NEW YORK. Dec. SO. The latest corsets
and corset bodies of every description ,
though leaning toward useful lines , are all
* o dalntlfy whlto and coquellshly trimmed
that It looks as It the now woman Is not
tuch a hardened creature after all.
At ono of Now York's best known makers
'ro-.mtly were learned some of the latest
Bcerots of corsets.
Fiw women who dress well now buy their
staytt ready made , but have them fashioned
to order according to exactions of Individual
figures.
Tor less expensive tastes , for corsets made
to order nro naturally dearer than others ,
there are ready mndo ones of course , but
even thcso ore tried as carefully to the figure
as a boot to the foot , and out of twenty of
the same number , perhaps , one only will be
declared a fit ,
Then there seems to be corsets for every
occasion under the sun , for cycling , golf and
ron STORMY WEATHER. ' ,
riding , for hlsh dress and for .lounging. And
EO perfectly nro they nil made that there lane
no effect of slovenliness , so that If blessed
with any sort of a llnurc , the Earns girl may
\\x\ir all l < lnd and still seem the trim
Elrdlcd helnc man loves td know her.
TO GIVE AN KLEQANT OUTLINE.
A corset for a flguro that needs to beheld
held In a little , and yet leave the blessed
right to breathe , Is a short one , of unlliied
coutllle , hand made , and with the scams
of the front running toward the steels In a
distinct V.
This gives an easy roundness to the waist
and a swell to the bust , which , however ,
In held In snugly by a frill of lace , run with
narrow ribbon at the corset top. At the bottom
tom this model Is only slightly pointed , and It
Is longer In proportion from the waist line
down than from the > waist line up , and at
the sides thcro are clastic gussets that allow
perfect movement to the hips while holding
them down nicely.
This shape measures In Its longest point
eleven and one-half Inches. In a good quality
of coutlllc , and with n Cluny or Valenciennes
lace frill at the top It can bo had ready made
for $15.
FOR TEA JACKETS AND GOWNS.

lustration , has shoulder straps and Is hardly
moro than n bust supporter. This Is especially
suited to slight flgurcs and can bo worn by
thcso for ill ) occasions.
With easy morning gowns , however , mati
nees or nny frock en the Empire order In
vhlch the waist line Is hidden , stouter
Cornell may also wear them to advantage , as
In these cases thuy confine the figure * suMl-
ccntly. ! These corsets are also made In
whlto coutlllc , with lace and ribbon trim
mings or else n soft puff of muslin at the
bust. Only at the front and fhlo uams are
itliey boned , and the look of a body Is given
them by n pointed piece at the back and nt
cither side of the front , to which a short
petticoat may bu buttoned. This model can
be had for J3.
An elastic corset for cycling , golf nnd other
athletic pleasures IB Ideally suited to these
tporls. This Is hardly moro than a girdle.

f tccma to be the only secret for tbo fitting of
K tuauy of these elastic corsets.

