NKW YOIlK. April 21. It Is a long train
that has no curtailing and common PMC.
Comfort-loving women , who do not wlsih to
b conspicuously behind the style , are a.nx-
towly asking theirflt'.fcn where these fash
ionable rear extensions will come to a atop.
i The train of a smart cloth walking drcm
Hews two Inchon on the floor , whllo house
nd dinner konivs trail out from six Inches
( o three feet behind their wearers. The
proper train gathers no fulncw at the waist
line , bul U 80 skillfully cut that from six
Inches below the wulst Its amplitude begins
op about the placket hole Ita gathers are
pinched and clcac , .but . at the knees It bcglna
to flare and thence flown forth , broad and fan-
| lko , to the ground. Over- hips and front
rery dreaa nklrt i.ow flts with ehield-llkc
noolhncss , flaring so little below the knees
that the average petticoat seems to fit Its
wcare.as neatly as a silk casing docs an
umbrella.
Observation Justifies the statement that no
haircloth li used lii any train , but a coarse
tnuilin , as an Interlining , rurs from hem to
Slip and only In the back. Perhaps the most
crlous ph2ao of the train , though. Is that
It docs not nppsar to advantage when held
Jjlch and clear of street dust ami dirt. The
cut of the new skirt demands , that for the
akc of both dignity and grace , the. train be
lojt to flow unchecked , and even the most
ontute woman cannot support these rear
folrti In her liamls with becoming postures.
Vor this reason many of the tailors face the
( rains of walking suits with thin leather ,
for the depth of four or seven Inches , and ,
also , for this reason , Independent spirits nml
clean ! ; ' souls arc arrayed In fierce revolt
against the train abomination , as they not
unjustifiably term It.
SMART OIRDLBS.
So very few dress waists are inaclo to
fasten at thu bottom over their skirts that
the drc.mnakeia arc driven almost to their
wits' end to flnd original schemes for Lclt-
Ing In tCielr patrons.
Since sashes havu been dropped out and
foldoJ gltdles have fallen from their recent
iUgh estate , the only resource left la thu
leather , velvet pr ribbon straight bands.
Two dull gold turtles , cnamolod with Jew
el * , their necks stretched out and locked
la deadly combat. Is the sort of buckle or
nament and clasp affected on ribbon belts
by tbose wlio cau afford 'to adopt every
passing inoJc.
In the bliopB they ate selling ribbon by
' the jard , gros grained belting , most
smartly ficured In 'steel beads of spangles ,
and far mor decorative , costly nn.d attrac
tive arc the girdles of thlncstoUetHn -
Ished suede , that measure three Inches at
the back , taper to a fine point In fiont and
nro crossed nt short Intervals by narrow
Blldcs of Illlgroe silver meaning many small ,
bright stones. These girdles. In vehet ,
eutln and silk , with very lovely turquoise
and rhlnestone slides , ate adapted for wear
'
ilth the rklust evening toilet's , and their
especial charm Is the aspect of grateful
el 1m IK ss they lend to almost any figure
that 1 * within , bound ? . , ,
Vtry allm-waUtod Mmfyi nro going to
\tcar with their linen'skirts' end shirtwaists
heavy jsattn nnd 'light. kafher wa'is banila ,
nrarly four Inches deep nj ad laced up
Uh. allk strings or leather thongs In front
tfcat tbcy con 'be moldeS exactly to tha
forma they embrace.
An oJaity that th 'femlnlne eye lights
upon in the shops just now Is tec black
atl.i conct belt , to wear with airy organ
dies and dotted Swisses.Trie corset' makers
manufacture those nil boned and corded ,
clasping in front with threa llttlo gold
looks and laced behind anJ afresh every
time the belt Is put on. The silk laces run
through gold eyelets and , have bright gold
tags and tailors turn out , for wear with
the silk nnd cotton shirt waists they make ,
rene belts of black satin. Small double
points at front and back and the k'ltln
pinched Into close lingerie , tucks , go to form
the only raoJeralely broad belt that stout
Momen are not earnestly prayed to scorn
aid avoid.
