YOHK , Jan. IS. The greatest bug-
licar women have to confront when changing
Itholr drcssmakcra Is the expense of a new
jxilr of stays. U has become the custom of
every professional mistress of the robes to
OcmLn. , ) that the gowna she makes bo fitted
over a pel and particular cut of corset , and
us the corset the dreasmakcr rccemmciKU Is
invariably phenomenally expensive , a faint
; nhlft of brimstone Is noticeable In the
nartortat air. The mcflt august mlstrcrses of
the needle will not guarantee a perfect ad
justment of a txMque isiloas stays low on lie
bimt and Bhort on the hips nre used , and for
thin women they are recommending , nay , al
most forcing the use of stays padded with
This material Is Introduced especially under
the arms and under prcject'lng shoulder
Jidc3. ! Jllrs arc built out by placing layers
on layers of ewan's down on the under aide
ot that portion of the corset tliat fits over the
! hlK | ! and Is declared by those who have ex-
jicrlmcntcd In all manner of materials to bo
* ho wily one tha < exactly simulates springy
ctiatvions of flesh. Apropos of swan's down It
In an open secret that these who In the bit
terest weather wear In the street their smart
Immaculatcly-nttlng suits , without other
.fwrap than a necklet of sable or marten tails ,
ore Hlmply padded from throat to below the
WvUtllnci with this downy Inner ccatof the
nwan'ci body. Cloth sleeves for their arms
nro Interlined with It until exquUlte nym-
anctry Is attained anil the body of any dress
can by uce of It be built out to hliow the
( lovelies ! curves ami lines. In consequence of
Kills artificial figure the owner thereof need
not hide her newly found feature under a
ccat.
In the way of new corsets ono good thing
< ho dressmakers have taken under ttielr
"patronage " , stays made of pucdo. A thicker
undressed sklsi , of course. Is used than that
for gloves , nevertheless , all the soft , plKible
rwarmth of a guilt do suede Is enjoyed In these
mow figure-makers that are regular plums
fallen in the net too easy path ot the dis
tinctly plump ladles of fashion.
Tlio especial virtue of the skin coraet Is
that It always g'lvea a little to the figure
every time It la assumed and thereby conveys
ifrcah and pleasing outlines. It Is as well
purchasable In lovely bright colors , IU trlm-
anlng ucually ccnststs of tiny frills of pinked
ribbon n d It clcscs just like a glove. It
la also very txwy to believe the saleswoman'
B'atoment that a pair of suede corsets will
very nearly last a decade , but It should be
iborno In mind that they are not for summer
line.
Justice demands the adnvls.ilcn that all
fiuodo ta > s are not so expensive as to daunt
economical shoppers , unless extravagant
decorations are icqulrcd. Decorations refer
especially to pretty little silver hooks and
( buttons in trout , silver eyelets at the back
and up en the left breast a tiny interwoven
silver moncgrnm. ,
COMFORTABLE LACING.
Here Is another boon for ihe stout women
who suffer from a surplus , or Clips , etc. , nnd
who have too much cci science or lee hearty
appetites to tuce. Let them give ear to the
now theory of lacing their corsets by w.ilch
too solid Ilcah may be held.In . abcjaiice and
yet no harm done i/hyt'ically.
The dressmakers have gotten Into this now
Device from a physician who sajs to pull
out your corset laces ns you now have them ,
flay the eyelet sides of the corbels vls-o. via ,
ns though to begin a fresh orthodox lacing
and then taking one lacer put It , from be
neath , through an cylct at the waist line on
that side of your corset lying at your left.
Draw the laccr through this one and let an
end four or five Inches long project. Now
take the other laccr and pass It through that
eyelet next belcrnr the one where the other ,
lacer first went through and draw It down >
to the bottom eyelet , run through nnd let a
five-Inch end hang. 1'ick up the great length
of the first lacer and begin zigzagging it
back and forth through eyelets on both sides
of the two sections of the corset until an end
hangs out opposite the first end mentioned.
With the long portion of the second lacer
zlzzag through the holes cf both pieces of
corset to the bottom , where an end must
1mng out opposite the second end mentioned.
