There is every Indication that the wpl-
come to America to the Infunta Eulalio
and her husband will bo in every way
befitting her rank. It is equally certain
that she will bo a person of great interest
Jto Americans. The women of America
{ will bo especially interested in her. Not
{ only la uho young and gay and beauti
ful , but her gowns and jewels will win
"admiration from every fomlnino heart.
Her wardrobe for her American trip
contains forty costumes. The day she
landed at Havana she wore a shep
herd's plaid wool , trimmed with dark
ted velvet , with hat to match. In the
txttornoon she wore a white foulard silk
gown with sprays of purple flowers
and grcon trimmings. In the evenIng -
Ing at the theater she had on a gown of
black and pink brocade with green trim-
to in p. Her ornaments wore pearls , a
necklace of ten strings , a bridal gift
from her sister Isabella. Oh her head
1 she were a dindom with a troflo. At an
olllcinl banquet her toilet was a magni
ficent dark brown brocade with lace
decoration. With this she were no
jewels.
The infanta's costumes are marvels of
the dressmaker's art , and the loom and
the jewel casket have been drawn on
without stint. Ono costume is polo blue
satin woven with silver and trimmed
'with Brussels lace. With this toilet
eho wears turquois and diamonds.
A beautiful blnok toilet embroidered
with gold und trimmed with rare old
- " lace is n reception gown. With this she
wears o tiara of pearls and diamonds ,
given , her by her brother , the late king
of Spain , and a pearl and diamond ncck-
laco.

"In whatever state of existence the
American woman iinds herself through
the vicifahitudes of this transitory life ,
whatever shadowy valleys she may bo
called upon to pass through , whatever
heights of rapture she may triumph-
fintly reach , she always keeps ono
corner of her mind clear nnd collected
pn the subject of her clothes , " says the
JTow York Sun , "Sho may have found

The enormity of bread eating , it ap
pears , is only second to that of drinking
liquor. It la not yet called a vice , as
vice implies consciousness of offeubo ,
But the two go hand in hand. A dis
tinguished foreign authority says that
tlio eating of broad inevitably tends to
jBrunkonnoss. Dr , Kinmott Denamoro ,
in his recent "book , apostrophizes bread
aa the staff of deathwhich will barecog-
jpized us u distinctly now reudlug. It
-.Twill astonish those apoatlctj of cookery
who are going through the country
teaching wolnen how to make good
bread that. In tlio now light , they ore
fceauhora of unrighteousness , and almost
AB injurious to public and private morals
§ p it they ran a dlstillecy or kept a
Mloaiu. Another physician of wide rep

HSlucurt r .

the diatltlorica of the world. The irri
tability of dyspopMn , in fact , is nothing
but n species of intoxication produced
by tlio eating of bread , Iwana , potatoes
and suoh llko foods. This , if it does not
got into the police courts , in sum pro
duces ns much domestic unhapplness tw
liquor. While the sale of liquor is re
stricted by license and excise laws , the
nefarious trade of bakers and the Bale of
breadstuiTs ravage tlio world unchecked.

The "lawn masquerade" will be a
feature of the summer hospitality. This
unique form of entertainment Is certain
uCi ut < bo appreciated by the guests , who ,
coming in fancy dresses and masks , beau
tified ' by lantern-hung pavilions , refresh
ment canopies , toto-a-teto nooks and
open-air dancing hall.
The grounds nro of course lighted
with just that mixture of brilliancy and
shadow most appreciated by couples
who prefer moonlit corners to the day
time effects of electric lights. Iced
coIToo , chocolate , biscuits , diamond-
shaped sandwiches , wines , cakes , fruit ,
bonbons nnd ices of every description
may bo included In the dainties of the
refreshment tent. Of course , the hostesi
who cannot extend a great deal of
luxury to her guests cconomb.es more In
tlio matter of the spread than the music ,
which to make the lawn masquerade u
success must bo of the best.
Anticipating this form of summer
gaiety , several social belles are prepar
ing beforehand their fancy costumes.
Lady Buttercup , Water Sprite , Tree
Fairy , Twilight , Moonlight , Maid of the
Mist and Shadow are some of the pretty
costumes in which , until the unmasking ,
maids and madames will conceal their
identity while participating In the pleas
ures of the luwn masquerade.
In South Africa the Kafllr servants
have formed a union to which the mem
bers have to give a "character" for their
mistresses. No member is allowed to
enter upon a situation unless the regis
tered character of the mistress of the
house is satisfactory. Of course , in more
civilized countries the superior condi
tions of the serving woman prohibits
the need of auch a union. The earth
and the fulness thereof belongs to the
maid servant. The mistress is a poor
down-trodden creature nguinst whom
there is no need to organize. She never

