise shell, and these combs
were used to support the masses OF
hair which fashion now declares must
be arranged high at the back of the
head. one of the drawings shows this
style of headdress very clearly.
The hair is drawn away from the
face, but at the sides there are tho fas-
cinating little curls which the Parsians
have named "accroche-coeurs." This
name Is eloquent and easily understood
for these fascinating little side curls are
well suited for the business of catching
hearts.
The second sketch shows another
style of evening dress which is also in
favor with the Parisiennes. The hair
is again drawn up high on the head.
but folded band of supple silver tissue
is introduced and this band is bordered
with paste, little circles of paste finish
ing 1t off at either side. In addition to
this a curved black mount was ar
ranged in the hair at one side.
1t becomes more and more the fash
ion in Paris to leave the forehead bare
and this style can be traced back di-
rectly to the advent of powdered heads.
1t is rather curious to note that bare
foreheads give an air of youth to almost
all faces; this is specially the case when
the little accroche-coeurs curls are in
troduced at the sides. The whole ef-
feet is old world and charming.
A remarkable novelty has been intro
duced by Paquin. This is the double
tunic Of pleated tulle bordered with

fashionable the Partisan dressmakers
are always inventing new methods OF
arranging them. In some cases these
lengths of supple silk or gauze are made
to mould the hips completely: some
times the sash is arranged around the
waist In Empire fashion, and yet an
other variety lis the long sash made OF
wide velvet ribbon which is passed
round and round the waist and finally
tied In large bow almost directly In
front
1t continues to be the fashion in Paris
to give slightly balloon effect to the
figure in front, just below the waist.
This is really ugly style. but 1t GER
talnly prevails In certain circles. The
sashes. which tied in front. give this
balloon appearance to the figure natu-
rally and for this reason they are in
favor with women who like startling
novelties.
Worth has been making some ideal
dance frocks for girls in accordian
pleated gauZe mounted over crepe de
chine or supple satin. One of these
models had a slightly draped skirt made
of buttercup yellow satin and long
pleated tunic of oyster white gauze.
This tunic was longer at the back than
in front and there was folded sash Of
mirror velvet in a rich shade of tam
gerine orange.
The corsage was also pleated and it
was so transparent that the little under
bodice OF yellow satin was plainly seen.

green leaves was worn at the breast.

She gave him frame and suggested
that he try his hand at making screens.
He did try and succeeded so well that
the screens were sold at once for a

they started business, which is now

PARIS, November 81.

IN Paris this season they are wear
ing unusually picturesque head
dresses. The rage for powdered
hair. which shows no sign of ahat-
ing, has proved boon to the coiffeurs'
For several seasons back the
parisiennes had been favoring very
simple style of hair dressing. The
waves and coils were simply drawn
round the head in cap fashion, or
twisted into a big knot at the nape OF
the neck. This style OF hair dressing
was so easily accomplished that the
professional coiffeurs were in despair.
1t is rumored in Paris that the pres
emit rage for white or powdered hair is
largely due TO the enterprising spirit
of a well known Partisan coiffeur. The
story is that when this crafty person.
age saw his business growing less and
less he entered into a compact with
three famous Partisan beauties. He of
fered his services free for a stated
length of time If they would appear
at the Opera and other fashionable
theatres wearing powdered hair and
ultraplcturesque gowns.
This may be what the FRENCH call
"du potin"-whch means gossip-or 1t
may be true. Certain 1t Is that pow

but in this case every one, at least every
pretty woman, has cause for thankful
ness. Powdered hair. as understood in
Paris. is almost universally becoming.