When so laced put on the corsets , hook
them , and sec what will happen. Simply
pull on the top and bottom ends ot the laces
that are not zigzagged through , and the cor
set will first draw In to fit about the waist
and ribs comfortably and without pressure.
At top and 'bottom , through where , over the
bust and hips , the edges of stays always pro
ject and add greatly to the girth , these edges
will draw In perfectly tight and flat.
No discomfort will be felt , and , so lacing her
stays , a woman can reduce her hip and bust
measure a matter of thrco to five inches. In
doing this , the flesh Is not rolled up under
her chin or thrust out In ungainly lumps ,
but. .because the stay Is easy at waist line
and over ribs , the surplus fat Is gracefully
readjusted.
EAIUUNOS ONOE MORlE.
So much for some of the secrets of the
toilet. Toudilng matters of less Import , hon
esty demands a faithful reporting of the fact
that rings are dangling from many pretty
pairs of little pink ears. To tell the truth ,
these have only been seen In the "hupper
suckles" of society , but who , pray , sets the
fashions If not that very coterie ?
To make these barbaric ornaments popu-
.ar , the Jewelers nre contriving the most
sensible little attachments , by which car-
rings can be comfortably worn end no cruel
hole forced through the under lobe. From
the top of the ring a thread-like gold hook
passes up Into the hollow of the oir In front ,
and at the back a little gold foot lies against
the tender lobe with a firm , yet not annoy-
'ag pressure. Thus the ornament U hung
on safely and painlessly.
Stud' eardrops are meat distinctly out of
this new wee. Long , lovely drops , so long
as to almost touch the 'neck , are the mode ,
though a pair of perfect pearl-shaped pearls
dangling from' ' the tip of the lobe , are like
solitaire diamond rings , the expression of
utmost elegant rcPnement In jewels.
Perhaps If there la a woioin who Is going
to have her cherished diamond ring reset ,
oho will llc'tcn to a word of wisdom and
follow tlio latest fashion , and select her set
ting In the form ot a coronet In variously
colored gold. The amart and aovel settings
for largo stones are ducal coronets , while
oniall gems are exquisitely placed In prongs
of goli ! ' to represent a sovereign ruler's
crown , the diamond set exactly In the top ,
Almost entirely have these new crown de
signs taken the place of the long-loved but
painfully over-copied marquise rings.

Mere Adele , Millet's model tor the "An-
golus" has for < ho first time had Tier fine
features reproduced In the plastic art. She
has been painted , sketched , photographed and
posed by painters and students , but It re-
lltto ! thnUhoJ cottage whore she now livta
Her fiither was a deserter from one of Na
poleon's regiments , Ho hid In Darblzon and
later married Adelc'a mother.
Her earliest remembrances are of her life
In the fields , helping her father to gather
potatoes nnd turnip ? . At the age of 15 she
was taken Into the house of Mme. Millet us
a domestic. She took almost entire clnrgo
of the painter's children and In her apiro
momenta pced.
The story goes that while she was one day
sslstlng her father In the fields Millet
watched her from Ills studio window urn
made several sketches of her In hli skotcl
) > ook. Just as he waa about to leave the win
dow he saw the father and daughter bow
their heads In prayer as the Aagelus bo !
pulled from the little tUrblzon church tower
It was then that he > conceived the Idea fo
the painting which made- his reputation , an'
which Incidentally made that ot hla model.
Francois Millet Is the only remalnln
member of the family of the Illustrlou
p Viler. Ho lives In his father's house am
follows closely In his father's footsteps
Adclo has posed for many of his picture ? an <
has known him man and boy.
A RECEPTION TOILET.
simpler hats. Nothing oin be more allur
ingly , darling than a-sapphire .blue felt , with
just a yard of cerlss taffeta twisted about
the crown , perky bows and cads starting up
In every direction and all the edges double
pinked. Here nnd there the taffeta wan
caught down with cheap pins set with mock j
sapphires and rhlnestcacs.
Nobody yet dares to assume which ways
hats are going to tilt for spring wearing ,
but just In this mldscason a tendency Is
making toward piling everything in front.
