llfMTIIN lltlll OMlIT NlMfltlcM.
NEW VOIIK , May IS. There la one dnr
Ing , dangerous alternative open to th
woman who Is growing n little weary of th'
predominating blue of this pennon. Blui
of course Is well cnouKh In ltn wny am
almost a universally becoming color , but i
humnn love of variety ha * led to the settlni
up of burnt ornngp as a rival to this queei
nmong fathlonnble tints. 'Though moro o
leas of this pocentric color has been won
for the last six months. It Is only Just be
Klnnlng to assert Itself. Thus fnr Its In
tlucncu la felt chiefly on hats and nt th' '
glove counter , for there Is nothing mor
exquisitely modish one can do than dar
wear a pair of six button burnt orang
BUi'di's , Btltched and buttoned with silk nni
pearl , to exactly match the brilliant skin
To do this requires courage , too , for It I
only the young , the fair , the clear of skli
mid limpid of cyo who ran presume to slam
the test of such close association. She wh
has a complexion less delicate than a. Jun
rose had best make herself content wltl
the mote helpful and cnrcsilng times o
blue , etc. , while a gray-hatred woman shoul
nvoltl burnt orongo as carefully ns troplca
travelers steer clear of the deadly upas tret
With nil the pltllcssnes3f an olectrl
search light It flaunts In public gaze ever
wrinkle and gives gray hair a peculiar drj
dead appearance , that no .hulf-voneratln
woman can relish. Strangely , too , burn
ornge Is not a color the brunette shoul
adopt , or even permit herself the sllghtes
association with. It takes all the color fret
nn olive complexion , and even sheds n gray
unwholesome tint over the youthfulea
brown checks. Par excellence burnt orang
belongs to the bright blonde ; to the blu
eyed \voman or to those glorying In chest
nut hair and milk and carnation cheoki
These daughters of the northern gods kno\
their advantage and arc using the brllllan
color on their hats , dash It In as collars
girdles , rovers , tucked yokes , shirtwaist !
etc.lth dark gowns , and one' pink an
white and gold beauty , who Is to make he
debut at Newport , will wear a mirror velve
gown of burnt orange , relieved only b
cream laces and pearU.
Ilninil Color Kffcetn.
There Is a distinct tendency , among th
women who make dress and Its perfectlo
tlio study of their lives , nnd who therefor
are the selected leaders of fashion , to go
the broad color effects In their wardrobe
to harmonize with the color that predoml
nates In their own visages. For cxamplt
there Is a marked preference for gray amen
those on whoso hair the hand of Tlino has
prematurely or otherwise , been laid. Dlond
young women , at the first spring function
held Indoors , or out , by night or day , wea
a conspicuous amount of yellow , and th
raven-haired brunettes have only Just dls
covered a fact , which portrait painters hav
always been nwaro of , that In black the
looked their best. The dark-browed fash
lonablcs enliven their somber silks an
tissues with , blue , In any ono of the slxteo
jiow popular tones , , and tjo do the nun-lilt
Bray-haired women , nut this record , of th
kaleidoscopic movement of the modei , woul
bo all Incomplete If particular stress was nc
again laid on the steadily growing fondues
for white. A month ago a word was dieppe
about this , since when the wearers of whit
have been rapidly recruiting their rank !
At the early spring luncheons , breakfast !
weddings nnd such high noon festivals th
white Bilk , satin and brocade gowns , not t
eponk of the white embroidered silk gauzei
crepes , etc. , made a most striking appeal
unco. At Borne of the weddings given re
eontly the province of the bride and he
maids was so Invaded by the guests thn
one relative from the country went horn
In the tlrm conviction that her cousin ha
some forty supporters at the altar ; for Jus
that number of women attended her recer
lion In costumes lit for the bridal corteg' '
Up to this moment only the women of grci
wealth have attended luncheons In whit
and short-sleovei
brocades , high-necked
garnished with loco and accompanied I
pearls , white plume loaded hats nnd shot
of white glace kid. The effect Is ono <
gr&it richness and such extravagant splendt
that It cannot but be admired , envied , nni
unhappily enough , copied , by these of lo ;
means and less social pretension.
Drift of FnHliloii.
If any ono should ask a leading modlst
whither we arc drifting she would not hosl
Into to say that the whole current of fashlo
Is setting so strongly In the direction of th
princess gown that by next autumn It wl
bo a dominant n rule of dress as the Spar

