AT A I'niVATE OPENING.
Hccontly a pair of Now York's smartest
milliners gave private openings , whore were
eeon some of the confections that are to
bow In Easter prajcrs. There wcro great
big hats , medium hats , top-heavy walking
hots , nnd so-called little hats. The latter
were three-cornered or round toque shapes ,

but they \vero so widened with great knots
of now era or wing trimmings at the sides
that "little" seemed a misnomer.
A few trimmed Bailers were stylish , but
were not novel enough to attract more than
passing attention.
The big and medium-sized flats were the
ones that brought forth tribute , and the
trycr-on was plain indeed whoso charms wore
not enhanced by one of these. A vast
"Doulevardleiino" of black chip , faced t > lth
whlto , was ratlshliiK on a red-haired girl.
The round , straight brim of this was lorped
sharply up at the back and covered with a
big bow cf applo-freon taffeta ribbon. The
other trimmings were two dancing panaches
of black feathers at the tides , and between
which spread across the front a monster
tulle bow , one half white , one black. An
other arrangement of black and white It

MODEST HATS.
Still another black hat hnd the round
brim covered with a tulle poufs , black and
white alternating. Instead of feathers
wllh this , however , at the left side there
wore some tall stalks of Jonquils with
their tender green Raves. The Vlrot
walking hats also showed many black
and whlto effects , but thcro were besides
some very stunning ones In color. The
roller brim of one smart brown one
seemed uncommonly wide , and the bag
crown was puffed up In front , which
took away from the trying squareness often
otherwise occasioned. The chief trlmmln
for thetxj walking hats Is velvet ribbon , whlc

The brown one mentioned had a strass

millinery Is the way the brim hats ar
trimmed underneath. At the back , an

will often have at the rear soft ends o

situated on the Yukon river , Just Inside the

supplies. She takes two sleds heavily

"Have you ever noticed , " said a man-
about-town to the Philadelphia Record , "that
nlno women out of ten when they enter a
street car Invariably take the seat on the
right-hand side of the car ? I have frequently
wondered at It , and a solution of the mystery
tory did not occur to mo until a few nights
ago. I boarded a Glrard avenue car , which
was entirely empty , and sat down In the
Forward left-hand corner. At the next cross
ing a woman got aboard and sat down
opposite mo. At the next street two moro
got In nnd took seats alongside the first.
After a time there were seven women In the
car , all sitting In a row , leaving me to
enjoy alone the comforts ot the left-hand
seats. Then three men jumped aboard anJ
sat down on my side. Finally another woman
lolncd us , and Instead of taking a vacant
neat near the door on the 'ladles' side' she
walked the entire length of the car and eat
down alongside mo. This eccentricity on her
[ > art Impelled mo to watch her moro closely
than good manners possibly warranted , but
I solved the mystery to my satisfaction.
She paid the conductor with her left hand !
She was left liandcd ; eeo ? And all the
women on the other side were right-handed ,
of course. Fact ! "
An HtiHy mill nitrcmcly Kftcutlic
AVny of Decorutlnir I'o < tfr > .
A bit ot cloisonne enamel , perhaps a email
vase or pitcher , Is always a pretty ornament.
Cloisonne Is rather expensive , and If you have
nherlted none , nor had any thrust upon you
> y your friends , you may acquire It , at a
rifling outlay of tlmo and money.
In fact , It you are clever , you can make
cloisonne jounsclf , perhaps not qulto as well
as. an old heathen Chinee ; but well enough
o satisfy yourself and deceive the very
elect , for not even the most cloisonne-mad
ndlvldual can discover the difference , that Is ,
at long range.
LAYING OUT TUB WORK.
The dellcato tracery of fine gold or silver
vlro , filled In with plates of rich , deep colors ,
Ike morale , Is Imitated qulto successfully and
easily. First one must buy the pottery a
vat < e , eay which Is sold with suitable pat-
em a already moulded upon It , all of which
re qulto flat , llko mosaic. The pottery re-
emblea ordinary cream-colored terra-cotta ,
nd It needs no firing ,
The vase must first be sized to get a good
oundatlon for the enamel colors , which
therwlso would be absorbed. Spirit lacquer
s used for this purpoee a very little Is
ceded , and It muct be spread quite smoothly
nd evenly over the surface of the terra cotta.
A good i < ! zed camel's hair brush Is used.
DETAILS OP DECOIIATION.
The next process is to put In the outlines
( the des'cns with metallic paint , this
represents one of the main clmracterlst cs
of the genuine cloisonne. The gold Is In
the form of powder , which must be mired
to the proper consistency with some of the
tincture sold with It. It should be mixed
as dry as possible and laid on with a very
fine camel's hair brush In all the outlines
of the pattern , which , It will be found , are
sunk Into rather lower relief than the rest
of the dcslgi. The gold paint should so fill
them up that they are even with the sur
face of the remainder of the plate. Gold
Is most frequently used for this purpose , but
copper , bronze and silver are also to bo had.
riNn DrpccTS.
When the work Is thus far advanced , It
must be laid aside until It Is once moro dry ,
nnd then tha coloring Is begun. The colors
are sold In tiny cans. More than fifty shades
are to be had. the paler ones bo ng used
principally for backgrounds , the darker and
richer tints serving for the main portions
ot the design. A delicate touch Is neces
sary that the colors may not encroach beyond
the metallic outlines. The object , of course ,
Is to get the color as smooth and glossy as
actual china.
If an especially brilliant effect Is desired ,
this may bo obtained by scattering metallic
powder over certain portions of the painting.
The worker should paint those parts ot
the pattern to bo thus ornamented first after
gliding the outlines. The colors or enamels
must not bo thinned with turpentine , but
with a special mixture , which has no bad
effect upon the brightness of the colors.
Ai with so many other and similar arts ,
It Is by no means the most elaborately exe
cuted specimens that are the most effective
and an equally good result may often * bo
obtained by a simple mixture of cream ,
black and rose or blue.