Take a look , for Instance , at the crowning i
glory on the head of the model In the braided I
ccat. It Is typical of the daring frontage |
now used. Here the hat trim Is of modest )
proportions : it Is the mounting black and !
white ostrich tlos that lend t'.io stately effect. |
Another hat worth mentioning boasted a |
brim I'our acid one-half Inches wide , and this
wa.s turned directly off the face , bent Into' '
three perpendicular flutes , and over the edge
of the brim , finished by puffings of black
chiffon , nodded the heavy heads of half a
dozen prize tall feathers.
INCONSISTENT FASHIONS.
But who can reckon upon the sweet Incon
sistency of fashion which is half her charm !
To January ball dancers tire going shod In
white suede and saUci slippers over black
stockings , or exhibiting pretty heels in black j
Md and tatln slippers over flesh olnk hosiery. >
The stockings are either openworked or cm- i
broldcccil up the Instep , nnd young and giddy ]
lrls attach to the toes of t'.ielr slippers' '
little metal bells , no bigger than the ctid ot'
one's thumb. Nevertheless they are sweet ,
out ! tinklers and pretty ornaments. |
White suede gloves are gushing the glace
Mils out In the cold for evening and afternoon - '
'
noon wear , and the last news as to sashes
hews cne fastened on the left hip , the other |
about the region of the placket hole , and the i
two lengths knotted together gracefully about I
in Inch above the knees , letting fall thence i
ace-edged cc luflle-boucid endii to the bo > -
tom of the skirt. It contribute ? this , n j
Graceful bit of drapery , to n very plain skirt.
I'crhfos this Is significant of something )
.n the future for all these women who can In .
January afford to rejuvenate their winter !
vardiobcs ace s'lnwlng coats and gowns the.
least dressy In nature elaborately garnished' '
with countless little buttons. Glance at the
girl In the plumy hat to remark the double
ow of small cut-steel buttons down the
'jralded front of her Jacket and rparkllng on
her cults.
In favcc of these little fellows big buttons
are everywhere coolly discarded and the
tailor dresses are brightly decorated , on skirt
is well as basque , with rows of buttons made
f glass , out. colored and polished to represent
eabochon gems. Gowns In all the colors of
purple twinkle with the little oibochon ame-
hysts , green suits wlt'.i bulet-sliE ! ( > ed emer
alds and brown toilets With small round to-
'JB7
'JB7rjcsldo buttons It Is essential to chronicle
the fact that many very smart but simple
tloth dresses have their scums strapped or
piped with eoft , highly dressed leather. This
may sound excessively iblzarre and therefor i
not tempting to conservative women , but a
tough , red or brown cloth walking skirt are
nil the smarter for simple pattern ? In what
seems to ibc Huesia leather , stitched on the
slrt ! In a panel and up the box front of
the coat. Suits of winter covert are greatly
enhanced by touches down the seams of pig
u'ku ( , and the green cloth suits tot off with
black leather trimmings In place of brain
dcservo all praUo and patronage.
After all , It Is very much go-as.you-plcaso
with regard to cut of skirt. One woman
elects to wear a petticoat that fits down to
her knees , almost like a sheath , and from
thcro to her feet Hares most outrageously
nud measures six yards In circumference.
Another equally fastidious daughter of Eve
wants her body flounced to the waist and her
ekirt 'barely ' thrco yards about < the foot. Jf
eho is very open-eyed , this last mentioned ,
she will demand to have her flounces laid
In Una knife plaits , and possibly every plait
edged with lace or fur.
Now to make thli * babel of tastes more
apparent to the placid onlooker , take note of
the skirt In the < blg picture this week. It Is
neither flounced nor full. It Is betralnod
and displays one of the novelties In color
ing. In the original the gown Is of burnt
oraugo velvet , on which are applied hugo
lavender velvet popples , with long green
stems. And yet no teeth ore on edge. As a
matter of fact the peacock and the rainbow
are no longer color studies with which
women may bo compared. Our up-to-date
dre&vmaker finds that bird and the prlum
rathort lacking In color , and yet so glo
riously are all the now materials toned that
a perfect salad of colors never creates an
unpleasant confusion.
