Flora Pnyno Whitney , the daughter of ono Htiitudinan ntul tlio wlfo of another , will ho smlly missed In miiny tlllTor- cnt circles. As the wlfo of William C. "vVhltnoy , secretary of the navy , HIO was a BOc-lnl loader In Washington in Presi dent Cleveland's administration and in lier own right as a brilliant and oven scholarly woman who was u loader among the leaders. She was an author ity on nrduuology , a linguist and a writer of no mean talent. She had been u private pupil of Louis Agasslz , a thorough student of music and an un usually Intelligent observer of affairs of Btato under the guidance of her father , Senator Payne of Ohio. Mrs. Whitney , who died at 3 o'clock on Sunday , February 5 , was 41 years old and had been married twenty-one years. She was born in Cleveland and had lived In Now York most of the time since her marriage. For the past seven years Mrs. Whitney and Mrs. Grover Cleveland - land have been very close friends. She mot William C. Whitney about twenty-five years ago. Ho was at that time a lawyer of llttlo reputation , and co nparatlvoly no means. Ho was con scientious In his devotions to duty , and soqn made for himself a place at the bar of Now York state. Their acquaintance soon ripened into love , and their mar riage followed not long after. Soon after the marriage Colonel Payne gave his flistor the magnificent house at Fifty-seventh street and Fifth avenue , which hud previously been occupied by the Slovens family. In thiri house Mrs. Whitney made a charming hostess. Having wealth at her command and the natural abilities Of a loader of society , she delighted all . whom slio came in contact with. At Newport , whore the Whitnoys had a beautiful summer homo , Mrs. Whitney was as popular as she was in the metropolis. In her home Mrs. Whitney was a kind and alTcctionato mother and wife , never forgetting the duties she owed to her iarnlly. To friends and acquaintances she was equally kind and generous and she did much toward the advancement of practical charities. Four children were oorn to the Whlt- noys. The only son , Henry Payne Whit ney , is an undergraduate in Yale col lege. The surviving daughters , Pauline and Dorothea , are aged respectively 18 and 8 years. Ono of the prettiest debutantes of this season in New York was Mrs. Whit ney's eldest daughter , Miss Paulino. Her mother's death will nip her first ex perience of the pleasures of society in the bud , and practically has closed the Whitney maiibion , which is itself an ir reparable loss to the society which has no often been entertained thoro. Mrs. Whitney was of medium height , with a slender and graceful figure. She possessed a happy temperament , which her friends seldom saw clouded , although of late years the trouble with her heart gave her cause for serious anxiety. Her hair was prematurely white , but her goutlo face retained the glow of frcsh- , ness of youth up to the period of her last sickness. * * * Kate Field pyrites in her Washington : The 5,000 or more ladles who have joined the No Crinoline league should remem ber the homely injunction not to got scared until they are hurt. Rumors of the return of the hoopskirt arc like 'threats of war In Europe very exciting while they last , but most unlikely to bo founded on fact. The simple truth of the matter Is that for several years the dressmakers of London and Paris have boon making the skirt lighter and lighter in weight , thus taking a great load oft the feminine mind as well as the feminine body. They first banished heavy draperies ; then the foundation skirt had to go ; then an attack was made on every inch of ma terial that could possibly bo spared and leave the semblance of a skirt. The re sult was neat and comfortable , but it IK had ono great fault the wearer's boots wore as much in evidence as her gloves. The natural result of this state of things Is the revival of the gored skirt. It is light in weight , graceful In outline and gives the necessary fullness at the foot. To predict that it will bo spoiled with wire stllToning Is a libel on modern woman , who has been steadily improving her dress for the last twenty years. Wo hate the rumor of a now fashion because "wo have not yet scon a pretty woman adorning it , but all experience has shown that whatever the gentler sox elects to wear It always appears at the time beau tiful and suitable in her own eyes and in those of contemporary mankind. * It is a kindly as well as a convenient fashion , says the Now York Tribune , which has been inaugurated of late by certain of our grandos dames that ol giving the commission for the cotillon favors for their dances to some loss for- "tunato friend , to whoso modest resources the liberal recompense is a welcome ad dition , and whoso good taste and judg ment prove a veritable blessing to the harassed giver of the feast , who has necessarily so much detail to attend teat at such a timo. Only n refined and tasteful woman can give the dainty touches to the prepara tion and arrangement of the pretty gow- guws which fashion has decreed shall be lavished at u big ball. Happily It is no longer the thing foi wealthy hosts and hostesses to give costly and ostentatious presents on those occasions , and the beauty of the prottj trifles consists almost entirely In thoh selection. Long ribbons are