improvements at Cemetery.

The city is making some very fine
and necessary Improvements at the
cemetery. When the cemetery was
drained the old wells that have been
used for years there went dry or
partially so and made 1t hard mat
ter to get water. The city has now
placed water main the full length
OF the cemetery and there will be
six openings on the main for tho
convenience of the people wishing
to get water. The summer house
that stands in the cemetery was IN
need OF repairs and this has been
done. cement floor and other re-
pairs having been made. The shrub
berry and trees have also been trim
med in a nice manner.

Imitation pearls and imitation diamonds
Of the most blatant description. A very
charming idea is ut present finding
favor with the Parisiennes. This II q
set which Is composed OF q pair Of jew
elled hatpins and veil brooch to match
These sets are being made by some OF
the leading art jewellers In filigree inset

with seed pearls sfs small rose diamonds.
The veil brooch Ii worn low down at the
back of the head and II catches in the

These brooches are made In many DIFF
ferent designs. but the most effective
are those in butterfly form. Butterfly
hatplns are charming, especially when
they are used in hats freely trimmed
with large flowers. The whole thing
makes an artistic ensemble.
With regard to beauty wells the last
word lies with a very fine flesh pink
tulle which Is traced over with fine
black silk in a sort OF shadow design.
For women OF pale skin these wells are
eminently becoming. They give a deli
cate glow to the complexion, and in some
mysterious way they make the eyes look
large and unusually dark.

The new beauty wells in heliotropo
tulle are having an immense success at
Deauvine They give the skin a pecu-
larry delicate appearance and the latest
specimens are covered with pin dots IN
white and further decorated with two
black velvet mouches. One of these little
patches is carefully placed on the veil
where it touches the cheek bone on the
right side and the other appears to nestle
in the corner of the mouth.
These wells have to be seen to be APP
preciated The pale heliotrope tulle is so
fine that it has the effect of face powder.
and the white pin dots add extreme deli
cacy Then the bold patches call attention
to the complexion and to the curves Of
the mouth
The Parisennes in some cases use pale
heliotrope face powder in conjunction
with these new wells The effect is good
when very little powder is used. but Of
course 1t is artificial Deep yellow face
powders have quite gone out of favor:
and no wonder few months ago 1t
was an ordinary thing to meet a throng
Of beautifully dressed women who all
looked as though they were suffering from
jaundice.
Fashion is an extraordinary affair.
Women will take endless trouble to have
their complexions made smooth and fair;
they will even 60 to the length Of having

opening was bordered by Medici coll
lar OF pleated lace.
At least one of the gowns worn at
this garden party recalled very strongly
the Venus de Milo outlines. The robe
was made Of ivory white chiffon and the
pleatilags were so fine and so cleverly
executed that the supple material
moulded the figure. There were long
lengths Of white satin ribbon passed
round tho waist and across the hips in
order to confine the little folds and
these ribbons were tied at the back In a
careless bow.
With this dress a Tuscan plateau was
worn, This hat was lined with black
satin and II was trimmed under the brim
at the back with handsome ostrich
feather In a pals. shade OF lennon yellow
The plateau was fastened by two superb
pins which had fiat topaz heads trimmed
with brilliants, and there was a floating
veil Of black shadow lace.
These rich hatpins are In great favor
with the more exclusive Parisiennes.
They are Of great importance at the
present moment because many of the
new millinery models are practically
untrimmed except for wide bands of

individual woman who makes or mars
q fashion; 1t IL the individual woman
who can make q decollete dress seem
In perfect taste, or a high necked cor
sage seem improper. 1t Is an affair OF
education and Of temperament.
An example Of the truth OF the state
ment made was before us In the
person of our hostess. She Is no longer
q young woman, but for her the "un-
certain age" has no terrors. Her dark
hair Is slightly threaded with white and
she habituaily powders 1t at the sides.
Her clinging robe was composed entireiy
Of chiffon and 1t was worn over a
sheath underdress OF the finest pongee
silk. The corsage seemed to consist OF
q wlsp Of chiffon draped across the pust
and over the shoulders, while wide
sash of supple black moire confined
the waist.
The beautiful arms were covered. as
have said, with long pale gray gloves,
and cothurnes Of the same suede were
worn in conjunction with pearl gray
silk stockings. The fittings Of these
cothurnes were of flligree silver. At the