When -none of these shaped belts are
Jolted , the woman In a quandary as to
how she can best hldo the junction of her
nklrt and waist belli , ought to wrap' round
her middle a wide black liberty satin ribbon
and tie In a single loop bow at the left side
and directly In the center of the back. The
rll/bon / folds should bo drawn out as much
es possible , and , with small , bright jeweled
brooches the ribbons' edges pinned as far
don n on the skirt and up on the waist a : ,
they will go.
COQUETTISH SHIRTS.
Shirt waists of the cotton persuasion arc
growing 'very CoquettUh Indeed , with their
yokes of embroidery , and into the field oC
cotton blouses haa come a new whtto shirt
waist made of all over embroidery. It I * ao-
oxceedlnsly picturesque and soul-satlsfjlng
garment on a white hot aummcr day , and
uuder It must bo worn a cache corset of
white linen or colored ) silk.
In all rerpects thl < latwt eoiqer Is made
qullo like any glngtum shirt , 'minus the very
priA-alent tucking. Some of them , It la true ,
how wide sailor collars of embroidery , under
'which. In front , knots a small , bright tlo of
aoft rllk. Stiff \\httc linen collars ant ] ruffs
arc made on to these shirts , but the front
button * are white woven bullets.
Thoio Is almost a sensation over the cotton ,
silk and percale shirts , with finished tails ,
that the tailors arc putting out as bait to
novelty seekers. This Is a direct Inducement
to wear the short and hitherto concealed tall
outside the drees belt , and Just how the
great foiulnino public will receive the Idea
is not yet known. lu scallops , points end
wedge-shaped tats , or full rutlles. the tails
are completed , and sllra-walstcd women un
deniably proflt by this pretty hip decoration.
SUJiaiER HATS.
Consider the hats of the season. Solomon
. would confcsa hU splendor outdone before
any one of them , and yet they are not all
cither complicated or over dlfllcult for
amateur Imitation. The first rule of good
millinery Is to buy o prettily colored straw
and the tints of the straws are as the
colors of Joseph's coat for variety.
There Is shbwu a growing tendency to
trim Individual hats within the limits of one
color. A yellow straw Is wreathed with
buttercups and yellow lace , while Its orna
mental pins are sot with amber. Masses of
heliotrope are lavished artistically with
violets and lllaea on a mauve frame , while
hyacinths , forgetmonota and turquolso pins
dorn a blue itupe. A suggestion for the
amateur hat trimmer U given ti a pretty
llttlo lilac shape adorned with a great hand
kerchief of lavender silk nwlln. edged about
Its four sides with violets sewed on close hut
Irregularly , item * and all the sterna was the
only contrasting tone In this chromatic scale
of pale purple * , and the ktrchlcf wag knotted
bout the hat's crown wl'h careless grace.
Another sweet green thing \\ea trimmed
with a few yards ofverdant taffeta ribbon ,
' edged with white vloloti , the maker ha I
'whipped on , and Instead of sewing the
decorations to the frame , this resourceful
amateur adjusted silk muslin and ribbon by
means of cheap little pearl-headed pint.
No demur of the faintest sort hid been
offered to the ahlrts of white libra and
nainsook having richly embroidered bosoms.
The botomj are aoft and full and fretted
wl'd most dellcato needlework , usutV.y In
a ssrlea of wreathj and vices. Not a touch
of color la Introduced In the figures , JeweleJ
butt oca are worn In the cuffs nod bosom
anl a bright taffeta stock takes the place of
a linen cpllar. These expensive dalntleo
of drefa are reg-irdtd AS eminently appro
priate for any morning occasion , oren for
a wedding In , summer and In the country.
LILY MAIDS.
A feature of the warm weather season
that promise * to be the meat prominent Is
the predominance everywhere of the whlto
costume. Tailors and drecttmakers , ahoe-
jniker * and milliners , all tell the same tale ,
u4 moreover aeauro the Inquirer Uitt many
ef their patron * , especially those at the
tebutanteh ge , bar * registered oternn
vons to wear only white the whole neaacn
through. This Is easily vouched for by the
sight of Innumerable whlto serge , sttln
cloth and poplin costumes , richly and elabo
rately designed , that Ifie needle women nre
busy completing : the whlto silk , lisle and
cotton Uoao In the i-hopa , the whlto duck ,
muslin , 1'aen ' end pique skirts made up by
the great grcea and the popularity cf white
\arnl hed leather tlca and white pique leg-
gins. Tti3 legglnn are to to worn with
whlto canvas tie. ? and white duck suits , In
the immaculate eci < < embls of the now bicycle
drees.