When there came to the household of
the duke and duchess of Portland a baby
daughter some years ago the duchess in
sisted on the duke's converting the gist _
of diumonds ho contemplated purchasing

on his estate might bo cured for. Now
thut u bon bus corno to inherit the name
and title , the duke hus remitted 20 per
cent of the rents of the tenants on the
Wolbeck estate , nnd hus directed his
agent to prevent the carrying out of the
proposed baptismal present from the
tenants to the infant marquis , because
in thobo times such a gift would beiv

It has been said often that it was a
physical impossibility for women to play
billiards , really well because her clothes
are built the wrong way. It is principally
the sleeves thut nro ut fuult , for u
woman's bodice is not like n man's coat
and cannot be removed , or if it is ex
changed for the billiard jacket , a gar
ment resembling a tea jacket and worn
by smnrt women , this does not obviate
the difllculty , for the garments beneath
it are too tight. But dress notwith
standing champion lady billiard player
has arisen , Lady Elena Wickham , and
she won the final heat of the Hunting
donshire billiard handicap. It was
played at the Grand Hotel , Peterbor
ough , and the ladyjs success has caused
much stir among the amateur lady
players.

Fashionmakers , like poets , are born ,
not mado. It is not the great artists or
the leading bocioty ladies , not oven the
famous beauties , any more that make
the mode. They induce it , endorse it ,
realize its possibilities , and all the world
follows. But the real inventors of modes ,
like the inventors of other marvels , live
unhonorod und die unsung , while the
other fellow gets the benefit. They are
quiet women or men , unknown to the
fnshionublo clientele , employed by lead
ing business houses to puzzle out week
after week something now undsturtling ,
to evolve from their inner consciences
effective novelties to catch the fancy of
rich nnd capricious women animated by
u desire to outshine their kind. And
these quiet women are playing u great
part in the cultivation of the beautiful
und the encouragement of art. Why
should It be accounted us less nn art to
minister unto the taste of the beautiful
in the tlros's of women than in the eleva
tion of the ideal in line buildings or ex
quisite hangings and decorations , save
only that the urt of the dress'has no per
petuity , no fixed and unalterable stand
ard of excellence ?
VllSllloll INOtOH ,
Lace frills for the neck are qulto in
favor.
Graduated puffs , varying from four to
ten inches wide , trim some ol the new
skirts.
Smoked ivory buttons , big and little ,
uro to bo conspicuous adjuncts to the
promenade toilet.
Vivid scarlet silk blouses are shown ,
which are to bo worn with black beaded
zomive.s , having luce epaulettes and bows
on the shoulders.
mong the fashionable greens a prom
inent tint is watermelon , and gronudino
with u stripe of this color on white is
among stylish fabrics now worn.
Very elaborately embroidered velvet
or very rluh brocaded velvet is used for
the collars , cuffs , vests and bolero-jacket
on some of the ultra fushionablu cos
tumes.
Pink accessories are still used on gray
toilets , but a newer and sometimes more
becoming color-note on gray is that of
pivlo yellow in crepe de chine , chiflon or
striped silk.
All the nine-gored skirts are lined to
the knee with oriuollno , and as a rule ,
the beams uro either covered with nar
row gimps or jot bunds , or piped with
uilk or satin.
Broadcloths are particularly striking ,
their fine quality and beautiful color
schemes causing thorn to take first rank
among the fabrics that will bo used for
handsome street and carriage costumes
this spring.
The white and light-gray tops to shoes
of patent leather worn' for walking and
the chocked tops in black and white are
among now ollects in footwear. Bud is
also seen in such tops , with small black
buttons sot very cloao together.
A three-quarter length' jacket of
rough plaid , with wide belt and loose
hood , is among the latest importations.
It is designed for traveling , riding or
evening outings. The sleeves uro very
loose at the tops , which Ia u necessity ,
considering the present style of dross
alcove ,
Pink , violet and yellow , combined
with what is known as moss reseda ,
which Is a golden green , are the moat
fashionable combinations of colors for
evening or boudoir toilets. Different
shades of those oxqulaito colors prove
exquisitely becoming to blonde or bru
nette.
Gloves are coming out In the most
astounding shades of green , bright blue
nnd purple. Do not , howoxor , bo In
veigled into buying them because they
happen to lx > now nothing could ho In
worse tusto than colored gloves for day
wear. Soft tans and grays nro about the
only shades worn by well dressed
women.
The Vandyke sleeve capes which taper
to a point above the elbow are now quite
