WIDTHS OF SKIRTS.

The favorite morning costumes. are
made Of colored linen with circular
skirts showing wide Tapped ends at
front and at back and with the Norfolk
waists that of course are belted as all
Norfolk models must be. Street
dresses are promised too, and down
in Florida they are wearing gowns of
soft gray linen made with two-piece
circular skirts and yoke bodices, these
yokes outlined with cords Of the ma
terial while the collar and cuffs are
of white organdie and the belts are of
gray suede inset with black patent
leather High collars must be at some
point and there is an effort being made
to introduce the all-round high collar
in Military style, but women have
grown accustomed to the open neck
and to the comfort thereof and they
are a little slow to adopt the extremely
high neck finish.

simple occasions are finished with

ployed either as trimming or finish.

the gold and silver sort embellishes

are being lavishly used. A most
attractive gown is made of black
poplin showing moderately wide
foundation skirt with very wide and
faring over-skirt which is pointed at
front and back and edged with black
bead fringe while the jacket consists
of blue satin richly beaded and with
iridescent beads applied over rose
and scroll design. A very handsome
street costume of dark brown poplin
is enriched with braiding Of silver
soutache combined with brown silk
embroidery and wherever handsome
costumes are worn and exploited, there
is evidence of the needle-woman'S skill.
With the coming Of Summer we will
of course wear lingerie gowns embroid
cred and numbers of the Spring suits
are showing soutache applied over
simple designs. Some of the trim
mings that are made of material are
exceedingly quaint and interesting
and the costumes that result are novel
even while in some ways they give
evidence of an earlier period. A quaint
costume that is charmingly reminiscent
is made of silk cashmere in beautiful
shade of blue. 1t consists of a plain,
much h,rc-l skirt finished at its lower
edge W. lie loops of faille ribbon
set at a,. their own width apart,
the ribbon being approximately one
and one-half inches in width. There
is plain bodice with long, plain
sleeves, but these sleeves are slightly

POCKETS ARE POPULAR.

The real tailored suit appears to
have returned to its own, for while
the coat suit OF poplin, satin and other
fancy materials will be worn to some
extent, the palmer, simpler tailored
one of cloth will have greater vogue
than has been the case for number Of
seasons. Pockets make an all-im-
portant feature and tiny little but
tons are being extensively used for
trimming. The pockets undoubtedly
owe their inspiration to the prevailing
Military influence and in great many
instances, they suggest those found
upon the fighting uniform. Fashions
are always notifications and adapta-
tons and when an idea emanates from
such source, the result is widely diff
ferent and every known kind Of pocket

1T IS doubtful if the bordered ma
terial were ever so varied or so
beautiful as they are this season
and that is true in spite Of the shortage
Of imported stuffs. Taffeta is a pro-
nounced favorite and the bordered
taffetas are exquisite and they are
not aggressive, but they show stripes
in wonderful colors and often the
designs are not more than one and
one-half inches in width. They are
perfect for the flounced skirts that will
be 50 much worn and that are alto
gether most attractive. Under the
conditions there will inevitably be a
limited supply of lace, consequently
trimming Of materials and all the trim
mings that can be accomplished by
the needle, embroidery, braiding, beads
used with good effect, scallops and the
like are conspicuous. The coming sea-
son might indeed be called the needle
woman's season for it offers one ex-
ceptional opportunity and the home
dressmaker who is skilful will be able
to accomplish most desirable results.
Scallops are being used not alone to
finish the edges. but they are applied
over plain materials and cords, pipings.
ruches and all trimmings that can be
made Of material are being extensively
employed.
A most exquisite dancing gown, is
for example, made with long tunic of
silver net over pastel colored taffeta
skirt and from the edge to the belt,
the tunic is ornamented with applied
scallops of the taffeta arranged in
succession of rows, and scallops are
put to similar uses upon gowns Of
many sorts.

THE LATEST FADS AND
FANCIES OF FASHION

is exploited upon advance models.
Patch pockets, inserted pockets, strap
pockets, pockets that are depended
from the belts; that they are practical
as we'll as ornamental is fortunate
coincidence. 1t is doubtful if the de-
signers have considered the prosaic, \
utilitarian feature to half the extent
that they have the one Of effect. But
we can afford to put that question
aside and to enjoy the condition as it
exists, without question and without
cavil and whatever else we may lack
throughout the season, we will be able
to store our handkerchief and change
purses without effort and we certainly
will have escaped the masculine criti-
cism that is apt to result from lack
of pockets. Two, three. six. any
number, may be found on the fashion,
able costumes of the Spring and their
very generosity will allow of real COM
fort without the OVERRIDING that is apt
to result in bulging and ugly lines.
A great may of the new coats are
belted and sometimes pockets are
inserted in or under the belt, while
again. they are hung from them by
means of straps and while these belted
models are not the most dressy, they
are exceedingly smart and attractive
for general wear and they have the
great advantage of being becoming to
a great number of figures Belts may
be said to rival pockets, for they are
so general and are used in so many
ways. ......

