NK\V YORK , Nov. 4. The characteristic
features of this winter's ball dresses are the
wonderful bright colors adopted In their ma
terials , the vast amount of giuzes and vtll-
Ings employed In the draperies and the re
vival of flnwcr wreaths In decoration. The
popular dancing toilet for a debutante and
ono of the very Inexpensive ones han an un-
derdrcss of clear scarlet , watermelon pinker
or vivid yalc blue tiffctn silk of the thin
nest , most crinkling , rustling quality. One
narrfiw ruffle of silk , having Its edges pinked ,
Is set on at the foot , and then over this
gnyly colored slip falls a cloudllko petticoat
of whllo brusEo'H not or point do c. iirlt.
Whatever the net may he , though , one
thins Is sure , the not skirt must be very
wide , full , gathered nt the top and left with
Its cdRfs cut off evenly , but unhemmed. at
the bottom. Not Invariably , however , docs
thli vcllllko top skirt extern ! quite from the
waist line to the slippered toes. There Is a
marked preference shown for celling on the
light ovcrdrcas In the form of an oddly
Bhapcd deep Ilounco , adjusted like a round
ovoreklrt or wide diagonal ruffle. The top
of the rufllo l.i nnlshoJ then with a big
pufflng of net or , more chinning still , a
diminishing wreath of some brlght-hued
flowers.
All this effort goes to provo that the am
ple decoration ef skirts Is becoming more
nnd mo-n the custom oml no woman who
alma at following the fashions at all leaves
oven her simplest evening dress quite plain
below the waist. If she does not use net
to veil her skirt she sets on ruflles In all
manner of odd and pretty devices , using
narrow llttlo flutes rf muslin set very close
together , or she docs what Is equally novel
nnd pretty In ntrlplng elglng or laying on
in deep point ? or ( scallops crisp puttings of
tnUHlht or chiffon.
KVKNINO STUFF'S.
Rrtisscls net nnd point esprit take the lead
In the list of veilings , flrst because they arose
so very pretty , so much more durable than
tulle and chiffon , nnd then , owing to the all
Important fact that they are not nearly so
costly aa the latter. Chiffon naturally , among
the exquisite Parisian creations , atlll holds
lla own and in the mcst lovely guises possi
ble to Int'glno. The Imported varieties are
to bo seen embroidered In tiny gold and
silver roses , or the surface of every jard
covered with arabesques of baby ribbon or
honlton tupo , gathared , ami tno edges fiwt-
cnod to the chiffon. Still another exquisite
chiffon Is woven In rainbow coloin nnd
clamped with Japanese designs of flowers ,
flocks of birds ar J oven shadowy landscapes.
These nro gorgeous effects tlwt the eco
nomical woman mcrelv stops to admire and
without very deep pa"gs of covctousncss for
llttlo Icrfl lovely nnd a far better Investment
Is the liberty silk th&t plays some part In
nearly every evening toilet now made. This
beautiful gauzy goods shares popularity v/lth
the arts for robing and draping over bright
light Bilk. It oin bo bought In very nearly
every Imaginable tint and after It u.is done
duty aa an overdress for n couple of seasons
It can bo ripped off and utilized In trim
ming hats , cut Into sash lengths , summer
hat veils , or disposed as shoulder scarfs , etc.
HEADY MADE.
Thrifty shopkeepers are selling for th § con
i venience of those who wl'h lo freshen up
old evening dresses at homo , skirt patterns
of the new shaded liberty gauze. Kor this
purpose the wide cloudy goods Is dyed In
rolnbow effects , shading on one edge from the
deepest poppy red to the faintest rose on the
olftorr or from emerald green to the softest
eau do nil. This exquisite colored material ,
\Yhlch. Is woven from forty to forty-two
Inches In width. Is then made ready for sale
by bolng accordion plaited for Immediate ap
plication to a foundation skirt and waist.
It Is scarcely necessary to enlarge upon
'
tjio advantage of th'is , for by using such an
overdress and decorating the bodice and per
chance the skirt with a few flowers , a most
captivating little costume can be composed
In the briefest time and at no eUravagint
outlay.
Besides plaiting the manufacturers make
ready for sale this same silk , both shirred
and gathered Into round skirt bands for
slipping over any suitable uuderdrcss. The
shirred silk Is adopted largMy for the mak
ing of bodices , for filling In pouched fronts
nnd for the long , transparent gathered
Blcovcs , still so much the mode and BO dim-
cult to make effective otherwise.
A few years ago there was Introduced
ifrom the other side a costly material that
was called Bengal satin , nnd never gained
half the notoriety It deserved. This season
we have It relntroduccd under a new name
nnd price ns Liberty satin and Us merlto
nro fully recognized. In quality It seema
as line ns the best duchess weave , while It
falls In folds as soft ns ths Liberty silk , and
Is well within the means of every womau
who caters shrewdly for her wardrobe. More
than this It Is ono of the satins very young
girls as well as tholr mothers can wear
with equal propriety.
SKIUT3 AND DODlCRS.
Its chief adoption for the ball room Is
In making skirts for wear with contrastIng -
Ing bodices. The skirt Is In some wise
decorated and the bodice Is either made all
of shirred liberty silk or ol , a charming
evening bcngallne that dcssrves special men
tion , because It gives nil the , effect of a
rich brocaded silk at one-fourth the ordi
nary price. '
'Jnstwd of really wearing brocaded or even
flatly Interwoven figures this silk In pcml ,
plnlc or Ivory white , is stamped over with
bouquet1 ; of roses , knots of pink and white
geraniums or scarlut verbena. Such a
llawor.'d bcngallno bodice , worn with a skirt
of liberty .satin is among the Illustration.- )
given this week.
The plain skirt 's ' garnished with narrow
rulllca of cicam white point esprit nnd the
bodice , bright with a crimson geranium pat
tern on a cream ground , Is draped after a
ntw Krench fashion , folded high uii ono
shoulder nnd low on the other. A girdle of
xatln to match the xklrt forms a belt , whlln
n noticeably pretty feature are the lace ,
edged scarfs of point esprit falling over
bust nnd olthT hip from puffs of not on the
shoulders. This Is one of the latest methods
of disposing the still popular sashes thai
nro by no means always arranged lo fall
out behind. '
FIOHAL TIUMMINOS.
Now n word about lace and flowers. They
aru both lavishly used In the embellishment
of ball dresses. Not a few model gowns ,
teen from Paris , are HO wiled in lace , both
black and white , as to prouiUe a return of
tlio 1'iitlro lacn dress to papular use. On
skirts deep , roil ml flounced are employed and
on 'tho counters are admirable Imitations of
I'lir.cUllly and guipure , mcchlln and maltcue ,
at amazingly tempting prices , In the cream
laces none in more worn than the muko
known as Her , that has all the charm of
a costly rnpll'iuo ' and yet Is not at all dear ,

