NIW YOIIK , Fob. 4 A heart-to-heart
talk about ohullls rould easily nil Uio whole
of our fashion letter , for liore they arc from
the drat batch of soft nnd tempting beau
ties , and nny woman can take her choice ,
paying In money all ttio way from 30 to
C5 cents a yard. A challl * Is a perfectly
info and solid Investment for spring , sum
mer or autumn wear , such flno artistic feel
ing liavo the manufacturers shown In the
dyeing decorating and weaving of their new
output that It Is , almost Impossible to buy
a truly ugly one , nnd If the expensive brands
are the most beautiful the cheaper ones are
far and away the most durable.
Candor anil experience compels the warn
ing that If nny woman Is deciding to buy
A challls nt 03 cents a yard , let her select
It In ft pretty palo tone , and Itcep It as one
of her railing and church toilets exclusively
Thesn hub-priced weaves arc delicious to the
touch nnd graceful as China silk , but they
are hack again with the charming satin
stripe , and they will not bear up under
tlio stress of shopping tours , tiavel , etc.
Their smartist manifestation of color Is
a clear cardinal red , wllh black polka dots ,
and either a red or black satin stripe
The other popular tours In which costlier
challls are seen. Is metal blue , forest green
and a slhcry gray , \lmost without excep
tion they are brightened by white or black
polka dots not all of otu > sire , but large
ami small dots mingled. A goodly percent are
( lowered tastefully in small rosebuds , or
slmplj line rows of pale green slmllax vine ,
running between rather wide lavender or
pink , or blue bands. The sturdier challls
have all the good colors anil figures pos
sible , but t "d to darker tones.
The satin strlpo is getting Its Inning every
where , for the gl chains are pervaded with

Novui/riES roti THE NI K.
Perhaps Interest In veils bus waned be
fore tbs all-absorbing , topic of new ways of
decorating the neck. It Is really wonder
ful the amount ot trimming. * women Insist
on Minding about their throats , For the
moment It Is proper to tie jour Ms , soft
ullk cravat under the left sldo of the chin
nnd let one end fall to the bust , the other
to the waist lino. The big knot beneath
the Mr must not have wide loops , bow-
over nnd the newest cravuts are madn ot
eofl piece- silk , edged with a half-Inch
i'nia border of black or white shirred chiffon
fen Some truly lovely neck sashea are nmjo of
ohecr vvhlto nubs , having hemstitched
cdxeu ami cream luce ends , und these am
tied to the loft under small lapping collars
of whltu umbroltlered muslin , or ma > bo
under two collar points , faced with I'imlnf.
Cravats like these are worn Indoord and
not with coals alone , and they ore going to
ta won ) right gtralght on through the sea-
eon up to lister , and fur beyond , because
( White gwlss four-lih-tmnd neckties , having
broad , vhort ends , edged with narrow lace ,
are in among the lawtu and muslins , etc.
Metalline , Just as wo have got accuitomed
to aeelng our women wearing anywhere
from , three to twenty fur tails under their
chins , fashion has turned on her heel and
declared that the tails must now bang from
the back ot the neck , and so the greatest
majority -will be worn until It la time to lay
fur * aside.
Tb6 Indication * are that as the weatber
breaks women will paes from fur to feather
trimmed wraps , and then to thoao deco *
rated with silk muslin or chiffon rtHilngs
Incept dlrrctly In front , the spring wraps
will bo qulto short I'lnd conviction for
this statement In the sketch given of v"
little braided coat that l. going to Florida
the ( list of February. It Is a mastic cloth
braided In green , with what ore called stole
fronts , and a tiroid neck decoration made
only of crisp silk muslin ruffles. Inside ,
the coat Is lined with jcllow. In fact ,
every Unable garment Is brightened within
In either bright red or bright vellow.
A conuncT HAUIT.
Golf , they say. Is responsible for this , as
well as for the Increasing gaiety of the
latent made riding habits. Melancholy black
cloth used to be the choice of the smartly
tncunted woman , but now she- chooses her
habit In a warm | ilum color or Hobln Hood
green or golden brown , and Into her waist
coat cud necktie ste contrives to concentrate
a brave show of stilppj and buttons.
The habit skirt has not \arled by a hair's
broidth or length cither In the last two
or three JMTS , but the ccats for the present
have rather long skirts and are made to roll
back and reveal waistcoats of considerable
gilvty. These fasten with big Mat or round
bullet buttons of brass or silver and as the
waistcoat Itself Is often either ot silk or
satin , or very rlrh tailors' vesting , it may
bo stilpeil or dotted or even figured to aim
individual ta'te , atid aome nf them are even
undo with pockets that have ibps. while a
full Jabot of crenni lace and high satin stock
nils In above the top vest button.
Such frivolity Is only seen , however , In the
riding schools and clubs on afternoons and
evenings of drills and musical rides. Out of
doors a severe high white linen collar la Hie
thlnif with cither a brlgtit cardinal or ( ilahl
-.icot tie filling In below the chin. In the
open air the wlnt r soft hats have been
itcjdlly worn by riding women In preference
to the tti. ) hit or hard derby , for the pliable
iiilno has not half the weight of either of
the others and Is at once a warmer and
better ventilated headgear.
On the ice an old-fashioned garment , the
cardlpin Jacket , has como Into the most
overwhelming iicpnlarlty Brilliant red wool
ones , hand knitted and. fastened UT.I the fiont
with silver livery buttons , outnumber all
their lively green and blue and black nnd
) cllow ilvals ten to one Skaters prefer them
to sweaters and find them far easier to lly
about In than costly furs and heavy cloth
coats.
Oaly the affluent few sling their muffs
about their throats by Jewelled chains , but
newer and certainly far more appropriate
Is the cl.crice for the woman of omall means
to wear her muff hung to her shoulders
by meina of a smait varnished or kid
llnUhed leather strap , not quite one-half
iich wide nnd fastened by a most practical
silver buckle set with Imitation jewels , or
I better style still of plain polished metal
\nother new , pretty and useful trine that
ep. ] ) ° alij to femininity to the Januarj dijj of
oughs and sneeres Is a llttlo bonbonnlere