as often added to the short open jacket
as the square-shaped Russian model.
These capes are plaited very full at the
top this season to make them stand out
prominently , thus giving a more drcsny
appearance to the already olTectlvo
jacket.
The number of bolts , girdles and
chatelaines shown this spring Is legion.
Some of them are do.signcd exclusively
for elaborate dresses. These are crusted
with gems and uro very expensive , They
are modeled after the chatelaines worn
by Marie Antoinette nnd the Empress
Josephine.
A rose niching of plnked-out silk in
contrasting color is seen at the horn of
some of the fashionable drosses. A
niching of this sort made of velvet and
lined with bright-colored silk was seen
on a recent Paris order. The velvet was
turned in at the edge nnd bllnd-stltchod
down to the silk , which was pinked and
plaited very full.
A ptirasol sheath Is a long and rather
narrow bag of white linen drawn to
gether at the top by white satin ribbons
and lined with white silk. Between the
bag and the lining little Bcont packets
arc sowed. With the parasol safely
put inside and the ribbon strings tightly
drawn , the fear of dust and rubbing
against soiling substances is douo away
with.
A new kind of fichu is composed of
wide bands nnd rosettes of palo tur
quoise blue satin ribbon , from which
there falls a deep frill of the now ser
pentine crepe a lovely French material ,
which has nil the appearance of accor
dion-plaited crepe do chine. The satin
ribbons pass over the shoulders and are
fastened with a largo rosette at the
back.
Among the judicious provisions al
ways made by sensible women are wraps
suitable for evening outings. A hand
some garment , designed for this pur
pose , Is a double capo of soft , fleecy
camels' hair. It is trimmed with a Hat
fold edged by a narrow double fold of
satin , which is stitched under the cdgo
of the fold of the material. The capo
has a collar that rolls back , or can be
turned up around the throat if required.
The little velvet jacket for spring and
summer days is u novel feature , as it
converts u gown of light wool into a
walking costume. When the jacket is
adapted and limited to u single go'vn it
may be bo sleeveless and worn over the
corsage ; otherwise , with sleeves in the
jacket , the corsage may be replaced by
a vest or blouse for house wear. In
color the velvet may shade \ \ 1th that of
the gown or it may be in contrast , it
preferred.
Veils are very largo , and so nearly
approaching the cumbersome and un
manageable that the old-time fashion of
buttons in the corners has been revived.
These are admirable for windy weather ,
as the weight of the buttons keeps them
from blowing off or twisting around over
the face. Instead of buttons some ladies
use tiny bows of ribbon with a small
load weight sowed in the corner of the
veil. These ribbon knots are rather
prettier than the buttons and much
more ( convenient , as they are not so
likely to get the corners" the veil
twisted.
Among parasols for general uses are
those of corded silk lined
with shot surah. India silk pafa-
sols in delicate tints , or in white ,
have a pretty wrought border
ut the edge , or are finished with slightly
gathered pinked flounces. Fancy para
sols are of crepe de chine or silk muslin
sprinkled with velvet dots and of India
silk draped with gau/e and festooned
with very beautiful lace flounces. Span
ish parasols , called the Isabella models ,
are , of vivid yellow crepe veiled with
silk-dotted black lace flounce daintily
scalloped in black und gold.
Florists are preparing for the coming
season by far the prettiest thing in the
shape of a floral fun to bo used in the
dining room. Tlio waving fan may be
shaped in any way to suit the hostess ,
and just before it is &et in motion the
florist will fasten firmly to the fan great
numbers of beautiful roses , lilies and
other fragrant flowers. Throughout
the room will bo spread the perfuuio of
the flowers , and the dining room will
bo kept quite cool and comfortable. The
idea is u very good one and promises to
become very popular. Many of our well
appointed homos have electric funs at
tached to the ceiling of the dining room
with very good effect.
Despite the fact that fashion has de
creed in favor of guy gowns for this
spring and summer wear the woman
with good taste will never select any of
the bright purples , queer grays and un
happy blues that uro effected by those
who desire to bo considered decidedly
up to dutc. Though those colors may
bu the fashion of the hour they most
certainly are not us appropriate to wear
on the street as the more quiet tones. A
woman of refinement seokn to efface her
self rather than to uttract attention
either by her uttiro or her manner.
Therefore , for shopping or for walking
on crowded thoroughfures it is well to
do away with ull those things that will
cuuso remarks from passers-by.