nuvor seen before , Ono of tlio dres.imakei's
pretty devices Is to decorate a white gown
with foliage only and a simple white muslin ,
fairly wreathed in artificial emllux , was ono
ofthe most successful gownn that ever
oi.tnicd the season.
A gay llttlo frock of Her lace , draped over

greater number are cut short and finish

fully to the wrist or there Is n mere finish

jority of costumes show the long transparent

pleted with double frills falling over the
hand. In some shops It Is possible to buy
not or lace or chiffon sleeves all ready made ,
which proves a tremendous boon to the
woman who docs over her party dresses at
ho.me.
As a last touch to dancing gowns , It must
bo mentioned that Invariably something Is
worn around the neck. That something may
be a r.atlr , ribbon tied In n 1 > ow behind , or a
ribbon with lace lappets falling over at the
Lack. Occasionally a piece of bias satin Is
used , drawn through a heart-shaped rhinestone -
stone buckle In front nnd knotted large In
the rear. A scarf of chiffon often serves ,
and some women wear stock collars to balls ,
nil made of shrcddlngs from pink silk ro.sis
or ostrich feathers.
Hut whatever the collar may be , It Is
chosen In a very bright color nnd In a shade
that sharply contrasts with the gown worn.
A poppy red velvet collar Is selected for
wear with n blue or green gown , and an
I orange satin ono with a lavender or black
costume , for , especially with young glrla.
this brilliant touch at the throat takes the
place of any Jewels. M. DAVIS.
iio.iiic MAIM : SACHHTS.