da'si It la made In the shape of an apple

rf > .id , "To the Fairest. " This small bax
joons to hold cither ointment for chapped
lips or useful troches , In case one's throat
tlck'es in church or the theater.
BLACK MUFFS.
Of the now black goods there Is only ono
Item of news to give , and that Is silk and
rather thin wool crcpon h-s somehow crept
back kite fashion. Why this lovely material
iv.-ua ever tossed aside it is hard to say ,
and It Is doubly welcome against the now
season's dressmaking. Just as highly , to
eluerly women , can be recommended the
brocaded bengallnes In black and gray that
are certainly not shopworn , because this
ombinatlon of becigal'me und satin was only
recently brought out In Paris.
Another pretty Pi.rlsian Idea we have just
get over Is that ot wearing black glace evenIng -
Ing gloves -worked with white silk In three
Lands about the wrist to resemble llttlo
thieadllko bracelets. All the handsome
walking gloves In brown , re-d or tan have
pearl or gilt buttons , Increasing , seemingly ,
every week In size. Only two , or three at
most , of the large , shining discs appear on
the glovea of heaviest we'ght , while four and
six-button suede gloves , for calling , are
fastened very prettily by large and perfectly
round polished prarls. In any ot the colors
In which the true oyster pearl Is found. Not
jet have broaJ stltchlngs on the bide been
received Into favor , and the finer the three
llttlo lines down the back of one's hand
covering the better Is the style signified.
A few women still cling to the white suede
or the heavier glace kid gloves for full
divas purposes , calling , receptions and the
like , and display rather effective white hand
gear , stitched and bound in cloir brown , or
green silk and leather , on the Ice and in the
skating rinks , as well us when sleighing , nice
and serviceable heavy gray castor gloves ,
with a short fur cuff , are adopted These
hive one largo metal button and the tuft
Is of seal or ermine or broadtail or chinchilla.
Now that the dresden chlua craze , that
wrought such havoc among the > umbrellas
ami sunshades , is passing away , wearo slowly
but decidedly moving Into a broad zone of
carved ivory handles , all ot a Japanese
nature. Already the expensive women , who
can afford to buy umbrellas afresh eveiy
season , are carrying about remarkable
novelties , long of handle , and every Inch
below the tip ot the Ivoiy-knobbcd ribs Is
most intricately and elaborately carved.
Some of the very pretty examples have just

The wisdom and unwisdom ot self-irpren-
slon Is carefully weighed by Mary E Bald
win , In a paper In the Woman's Home Coin
lunlon , wherein she contends that "a high-
pressure llfo calls for protective measures
snd the woman who engages mind and heart
In her purpose , even though she may not be
classed among public morKers , Instinctively
seeks her safetj-valves. These are peculiar to
her Individuality , and suit , as she Imagines ,
her needs ; but sometimes they are not al
together clioson wisely , and often are ovoi-
tised. The Intense nature with the greatest
need for letting off steam Is the ono who
will nuiko the mistake in this direction.
Action and reaction will be equal with her.
The home of such a woman Is often a1 place
where tragedy Is frequently enacted , 'ilor '
nervous system , wrought up to a point
{ .ordering upon frenzy , her mental and
ploslcal energies following Its lead , there
comes a moment when the strain must be
relieved or mind and body will give way
under the great weight.
"It Is not an easy thing1 to acquire thp
habit of withholding the worst from the
doirest friend , aud showing him only the
best ; but It Is possible when the heart Is
rliht and thei purpose has even a germ of
stiength. Ono bravo gentle woman , full
of the flre that would have early consumed
her hut for her wise ve of safety-valves ,
confided to a friend her experience in trying
to relieve the tension of mind and spirit
without giving dlscomfoit to those whom she
loved. Her piano became her abiding frienJ
whenever shu felt the need ot letting her
self down from a too highly strung con
dition. She played off her feeling and
gradually found herself calmed and rested
And there were times when a favorite port
offeied himself as guide Into the reilm of
restfnlness , nnrt ste-p by step led her on to
the heights where she found repose. The
woman with mental resources and with wise
discrimination will leain to choobo her
sifpty-valu's with reference to the comfort
and | > caip of the home , and will thus find a
gain In aclt-rcspect and In strength of will. "
