A keen, unerring Ecose of time and place, in other words, of appropriateness in matters of costume, is more than half the bat'.le which a fashionable wo man is called upon to wage in her own behalf against the forces of dowdinesB and bad taste. It is claimed, as a matter beyond dis pute, that circumstances, rather than individuals, create the fashions which the big round world accepts with hard ly a comment. The qui k-witted French woman is never at a loss as to what the circumstances require, and that matter once settled, her keen eye for color and her delt lingers do tho rest. Hence, the Parisian creations are the daintiest and mast tasteful in the world, while amjr g Parisians Doucet easily leads all the rest in originality and cleverness at the present time. A woman's wardrobe is not fully complete without a street morning cos tume. Owing to the increasing athletic tendencies of our sex in these dajs, fashions for outioDr wear are greatly influenced thereby, and even the dainty French, with all their love of frills and furbelows, lace and gewgaws, have con ceded the point that for the morning and le sport the tailor gown is the cor rect ccper. Golf and the bicycle have definitely established the supremacy of these plain tailor Euits, and they have become an essential part of the wardrobe of every woman who aspires to be considered well dressed upon air occasions. True, some of the tailor gowns made this win ter are more elaborated than those of which I have spoken, being trimmed with velvet, gimps, braids, fur and passementerie, and such gowns would be permissible for afternoon wear for visiting, church, or even receptions. Fashion, however, now decrees that the reception gowns, as such, shall be very elaborate, and I had the good fortune to be shown one of these recently imported for the use of an acknowledged leader in society. Skirt of black velvet, the bottom trimmed with a piping of black satin, and this piping faced with orange velvet; the waist of bright orange velvet with stripes not, indeed, unlike sus pender of black velvet on either side, frilled with narrow white lace. The sleeves weie long and covered the hand well, with frills of white lace peeping from beneath the cuff. The bonnet was a Gainsborough in black velvet, with orange plumes galore. The wearer of this singularly striking costume was the observed of all observers, and I may add that orange bids fair to be one of the reigning favorites in color combinations. Another reception gown was of drab cloth, the skirt rounded at the bottom and made like a fourreau, very tight in front and at the sides, fitting well over the hips; the godets, starting behind the hips, are thrown very far to the back. There are three hoop3 of sable fur, two and a half inches apart, one above the other, commencing at the knees. The cloth bolero is plain on the right side and embroidered in black silk dots on the left side. The back is tight and eeamless. the sleeves moderately small and plain. The drab felt hat which came with this costume was elaborately trimmed with hoops of black velvet and black plumes. The Model Restaurant is an excellent place for family board. It is also er cellently situated for persons spending a day in tho city. Ladies while shopping can And no better place for luncheon. Meals 15 cents, Sunday dinner 25 cents.