Now that the garments of summer are
finding retirement In the clothes press nm
tiunk sachets and potpourri are much In
demand. The simplest sachet of all , and
one of the most attractive to those who Ilka
faint , suotlo odors , will be found In. a substance -
stance that frequently occurs In de-ntlfrlce
powdered orrlH root. This can bo used , Just
as It Is bought , without any other prepara
tion than the making of containers. Ordi
nary llttlo mus'.lia .bags , well packed with the
orris root , make sachets which , uftcr even a
week or two , Impart the mild fragrance of
the violet to the put-away clothing among
which they are placed. i
As to the cost of orris root. It varies a
llttlo with the market , but a good article
should bo had for from 25 to 40 cents a
pound. It depends a good deal , of course ,
upon where you buy It.
Amothcr fragrant bichot , of greater
strength , can bo made by using dried lav-
ouder flowers In the game fashion. Lav
ender flowers can bo purchtccil at any drug
stcro for from 30 to10 cents a pound.
Hut the sachet maker who has both ihesa
Ingredients on hand can obtain still other
varieties of very pleasant scents by mixing
the two In various proportions. One part ,
by weight , of powdered orris root with two
parts of dried lavender flowers will produce
another delightful scent. Simply rcvei-slog
these proportions , and using two parts of
SHADED LIBERTY SILIC AND POPPIES.
orris root to one of lavender flowers will pro
duce another sweet smelling scent.
Suppose a ntronger variety of violet scent
Is wanted than can be obtained from the
orris root alone. This Is oislly accomplished
Take equal weights of orris root and pulver
ized starch. Over the starch pour two or
three drops at n time , of a strong extract
of violets. Take , cire mot to add enough of
the extract to make the starch paste-like , or
oven lumpy.
Keep stirring the starch until It Is thor
oughly nnd evenly Impregnated with the violet
let scent. Now add the orris root to the
stnrch , mixing them thoroughly , and finally
passing the mixture , three or four times
through an ordinary patent flour sitter. As
noon ns this Is done either put the sachet
powder Into sachet bags , or Into a wide-
mouthed bottle end stopped It tightly. An
alr-tlght preserving Jar will nnswcr the pur-
pos9 of a wide-mouthed bottle. Remember
always to keep sachets from the air until
you are ready to use them for the purpose
for which they are made.
The reader who likes the scent of verbena
can prepare a cachet of Ions lasting frag
rance. Snvo the peels of the lemons which
como Into the household. Cut the peels up
In small bits and dry. When enough of dried
peal has bcetn saved to weigh half a pound ,
reduce. It to a powder. This can bo done In
the ordinary kitchen coffco mill. To this
add an ounce and n half of caraway eeeJs ,
powdered , and mix the two well together.
Over this pour n few drops at a time , a mix
ture of one and a half drams of oil of lemon
peel and three ounces of oil of bcrgamot.
The resull will bo a very dainty powder.
Powdered coriander seed nnd powdered
flag root ( calamus ) may bo mixed together
to form other sachets , and the proportion In
which each Is to be used may safely be left
to the Individual taste of the users. Doth of
these Ingredients may bo added In small
quantities to any of the nbovo recipes with
pleasing results.
In making sachet powders one general
direction must bo borne In mind each In
gredient must bo powdered before mlxkig.
Potpomvl should bo made before the season
of outdoor flowers passes. Pick the most
fragrant flowers In your garden , raising by
all withered blossoms. Pick the flowers apti't ,
placing the petals on nlatra ajul placing the
latter where the sun can shlno upon them.
Let the petals thus contluo to dry In the
sun for several days. |
Each flower may be nude Into potpourri
by Itself or the different flowers may bo
mixed In any variety and proportion that
pleases the maker. Klovcra which have
llttlo or no accnt should bo left out.
When the flowers are 'veil dried sprinkle
them with table salt. Do not omit this ,
as It Is Important. The right proportion la
about tViO ounces of the salt to each pound
of leaves. If also two ounces of powdered
orris root are added and well mixed In with
the dried petals the fragrance and permananco
are Improved , Now the potpourri Is ready |
to put In the Jars that are Bold for thai
purpose.

