Tho drcsson wo bco on tho street and In our friends' drawing roomM nro mill very conservative. Wo hear wonders about tho draped over drcrss and tho long-tnllcd basrjup, but they nro not yet nll-conqucrlm; nnd nll-pcrvnd-lng ns nro tindcrsleevcs and strangely shaped Ktons. What tin Hton can bo when It tries la shown In n very cxprcsslvo sketch of n braided cxnmplo worn over n laco nnd A FAWN-COLOUED l'ASTEL CLOTH WITH HANDS OF I'EllSIAN EMDKOID EKY. crrpo du chlno body. This Is n pastel blue Eton with a Hat Russian laco braid laid upon It and all tho edges of tho braid aro chain-stitched down with heavy gold thread. Of courso this produces n very rich und brilliant effect that Is cast well Into relief against n black crepo waist spaced with bnmls of laco braid and gilt thread. Tho Eton Itself Is of ns quaint and curious cut ns tho cuirass of nn Amazon queen. Hut then tho wholo tendency in dress Is slightly revolutionary. Indoor skirts nro so long In front they must bo lifted beforo their wearers can make one stop. Numbers of houso dresses pro cut cruelly Hat In tho neck nnd nil tho whllo street dresses aro raising tho dust with their absurdly elongated back breadths. A Cantlr Conceit. Cast an eye, for example, on tho plcturo of tho gull gray gown that seems to bS nwo and Interest tho little tot before It. All the back of Its skirt Is pinched Into tucks that aro mndo fast with conspicuous stitching of lemon yellow allk. There 11 ro rows of this stitching about tho bot tom of tho skirt and tho smart tails of tho smart coat. In front tho coat Is Judiciously treated with straps and rovor facings of vlolot panno nnd tho wholo opens sweetly on a front of tumultuous, crisp silk muslin ruffles of tho palest shade of yellow. Ono whiff of dust, ono dash of snow and this charming costumo Is ruined. Novcrtholess, pastel goods aro unrlvnled so far nnd tho gowns they mako nro charm- I lng beyond compare. An tnntanco of this Is given In tho pretty fawn brown ault of : cloth that la us rich nnd smooth us satin. Tho only relief afforded Its nlmplo lines Is given by tho bands of Greek key pat tern embroidery dono in Persian colors nnd gold thread. Tho soft front of tho widely collared wnlst and tho puffs of tho under sIcovcb nro of pearl pink Liberty silk worked with dots of black chcnlllo and bands of the needlework that garnishes tho skirt. From the gracefully Impractical to tho equally pleasing practical gowns is Just a short step. Two simple, but well planned street costumes aro given In a group to show how It Is done. Doth of theso dresses nro made of what tho Parisian dressmaker calls fantnsln cloths. Tho first Is n fine sandstone red camera hair, undershot with black in tho woof and Its own skirt nnd that of the companion dress show how closely these garments nro cut about tho hips nnd how flaring nt tho foot. Tho red and black eamcl'a hair hears a band of smooth red broadcloth stitched on with b'n;k silk ton Inches abovo tho foot nnd a band of tho same similarly stitched binds off tho edges of tho Eton Jacket. This Eton Is provided with a storm collar of lino astrakhan nnd opens squnroly ovor tho wnlst lino to reveal a waistcoat of black nntlquo satin. All-wool poplin, heavily corded, Is tho material of tho second suit nnd this ma terial, thoso supposedly of pure wool, holds enough Bilk In Itu woof to glvo It tho po cullar nnd nttractlvo Hhltio thai nil good Irish poplins should show. Tea greeu Is tho color of tho goods, affording a sym pnthotlo background for tho vest nnd front panel of n heavy ecru Imitation of Irish point lace. Tho laco Is laid over silk of a warm cream touo nnd black silk chenille ( la threaded In Its edges on the eklrt and utilized to nlvo nn effect of abort strnns on tho waist.