Or.o tailor orcn shown a very lovely snow
white habit for a fashionable young eques
trienne , for , tavlnj ; the gaudy rod Insepara
ble from the golf llnKaAhlte sulta are ,
moro th-m any others , adaptable this cum
mer to the putting greens. There la some
thing very coquettUh and undeniably effec
tive In thus abjuring all color cod adopting
one rule of dross , but only the young , who
are bright of eyes , froifa of skin and shiny
of hair , can bear the teat bravely , and It
aulrcu a stou * heart to sacrifice the be
coming colors of the season.-
BVENI.VQ TOILETS.
The pcacok Is a bird of but sad and sober
plumage beside the flashing color and daz
zling scintillations of fho woman Who Is
arrayed for a spring dance or dinner. Our
measure of delight In spangles Is .not yet
full , so that , excepting the white gowns
treated with bVack lace appliques , or those
of black treated with white , a majority of
eight out of ten evening toilets are span
gled from the to nhouldor straps. The small
Hat sequin Is not asy longer the only kind
used , for the newest'are Ting and oval span
gles , worked'In with the disk In most com
plicated rutterns , and just now the"1 whole
effort Is after Japanese designs.
A black net petticoat , showing a cycle
moan on the front breadth , toward which ,
from all parts of the duaky slkrt , black
and silver bats are flying , Is almost a con
ventional pattern , EO remarkable are some
of those we see.
Ono adorable white tulle creation was ,
for example , most wonderously worked , in
all Its mlstllke labyrinth of fullness , with
twinkling schools of bright llttlo flsh , flashIng -
Ing blue , gold , silver and green In the gas
light. Not leca remarkable and'alluring
was a toilet of turquoise blue gauze. In the
lower left-hand side of which , in front of
the skir { , "ow a b'r(1 ' of gorgeous metallic
"blue palettes. The 'remainder of the petti
coat was.Illuminated with gold and black
arrows .shot through the mesh of the drap
ery In showers toward , the glittering fowl.
With such skirts as these similarly span
gled or flower-draped bodies arc worn. The
last mentioned Is the latest' arrival at the
court of fashion. A fldwer body IB first
built up from a close decolleto basque of
satin that hooks together at the back. Over
this net Is draped and on the net flowers arc
sewed. Small flowers and fine leaved vines
sucfh as violets , forgetmenots , speejwell ,
hyacinth bells , heath , etc. , are adapted to
this purpose. To the aklrti. chiefly In black
and white , the flowers give a dellcato and
grateful tone of color.
With such suits as we have dwelt upon t ,
long gloves are worn In rarest tints of
mauve anil pear ) pink , sky gray and tour
maline green. At the tops of the long arm
bugs there Is now a pretty fancy for gath
ering full Pierrot frills , an inch or two
deep , of whlto tulle and specking them with
spangles. Hut the tangent to which sleeves
have momentarily run , Is that of wearing
a spangled lace arm bag , extending from
the wrist to within about thrco or four
Incheu of the shoulder fitted straps attach
these to the shoulder and short gloves are
noccisailly worn.
ILLUSTRATED STYLES.
For Illustrations of tiicse truths about evenIng -
Ing gown readers can scan the accompanying
ekotch of three evening toilets. They ore
replete with Information for the seeker after
knowledge an various points. Their trains
are long and that one giving a elde view Is a
soft mauve net over heliotrope satin. In
gold tpangles on the mauve aklrt a great
sunburst Is spread , Ita wrinkled raya flashing
to all parts of the petticoat. The bodice Is
of mauve cet fairly well covered with tratU
of arbutua.
The gown , of which a front view Is given.
Illustrates an application of white lace on
blick ellk muelln. Here and there black
spangjre are sprinkled on tbe skirt and
nalit , but are thickly strewn on the glove
sleeves of black. A girdle of black satin
deep behind , narrow In front nd creased
with many rhlncatone slides , leads bril
liancy to this study In black and white.
