NEW YORK , May 2C It Is very dlfucult to estimate for how long the revival of fhe earring will last. Some very thorough-going women havcactually had their pretty pink cir lobes pierced or replerccd for the sake of a . mode that seems only to bo a passing fancy , and others have bought llttlo hooks of In visible wire or clasps that pinch the lobe closely and with these for aids have token generously to the earring movement. Of course all such patent fasteners are liable , while a woman dances or even emphatically nods her head , to shako free from their hold and In consequence there are amat- ingly few earrings made up of genuine gems. There li no loss In brilliancy or beauty because the mock pearls , diamonds and rubles arc employed , and , though older women have to an Important extent reassumed - assumed their pearl car studs , the youthful generation has adopted , In all good taste , the conceit of the Neapolitan car hoop. A thicad of gold , strung with flvo small tinted pearls , Is the choice oftencat made and girls who fully and softly pompadour their hair , letting the silken trcrs droop over the car tops , got very Interostlng effects with thcli pearl circlets bobbing over miiHlln-clad shoulders. This whim for earrings has had n decided effect upon the drces-lovliiB sex. Women have suddenly discovered that small and delicately shaped as their cars may be , one tPBcntlnl element of beauty li missing when thcco useful features lack color. A woman with palo cars can be safely set down as ono whoso heart Is hard to reach , while she whoso cars are sweetly pink , arong the curled rims nnd downy lobes , Is a creature of sympathetic and responsive temperament. More Important still , a well colored car Is as becoming as a rosy check , and In con sequence many a scrupulous girl , who would seoi n to even dust her check with powder , thinks It no evil to delicately rouge her cars till they glow with a color as tender as that In quince flowers. Cliln Jewel DropN. Apropos of thcso small varieties of dress , mention Is duo some of the gay novelties In jeweled ornaments Just brought out for service with summer silk , organdies nnd lawns , The woman who a month ago con sidered her hold on public esteem quite lost unless she were a Jet colored glass or coral bead chain Is now confident that a Vallleit IB as essential to her happiness. Even with whlto linen shirt collars the rather quaintly \ ' COAT WITH LINCN REVERS. pretty chin Jon el drops , GO to speak , are used , though every1 woman has her own particular notion of bow a Valllore should be used. used.When When they first came out In Paris last autumn , two diamonds of equal light , but different tints , else two pearls , were fastened at cither end of n bit of hair with a fine gold chain about four Inches long. This chain was tucked and fastened Inside a high lace and silk dress collar and then the Jewel ends wcro drawn out to bang nnd sparkle or glow under the chin. Now we see La Vnlllcro put to newer uses , The gold chain Is finished often as not by cut costal ball's , mock pearls of abnormal elres or a couple of wee Jeweled bees or frogs , The ornament , though employed as In Paris , has more frequently Ita chain slipped noobewlso round the knot of a lace , satin or chiffon Jabot four-in-hand , the ends then allowed to hang free In tbo Jabot's frills. U ) another method La Vnlllere arso serves as a watch fob. A tiny Jeweled watch , hardly larger than a G-cent piece , Is tucked Inside the neck'of a docolloto corsage for > afls and dinners , and the little decorated chain , made fast to the ring over the stem- winder , hangs out and answers a corsage ornament.