months from the date of Its Inception for

the smartest of women will wear the bright
ornament steadily through the summer and
if any feminine soul , hampered by n re
stricted pocketbook , still hankers after the
pretty decorations , let her satisfy her yearnIng -
, Ing now. If ( the wants to keep step with the
I march of style , however , she must adopt
her preferences to appliques , and satisfy
' her craving for the beautiful In slilrrlng and
1 narrow ruining. She may be also sure , that
! a little later on embroidery will coruo to
I hold a most honored plnco In the world of
dress. Out of the east , where the most
exquisite needlework In the world Is done ,
specially woven nnd decorated fabrics arc
being brought for American trade. Bullion
worked gauzes , tulles and silks arc coming
from India , Turkey , North Africa nnd Persia
and n very decllclous novelty In shirt waists
conies from Madras. The garment Is of
cream white Madras , ns soft as silk , tucked
In squares nnd then chastely decorated In
little gold wreaths , along the basts of tucks ,
down the front pleat and on the cuffs. This
I gold embroidery can bo washed repeatedly
: and lose none of its luster , nnd It is the
artistic quality of design nnd the stability
of the workmanship that has brought the
eastern embroidery into such demand.
In the flotsam and jetsam of the mode all
are artists of charming trifles that deserve
patronage , before their time for Hcrvlco
passes. For example , with exceeding wis
dom the manufacturers are turning out
gloves. In what they call summer weight ;
n quality of kid that goes under the French
name of peau des auges. The assumption
Is that angels have very thin and exceed
ingly pliable complexions , for thcso gloves
are scarcely moro than a veil over the hand ,
nnd all of them are stitched In colors of
silk that exactly match the kid. They have
now achieved ns well the art of coloring
pearl buttons any tint or shade desired ,
which adds much to the beauty of this hand-
gear. Mads up neck bows have veered
around , before the wind of fancy , nnd rib
bon stocks do not twist their coquettish
knots either in front or behind. Tie your
bow under your left ear and let tbe loops
* and ends stick out just as far as you please.
1 In the lists of now necl ; tics are noticed
narrowest folds of gros grain silk. This
Is esteemed as far moro modish than the
long tried nnd moro wanting satin. The
gros grain tics knot In the most miniature
bows in front , for all neck decoration with
shirt waists runs now to one of two ex
tremes. Novel shirt waist collars are of
two species , either very , very high , regular
car clippers , else bands of white linen , that
have very narrow turn overs , of faintly
tinted or speckled percale. Collar buttons ol
gun metal , "with tiny diamond chips set In
their tops , are among the tempting trifles ,
and it Is the custom now to wear separate
cuffs , deep rolling bands , or , with white
shirts , straight narrow little colored ifnen
bands.
IllimtrntlonM of Fnnlilon.
Embroidered muslin qunens U easily
over all other thin goods this season , and
of tbo two gowns shown hero ono la n
pale rose colored Swiss , offset by scarlet
embroidered dots. Th'ls little garden party
dress has Its skirt decked with a deep Span
ish flounce set on in points and the bodice
bears a flounce of lace similarly draped
across the bust from shoulder to shoulder.
The waist Hue of this gown is flnisheU by
a girdle made of scarlet satin , to match the
stock of ribbon knotted to tbo side.
The second gown is a sheer wblte silk
gauze , made over a cache corset nnd petti
coat of turquoise blue taffeta. All the rear
breadths of the skirt are corrugated with
tiny flowers of silk gauze , each ono edged
with turquoise blue velvet ribbon. The body
Is similarly trimmed with little ( lutings ,
while a Roman sash , barred In throe tones
of blue with white , clasps the waists. A
Bailor-tie of blue liberty satin encircles the
throat and ties low upon the bust.
The beauties of millinery grow with the
advancing season In color and plcturesqque-
ncss of shape and decoration. Lovely woman
cannot therefore bo upbraided for extrava
gance when such artistic specimens as the
three bats pictured this week are set as
snares in her shopping pathway. No. 1 is
shepherdess shape of black lace ; the crown
belted and banded with burnt orange rib
bon garnished with a lustrous brilliant
buckle and topped by a great palo blue
feather. No. 2 Is a white chip gurder
frame trimmed with pufflnga of bUcV
chiffon , a garland of mysotls flowers and i
swathing of pale green taffeta. The tblnl

