Tho hostess at a luncheon, at nn afternoon at homo, at a musical morning or an after noon committee meeting shines In snowy and oflectlvo contract among her gaily and variously costumed guests. "Wo can hardly keep our counters supplied with whlto ma tcrlala," was tho pleased confession of ono of tho leading dry goods merchants, "and whllo tho richest white moire silk is first on tho list of effcctlvo fabrics for houso dresses, there la not any greater domand for It than for soft and Inexpensive whlto wools, such as albatross cloth, nun's veil ing, looso woven homespun and all the qualities of cashmere."

Tho color is touched In by means of a bow, a belt, a rover or a collar, but often enough oven tho slnglo point of contrast Is missing. Tho advantages of tho black and whlto re ception dress are shown In tho Illustration of a whlto nun's veiling printed In a black Tormlccld pattern. Doth skirt and waist are variegated with treatments of whlto peau do solo and lacings of black bobo velvet ribbon. Two largo, brilliant buttons orna ment tho silk bolt and tho points of tho Jacket.

It la not considered In tho bost toato to uso this means of decoration, savo on gowns meant tor somewhat ceremonious occasions. Thcro la portrayed, tor example, a black cloth calling drees that has boon Idealized and reincarnated from a wardrobo of last year by tho discreet and Inex pensive introduction of slashings and lac ings that reveal plcatlngs of clear Canton bluo crepe.

There Is a sketch of such a coat given tor tho encouragement of any woman to ward the new material and the new de sign. It la not by any means a radical garment In shape, and It Is wrought of bronze green taffeta, dotted In metallic coppery spots, garnished with motifs of ecru Ilusslan laco, and Btlll further brightened with a full front and high drawn collar of geranium red Japaneso crepe.

On soma of tho prettiest vcl votccn and corduroy suits largo wood but ton molds covered with Intensely gay brocade havo advantageously appeared. Thcso buttons are as big as' a half dollar, aro slightly convex In form and tho bit of brocade that covers each mold shows a very Frenchy baskot of flowers, a blossom wreathed shepherd's crook, a (lute, pipe and tambourine bound with ribbons. Thoro Is no gainsaying tho charm of thcso or tho brilliancy of those that havo velvet rims and cut Bteol or Straus centers. Again wo hear tho title Valols applied to these, i and If a gay bit of brocade Is used in tho decoration of a dark gown a set of brocade buttons completes tho color study, without adding greatly to the expense. Tho tailors show a marked preference for pierced silver buttons that are frank and not costly copies of thoso worn a cen tury and a holt ago. When it is the case of a smart morning walking or traveling dress tho man of stitches unhesitatingly suggests a double row of silver buttons down tho front of tho high buttoned waist coat. It tho Bult under consideration Is bolng built for a young and slender woman tho tailor's argument Is all In favor of a skirt clearing tho ground and cloth of any choorful color.

Tho very best of these dresses, however, follow with almost unvarying fidelity the lines laid down by tho sketch of a traveler. This Is a gray and green Scotch mixture, rough of surface and treated with black stitched bands of itself both at the foot and where the pockets are Introduced. Black ladles' cloth Is used on tho cuffs and rovers, of the coat, but the waistcoat Is smooth gray cloth, dotted in green and fastened with twelve pretty sliver buttons. At the top of tho waistcoat a green Bilk tie, folded In the regent knot, appears, and tho rolled colonial toque of stitched gray felt and green satin bands Is decorated with a big rear bow of green ribbon fastened with a stoel buckle. Among tho toilet details that eeera to ro talu their hold on feminine fancy aro the back hair combs Btudded with turquoise or solidly topped with a broad band of clear turquoise bluo enamel.