Kr portion wry th U ana tailing la *
claitlo band thru runs from a spoon busk
over the hips to the back.
TIicso are declared to be most comfort
able and the only proper sort for the saddle.
TOR PAT AND THIN WOMCN.
Again for athletic women who do not
care to hive the b dy too warm there Is a
novel thing In stays. This Is a. vontllatlvo
affair made of linen braid cr narrow satin
ribbon crossed In | iUres and liberally
bound at the up and down strips.
Corsets for fat women are enormously
long , but the newest ones are very lowest
at the bupt , wlilch docs m\ay with that
ugly crowding tip of the flesh so lng seen.
The bottom fits on the hips like a cap In
almost a i > tralght line and Is finished nlth a
wide elastic band that stretches or rolls up
slightly In sitting.
This makes It possible for such stays to
b > \\orn without great discomfort , and It Is
claimed even that the size of the hips may
bc > reduced through their constant wearing.
They are only to bo found nt the manu
facturing places , however , and In their cheap-
cot shapes cost $20.
A STORM SUIT.
Apropos of fat ladles nnd all these who
wish to do auay with superfluous under
garments , many stylish women nro now
wearing flannel blwineni or knickers Instead
of petticoats for walking.
A skirt Is worn over them , blen sure , for
wo have net yet reached the point of drop
ping our maiden needs entirely.
But for the rci't. If this feminine mantle
were suddenly blown aside the wearer would
stand rvealed a perfect boy In the get-up of
her extremities , down even to stout calf
skin boots and strict golf stockings.
FOR THE WOMAN WHO RIDES.
The cut given shown n fair feminine In the
process of such an under-tollet , and which
Is accomplished In this way :
First , next the body from neck to ankles
are worn combinations of silk or wcol. Over
these goes thu corset , and If the chemise Is
sufficiently thin to permit the skirt being
crowded Into the blooomcrs It may bo added.
dene-rally , however , the chemise Is left
off on thcso be-trousercd occaUons , and tlio
cors't covered Instead with a perforated
chamois vest that would defy the coldest
blnt't ' that ever blew.
The tall boots are In this Instance cf
dull dongola kid that needs to bo rubbud
off with oil Instead of blacking.
This oiling , It Is claimed , makes the
leather waterproof , but It also glv.H n de
lightful softness that Is a wonderful Incen
tive to lotitf end healthful walks.
The clumt > y feet of the golf stockings
are cut off and the tops used aa leggings
over thinner ones.
1'01'ULAR PETTICOATS.
For giving a proper stand off look to the
ouUld eklrt , a Imlrclo'.h petticoat Is now
I lie only thing In favor. All the stiff Intcr-
llr.lrg * and wire braids enc used to hold
out the skirt bcttom have been pronounced
tco heavy , and the fact that one petticoat
can bo made to da service for half a dozen
skirts certainly U ons point In favor ot the
now schema.
Then , too , they are really Tory light In
weight , being made ot nest tuUrcloth ,
I H jg J * I ' J L l
and from the knee up In front on thin cot
ton or silk. The back Is entirely of th
haircloth , In three or nxoro organ pleats , ant
a look of elegance I * sometimes made by
covering the whole thing with taffeta silk
with A frll at the bottom , pitllcoJt fashion.
This doeu away with the wearing of an
other petticoat , otherwise necessary.
And If the frill Is corded or tucked a hair
cloth skirt so covered will have nil the look
of a fine Jupon. NINA FITCH.

The first white woman who ever crossed the
perilous Chllkat Pass In Alaska , and for
three years has lived far north of the most
northerly of the new Alaskan gold camps ,
sometimes for weeks with no other white
person near , arrived In San Francisco a
week or so ago , She Is Mrs. T. N. Dean
mont , the wlfo of the post trader at Fort
Yukon. She Is a young woman , a native
Delglum , and though she has spent the
greater part of her life In Europe * and In the
big cities of thl country , she Is qulto In
love with her life among the Indians up
on the edge of Hi * Arctic circle.
When Mrs. Monument crossed the Chllkat
IM83 aho had to wear men's clothes and
native men's clothes at that. She had to
walk , and had to help to drag the sledges
loaded with freight , too. The snow was
notably deep , even for that region , and
crossing the pass was , and la , considered
a hazardous undertaking for a man. She
and her husband were the only whlto people
n the region , and the nearest white woman
at any time was several hundred mil's away.
Sometime : } Mrs , Beaumont was left alone for
weeks at1 a tlmo while her husband went
down the river to procure supplies , and at
such times sh did all tbo trading with the
ndlans coming to the post with furs. After
a while there was a baby to help her through
he lonely hours and later another came.
The far northern part of Alaska Is by no
mccns a snowy waste , or at all a forbidding
region , Mrs. Deaumont told an IntervUwer
rein the Som Francisco Examiner , although It
s of courts somewhat dreary during the long
vlnter. Fort Yukon Is away north of the
"orty-Mllo creek gold fields , but next year
she will have comparatively ntar neighbors
n the now camp called Circle City , near the
Arctic circle , only ninety miles from Fort
Yukon. But It Is not likely even then that
he will have many women callers of htr own
ace.
In the brief cummer time there Is a great
arlety of wild flowers about Fort Yukon , and
at the height of the warm season the country
hereabouts Is carpeted with blossoming