The rear view of a black tulle costume ,
brightened with black palttea. la given in
the third figure. The bodice 1s dtjtiugulihed
by an Introduction of roae-colored chiffon
about the top , while over one shoulder
pusea a fitted strap , over the other a cfaower
of pink rcaes.
A summer ball wrap U worn by the single
figure tfiU week. A Parisian creation thl/s ,
with Its vast , majestic collar of black
ostrich plumes and ttiowere of pllsjed gold-
colored chiffon falling out from between
polata of black plutnca , that fall like the
icantle of a ftlry prlnc.es * { o th very knee.
One little girl. In the children's group ,
wears on tbU occasion , over her gingham
frock , a plaited coat of pale gray cub mere.
Ibi very-simplicity should recommend It to
mothers , for ta belt to of white leather and

off and wanned , Is of wtilte plquo. The older i f

A Woninii t.nvrrrr Klultt * ti
of Poor 'Men ' nnd Women.
A. young woman who stands In peculiar
relation to the New York poor , and Is a
subtly helpful Influence In the ghetto and
Its vast Gorman and Italian contingent , Is
Miss Rosalie Loew , acting assistant attor
ney of the 'Legal ' Aid society.
There are deaconesses and missionaries ,
trained nurses and Red Cross disciples ,
working dally In this vortex of humanity ,
SUMMER EVENING TOILETS.
but no one of them or the charities they i
reprcsc-.it can give just the help that the
deputy of the Legal lAld association la em
powered to offer. Spiritual and' physical
needs the organized charities care for with
out stint , but the hurts of Injustice , hurts
that rankle deep and embitter the .victims
against the verj land that harbors them , are
of another sort ; these are soothed and'set
right bj > the society that gives to the penni
less man a competent lawyer to fight qls
claims for him , without money and without
price.
Go to the Legal 'Aid rooms when you wjll
and the benches are lined with applicants
bearing more or less sign of need and hard
ship , waiting for one or the other of the
attorneys to see thorn. From ,8 o'clock la
'the morning until 6 at night , on days thatr
she does not go to court , the young Jewish
girl listens to the plaints and grievances
of clients.
An official ki the outer office has previously
sounded the measure of affront or wrong
and has sifted tbe applicants requiring actual
appeal to the courti from those whose
claims allow of settling .without recourse to
law. So each one of tbe women and men
who confer with the slender , dark-eyed
couoselor are in actual need of legal Inter
ference , t
A woman's husband has failed to support
her. baa perhaps cast her. aside and taken
another wife , leaving her to care for his four
or five children as best she may. It Is more
than likely that the woman tells this story
In a foreign tongue- and , that her features
declare Jewish origin. The client before her
spcie In German , yet another In the mixed
Hebrew-Russian-Yiddish that would puzzle
an expert linguist , but whatever tbe tongue
and tenor of the trouble , however garbled
and obscure , the young attorney goes straight
to the bottom of It and fishes up tbe facts
most pertinent , and the very points , per
haps , that the client would have made clear
before , had she known how , but ignorance
and embarrassment together are a bar to
lucid expression.
It Is justhi thl * particular that the
woman's tact and Intuition lupplied by Mlas
Loow hagbeen , for three years , such a boon
to the legal aid work. It takes patience and
peculiar sympathy to unravel the thread of
an applicant's story that has got looped and
caught In "Os" and "Aha , " and evidences of
emotion. The assistant attorney has both
attributes In a marked degree , and her chief.
Mr. Carl Schorr ; ! delegates to her many
Iteli * that would wear out a mere man's
capacity In that dtrcctlon.
THE JEWISH OHET.
According to the old iMoealc tenets ft man
may nut away his- wife , oho having no say
In the matter ta merely handing to her the
"ghet , " with proper ceremony before a rabbi.
This "shot" H1 written ( n the presence of
the rabbi wltlr'Kfltlng materials owned by
the husband , linn
After this simple divorce proceeding the
man Is at liberty to wr-d again. According
to the American law thl rabbi's "ghet"
dc < o not sanc'tloh' ' remarriage , but some of
the Jiusbandfl arid r'abbls alike are acquainted
only -with the-orthodox teachings and tenets
and are utterly Ignorant of American dic
tates and penalties. Numerous east sldo
wives boar the brunt of this unfortunate
misunderstanding of rights , and the legal
aid , In all cases , adjusts their Injuries , and ,
where reconciliation with the husband la
futile. t-ces to It that that false- and flcklo
Individual pays a certain stipend per week ,
In proportion to his means , for the support
cf hU rightful wlfo and children.