Gun metal , as applied to the toilet , has
malned for Mr. Drcoks-of Boston to complete
a half life-sized 'bu t of the famous model In
wax. U has beeii cast In plaster and Is soon j j
to be reproduced In bronze and marble. '
This iwlll probably be Adclc's last appear- |
ancc among the artists. She has long since i
I given up posing , nnd It was not an easy task I
for the sculptor to get her to pose. Though I
poor and almost In want , the old woman
was sensitive about having her pained , careworn - '
worn and wrinkled features reproduced. She i
knew that portraits which will Immortalize ;
her , taken In all her strength , vigor , health ,
and beauty , had been sent out to the world
years ago , and , on the laurels which they .
have brought her she was contented to rest , j
Besides , she is now too feeble to pose , for
though only 58 years of age , Mere Adele is
a confirmed Invalid , and unable to move
fiom her easy chair without assistance. And
it was not until Mr. 'Brooks ' had assured her j
that she would not have to hold a pose whllu
he wcrked that she consented to let him
bring his wax and bulU the little bust. >
Though the sculptor allowed the old
woman to hold a most natuial pose , she soon ,
wearied and ho was obliged to have three
sittings. While posing she plodded backward - ]
ward over her checkered life , and told stoiles
of her youth and palmy days in Barbizon. i
Once started on this subject she was another {
woman. The faded eyes sparkled , the
blanched checks flushed and an animated
expression lllttcd over the sad face. I
"Ah , 'Mr , iBrooks , " she said over and over ,
again , "this will ba my last posing. I'm too
old , too old , for this business now. It was
all right when I was a girl and young and
strong and pretty , so they said ; It's a young
woman that an artist wants , not a worn and
'worked ' out old woman .like mo. My day is
gone ; It's upward of thirty-five years slnco
the gocd M. Millet first painted mo , and
many things have happened since then. "
In her simple-mindedness Mere Adele Is
unconscious that her beauty now , though of
another type. Is far boymd what it waj ,
when she was Millet's favorite model. The
very beauty for which Millet chose her has
become Interallied by her life of struggle ,
poverty and care , The face Is more tender ,
more enduring , sweeter In expression and be.
spoiks a life of honest toll , supported by un
dying faith.
She was born within a stone's throw of the
It is nice to know that the feeble woman
'd well locked after in her old age and In-
flrmlty by an American , girl who has lately
become the wife of Francois Millet. Mrs.
Francois Millet was Miss Reed of New York.
Sheu.akes frequent visits to Adelc'a cot
tage and adds many comforts to the little
home.

Some distinct novelties In sofa pillow
covers have recently been shown In the art
embroidery stores , and these will prove a
welcome change to the housewife who finds
that new covers have to be provided for
the pillows which have become faded or
worn.
The first of these Is the poster pillow.
This la especially appropriate for the studio
corner , ifor the bachelor apartments or for a
reading room. The cover Is of a light
cream canvas , upon which Is printed a poster
In two or three colors. Of course , being
a poster , the outlines arc strong , and there
Is no shading. As a consequence , the mat
ter of finishing it Is ivery simple. The lines
of each figure are gone over with one color
of embroidery silk , usually black. This Is
all the work that Is to bo put upon It. The
revcrsu side of the pillow Is ot the plain
canvas , and the edge Is to be flnlshed with
a black cord.
The pillow Is very striking , and. If ap
propriately placed , proves most effective.
The daintiest pillow of all Is an entirely
new departure In linen crash covers. The
one exhibited In a leading art store was of
the blue and white crash In largo checks.
Flvo squares made tlio width. The pillow
W B made and finished like those which have
been so popular for some time past. The
milled edge was embroidered In feather
stltcli.
The distinctively now feature was the
method of embroidering the body of the
cover. In the white square at each corner
In the one , and midway between each cor
ner , was embroidered a simple scroll figure.
The same figure was also embroidered In the
center square and In the four squares diag
onally between the center and the corners.