It Is n rovlvnl of nn eighteenth century fashion, this uso of a small Jeweled hand mirror that Is worn ns n chatelaine orna ment. In tho good old dayn of powder, and patches, nnd wigs, nnd rouge, n mirror nt hand was n necessity. Tho troublesome wnr paint often needed n touch of repairs, which, In thn frank days of Queen Anno, was nlways unblushlngly supplied. In this virtuous twcntloth century tho tiny mir rors nro worn only for ornament, so tholr owners say, and very pretty ornaments they nre. Thero is no limit to tho price ono can pay for ono of theso llttlo "eyes of truth," for they nro most exquisitely cnnraoled, set with soml-prcclous stones nnd mado of gold, silver, Ivory, gun metal and gold, or hnvo tortolso shell backs, on which, In gold, n floral pattern, or the proprietor's Initials, nro dellcntoly wrought. Tho finest nrt of tho French goldsmith Is lnvlshod on tho frameworks of many mirrors, nnd a small chain and hook nt tho end of tho handio makes tho trlflo fast at tho belt of Its wearer. For tho Christmas trado chatolnlno mir rors of not slight artistic nnd Intrinsic merit woro framed In bits of old brocado nnd bullion braid, nnd somo of thoBO most closely copied after tho eighteenth con tury models have Blldlng backs, Into which court-plaster cnu bo slipped.

Tho necklet must never bo moro than n slender gold chain, clnsplng the bnBo of tho throat, and from which a perfect llttlo ornament must hang. .It Is tho preforenco Just now to havo theso ornaments show few precious stones.

Women Know How In the Mining DU trlctn oC the I'nr Went, A group of women were discussing tholr various preferences as to allopathic nnd homeopathic remedies nnd treatment, when ono of tho numbor remarked that she hid a good deal of faith in tho old-fashioned, homo-mndo onion poultice. Tho speaker was known to bo the wlfo of n young Englishman of aristocratic family, but who had sufforcd reverses of fortune Ho came to America nnd for a ttlmo ho and his wlfo ran n miners' board lng houso In Colorado.

They were fifty miles from the nearest railway station nnd 100 miles from tho nearest doctor. Their vocation and environment wcro novel for people brought up In a Ilfo of lelsuro nnd luxury. Ono day tho young boarding mistress foil very 111. To send 100 miles for n doctor scomod n great undertaking, aside from tho delay nnd expense. So a messenger on horseback was sent In hasto for tho near est woman neighbor, ten miles off. And nt last tho sufforcr, looking from her window, caught an Interesting glimpse of an old ,,mB,,IK lu"lc'' one was np horseback, clothed lu a loose calico wrap per, sitting nstrldo tho horse, her spec taelcs bobbing on her nose at every gallop, nnd her gray hair flying In tho wind.

Hut tho onion poultlco proved effective nnd the elderly benefactress sot off onco moro on horseback to attend to her own household duties. Tho young Englishman was successful In tho west nnd ho nnd !il' wlfo now have abundant means. Hut tho former boarding mistress has not forgotten tho picture of tho old woman (lying to 'nor on horseback, or tho virtue? of that onion poultice. snopiMxa in i'auis.

Lilian Hell gives tho result of her shop- ping experiences abroad In tho January Wo man's Homo Companion In an Interesting THHEE PRETTY paper entitled "Shopping In tho Great Cities of Europe." Of l'arls, tho most dollghtful of all cities for tho women who would buy, sho says: "I consider shopping In Paris ono of tho greatest pleasures to bo found In this valo of tears.

For example, It Is possible to buy u lofty ormlno colla,r, showing flaring points of turquoise-blue velvet, which points nre brightened with gold galoon. About tho bottom edge of this snma collar several rows of narrow gold braid are worked deeply Into the fur nnd complete their mis sion In front by forming u cluster of bright loops and cuds, tho latter having gold knots of ferrets for n finish.