\ylth broad yellow roses , gray green foliage

WHAT ONI3 WOMAN TIIIMCS.
An AritiiiiuMit In Fnvor of n
of WOIIH-M.
Alice Lee Moquc , a medical doctor of
Washington , D. C. , Is anxious to see n "now
woman regiment" formed , nnd sees no rea
sons , she says , why' It should not go to the
front. In defense of her certainly grotesque
claim she says :
"What will we do , wo who are'denied citi
zenship ? What of us who , by accident of
birth , are doomed to be known ns merely
the protected , not the protectors , of our
nation's honor ? What of us who arc denied
the joy of action , the fame of heroism , the
glory of victorious valor , the fame of the
bloody battlefield , the honored scar of con
flict , the eacrcd bed of the nation's sleeping
martyrs ? Is It not time for America to
wake to the volco of her daughters , to heca
their cry for citizenship and to accept their
loyal service ? "Tempora mutantur , nos et
mutamur In lllls ! "
It is idle to claim that all women arc
weak ; that all women must bo protected ;
that all women need to be shielded , or that
all women are physically inferior as a class ,
as it is untrue that all men are strong , all
protectors or are physically whole. It la
beyond cavil that there are thousands ol
men who , by drink , are totally unfitted for
active service ; it Is also true that other
thousands are of delicate constitution , pre
disposing them to disease , and whose enlist
ment means at most but a few months ol
usefulness , and still other thousands who
buy substitutes or who find their way to the
hospital ( not because of any shot or shell ,
but by fatigue , disease and exposure ) . Bui
the patriot of health , of sound body , ol
clear cyo and unclouded brain , If she be
a female , must stand aside , while her wcakci
brothers ore chosen for work they are in
capable of performing , simply because of the
sex bias , born of Ignorance , wedded to con
servatism , which refuses to accept the
change in the status of women wrought b }

body of the female patriot nro chained to
Inactivity to be consumed by the unquench-

No ono can help the mistakes of nature.
No ono can alter the color of the eyes or
the spontaneous enthusiasm of the soul. No