A gentle Infatuation haa been convejod from Paris for beautiful Intaglio rings cut In amcthjst , sapphire , moonstone or semi precious stones , or even crjatnl. The Intaglio Is not put In a bond or crown set ting , but , like tlio ordinary scnrabcus ring , Is pivoted on a silver or gold clrcfet. It IN n I.nuo Scnmon. In the evolution of dross wo 1mvo never before had so essentially a season of lace as this. Every goods you buy Is merely a foundation to hang lace on or insert lace In , And no woman will dare hold up her head at any summer resort who has not n complete white lace over frock to wear upon her colored silk foundations. More lacd actually Is sold thlo season by the yard , from fourteen to twenty Inches wide , having a selvage like gingham , than late Pouncing and edging. Yards upon yards of llerro , Imitation point dc venire , DrLsaels , Bruges , Limerick , 'duchoas , etc. , lm\o been cut off for sklrtn , for mnko It how jou will jou simply cannot make nu ugly lace gown , Thuro are laces woven In eklrta of one scam In order to economize loss of material when sloping out , and the lace jackets are always bought ready made. There are also complot6 tea Rowns of lace , with ecrpontlno trains , sleeves , wide collars and jabot fronts woven In detail to drop o\er a creamy muslin or taffeta background , 'but tbo strangest feature Is that black lace Is worn scarcely at all , and to ruffle on lace la regarded as a henloua offense. Lace flounces are for the present purposes woven on what Is called the shaped form , that Is exactly like the now skirt , which , though It has no fullneeo at top , hangs amply full below the knee. This device contributes greatly to the charm of the now gowns , and If you nro Inclined to lay out a little money on a lace overdress you can choose a jupo do la dentollo that Is gorgeous with cobndbby flounced all woven on In th6 proper places , or you can purchase ! ono that Is called tbo vicereno , In honor of Lady Curzon , that has princess panels , or ovcrsklrt shape , outlined lu the pattern described on the net. Every dutiful tailor Impresses on his customers the Importance of the detach able coat facing , no matter of what style the coat may be , and many are the coverts and jaunty blue serge refers made up with as many as three sets of facings. One of pique In pure white , one of dotted or figured pique and one of brown linen Is the rule , the facing In every Instance made to flare over the coats , collar and rovers to within a half- Inch of their edge , and to fasten by Invisible buttons to the coat's lining. To BO Im portant an extent have the facings been adopted that one can now buy them readymade - made In countless varieties In the shops , and , of course , most Inexpensively. nclntlui ? to Frlmtex. Golf capes have suddenly been denuded of their fringed ornamentation , and now the short , full plaid ( all from the shoulders Is trimmed with a stitched colrar and shoulder strapping of the plain , blue , brown or green that the Inside of the capo shows , and absolutely none of the good capes have hoods , nor turn the plain face of the heavy Scotch woolen goods outside. If fringe has been lopped from the golf capo It has redoubled Its luxurlent growth elsewhere , and the newest fruit of any loom Is the skirt woven of silk , In as open mesh as a Shetland shawl and edged and orna mented with rows on rows of silk fringe , either In horizontal or prependlcular parallel lines. Another smart novelty Is appearing on serge and flannel outing dresses and takes the form of a lace , knitted of a wool as rough as the Gcrmantown and the lace Is finished by a full fringe , or sometimes the lace effect Is given by merely knotting the fringe for a depth of two to twenty Inches. MARY DEAN. FASIIIOXADLD DECS. Trained to Produce Spcclnl Drnndn of Honey. Honey , and It must bo of the newest and most delectable flavor , Is claiming just now an unusual amount of attention at the fashionable breakfast table. In fact , Its place there Is becoming quite as undisputed as that of wines at dinner parties. Men of wealth and leisure are assiduously testing and experimenting with the different brands of honey and wrinkling their brows over the problem of producing what seems to them the most desirable flavor during the coming summer. Krr the bee Is no longer allowed to pur sue his own sweet pcrlgrlnatlons and sip of the nector of flowers wherever lie chooses , Honey made In this promiscuous way Is much too ordinary and bohemlan. His actions are restricted and guided by thcso men of cultivation , who quite enjoy thinking out the busy bee's little difficulties for him. As a result , such honey as never was taated before Is tickling the palates of many. If It Is the white sweet clover flavor that has gained favor with the epicure , he goes systematically to work to produce it ; and plants , at his country place , a large plot of ground , perhaps half ah acre , with this particular kind of clover. He has it carefully kept from weeds or any other variety of clover that might endeavor to find a footing there. Tlio whole bed Is endowed dewed and roofed with u fine wire netting end the beehives are then placed within the enclosure. From the beo's life , therefore , the spice of variety Is plucked , and try as he will , poor fellow , he can produce none other than white sweet clover honey. In flavor It Is very delicate and almost white in color. Yellow sweet clover honey Is preferred by others. The flavor is slightly etrongor than that made from the white variety and Its color Is a deep yellow. Then thcio Is the bonoy that is made from such flowers as thistles and milk weeds ; It Is moit amusing to hear pro ducers of luoh flavors toll of their tribu lations In making these wayward plants grow within their restriction. Some of the wild flower honey Is almost black In color and the flavor I * certainly very different from what It was in tlio da > i when honey was honey , and that fact settled the ques tion. it Is almost verging on the Indis creet to mention buckwheat honey nowa days , although It is still acknowledged to have wonderful "staying properties.

There Is , I dare say , more cheating going on through the compact cubic space of u lady's trunk than there U In the holds of all the 'long , low , rakish craft' or the successors of auch craft , at prctsent doing business on our coaets. The total capacity of oil the women's trunk * landed from transatlantic ! steamship * Is very great , much greater than It used to be. "Tho Canadian border offers some ppe- clal advantages for the gentry who match their wits against the collectors of revenue nnd the special agents of the treasury. The character of the goods smuggled across the Canada line la favorable to the smugglers , too. Horses and cattle arc easily trans ported , for they carry themselves , and who Is to notice If they cross the Imaginary line between Uncle Sam's domain and the land of the Canucks while grazing along the border and then fall to return to their former stables ? Or , "vvho " Is to know It If llvo stock In driven along little-frequented roads until the border la crossed nnd the goods are delivered to willing and unscru pulous co-operators on the American side ? "Dut > our real iip-to-dnto smuggler Is , I am sorry to wy , a woman , She would bo grossly offended If she wcro described ns a criminal. In fact , she IB not a , criminal at all except In the opinion of onlceM who have become testy nnd cynical by long observation , Of course I don't mean to say that men do not aluo smuggle goods by mcaug of their personal baggage when re turning from abroad , but really the most cheerful , matter-of-fact , yet Ingenious smuggler Is a woman , and the medium of ( aught to keep all his little belongings In order.

