in n snug llttlo restaurant of shadowy Mer

mite of a thing , but an old joung lad , seem

"Oh , sir , " ho said in the sweetest tones I

and get away w ithout the pleasant formality

The luea of leaving the hotel w Ithout TO-

I was Into , but it occurred to mo tliut-1 must

in the great hallway leading to the dining-
room. 1 somehow felt like a criminal when
approaching that uinbiell.i stand. I fairly
trembled lest some suddenlj' appearing cm-

THE BBE ] I asked a plumpllttlo hall-dresser
yesterday , "Will j-ou kindly tell mo just how
jou make this peculiar and distinctly odious
thing thai Is called a chignon ? "
"Thai cos vcrj- easy , madamc , " said sho.
"Tako all j'our hair this way and tlo It

woio celled into the despised shape , and the

"Wh it did jou do tint for ? " I gasped , and
shook the pins out , "and what do jou take

woman who is clean in soul must bo clean in

from the purging of soap nnd hot water. In

Some of the now chemises are m ido In the

I saw this morning two/tnoh novel evening
dresses that at once I begged an artist tomako
mo a little sketch of them for jou. They
weio designed for ono of the big Januarj'
"functions. " Opal-tinted silk was the ma
terial of ono , flushing flame red with lights
of orange nnd paling to cold , pure pc.nl.
The skirt was Six yards round and shorter
Ihtkii nnjlhing could have made il but the
beginning of the materialization of the hoop
skirt ghost or bogj * . Its only trimmings
were rows of narrow velvet libbon of a
warm pink shade , clustcted nt the hem , a
foot up nnd again tw elvo inches above the
second grand division.
The bodice joined the skirt under a deep
mock belt of a dozen i ibbon row s. It turned
back from thro.il and bosom in Immense
pointed rovers edge with Vimdyck lace and
i Ibbon borders. Whlto crepon was
gatheml across the bust under the i overs
InQuikcr folds ; and big buttcilly bows of
darit blue t civet wcio set In close succes
sion to the waist lino. The immense puffed
sleotcs woioof telvot to the elbows , and
then became of a sudden so close fitting that
the long gloves came up over them. Have I
finished } I bellososo , except that there be
longed with the gown a mother of pcirl fan
with a dark blue velvet mount , strangely
painted.

The other dress was n green white silk
with the front of the skirt caught with
dozens nnd .scores of dark gropn velvcl
bows. The pointed bodice was of green vel
vet cut very low and w Ith a w hito mull
chemisello sot In beneath 11. The slcoves
wcro Ibis costume's odd feature. On each
shoulder was a big round puff with a velvet
ribbon to crush it in the middle nnd divide it
into two unequal balloons A dark green
velvet ribbon was to bo worn in the hair.
I have thought sometimes I might tell jou
of the colors nnd the stuffs worn at Now
York's midwinter balls. At a dance a
Sherry's the other night satin brocades
w ith Watteau backs took part in the prom
cnado with all the nonchalance imaginable.
They were always gelling stepped on. o

noted a white satin stiff tv ith silver embroidery
broidery and another In white nnd gold with
touches of t Ivlil cherry. A third was flame
colored with black velvet to subdue it and a
number w ere white or silt or tv Ith enormous
colored velvet sleotes.
The simplest frocks , and they were no
the least effective , tv cro black chiffon with
Jet corselets. More elaborate was a blue
silk , looped with red roses , uud n light gray
with sleeves and bodice bands of pink velvet