worn by the wrong woman In wrong cir
cumstances. It had been created
specially for It's wearer by one OF the
most eclectic couturieres In Paris and
1t was worn in perfect surroundings.
Therefore 1t scored an instant success.
I do not hesitate to dwell again on
this subject, because 1t is a very I'm
portant one. There is danger In the air.
Certain well meaning persons are
making ready for battle. They mean
to attack the present fashions with
vigor and they decline to Listen to
reason. A decollete corsage is to them
simply a decollete corsage. They do not
understand, nor do they wish to under
stand, that everything depends upon the
spirit in which such a corsage Is worn {:
ana upon the circumstances. They can
not be brought to see that it Is modern
taste and not modern dress that should
be attacked.
We are living In an age Of hurry
and advertisement. Women want to
attract attention, to be talked about. Our

There IL . certain make Of Indian
muslin which has . silky surface and Is
extremely popular this year. and this
soft material Ii freely used In con-
junction with embroidered linens and
with dainty foulards. I have sketched
this week two of the pretty dresses worn
at this informal garden party. They are
comparatively simple in design, but
they represent the spirit OF the hour.
The muslin dress which was pleated
from waist to hem was worn by q
charming woman whose husband holds
an important post at the Austrian En-
hassv in Paris. She Is very tall and
slender and she il said to have the most
perfect skin in the world. Her COM
plexion is mat white. with tinge Of
soft brown on the eyelids and a faint
tinge of red on the cheeks. her mar
Is pale golden brown and she has thick
lashes OF the same shade. These lashes
give character to her face. less in
telligent woman might have had them
tinted; the average person believes that
dark iashes make the eyes look brilliant.
but in reality there is marked charm
connected with hazel eyes fringed with
hazel lashes.
On the corsage Of the dress there was
an original band Of heavy lace worked
over with raised silk. This band was
passed under the right arm and laced
on the left shoulder. The sash. which
had floating ends. was in Egyptian blue
mirror velvet and at the waist there
was q cluster of Paul Neron roses.
The hat shown In the sketch is ono
Of the newest shapes. 1t La raised
boldly at the back and supported by a
mass of coils and curls. For THINNING
1t has large lunches of wheat ears jut-
| ting out at either side of a satin clasp.
The second sketch also shows q
pleated skirt, but in this case the
flounces were arranged in the three tier
style and graduated. The material was
the finest white silk muslin and the
charming little coatee was Of white
linen with a printed design in black
and pale gray. The sash was in black

undue attention. And why? Because
they did not wish TO attract 1t,
Later In the afternoon, when the con-
ference was over, many guests who had
been invited to garden party began
to arrive. As ! watched the groups on
the great lawn In front OF the chateau
was struck by the simplicity of the
materials and the elaboration of some
Of the designs In particular my atten-
ton was attracted by the marked
change In outline In few short weeks
fashion has veered from exaggeratedly
tight skirts to skirts covered with &C.
Gordon pleated flounces and frilis.
Accordion pleated Indian muslin and
accordion pleated chiffon, these are the
favorite materials for this seasons
Afternoon dresses. and these pleatinEs
are arranged In many different ways.
Sometimes the flounces are placed on
the skirt in graduated widths, some
times the whole skirt Is pleated from
waist to hem.
The rage for fine Indian muslin Is
an the increase. Several Of the English
royal women are very rich in Indian
muslins and embroideries. Pretty
Princess Pat Of Connaught has a
special fancy for these materials and
this fancy Is shared by her cousin. the
young Queen of Spain. Tho golden
haired Queen looks her best in snowy
muslins richly embroidered and con-
fined by pastel tinted ribbons. For h,r