always prime favor ites for favors , and are greatly covotet by the fair dancers , who , while enjoying the distinction of bollcdom , have uls ( frugal minds and consider the question of next bummer's hats while they couni up their trophies. The beauty of those effective , long , lloating ribbons is groatlj enhanced if they are caught up with i bunch of artificial French ( lowers , whicl also Is prized as part of the becoming hate to bo. Sachets make a charming favor , bu must bo made by some ono who know the difference between vulgar scent am the faint violet perfume which is so Bug gcstlvo and attractive. Fans are always acceptable , and grab- bags were introduced at a recent cotllloi with great success. Those may bo made of four different colors , or oven of six and passed about by each succcedlnj group of couples. At a private dunce there are usually a least four sots of favors , and as those must bo distributed to both men am women , and as there are usually from grouty-art * to forty couples at a lar o cotillon , It will readily bn scon that n woman of resource and tnsto would prove n perfect godsend to her employer. The monotony of the dully "homo piny" In the North Dakota deadlocked legisla ture was broken recently when thirty democrats and populists voted for Mrs. Doll A. MeOormnck. wlfo of Senator Mo- Cormack , for United States senator , making her , for that ono day , second In the rnio ( for senatorial honors. Two other ladles received ono vote each. The deadlock was not broken nnd they are still balloting for senator In North Da kota , but Mrs. McCormnek retains the honor of having been nearer to election to the United States senate than any other woman ever wns , not excepting Mrs. Lease of Kansas. Mrs. McCormack was born In St.Paul , Minn. , her father being Morris Lyons , n substantial and enterprising business man of that city. She Is 'tl years old nnd has been married eleven years. She Is of a semi-brunette typo nnd weighs about 150 pounds. She has pleasant fea tures , with brown hair and dark gray eyes. She was educated In West Vir ginia and graduated from a college in Wheeling at the ago of 18. Since her marriage she has lived In Grand Forks , N. D. Her husband was secretary of the territory of Dakota under Cleveland for three years and a half , and was actIng - Ing governor for some timo. Ho Is one of the wealthiest and oldest citizens In the state. During all sessions of the legislature since statehood , and two ses sions prior to statehood , Mrs. McCor mack bus boon with her husband at the capital , living there most of the time while her husband was In olllco. She is ns bright as she is handsome and very popular with all classes. * Mrs. Burton Harrison seems to bo a woman favored by the gods , rejoicing In that trinity of richness , brains , beauty nnd social place. She is a plump , sweet- faced woman , with fair hair , looking much younger than ono expects , and showing no trace of burden or anxiety of literary work In her serene , unlined face. Scon recently ut a woman's club , bays tbo Now York Sun , she was self- possessed but unassuming , the faultless simplicity of her gown in marked con trast with the gorgeous bodl/.cnmont of the women about her. For the women of note , particularly those still only in the borderland of the charmed country where laurel crowns grow on hedges and gold guineas pave the highways , are as prone to overdress us wore their proto types too much Inclined to severity of uttlra in the days when the title of blue stocking was originated. One can forgive a woimih of ability for wen-ring her own hair nnd parting it , her own waist where the Lord made it and for clinging to simple gowns and bonnets. But it is hard to reconcile trains with too many diamonds , too many furbelows , too extreme - tromo modes and too much of every thing nt the wrong time and place. "It is not fair , " some one said as the women with anxious faces , crazy-looking bon nets and perfectly demoralized veils crowded aoout the serene , smiling woman who had done what they wore trying so laboriously to do. "Mrs. Harrison has It all homo , husband , talent , beauty , friends everything that is dear to women. At least her trick of tolling graceful tales might have been given to the woman who has missed the rest. " Among the tributes to her. talent which Mrs. Harrison values most highly for its sincerity Is the praise of a western rancher who named his dog Pink , after the girl In her story , "Crow's Nest , " and told a friend of hers , travel ing through the region , that the maga zine containing thu story hod "been all around the range. " "But it always comes back , " ho added , "for I've threat ened to shoot the boy that keeps it. " * * The "Howor baths" rendered fushion- nblo by Lonthorio , the great Parisian [ jorfumer , are at the same time so dainty ind so healthful , that they deserve a special mention. They uro prepared in the following way : Three handfuls of dried violet flowers are put at the bottom tom of the tub and soaked in boiling water for half an hour , when cold or tepid water is added , and the bath is ready. The water has thus become dnll- clously perfumed and extremely calming to the nerves by virtue of the llttlo fra grant blossoms. A bath of limo llowors is also particuhtrly soothing to