Mrs. Edwin F. Uhl , wife of the newly ap

Is a woman In every way qualified to grace
the high position to which destiny has called
her.
Fiom the beginning of her husband's
rapidly advancing career In a little town In
sovthern Michigan to the present , she has
been the gracious helpmeet , stimulating nls
ambition , entering with enthusiasm Into his
plans , entertaining his friends , social and
political Ideally fulfilling , In fact , all the re
lations that came to her as the wife of a
rising man.
But It Is not alone In the character of
helpmeet to a brilliant husband that Mrs.
Uhl has distinguished herself. A perfect
hostess and a skilled musician , she adds lo
her rare social gifts a capacity for handling
largo enterprises , a grasp of detail anl
courage of execution that Insures success of
any undertaking to which she lends her fine
zeal. A very substantial monument to these
striking qualities exists today in the shape
of a woman's club house , the construction of
which occupies a unique position in the his
tory of what nineteenth century women have
done.

most Indefatigable effort and unwearied
patlcnco , the society was able to boast of
ono of the largest and most beautifully

in fact the only ono built by women ex
clusively for music. Through all the dif

such an undertaking , the club never lost
confidence In Mrs. Uhl's power to carry

It appears that Miss Kate Shelley , the noted
heroine of the Honey creek flood of 1881 ,
has not been favored jvlth that prosperity
which her bravery merits. Though she has
vainly endeavored to avoid .publicity regard

hostess look picturesque at a trifling ex
peniie.
Some of the now silks look as though n
Ink bottle had been overturned on a crean
whlto ground.
Gigantic sailor collars of mousselclno d
Bolo and Valcnclennlcs lace are among th
spring Importations.
In pplte of all efforts to the contrary , plal
fklrts will rule , and will continue to leai
In popularity for some time to come.
Farm silks combined with black will h
the reigning craze this coming season
Linens similarly contrasted will also bo 1
vogue.
Among the new goods for spring ar
stylish , curly cathcart-chevlots , sllk-threadci
all-wool English tweeds In various rlc
color Echctncs.
Some ot the cutest Ideas In spring ; mil
llnery are from Paris Thosa are sma
hate and tiny turbans , bearing usually th
names of court beauties long dead and gone
A marked feature of the modes of the nev
season is tlio lavish decoration about In
neck ruches , ruffs , and frills of gauz
pleated Itssc or chiffon , also bows of plal
or fancy ribbon , and of enormous size.
There Is a whisper a twrt of stage whlspe
that hip pads In Wattcau fashion ar
surely to bo worn. If this be true , then
wo may look for rather startling revela
lions regarding new dress skirts for summe
wear.
It is hinted that the Louis Qulnze heel
are to be among the varieties that wll
surely accompany the spring toilet. Thl
may also bo accepted as an Indication tha
walking la s'owly ibut surely passing out o

Deep velvet collars are the latest ad

Fancy belts of fine gold plato not more
than two inches wide , and fastened will
very handsome gold clasps , are worn will
oomo of the very elegant dinner , reception
and even calling gowns of the season. Som
of these are In filigree devices , others ar
In openwork form , set with mock gems
The coat sleeve with deeply pointed Van
dyke cape falling above a moderate puff a
the top was the first departure from the
vogue of the huge balloon models ; then came
the compromise shape called the Huguenot
and now appears the style showing a coa
sleeve ruffled all the way down round and
round the arm from shoulder to wrist.
In evening dress , tiny clusters of blusl
roics , Parma violets , carnations , or lilies of
the valley are nestled In the hearts of lace
and ribbon choux and rosettes , and where
the bodice Is cut square front and back a
bpray of the flowers , mingled with coqullles
of lace , borders the opening and falls will
the Watteau bows and streamers In the
back to the waist , and often to the skirt
hem.
hem.A very easy and charming way to freshen
a black , white or colored silk or satin bodice
Is to cover It with an over waist of chiffon
the shade of the bodice , or , If liked , of a
contrasting color. As there are neither darts
nor side seams , this airy drapery Is easily
adjusted , and to finish this waist one can

accordion pleated or crimped chiffon frills , In
white , black , cream and fancy colors , with
Persian ribbon or beaded edges.
Even the tweeds and cheviots for spring
: iavo caught the color craze and display
nany gorgeous dyes , and the staid serges
and mohairs , long celebrated for their demure
appearance , show a reckless tendency to
frivolity with their gay chameleon patterns ,
Dresden devices and dashes of brilliant color.
3llks and fancy satins also show those gay
Mendings of color , but a toning and refining
effect Is Imparted by the elegant black cos-
uircs , and those of fawn , gray , belgo and
.ho green and brown fabrics In monochrome ,
vvl.lch In various elegant shades are In high
favor both hero and abroad.