Ileimlr Shop for Irrltnlile Nerves of Society 'Women. Tho one-day rest euro was first recom mended and experimented with In New York City last winter. Such n boon and salvo to ovcr-excltcd feminine nerves did this method of short and frequent relax ations provo that tho proprietress of Host House, as it Is called, has been obliged to Increase her accommodations. The pro prietress, who also regards herself as tho originator of an entirely now system for conserving ncrvo force, began professional life as a trained nurse, whoso specialty was tho caro of patients suffering from nervous prostration. Trained nursing, In her ex perience, wns an Interesting and success ful calling, but tor an ambitious woman It had Its limitations and when she- had reached tho top notch as a high-priced and expert professional she decided to go into GOWN OP SCOTCH MIXTURE. a bigger business. Sho advocates tho establishment of In stitutions, modeled on her own, In every big city In tho country, not only as success ful business ventures for enterprising mem bers of her own sex, but also as eoroly needed repair shops for women who aro overtaxed by tho demands of tho hyper exhllaratlng and strenuous modern city lite. Tho beginnings of Rest Houso wcro made by the cholco of a plain but amplo old man sion, selected In that portion of Now York City where the roar of traffic Is almost uu ticard. Bcforo the proprietress signed her lcoso Bhe mado careful Investigations as ta tho surroundings. On one sldo of tho prop erty she wished to rent stood a Quaker meeting house, a library building occu pied tho rear and an Institution for tho Bholter of aged women, was hor left-hand neighbor. When tho lease was signed tho house was uniquely and beautifully decorated under tho lessee's personal supervision. Upstairs and down tho spaco was divided Into suits of bedroom, sitting room and bath, and tho walls wero washed with tho softest and most restful tints, or bung with pleasing green, dull red or quiet blue cartrldgo papers. In her expcrlenco with nervous folk the bead of the establishment had learned tho valuo of surroundings that do not cxclto tho imagination. A figured wall paper is ono of tho trifles sho had found that can often drlvo a tired mind Into a shockingly irritable stato. Flowora or geometric patterns can bo como distorted under an excited gazo Into teasing likenesses of peoplo and things and sharp contrasts of color are almost as trying. Dark walls or those colored a cloudy gray bluo aro not finished with light woodwork in that houso. Door and window facings, mop boards and picture moldings are all painted tho exact color of the walls. Curtains and carpets, shades and furniture are also equally plain, and whore pictures bang In a room they are carefully selected photographs or engrav ings of land or seascapes. Tho majority of tho patrons of Rest Houso aro rich, busy society hostesses, gay belles and debutantes, with a sprinkling of popular authoresses, musical stars and leading actresses. Of course, It Is a sad commentary on the luxury of modern liv ing that these women are obliged to go out of tholr homes to find rest. In spite of its being a pity, it Is truo that tho larger and mora splendid tho city houso becomes and tho more completo Its sclentiflo conveniences, tho more is it a scene of bustlo and excitement. It la well enough for a doctor to advise tho half-hour afternoon nap or nn occa sional holiday in bed as a preventlvo of nervous depletion, but this otherwise valu able repose Is robbed of nearly all Its, effi cacy In the uverago private house when the maid tups at tho door with Important telegrams, notes or messages and the roar of street traffic and tho Indoor movement Is woven distressingly Into every dream. To the women who live the nerve-racking exlxtence of tho popular apartment hotel repose Is even moro emphatically denied, nnd it is to these victims of ovor-clvtllzed living that tho Idea of a retreat has espe cially appealed. When n fashionable leader In New York society has had a peculiarly trying week of work or play and sho can't spare, tho time or energy for a few daya in tho country nnd hor mirror warns her that the late hours and combats with domestlo problems are beginning to tell on hor damask cheek sho telephones for accommo dations in Rest House. In twenty minutes she and her dreBBlng bng aro passing up tho broad easy stairs of the retreat to her rooms, where a skillful, quiet maid puts her into a lounging robo and slippers, lets down her hair, wheels her In a deep wadded napping chair before the cheerful hearth and rubs her down from top to toe with aromatlcs. The massaging process takes ta her whole scalp and then her face Is gently kneaded with fragrant, fresh cocoanut ointment. A state of exqulslto relaxed, semi-conscious-ness follows this manipulation of her weary limbs and rolled in a down coverlid sho Is left to dote and wake and doze again until 4 o'clock. At this hour tho maid brings her a sup of hot, clear broth, for tea and coffee aro not used In Rest House, and after supping thla and munching a dry biscuit she Is advised to llo back In her chair until dinner and Invite her soul. Every hour spent in a relaxed position with closed eyes Is Just so much added re lease of tho nervo strain. If sho can't keep her eyes closed and succeed in divest ing hor mind of troublcsomo thoughts sho is advised to look around the sott-hued walls until some picture or plant or vase of flowers suggests a pleasant fahcy or rec ollection. At 6:30 tho shaded lamp Is lighted and a veritable dinner of herbs la served. It Is a short, light, but exquisitely cooked meal, nnd then until 0 tho visitor can read, crochet or play solitaire. Nino o'clock Is bedtime and after an other light treatment of maasago tho pa tient la tucked Into a sweet, warm bed. At 7 tho next morning breakfast Is served In bed nnd by 10 tho guest Is ready to lcavo Rest House, calling down blessings on this homo of peace, refreshed and ready for tho tasks bcforo her AMERICAN GIIU.9. futilities Superior to Those of For. rlKn Sisters., "My expcrlenco In this country haB not yet been sufficiently cxtcnslvo to warrant my basing any Judgment upon Americans at homo," writes Mine. Sarah Grand In Success, "but In England nnd on tho con tinent I havo seen much of Americans and havo been specially drawn to a closo ob servation of American girls your typos of young womanhood. They havo been an over-fasclnatlng study to mo nnd I must say frankly that, In comparison with Eng lish and French girls, they must be given tho palm for superiority. "This is not tho mcro Idle compliment of a stranger In your land; It Is tho truth, as I havo observed It. Tho American girl bns, as a rule, n tnoro marked and Inter esting Individuality, moro forco-of char acter, moro mental independence and alert ness, moro vivacity and conversational abil ity than has her English cousin. "The chief reason for tho superiority of American girls lies, I think, In the Amer ican system of education. Thoy havo spneo, freedom and 'liberty for intellectual ox panslon and tho development of character, whllo our English girls, from the tlmo thoy ceaso to bo Infants until they aro married, arn subjected to a system of sup pression. It Is not Surprising that tho average English girl is a nonentity, who, when sho marries, is treated by her hus band as an Inferior. "Some American mothers, I am told, are educating their daughters on tho English plan. They nro making a grave mistake. A woman has her own Individual Ufa to lead, Not on the character of her hus band, if sho has one, but on her own, will sho stand or fall, and bo equal or unequal to her many opportunities to wield an In-' fluence tor good nnd to tho gravo respon sibilities of womanhood. Therefore, her de velopment must not bo cramped and hin dered by tho foolish conventions of a loss enlightened age, as In England, but must bo given plenty of room' and encourngo-' ment, as In tho United States. A woman Is moro womanly and charming for being broadly educated and led out of the mists of Ignorance, which are never a protec tion, but always a menace. "I am happy to say that, while tho old fashioned, conventional Ideas in regard to young women and their education are dying hard In England, newor and more pro gressive Ideas arc gaining wider consid eration. Whllo wo aro far behind the United States in women's colleges, wo haVo two Institutions which aro dovotcd to the highest education of women, and our High schools, tho plan of which wo borrowed from you, I think, are Imparting tho funda mental principles of good educatloa to thousands of young women."