the over excited nerves. It is worthy of note that liorb baths nro a very Old World remedy for disordered nerves nnd spirits. In years gene by melancholia was regarded as a disorder amen able to treatment , and a favorite remedy was a bath of mal lows , pollitory-of-tho-wall , camomile llowors , hollyhocks , hyssop and now milk , taken at blood heat. Spinach , glycerine uiuT rosewater , oatmeal and orange flower water are variously 7e"c- ommondod as excellent skin baths. The most luxurious on record seems to have been Mine. Talllon's ( avorito bath , which was prepared , bo the gossips of her time report , of twenty pounds of strawberries and two of raspberries , crushed and thrown into the bath , from which the bather emerged with skin freshly perfumed , soft us velvet , and tinged with a delicate pink. This , of course , is far too expensive a proceed ing to suit ladies of moderate means , and 0.111 bo ranged with the bath prepared of freshly gathered violets , rose petals and orange blossoms , to which the still so beautiful Countess do Pourtalos ascribes the wonderful fashion in which she has for the last thirty years preserved her marvelous bloom. A very cheap and excellent bath , however , is easily pro cured by filling a muslin bag with two quarts of ordinary bran , ono pound of powdered starch and a quarter-pound orris-root powder. This bag is soaked thoroughly In hot water and loft In the tub during the process of bathing. It renders the water smooth , milky nnd fragrant , and is excellent for the blcin When n maiden is betrothed in Ger many she Is called "bride" by her sweet heart , who addresses her thus until It becomes time to call her "wlfo. " Immediately upon betrothal the lovers exchange rings , which , If the course of true love runs smooth , are to bo worn over uftorwnrds until death parts them. The woman wears her betrothal ring on the third flngor of her loft hand. The husband continues to wear the ring just us the wlfo wore hers when she was a "bride , " bo that ono can toll easily at a glance If a man bo or bo not engaged as to his affections. A young Gorman matron , on being told of the careless American custom of leaving the man go unfettered , ex claimed : "Oht how dreadful 1 How un just to the young wives ! How could I expose my Wllholmi-so young only 25 to the temptations of , the world if ho were not to wear a marriage ring ? The girls would make love to him. I would not live in America for the world. " * > In London Truth Henry Labouchoro says : "What surprises mo , considering the vast number of Indies who preach the equality of the sox in uvorything , is that an olTort is not mudoto sccurooqual rights in proposing. To marry is moro important to n woman than to have a voto. Why , then , should propos ing bo limited to ono eoxV Men nro naturally moro bashful than women , nnd the result of the present one-sided rule la that many a man remains single bo- cnuso ho cannot bring his courage up to the proposing point , and. ns a necessary consequence , many n girl rornntns hus- VuudleSiS. An association of girls , ouch \ pledged toproposa to any man whom she might doom n desirable husband , would IMS far more practical than an antl-urlno- llne society. " * The late John O.WhUUor oiico wrote to a newly married friend : "Bachelor as I am , I congratulate theo on thy escape from single ( misery ) blessedness. It Is the very wisest thing thee over did. Wore I autocrat I would see to it that every young man over Ii3 and every young woman over 20 wore married with out delay. Perhaps , on second thought , it might bo well to keep ono old mala and ono old bachelor In each town , by way of warning , just as the Spartans did their drunken Ilolots. " Murmurs of the Mode * . The now French vrlllo or gimlet bengalines are culled outline silk in 'the shops. Bands of narrow velvet , with rosette bows , trim the skirts of semi-dross and- evening costumes. Dressy bonnets are made of jot and beads of all colors , and trimmed with rolls of velvet and aigrettes. There is a furore for yellow , not only In dress , but In household decorations and especially Horn ! additions. A pretty and becoming hat is of very fine not shirred over thick silk. The trimming is of pull's of lace , birds' wings and aigrettes. Corded silk Is replacing satin for bri dal gowns , and colfeo tinted lace Is pre ferred to others. At weddings brides maids appeal * oftener In brljjht colors than in white or cream. Finely watered moire Fruncais and black mntelasso fabrics are favorite trimmings on the now Lenten toilets of black nrinuro , faille and Victoria silk that have just arrived. The China silk parasol ) with huge floral designs In the silk , a frill about the edge , and a stick of ivory of Dres den China , will appear with summer gowns of organdie and challis. Rufiles and big sleeves seem to bo the distinctive features of this season's cos tume. A velvet capolet finished with a deep rue , willlth sleeves to match , is a fashionable and becoming stylo. Women have not only appropriated masculine fashions , but have discovered the worth and durability of masculine materials as well , and are using them for useful street and traveling gowns. Small girls wear party dresses , with slips of silk covered with crepe do chine or chllTon. Plaltlngs of lace