\i > I.onurcr FiiHliloniililo to Go Into
KcHturlew Ovc-r Kltlirr of Them ,
John Templn Graves , editor of the At
lanta Journal , In a late lecture on "Tho
-Now Woman nnd the Old , " said :
"It is no longer fashionable to go into
ecstacics over woman. She Is no longer a
sentiment , she Is a problem , and It is now
our unhappy mission to grapple with her ,
or surrender , as I have done. The Issues
she brings are vital. They take tlielr places
among 'the Issues of the times ; nnd In tholr
scope , in their Importance , in their far-
reaching effects , Involving as they do a full
half of the human race and the destiny of
the whole race , it may bo well said that
woman's struggle for her rights and nobler
standards makes up the foremost problem
of the world. After 0,000 years of subordina
tion and acceptance , woman [ a at last in
rebellion against the things that ba , For
sixty centuries she has boon content to
crown the victor m the lists of human en
deavor ; now she Is herself In the lists for
the crown and the laurels of strife. We , In
the exigency of this material age , repeat
the cry , "Itoom for a lady , ' And wo have
made room for her ; or , rather , she has made
It for herself. In every form of discussion
and In ovcry field of strife , liu the profes
sions and In the trades , In the ranks of
the workers everywhere , she has won her
way and held her own. Her triumphs over
heathen prejudice have been magnificent ,
but tmo baa not yet released the sword of
progress. She la marching on to new fields
and wider triumphs.
'Tirst , then , woman has won her way to
the Bcboole of the country. She has con
verted the prejudice which Ins shut her out
from her education. Thanks to her own per
sistent courage und against the persistent
protest of narrowncsi and bigotry , she has
ennobled and -glorified the privilege of In
telligence. Kor a thousand years men have
said : that woman had no brain for a higher
development , and that her limited capacities
were safer within the limited sphere to
which his standards hold her. Men have
glorified her Judgment under the name of
Intuition ; they have refused to credit It to
brulni , I remember that when I was young
I was told that it was bad form to ak A
woman n. reason fop nor opinion ; that she
had no reason but was mighty In Intuition.
Marvelous quality , wonderful creature , she
sees without 'eyes , thinks without reason ,
he Is Int'ilHUo | .without logical processes.
\V hat U left for ( men to conclude but that
sh& Is divine , that Intuition Is an Itupliatlon ,
and that uomAn' * love touched the divine
In ts scope and got Infallibility for the ob
ject of Its lavel , ' . nut it never entered my
head that there .might be brains In a
woman's IntiilVW She has nobly demon
strated her capacity for higher education.
"In 1840 , when the great Harriet Mar-
tlncau came tt thV country , she found only
seven paying occupations Into which women
had entered. They were allowed to teach , to
sew , they could keep boarding houses and
iroko hash , they were allowed to bo factory
operatives , nnd to enter printing offices , and
become bookbinders by trade. The last fed
eral census shows list of more than 3GOD
employments In which woman Is honorably
and successfully ongnged. The sex Is filling
everywhere places of trust and profit with
conspicuous success. It Is stated upon au
thority that there are In this country 975
women preaching the gospel , 1,185 practic
ing medicine , over 6.000 managing post offices
nnd about 3,000,000 earning Independent In
comes. "
Speaking of woman suffrage , ho said :
"Tho best reason , of course , U the great ,
eternal principle that taxation and rcpre-
scnlallon must be coequal nnd coextensive.
She who can vote her stock In a bank meet-
In. , ! ? rightly thinks that she should be coun
seled when the Issues dealing with the bankIng -
Ing system are In debate. She who can vote
her railroad stock ought to bo counseled In
dealing with railroads. She who can vote In
the school committee should have duo weight
In the consideration of educational laws.
She who by honest labor earns the money to
pay In full her honest taxes rightly thinks
that she should have an equal voice In de
ciding how and by whom those taxes are to
bo expended. And she who Is the queen
nnd guardian of the homo may well Insist
thai her vote shall supplement her perils In
thosa mighty questions that concern her
children and her home. "

The mysteries of the throtllo of n locomo

year-old California girl , who Is undoubtedly
the youngest engineer In the world. She
thoroughly understands how to handle an
engine on some of the most difficult curves
nnd grades in the west , arid has made trips
over a road where the least false move would
have cost her nnd others their lives.

