NBW YORK , May I. The tailors nlwayi
have an abundance of now and pretty notion ;
on hand , and their latest proof of this li
displayed by facing the lapels ot gray nnc
fawn coats with heavy cream renaissance 01
Arabian point lace. They use the cream lacer <
or gray Russian point on the broad rovers o
their black cloth coats also , and the resull
Is admirable. This scheme ought to make
a strong appeal to women of a thrifty turn
because though It Is qulto trim that th (
lace docs soil In time. It Is also easllj
plucked off , cleaned and put back again.
There Is another and still shrewder tailor
Ing device that deserves the ihlghcsl
encomiums from women. This IB the skirl
with the detachablebottom. . A skirt Is ul
that drops to about golf length and thcr
quite separate from It Is made a Bllghtlj
pored flounce , along the top edge of whicl
are worked many small buttonholes. , Now
when the day docs not promise a. smlllnf
face the skirt 1s worn out under It ;
abbreviated guise , but If the cyo of thi
morning Is clear then the buttonholes In the
top of the flounce plcco are brought Intc
connection with a Bcrics of llttlo buttons run
nlng along the Inside of the skirt's bottom
and In about ono moment a complete ful
length walking garment of the latcs
fashionable form Is the result.

by this means It Is possible foi n woman
ot slender and graceful proportions 'to dis

vantage , and particularly well do these se
verely simple shcnfchllko gowns show ofl
the wraps of the season.
The Neiv Shoulder Cnpc.
At the weddings and races of Into tall
svclt women In rear-buttoned gowns have
worn their cblffon and lace capes fastened
by handsome clasps on cither shoulder , and
then flung back to hang as effective back
grounds for round waists and delicate hips ,
Some of thcso now capes are even made so
that they cannot come forward ovct the bust ;
Insldo they are lined with a delicate color ,
and then a hugely full flounce of c til ft on falls
In shell ruche all about the cdgo of the capo.
Another very Interesting typo of wrap Is
the short coat In palo colored cloth that has
Us fronts Insldo , overlaid with whlto satin
and then frill after frill of lace or chiffon
draped upon this. Such a coat Is of course
expected to bo well open and display Us
delicate Interior mechanism to cither side ,
a shirt front of bright silk and lace , upon
ivhlch , of course , the Inevitable pearl or
bead chain falls.
The Inevitable Clmlii.
A string of pearls seems now as essential
to tbo feminine costume as handkerchiefs
or gloves , and there are various ways ol
wearing the really cleverly Imitated gems.
The first fashionable method is to wrap a
Hiring of medium sized beads three times
close about the dress collar , and then let
ono long loop fall well below the waist line.
Another notion Is to wind a rope of seed
pearls about the base of the collar , and the
third and newest fancy , with an evening
dress , Is 'to wind a string twice round the
nok and then letting a loop fall and pass
a double twist about the tapering waist.
In place of all the other memento cases ,
of crystal and metal , the preference Is
momentarily accorded to the ox-heart locket.
For some unexplained reason thcso fat ,
round llttlo hollow lockets are not worn
conspicuously. They are usually the re
ceptacles , slnco the Spanish war , ot some
relic that will not fit In a flat locket and
which Is too sacred to bo hung outside. An
ox-heart case , of gold or silver , is attached
to one end of a La Valllero chain and the
nhort length of chain with Its Jeweled orna
ment , bobbing at the breast or belt , merely
denotes the hidden ox-heart case.
ICmliroltliTfil MunllnM.
If the top note of character In the winter
fashions was sounded by the spangled not
dress , the same effect is achieved for the
warm weather by the embroidered muslin.
It la everywhere all powerful and the nil
absorbing fancy of women. Of course from
Paris have been brought over remarkable
Milt and India muslins elaborate with the
nervously exquisite work of patient needles
gulilcd by human figures , and these costly
cobwebs In lemon and orchid , mauve and
rarest green and cream , have been made up
with lace , hung over silk and sold to wealthy
women.
For all that , there are lovely machine
embroidered muslins to bo had for a very
reasonable "price " , to bo hung over tinted
undcr-dresscs and to plcaso the most
fastidious taste. Some of the muslins are
embroidered only In spots Ilko miniature
rose windows of needle work ; others nro
dress patterns of whlto Swiss with Gothic
tnlcerlea fretted over , and whatever Is dona
the cffcvt Is not nt all Ilko that ot the
muslin pierced or treated with lace , of which
wo saw eo anucli last summer.
A great many of the most Interesting
taffeta foulards nro being made up with yoke
and sleeves of embroidered muslin and now
and then dressmakers have orders to nialco
up muslin gowns that their wealthy patrons
liavo embroidered with their own hands or
ordered from expert needlewomen. Under