The 'work ' Is done in two shades of blue ,

A new trade 1ms sprung up among wage
earning women of < Ncw York , ami ono so
essentially femlnlno In Its nature that It
seems strange no woman over thought of It
before. It Is that of "professional mender. "
The professional mender Is a boon beyoml
comparison to the helpless bachelor , and
an enemy to the sighing maid. What
bachelor with comfortable apartments ami
beautifully cared for wardrobe Is going to
give up his freedom for the thraldom ot
marriage bonds ?
Ily this new Industry many a woman Is
earning a comfortable living In a perfectly
womanly way. The woman who originated
the scheme said to a reporter :
"I was at my wits' end , I had never been
brought up to work ami did not even know
how to set to work to find anything to do. I
had gone to see a very wealthy woman one
day , who has been exceedingly kind to me ,
and assisted me In many ways. Talking over
my Inability to find steady employment
which would not need experience , she pro
posed that while waiting for something to
turn up I should try and get some mending
or plain sewing to do.
"I did get some work of this kind , nut It
was spasmodic , nnd not very remunerative.
One day she sent for me. 'I have an Idea
for 5011 , ' she said. 'Would you bo willing to
mend for bachelors ; In fact , to take the
entire supervision of their wardrobes ? '
" 'Certainly I should. ' 1 replied. 'If you
thought I was capable of It. '
" 'You can try , at any rate , and If you nre
the woman 1 think you arc I am certain you
will succeed. '
"So I tried and have succeeded beyond my
wildest anticipations. How did she come ( o
hit upon the scheme ? Why , In this way :
She was talking mo over with her bus-
'band ' , telling him my struggle to eke out
a bare existence by mending and plnln
sewing , and ho nad suggested that I ahould
try to get Borne bachelors to give me tbolr
mending to do. Ho spoke to two or three
bachelor friends ail hi * club , and the result
was that I soon h.vd three bachelor custom
ers In three different apartments , nnd
through them I was given employment 'by
friends of theirs In the same house ? , BO
that now I have more work than I can pos
sibly attend to , and have started a cousjln of
nilno In the business.
" 1 have certain hours and certain days fo
each customer. 1 do not ( begin my work ut
til after 11 o'clock In the morning. Th
majority of bachelors do not leave thcl
rooms until between 0 and 10 o'clock , am
then they have to bo put In order by lh
servant i of the hou.se.
"J keep the clothes brushed nni , laid care
fully away. I went to a tailoring establish
incut and learned exactly how to fold a pal
of trousers , how to hang or fold a coat , ant
am Just as adept at the work now as a vale
would be. Of course , when there Is a vale
kept I confine myself strictly to mondlnf ,
but where there IEI no valet I do evcrythln
necessary to bo done.
"I receive $3 a week for taking entlr
charge and ? 1.CO for mending. I have at th
present tlmo eight customers , nnd I mak
$21 iipcr week. I leave my bill , with th
extras which I have paid out during th
week , on the customer's desk or dresser , am
I alwayu find the money waiting for me o
Mnnil.iv morning when I go to attend to th
laundry , or the valet hands It to mo. I h iv
not had the slightest particle of trouble s
far. nnd I really do not anticipate any.
"J do everything for a man , as fur as keep
Ing his wardrcbo In order Is concerned. If
see that his collars and cuffs are beglnnln
to.show signs ofi wear I make a little mem
orandum to that effect am" ptn It to my hit
reminding him to replenish the article
which I have 'been authorized to thro\
away. If hla silk underwear or pajann
show signs of giving out I do the sam
thing. "

The special feature of the latest evening
cloaks Is the large hood .it the back , whlcl

Some sort of headdress Is a positive neces

Iresftcs seem to Increase In size as the season
advances. Three feathers , either black 01
vhlto , with a , Jo\\elod aigrette towering high
at me side , are not ususua ! , and young
vomen wear flowers eg a substitute- for the
eweled ornament.
The one thing to accomplish In hair dross-
US Is the broad effect at- the side ; whether
t Is becoming or not , you must have It. The
air Is brushed back over a large roll pompa-
our style and arranged In one or two loops
cry tight on the head. A jeweled pin is
ometlmcs fastened low one side In front to
dd to the appeaiunce of breadth.

'rench toques which , for the moment , uro