COCK.
In It , " to use a slang expression of tha day
nnd bears a reputation , though still youiiK
of possessing considerable horse sense am
a practical way of doing business.
Until last year Mrs. Woodcock contcntei
herself with attending to her stables am
making money In that rather prosaic fash
Ion , but seeing In Paul T , a colt she hai
raised , Indications of swiftness and cndur
once , she tried her fortunes on the rae
track nnd almost at once earned a rcputa
lion as the fastest sulky driver In the world
The race in which she gained this dlstlnc
tlon was run nt Plttsfleld , Me. , and was woi
by Paul T in three straight heats , the tlnn
being 2:22 : , 2:21 : nnd 2:22 : respectively. Tin
racu came off on the Kxoter track , which 01
the occasion had attracted some of the fore
most horsemen in the United States.
This Incident , very little noticed nt tin
time , Is Important as showing the rapid
though noiseless , advance of women into i
province which men had hitherto dcemei
exclusively their own. Since Mrs. Wood
cock carried off the ribbon many dlstln
guished society women in and out of Mnln
have taken to the race track pour passe
lo temps. It Is an exhilarating way n
spending money , while If they make an :
it is simply Intoxicating. Mrs. Woodcocl
Is of the opinion that women arc dcstlnui
to roflne horse racing. As for herself per
sonally she Ilnds her experiences pleasant
She says :
"Paul T , though my fastest horse , is no
the only good ono I have raised. I hav
quite n number of others , though Paul 1
can boast the best ancestors. I drove 01 :
Westland a mile at Portland , Me. , li
2:201-4 : , which IB faster than her record o
2:23 : , and came In almost neck and necl
without a break against the fast horse Mcr
rll , known throughout this country am
England. I am at present engaged break
ing in a yearling filly of my own , whos <
grand si re Is Nelson , a horae with celcbratei
dams and sires. In fact I nni a profes
slonal horsewoman and do not deem it a
all beneath my dignity ns a woman ti
drive a handsome horse with a sulky behind
hind it , always assuming that I am prop
erly attired for the occasion. My husbani
and I have been to all the state fairs am
many of the county fairs with trotting stocl
on exhibition and I have always beci
treated with the courtesy and consldcratioi
duo to my sex. "
Mrs. Woodcock and her friends are abou
to organize a club to bo composed altogcthc
of leading horsewomen.
OF OTII1CH LANDS.
Women Who Iltivc Fouurlit for Tlicli
Country.
Military records contain quite a numbe :
of instances in which women , disguised a
men , have entered the army and dlstln
guished themselves on the battlefield , the !
sex not being discovered for many year
afterward.
In 1872 a soldier , who had enlisted undo
the name of Paul Daniel , attracted the at
tentlon of a sergeant whilst drilling a bed ;
of recruits at Portsmouth. At the concluslo
of the parade ho sent for Daniel , and state
his suspicions in regard to the recruit's sex
In seeing that the game was up , Danlc
confessed that she was a female , and burs
Into tears when she was Informed that sh
could no longer continue with the regiment
It appeared that her husband , after gettlm
through a largo fortune , had fled to Ger
many , where he had enlisted , and bis wlf
performed the deception in the hope that , a
a soldier , she might be dispatched for serv
Ice in that country , and thus discover he
unfaithful partner.
A most remarkabje woman was found t
bo serving as an ordinary soldier In a certal
German corps toward the end of the laa
century. Her sex was revealed owing to
false charge of theft being niado agalna
her , after she had been performing her mill
tary duties in the regiment for over si
months. Before this she bad served In .
regiment of cuirassiers for two years , ii
one engagement receiving a wound in th
arm , and afterward joining the Grenadiers
Being captured by the enemy , she managci
to make good .her escape , and promptl ;
enlisted again in a regiment of volunteers
and but for the unfortunate charge referrci
to might have spent her life in milltar ;
pursuits.
In 1TC ! ) a woman niado n determined cffor
to enlist iu the East Indian company forces
Although she was disguised perfectly as i
man , her voice and her manner gave he :
away. When the magistrate told her tha
her application was hopeless she burst lnt <
tears , saying that this was her only clianci
of seeing her husband again , who was thei
serving in India.
A woman who boasted that she bad i
unique career died In 1782 at Poplar. Foi
the greater part of her life she had aervet
as an ordinary seaman , on several mou-of
war , wbero her true sex was not once BUS
poctod.
As opposed 'to these women who havi

new 'life that immediately exhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost Immediately , and it
speedily banishes forever from the skin ,
freckles , pimples , blackheads , moth patches ,
wrinkles , liver spots , roughness , olllneas ,
eruptions and dlscoloratlons of any kind.

their Oreat Discovery , the Misses Dell will ,