llrlilt-KroiiniH ,
Until this season brldes-clcct noAcr np-t
peareil at any social gathcrlu : of Importauco
after their wedding cards were Issued. That
rule Is now a dead letter , and up to the day
before her wedding a young woman Is eecn
everywhere. Of course this Is the natural
result ot the recent and reasonable revolt
against putting together an elaborate trous
seau. Smart girls In New York society , for
Instance , who are marrying this spring have
provided themselves with suitable wardrobes
for the season and nothing more , and this ,
with the getting ot the wedding dress , has
loft thorn tlmo and strength for all the pass
ing gaieties cf the moment.
Another now and Interesting point In the
present busy hymeneal season Is the very
early sending out ot Invitations. Cards are
posted Just a month before the day of the
wedding , and a rule somehow lias arisen
ordaining that directly on receipt of the
Invitation the wedding present must be
sent , or within four days after receiving the
Inlvltatlon. By this means the bride Is not
troubled with the straggling In of gifts up
to the very day ot the ceremony and a heavy
demand on her vocabulary of thanks all In
the week preceding her marriage and maybe
the week after.
There Is also another deep laid design In
sending out Invitations so early. A bride
who posts her carda for weeks before the
gieat day fully expects her friends to call
upon her promptly , and t > y skillful conver a-
tlon acquire a pretty clear notion of what
she really wants In the way of a gift. Rela
tives and Intimate friends nro expected to
openly solicit her -wishes on that point , or
you can take asldo her mother , who knows
the young lady's wishes , and will consider
ately give helpful tire In silver bric-a-brac ,
pictures , Jewelry , etc.
I iiKiiK < * iiiciit IMtclivrH.
To her really clcso friends a girl of course
writes notes announcing her engagement and
expecting In return not only congratulations ,
tut an engagement souvenir.
Iy ) the men the occasion can bo marked
with flowers , but by women the memento
now takes the form of a pitcher. In glass ,
goltl , silver , pewter and all the varieties of
porcelain thcso pitchers are given , nearly all
of them small and engraved or painted with
Bomo appropriate sentiment expressing good
wishes. The llttlo Jug IB always sent full or
flowers or bon bens , and the giving of ono
of these , when the engagement Is announced ,
by no means absolves the giver from tht >
duty and expense of a wedding present.
Only recently have wo adopted the Eng
lish custom of displaying the wedding gifts ,
mid this Is done Just two days before ttio
m\rrlngo : In the library , and a luncheon Is
given or refreshments served to these bidden
to view the Jewels and silver , etc. Every
body who has contributed a gift , of cours ,
Is asked , and the Invitations consist only of
the young lady's visiting card , on which is
written below her name the words "at
1iome , " tlitn In the left hand lower cornet- ,
"to view the wedding gifts from 4 to C. "
Every ono Is supposed to bring his or hei-
card along and turn It In to the servant at
the door us a voucher of one's Identity.
For this spring a new type of announce
ment card has been Issued very successfully ,
U consists of a small brlstol board square
bearing the maiden name and address of the
woman , tied by a bit of whlto ribbon to a
larger card on which Is engraved her
married named coupled with that of her
husband , and then below their address and
day at home.

Too many persons nro negligent In
acknowledging the receipt of n wedding In
vitation , or are puzzled to know Just how
such an Invitation should be treated , ac
cepted or regretted , One fixed rule to keep
In mind Is the Importance of acknowledging
this courtesy and doing so promptly. If
asked to the church only answer by the
accepted formula In the third person , saying
"Mr. and Mrs. Illank accept with pleasure
Mr. and Mrs. So and So's kind invitation to
the marriage of their daughter on June 21 , at
3:30 : o'clock , at St. John's church , " or "Mr.
and Mrs. Illank regret that Illness ( or
absence ) will prevent their acceptance , etc. "
This same phrasing Is employed when the
i Invitation Is to the church and the house

Miss Inez Curtcss Is a young New York
woman who has by her pluck and energy
built up a large and lucrative business as a
visiting milliner. Speaking of her work , she
says :
"I been mo an errand girl In ono of the
most fashionable millinery establishments of
New York when I was 13 years old , and can
remember perfectly with what awe I used
to look up to the trimmers of the store.
Why , I thought to be able to sit In the
house nil day and twist pretty ribbons and
flowers Into hats the most delightful occupa
tion In the world , second only to riding In a
carriage nnd wearing the hats.
"In tlmo I was taken In as an extra trim
mer in the busy season , with , however ,
the pay of a girl about the store. I worked
under those conditions until the following
fall , when my wages were raised. Gradually
I became the one to whom all the making
up ot old materials was Intrusted , for you
know that oven in the fashionable establish
ment where I worked there are some patrons
who refuse to throw away good materials.
It was a branch of the business that tbo head

They say -that the best hotel In Texas Is
to be found at Belton , a town on the Santa
Fe road , and it Is kept by "seven sanctified
sisters , " as the proprietors are popularly
called. Several years ago , relates , the Chicago
cage Record , a woman In that place and her
husband quarreled over the best way of ex
pounding the scriptures to a Sunday school
class and were so stubborn that they sepa
rated and were finally divorced. The family
controversy was .taken . up by the town ,
which was soon distinctly divided between
the adherents of the husband and the ad
herents of the wife. The result was a largo
crop of divorces and seven husbandless

most of their patrons were men , of course.
People say that women travelers preferred
to stop elsewhere , and that would bo a
woman's way. One of the "coven sanctified
sisters" used .to . drive a big carryall down
to .the railway station throe or four times
a day to meet .trains , 'hut ' she let the regular
transfer company handle the baggage.
The betel prospered from the beginning
and there was no reason why It should not ,
for everything was neat and homelike and
the cooking was tbo best In Texas , which Is
not saying much , perhaps , but is u good
reason why It was appreciated. Every Bun-
day it was crowded. The drummers used
to swarm there from all the northern-central
pant of the state and every passenger on
the Santa Fe trains was an advertising
agent. The "sanctified sisters" made money ,
as they deserved to do ; they enlarged their
establishment and started a big laundry In
connection with it , where the drummers left
their soiled clothes to bo done up while they
were out during the week. Then the "als-

two girls , become sitting room and bed
room , or two sitting rooms , as their
occupants prefer. In many New York apart

dining room , a bedroom off , another small
bedroom for a maid beyond , and a kitchen
at the back of the house. With this arrange
ment ono girl could occupy the bedroom oft
the dining room , another the smaller room
