Astrakhan is beyond doubt the fash

woolly-woven imitations of two seasons
ago , but the genuine article , or some
thing so near it that it is difficult to
distinguish
from real.

garment of the season. Muffs are of a
medium size and are made of two kinds
of fur , or astrakhan , with heavy ribbon
bows , and a "black , long-tailed bird
perched coquettishly among the loops.
Carriage wraps and evening cloaks
are the only fur-lined garments now
shown. Carriage wraps are made of
camel's hair , brocade or cloth , and lined
with dark fur while evening cloaks are
in the form of Russian circulars , with
lining and great collar of white Manda
rin lamb-skin.
Faced cloth and fine soft diagonals are
still the favorite materials for street
wear , and in many instances they have
been worn for afternoon receptions , and
considered much more distingue than a
pretentious silk costume.
A long Princesse polonaise is trimmed
with fur and a little heavy , rich , dull-
shaded applique hand embroidery , the
skirt lifted at the extreme side to show
an underskirt of cloth or velvet to
match or harmonize with the embroid
ery. A short , high-collared cape is
added for the street. See fur collarotto
illustration.
Among the many dressy mantles to
be seen. I will describe one made to
match tie costume. A new shade of
dahlia velvet is the material. The
fronts are close to the figure and
trimmed with silver and dahlia passe
menterie and narrow sable edging.
Square Hungarian sleeves hang to the
hem of the gown , with tight coat-sleeves
under. The back forms fit closely at
the waist , then widen out into flat Di-
rectoire panels opening up the middle.
Large plaids are still in style , not the
fancy plaids of past seasons , but the
genuine Scotch clan plaids , both in silk
and heavy woolens. The large patterns
are easily managed for the waist by
using a little taste and ingenuity in ar
ranging the principal lines to draw
them in at the waist. The new galleons
are too complicated and elaborate to de
scribe. It suffices to say that any well-
stocked passementerie department of
our shops can furnish you with every
FTJB COIiABETTE.
conceivable variety , from a cotton band
with a few threads of silk and tinsel ,
to hand-work of exquisite texture , color
and variety as high as twenty-five dollars
lars and fifty dollars a yard. What
more can we want ? But before the sea
son is over I do not doubt we shall have
a still newer and more complete embar
rassment of riches.
Long-shaped toques and turbans are
the prevailing shapes for young people ,
unless I except the broad-brimmed
hats of great beauty , but , alas ! trying
to many of us. The long , low hats
with narrow velvet strings coming
from the extreme back is universally
becoming and is adaptable for all occa
sions. Black , with a touch of old pink ,
or the new French lilac are wcrn with
street gowns , and delicate feather
bands , embroidery and velvet flowers
are wrought together into an irresisti
ble love of a theater or reception bon
net. Long , narrow , flower wreaths ,
with an aigrette and a few velvet
( preferably black ) loops and strings is
the most elegant thing for dressy occa
sions.
Kid is the foundation for many new
garnitures , both for dillinery and dress
trimmings. Some of the imported pat
terns show old Spanish and Venetian
designs reproduced with wonderful skill.
Vandyke patterns and arabesques ar
wrought in cream , tan and brown kid ,
with gold threads and fine bead-work
lightening up the design.
Thin , gauzy materials are still the
most popular fabrics for dancing and
reception gowns for young ladies. Mou
seline do soie , pineapple and crepe llsso
have deep bordorings of exquisite em
broideries , beading and spangling of fab
ulous value , and there are also beautiful
simple designs thatcan be bought for one
dollar and a half a yard. At this price what
could bo prettier for a young girl than a
cream mousolino do soio , wide enough
to make the entire skirt-length , with
graduated satino bands , beginning about
two inches wide and narrowing up to
about an eighth of an inch , the remain
der of the skirt dotted with small
squares ? This over a silk slip and a
fichu waist is simple but very elegant.
[ The tailor-made costume illustrated
' hero is of nut-brown Vienna with vel
vet and military braid trimmings.
I Gold buttons are again in vogue for cloth
gowns braided or embroidered with gold ;
but buttons have not yet returned to
prominence except on Directoiro cos
tumes , and oven they are rather passe.
WAUONG HAT.
The change is bound to come very soon
and we shall have our gowns "all but
toned down before. "
Some distinct nationality is adopted
in our fashion each year , Greek last
year , Russian the year before and this
season Spanish seems to be the fashion
able favorite. Figaro jackets are the
newest thing for house dresses.
Bolero or Toreador hat shapes are
worn with street costumes and
The Spanish pompons of feathers are
a characteristic feature of the season's
millinery. To wear with plaid gowns
are black Spanish turbans of velvet and
felt trimmed with three ribbon rosettes ,
each of a shade in the plaid. We come
as near as possible to the Spanish man
tilla in the new flat black lace bonnets
with no crown , but a comb or coronet of
jet showing the hair. Lace strings and
one red or pink rose over the left ear
gives a very Spanish effect.

LOYALTY.
How the Armies of the Nation Were
Filled Colonel Mussey's Views.
"Whoever says that there was nothing
but sentiment back of the impulse which
filled our armies with brave soldiers
knows but little of human nature , " said
Colonel Fred Mussey , in reply to an as
sertion that sentiment , not patriotism ,
filled our armies.
"I was only sixteen years old , " he con
tinued , "and was anxious to go with the
soldiers. That was not patriotism , of
course ; but there was love of country
beneath the love of adventure. My
parents would not consent to my enlist
ment , for I was the only healthy and
helpful boy in the family. But one
morning about two o'clock I was aroused
from a deep slumber to find my aged
father and mother standing by the side
of my bed. My father said :
" 'Freddie , my son , we have concluded
to give you up to your country. "Sour
mother and I have been talking and
praying all night and we feel that it is
our duty to our country and therefore
our duty to our God to give you up. You
may enlist to-morrow morning. '
"Then they kissed me and went weep
ing away. The next morning my father
accompanied me to the recruiting station
and gave his consent to my enlistment.
There was an example of the deepest
and most sincere patriotism. Itwas the
combination of Now England religious
devotion and love of country. There
were tens of thousands of fathers and
mothers all over the land talking and
praying night and day in just the same
manner. The armies were filled by the
patriotic sense of loyalty , and those
fathers and mothers as well as those
boys of ' 01 must not bo called senti
mental in my presence without calling
forth a strong and stern denial. "