1T IS doubtful if we ever have had
season offering, such variety
of fashions and making it so diff
cult to assert what is and what will be
correct. Conditions are unique; de-
signers are making very earnest
effort and there are being put forth
styles so varied and so interesting that
the study Of prevailing modes offers ex-
ceptional attraction even while it is a
bit puzzling at times. Contrary to the
general statement of what might be
expected, Paris is holding its usual
February showings. We are receiving
cable reports of what is offered by the
leading houses and sufficient number
of BUYERS from this side of the sea are
there in attendance to assure us of a
fair Partisan representation when the
Spring season shall open. On the other
hand, designers in our own city are
making ready to supplement the
French designs and to put forth their
own ideas. There is very general
effort being made among thinking
women to encourage home manufac-
turer and home output and when,
added to this condition it is realized
that the general trend of serious
thought is making itself felt the world
over, it is not surprising that we should
see simple, conservative effects for
certain purposes, with a great variety
Of more elaborate and complicated
costumes for evening and dinner wear.
Assuredly it will be season of quiet
effects upon the street; covert cloth
is being very largely exploited, and
such quiet tones as sand, biscuit, putty
and gray in it's wonderful tones, browns
and the like, are the preferred ones.

3 PIANO CONCERTOS
AT ONE SITTING
Ernest Hutchinson Carries Out
Experiments Successfully.

IL Is scarcely necessary to say that
no artistic purpose Is served when
pianoist plans a concert in order that
he may play three pisnoforte concertos
in succession. There is an old German
bit OF waggery which answers the ques-
ton, what is worse than flute
with 1.-TWO flutes" II is only the test
of popular endurance which makes the
allusion apropos TO the concert when
Ernest Huteheson, Of Baltimore, gave
in Aeolian Hall yesterday afternoon
Three pianoforte concerts are neIther
three times as plessurable nor three
times as boresome as one pianofof,e
concerto. To include the MacDowel.

B-Aat minor and the Liszt III E-hat
in a single concert could have had but
ono purpose and that was 10 make
sort OF Wholesale exploitation OF the
nerformer's skill and endurance. That
snd was admirably served yesterday.
Mr. Hutchinson was heard By fne
audience of such friendly disposition
that after the three concertos be wa
encouraged to add three solo numbers

ton. He had been i'll only two hours.
Mr.. Pitou was born In New York
February &c. lS43, and was educated In
the public schools. He made his first
appearance on the stage in Edwin
Booths company at the old Winter
Garden Theatre, March Is, 1887, play
ing in Hamlet"
During the following autumn he
went to Philadelphia and played at the
Walnut Street Theatre for two years,
He then returned to New York to be-
come a member of Booths company
and formed an association with that
actor which lasted many years.
Mr.. Pitou supported Booth in "Riche-
lieu" "The Apostate," "Brutus" and
other plays. On the opening night at
Booths Theatre, February 8, 1859, he
played in Romeo and Juliet" The
next year he supported John s. Clarke

cling company of John Z. Owen, APP
pearing subsequently on tour with
other famous companies Of that day.
After twelve years as an actor, Mr..
Pitou became a manager, gaining his
first experience with "The Dani-
scheffs." He produced more than one
hundred plays, Of which "Mme. Sans
Gene" was probably the most famous.
For years he managed the Pitou Stock

BOSTON SYMPHONY
PLAYS AGAIN
Mozart and Handel on Classic
Programme-Mr. Kreisler
Again Appears.

A very different atmosphere permeat-
ed yesterday afternoons concert Of the
Boston Symphony than the one that
hung over its predecessor on Friday
night. From Bruckner Conductor
Muck had turned to Mozart. and many
must have considered the journey one
from gloom TO sunlight. No matter
what Major Higginson's band elects to
play, Carnegie Hall 10 invariably found
sold out, so as far as the size Of the
audience is concerned there was yes
terday no variation. The Mozart work
was the symphony in + fat major *.
548), and in it the great orchestra was
at its best
DR.. Muck is never more pleasing
than when he essays the classics, and
his reading of the symphony yesterday
possessed all his usual poise, balance
and fine dynamic adjustment. II was
an exquisitely polished. an exquisitely
articulated performance. The same
praise must be given to the Handel
Concerto in major for strings and
two wind orchestras.
The solo performer was again Mr..
Kreisler. who chose this time the
Viot.i Concerto in A minor, No. %.
The famous violinist was quite at his
best, and both in technical mastery
and in richness Of tone he proved him
self the master that he is. The con-
GLIDING number was the Mendelssohn
overture, "Sea-Calm and Prosperous
Voyage" Whatever adverse comment
might be made of programme SO
alike in spirit as was yesterdays, IL at
least possessed the merit of being one
in which each of its component parts was
Of pure beauty. Variety ii an after
Moons entertainment does not appear
to appeal to DR.. Muck.

Home for Freer's Art
To Be Near White House

Washington, Dec. A new million
dollar building Is to be added to the
Smithsonian Institution here TO con-
tain the collection Of paintings, en-
cravings, porcelains and bronzes given
to the institution from time to time

ing could be started during the coming
spring. Construction of the principal
art galleries of Europe and America
has been under study for some time,
and it is planned that the new building
shall be arranged with the object OF
furnishing students of art the fullest
opportunity for making use of its con-
tents.
Although the public halls will be cx-
tensive, they will be planned with ref
erence TO having only part of the
Freer collection on exhibition at one
time. The collection represents periods
of art beginning before the Christian
era.
1t comprises early Persian and 1no-
Persian paints, more than 1000 Chi
nese. Tibetan and Japanese screens,
panels. kakemono and scrolls; nearly
/ ZOO specimens of pottery from ia
pan. China, Corea. Central and West
ern Asia and Egypt; more than 23o
bronzes from the same sources, and
several hundred stone sculptures, wood
carvings and worries, etc, besides a
splendid representation Of Chinese
fades and more than 500 examples OF
ancient Egyptian glass.
The collection also contains valu-
able ancient Biblical manuscripts OBJ
tanned in Egypt. American artists will
be represented by Whistler, Iroyon,
Dewing, Thayer, Homer, Sargent and
others.