FOR EVENING FULL'DUUSS.
glno wlilch was controlled by this pretty ,
falr-lmlred girl , Miss Lola M. Coulter , who
takes a keen Interest In machinery. She
had only bad the benefit of a few lessons ,
ns a railroad In the country where she re-
olden was unknown until a few weeks ago ,
when the now road was built to Dom Pedro ,
Tuolumno county. The big locomotive Inter
ested her at once and It was not many days
before she \vnn In the cab making a careful
study of all the machinery.
The first construction train which reached
the top of Crimea hill , near Stockton , com
pletely revolutionized the world to her , and
she lost no tlmo In making the acquaintance
of Engineer J. Brown , who was lier Ideal
man , as ho knew how to manage the Iron
horse , which she almcst loved. Miss Lola
Ufu Installed as an assistant , and no cab
pilot or fireman ever worked more earnestly
to mastet the Ins and outx of the machinery
they hoped to have charge of some day than
the little miss , who followed ovcry move of
the grim engineer.
After three cr four lesains she could hpndle
the throttle , but when she had been In the
cab two or three weeks she know almost as
much as the engineer about how to turn on
nnd off the j cam , 8e' ' tl10 lralccs' slow l'P '
when rouwllpg a , turn , or put on more speed
when approaching a steep grade. She was
not content with1 learning how to make the
wheels movd'or p op , but wanted to know all
of the details. '
There are not .many . miles of straight or
level .track on the new road , as It Is built
In a very mountainous country , The curves
are as short ; as they can be made and the
grades are as steep as an engine can pull a
few coaches'iup , yet she has run the loco
motive from 'one end of the railway to the
other many times ; of late without the slight
est mlslmp.u'rr t ) engineer , of course , occu
pied the cab , but he does not have to give
her any InntriioMons now as to when she
should slow'.down for she has her eyes on
the track ahead , and knows as well ns lo )
does the tlmo U > apply th s brakes before
taking a curve. . * .
Winding around th brow of n hill , with
a deep chasrii ynVnlng beneath , or over tall
trestles , requires a. cool head and sready
nerves. Miss Coulter possesses both , : md
does not seem to know what far means ,
While she thoroughly enjoys HID j nrlloui
rldus she never loses sight of the danger
connected with them and always ) ifn her
hanila on the throtllo and air briko lover
to bring the train to a standstill at an In-
Btant's notice.
Engineer Drown takes a great Interest In
his pupil and Is very proud of hor. Ho
says she learned how to handle the engine
much quicker than any fireman ho over
had In a cab with him and that ho never
had to repeat any Instructions , U appeared
to bo second nature with her to operate
machinery for she mastered the most dim-
cult details almost Instantly.

Gorgeous red silk and satin broche linings

The dominant note of very many of the
lovely evening toilets from Paris Is the
lavish use of transparent textiles of every
wenx'o. Hnt nnil dnvlrn.
Cream-colored point do Venlae , with silk
net top , Is In great lisa for the decoration
of dancing tollcle of palest. Ken-gray , golden
green , Persian mauve , silks and satins.
A suggestion for evening bodice wear Is
rose chiffon over greoa silk. Sheer Krcnch
muslin will be worn all winter , as will
also organdie , tnoussclluc , tulle and net , over
brlgbt-hued silks.
A basque waist that la a boon to stout
figures Is very smooth across the upper
tack with a slight fullness arranged In email
plaits toward the center of the whilst line ,
and considerable fullness at the center of
the front.
Checkerboard weaves are much seen In
fancy silks and satins , but unlike Woolen
fabrics , In which the effect la produced by
varying the weave , the result hero Is pro
duced by changing the shade.
Some natty costumes of ladles' .cloth de
signed for slender young women mo made of
two shades of the material , the fronts of the
blouse trimmed with cloth straps completely
covered with rows of handsome braid or silk
cord applique.
The new winter palds ! appear In all wool ,

and satins , and the puffed and ihlrred val-
veto , chiffons , silks and various liberty tex
tiles , these handsomn fancy materials bring
RolJ by the yard ready to bo made Inlo ac

Soft kid mules nnd sandals wilt ho worn
this winter with evening toilets and tea-
gowns n la Qrecquo and a 1'Emplre. Soma
are ornamented with gold braid and an In
step ornament executed with 1'crsl'in heads
la substituted for the customary buckle.
Colored undressed slippers appear In many
different shades , consequently there Is llttls
dirtlculty In mulching them to various gowni.
A dark , bronze-colored suede kid la a vorjr
good choice for those who cannot afford a
variety , though a black glace or undressed
kid foot covering Is tnoro satisfactory and
really elegant all around than a colored ono
of any possible tint ,
There Is nothing tnoro comfortable than
the omplro lounging robes. They may 'bs

ing robe may bo made of tashmcrus , soft
silken textures , Utttstes In woolens , bareges
or cotton materials , and there Is no limit
to the way In which they are trimmed with
laces and ribbons. Girdles and belts are
not a necessity , but a choice with this gar
ment.
Tba taste for Klilncwtcnes nnd French
brilliants Increases constantly. Merchants
display a wonderful assortment of dress
trimming scintillating with these mock
gems , and milliners take varied assortments
of pi no , brooches and fanciful ornaments set
with these stmes to Insert among the foliage
and flowers with which their hats and bon
nets are laden. Slides set with rows of peb
bles nro worn on neck ribbons , ami1 single
glittering stones are mounted In metal t

arabesques. i i | .jj