around the skirt , over the shoulder and as a finish for the sleeves , are a favorite trimming. A perfectly plain skirt of heavy silk , bongulino or velvet may bo made up with a front of some contrasting mater ial , or with the front of the same eov- ored with embroidery or passementerie. Now waists show the fronts cut away in the shape of the fashionable dress vest. Inside of this is a front of shirred material , embroidery , passementerie , or the same goods finished with edging of needlework. A rustling silk petticoat is no longer the luxury it was. The newest skirts are soft white wash goods with numer ous ruffles around the bottom , each ono daintily embroidered ; such work as you will find done in the convents. Those who do not find the hair rolled off the face becoming are having their bangs cut in a short Huffy fringe that , while It softens the face , does not give the vulgar look of the deep , full bang , which completely hides the forehead. House slippers of scarlet have upon them high , full rosettes of either white or black satin ribbon. Occasionally a flat , fanlike bow of black lace , with a tiny hteel clasp In the center , is- seen , but the high , full rosette . .of ribbon seems to bo the favo'rlte.v Pearls and emeralds are. profusely used In lace pins , rings , hat pins or hair ornaments. Pearls are especially popu lar. Opals and turquoises arc shown in many fashionable rings. Necklaces of pearls and rubles are much desired. Bracelets are narrow , with precious stones sot at intervals around the band. The fondness for Persian coloring finds expression In the useful and effective silk and satin ribbons , as well as in hand-wrought and woven balids , These ribbons are oriental In design , as well as in coloring , and on drossy toilets are disposed on skirt and bodice In spreading bows and ends instead of loops. A dainty dress for afternoon tea is made of white cashmere in princosso fashion. The front Is filled it with white cropon , with embroidery at the lower edge ; the skirt has a plaited , embroid ered rulllo ; the sleeves are very full and finished with embroidery ; the high collar Is of velvet and turns back from a full niching of chllTon. Ono of the now ways of trimming a corsage is to lay folds of velvet or bands of fur directly against the nock without the softonlng folds of chllTon or lace be tween. The dark velvet or fur enhances the value of a white skin very materially , but after all there is nothing so becom ing us the yollow-whito of old laco. Klegantly plain cloth of camel's hair dresses have in many instances the seams lapped on the skirt over a silk lining and stitched twice as on a wide hem. Buttons and simulated button- noles are sot on each side of the fronts from the waist down a portion or often the entire length of the skirt. The coming parasol is a very elaborate affair Indeed , with its ruchings and its llouneings and Its ribbons. The more gauzy and "lloating" it is the bettor , and bomo of the now designs look not unlike an elaborate lamp shade. Hand-painted parasols are much liked , whether In silk or muslin ; and artificial llowors to match the design are bunched on top with rib bon of the same shade. Jewels galore are the order of the day this season , and every woman who pos sesses them wear them with the lavishness - ness of the queen of Shoba. The present style of dross well suits a brilliant dis play of sparkling goms. Satin is the chosen fabric , especially In exquisite light shades , and velvet also Is In high favor. White or cream satin spangled with gold and silver and embroidered with pearls and crystal is the foundation of many rich drosses. The petticoat fronts for young ladies are usually draped with lace or ehltTon with garlands of flowers holding the llounces or festoons across the front. A pretty costume of light green crepe is made with a round , gathered waist of crepe , bound around with two green ribbons at the bolt to confine the full ness. Cull sleeves of crepe and tijbortlm of white lace around the round decol- lotago. The skirt falls open from the belt , disclosing an undersKirt of white satin with three wide llouncas of wide lace , reaching above the knees. ImiKirted spring tollots for elegant evening wear In many of their features embody a renaissance 6f all that was stately and beautiful In the gowning of past centuries. The Louis coats of heavy flowered satin , the long em broidered waistcoats , thq Tudor' sleeves , gored skirts , pointed or rouud-waistod Empire bodices , and flowing trains ap pear In fine contrast to the severe Quakorliko tollots and costumes af fected by sorno of the wealthiest and boit-drossod women in this country , the chatelaine gowns for Lenten wear being one of the favorites. Caprice and fancy seem to have run riot among many of the spring suitings. There are fine imitations of rough sur faced goods not unlike tbo Old-stylo bison cloth. Whllo the fabric looks ox- t"omoly oonrm. * , the texture of which It 1 1 made Is oxgjjf ltely fine. The threads are purposely 'iinn with bars , tufts and rough lines to K-o variety to the sur face. Into UwSJUp threads are twisted long Hooey halrri.whieh are brushed out In stripes aftdr the weaving is completed , making lines Wf oft downy color varying from half an u ch to two or three Inches in width.
