LOVE STORY MADE IMMORTAL
Romance Of Elaine, tho LILLY Maid Of
AstoIat," Subject Of Great Verses
by Tennyson.

Elaine, "the lily maid OF Astolat,"
loved Sir Lancelot, but was not loved
In return. Sir Lancelot was sworn to
celibacy, and In addition his interest
was centered In Guinevere. the queen.
Elaine, realizing the hopelessness Of her
passion, died of broken heart. In
accordance with her last request her
body, clad In white, and resting on
the bed on which she died, was placed
on barge and guided by an old dumb
servitor to King Arthur's palace. In
her right hand was placed lily, and
In her left hand letter declaring her
love. When the dead steered by the
dumb" reached the palace wharf. the
king requested that the body be
brought ashore. The letter was then
read, and the departed buried in a
manner betting queen. On the
tomb was inscribed the sad narrative
Of Elaine's unrequited passion.
The story is derived from Sir Thorn
as Malory's history Of Prince Arthur,
and has been told in blank verse by
Tennyson, forming one Of the "Idylls
of the King"

CITY OF WASHINGTON UNIQUE
Cosmopolitan, Yet Distinctly American,
10 the Capital of the United
States of America.

During its history with a territorial
Columbia had two governors, Governor
Cook and Governor Shepherd. Presi-
dent Grant appointed Governor Shep-
herd and stood by the governor In all
the furious attacks made upon him
in the stormy political strife that pre-
vailed in the District of Columbia
when the people had the vote.
The attacks upon Governor Shepherd
became so fierce that he left the Dis
trict after congress had killed the ter
ritorial form of government and estab-
lished the present form; three COM
missioners appointed by the President;
a District of Columbia committee, In
both house and senate, was Great
ed and passes upon appropriations,
schools and all matters pertaining to
the government of the District and the
city of Washington. There is no city
in which the people Of North, South,
East and West meet and commingle
as they do In Washington. Every ac-
cent In speech, and the cOlloqulalisms
Of every state are heard there. Prac-
tically every nationality and country
Of the world is represented in Wash
ington in the 81 embassies and lega-
lions of foreign countries. But Wash
lngton is distinctly an American city
in fine makeup Of its population. Prac-
tically all the officials, government
clerks and employees are American
born and come from every state.-Ex-

Lace Ruffles Suggest
the 1880 Bustle Style.

Jeanne Hallee is showing some
very interesting interpretations of
the 1880 silhouette, particularly
for evening. These dresses are
very narrow and draped slightly at
the hips. They have ruffles of lace
down the center back, the fullness
of which is concentrated to sug-
gest a hustle. She is also showing
many long tunics with flaring cir
cular skirts heavily embroidered.
On a few of her models she uses
the full side movement with hip
panniers and panels floating to the
bottom of the skirt.
Philippe ct CASTOR are showing
a great many full-skirted evening
dresses for young girls. The
sketch at the upper right of the
page shows a lovely model devel-
oped in mauve taffeta, metal rib
bon and wistaria blossoms, the lat
ter being made of metal cloth shot
with color. This dress is a study
in harmony of tones. The four
ribbon bands which border the
flounces of the skirt are in four
different shades of mauve metal
ribbon and the three appliqued
garlands of wistaria blossoms are IN
three different shades of mauve.
The taffeta remains in the one
tone of mauve.
Another model from this house
is illustrated at the lower left of
the sketch. 1t is of pale rose Geor-
gette crepe with eighteen ruffles
forming the skirt. The bodice is
tight fitting and the girdle made
OF roses and foliage.

der all over the new dresses. Since
Vionnet started the vogue for ami
NAL designs and jungle scenes
other dressmakers have followed
with ballet dancers, Chinese man.
darins, East Indian moguls and
Persian patriots. Some of them
have resorted to the fables of
Aesop; others have taken mytho-
logical figures, and one need not
be astonished in the near future
to see Fra Angelica borders on
most any kind of new dress.
Among the picture types in
dresses shown by Lanvin there are
two distinct styles. One is typical
of the Italian Renaissance of as
early q date as the thirteenth CEN
fury, while the other is the wide
skirt of the 1S5O-'6O period.
An exquisite model of the for
mer type, called Beatrice, is de-
veloped in blue velvet. 1t is just
such a dress as one sees pictured
on Dante's Beloved. By way OF
tabulating color, right here one
might say that this Beatrice blue
is a marked feature in Lanvin's
line. 1t is a lovely new shade
something like Natter and yet not
exactly like this shade. 1t is more
like the blue backgrounds one see:
in early Italian paintings. A SINH
lar tone has been called both Vir
gin and Madonna blue. Not onl!
is this new tone seen in evening
dresses, but Lanvin uses it yer!
freely in tailored suits.
A dress reminiscent of the 1885,
period is developed from black vel

The wide-skirted dresses, as