The owner or the trunk or trunks may bo the meet con scientious person In the United States , and she may be punctilious In all the matters of ethical observance which go to make up everyday living In the city of New York and other respectable communities , but she doesn't mind bribing a customs Inspector with $5 for the purpose of having ! her new- Paris gowns passed duty free. Respectable women have been arrested for that sort of thing before now , although that Is not a common occurrence , and they have Invaria bly toeon shocked and oven Indignant that the law should call such things by offensive names. "I have no doubt that the government still loses many thousands of dollars a year on account of dishonest entries of goods in passengers' baggage. The matter has re cently been revived by the preferring of charges against a number of Inspectors at the port of New York by Collector Bldwcll. A man who was collector at the port of Now York not "many administrations ago told me that the public , even the Treasury depart ment , does not realize the difficulties to bo contended with In regard to passengers' bag gage at that port. He said to me : " 'Not long ago n most respectable and well-to-do woman of my acquaintance In Now York came to my ofllco nnd said that she had just returned from abroad. Then oho stated the business that called her to my office. She had purchased while in Europe a number of expensive gowns and some gloves and lace. The total value of the goods was perhaps $1GOO. Then she remarked In the most matter-of-fact way that she "supposed the dresses and things could bo brought In without any charges , " and asked me If I would not do her the favor of looking per sonally after her baggage ? I had had less experience than I have had since , and I was thunderstruck. As soon as I got over the state of rattles Into which she had thrown me I managed to say that I was bound very strictly by the law and that I could not oblige her. Well , she was In a huff , though her good breeding caused her to show It elmply by a rather cool good morning nnd an air of having boon disobliged by someone who ought to oblige her. She has never re covered from that Interview , as I Judge by her manner when 1 occasionally meet her nov , and neither have I , but our points of view In the matter ore apparently as far apart as over. " "Now , this woman would have offered a customs Inspector $5 or $10 If she hadn't happened to know the collector as a personal acquaintance , and the act wouldn't bavo troubled her conscience n bit more. The crueado against the dishonest customs Inspectors specters Is now on in earnest , but tbo abuses are a hard matter to deal with. The inspectors specters get onry $4 a day , and there Is a lot of temptation for them , nnd besides some of these Inspectors , together with many other citizens , believe It Is all right to cheat the government.

Vandorbllt , Jr. , wore going to become as famous a housekeeper as her sister , Mrs , Herman Oelrlchs , who Is considered the most model In all Now York society. Mrs. Willie K. , jr. , has exhibited her housewifely talents during the honejmoon at Newport , for she has done all her own marketing Instead of Intrusting It to servants. She drives In her carriage each morning and selects carefully all her green gro ceries and meats. She asks the price of all things before purchasing them and px- amlncs things carefully , If any mistakes are made tlie reminds the tradesmen of it at her next visit , and they have learned that they cannot "bleed" thU society housekeeper , The tradespeople do not like to have the women come to do the market- Ins , for the reason that they make far more money out of the servants' ciders , overcharging and by many ways. Mrs. Vanderbllt has icttlcd into a staid married dame ; eho has postponed her contemplated visit to Europe till later , and Is now en joying the pleasures of housekeeping on her own hook , She owrs her knowledge of housekeeping to her sister , for she was not trained by her mother , as Mm , Oclrlchs was , as she was In school almost up to the time of her mother's death , Mrs , Oclrlchs Is ttia most generous woman In her household , yet she exacts tbo most skilled labor. Every one about her Is taught the value of perfect order , and her children are models In this reaped. Her youngest boy , when going through his kindergarten studies with hli teacher , was , torla.

Princess NazH Hanum , sa > s the Woman's Journal , paralyzed Cairo society by giving a reception to which both men and women were invited. She Is the nlcco of Ismail Pasha and wife of the ex-minister of foreign affairs at Constantinople. The leccptlon was magnlflcent and most of the distin guished people of all nations In Cairo were present. The princess is said to bo deeply versed In eastern and European politics , literature nnd art , besides possessing much charm of conversation and manner. No Moslem princess has ever before ventured to hold a mixed reception. The ex-queen of Naples was much dis turbed by the cats of Cardinal Antonelll's mother and in her desperation purchased severer saloon rifles and air guns nnd pro ceeded to shoot the disturbers of her rest.