It fal'u out often Hut for other reanone
than the husband's desire for a new spouse
the Esst aide wife la unhappy. Among tha
peer and humble In etatlon woman's rights
are s 111 mainly In 'abeyance , wife beating Use
so common as to excite scant comment , and
the huiibaml u ia his tacit prerogative to the
fullest , hiding the children away from the
mother. It hoscey flt to do eo , and making
her life Intolerable In other wuyp. Until
the Legal 'Aid society wan Instituted the
wronged women atood things aa 'best ' they
could , but now numbers of thorn appeal for
remedy , and to none la a deaf ear turned.
Miss Loew sees them all.
"It doea mo good to help them , " uhe eald ,
In speaking of her work. "I get Interested
dally In securing wages Illegally withheld
and In righting other outrages for my clients ,
but -these casea that we call our 'family ,
troubles' appeal to mo particularly.
"I feel very tender toward my outraged
wives , and although I know that their Ig
norance and perhaips oveMiasty temper may
have brought on the worst that happened ,
MISS ROSALIE LOEW.
ntlll thclra to the -most onerous part to bear
and < they have my sympathy.
"That woman who just went /out , the
young woman with the pathetic face , she has
not aeen her children for months. Her
husband and his mother have quarreled with
her , turned her adrift and secreted the
children , the youngest'an ' infant , somewhere
where she can't either ee or hear of them.
She is Ignorant , with IKtle ability to tell
her story clearly , but It la plain to mo that
she has been much put upon by a heartless
husband , and I nhall take delight In bring
ing him to justice.
A FRIEND IN NKED.
Miss Loew pens ( ! a good deal of her tlmo
In court , and Mr. llucseei , the able counselor ,
who Is the president of the society , eppaks
In high term * of her efficiency as on advo
cate. Rrsldea her relations to the appli
cants , the young lawyer Is appealed to on all
aides concerning matters apart from her
calthix. She Is mentor eod gutdo combined1
to a large constituency. < ind men and women ,
ytara tier eanlor , consult her In emergency.
Not long ago she received a money order
for $11.75 from a Pennsylvania pcatomce , tot.
lowed u-p by a' letter from a former client
stating that thta sum represented his aavlnta
and ho hoped she would keep It for hint
un'll called for. He was a Gorman laborer
whom the society had served. He h-Jd since
got work In the country and couMthink of
no tetter friend to trust with hla little- all
then the young woman attorney who had
taken hl < ( rart against an oppressor. A creh
boy th ? other 'day sent Mlsa Loew 45 cents ,
an Installment of the sum she bad loaned
him when In need. He was the non of a
widow whose wrcngo the aid society re-
drcfaed.
The M Instrncea are only a slight manifest
of dally experience at the Legal Aid rooms ,
nhcro tfio younj Jewess , with her bright ,
quick moveim-nta and winning personality ,
U a much-prized coadjutant. She Is long-
head-eil and cool-headed to a degree unusual
In a girl of 25 , and , with all her sympa
thetic Intuition and cordlalltr of manner ,
she wastes neither time nor words In set
tling her "family troubled , " as she calls
tfietn.

America.
In answer to the questions , "What would

"Well , they would nurse the sick ni

always do that the first thing. Some of the

Mrs. Helen Hardlo Walworth , one ot the
( founders and leaders of the Daughters ot
the American Revolution , whose wisdom and
practical common aense have made bar for
years one of the country's foremost women ,
was enthusiastic on the subject of tbo
"daughters' " doings In war times.
"It Is likely , " she declared , "that tb

by the chapters throughout the United State *
There are now about 25,000 representative
daughetri , and with their concerted and sys
tematized efforts an almost Incalculable
amount of work of all kinds can be accom
plished. It Is not that the daughters re
signally different from other American
women , but they are splendidly organized ,
can strike at once , end co-operate on all
Ides.
