FASHKDN LETTER.
in protest
A voice has been raised
against the Paquin skirt.
A letter has just reached me one of
those caustic, complimentary effusions,
you know, which only a woman can
write.
This particular feminine correspond
ent, while dwelling at length on the
Modish family, and while declariog fer
vently her faith in the Modish edicts
concerning modes, that is remonstrates
earnestly against the promulgation of
such a mistaken verdict bb was issued in
the Modish letter a week or so ago.
"Paquin skirts not to be worn! Where
are the Modish eyes? Haven't they
seen Mrs. 'Ollie' Iselin's gown of green
cloth Haven't they eeen Mrs. Corne
lius Vanderbilt's gowu of flamingo red?
Artn't their skirts cut as wide at the
top as they are at the bottom, and aren't
there others equally as prominent in
the glass of fashion who have been seen
in raiments cut on these same lines?
The very idea that the Paquin skirt will
not prevail is nonsense !"
Now, I like the enthusiasm of my
unknown correspondent. She is un
doubtedly tall and thin and willowy. I
can see her wearing a Paquin skirt as
she writes.
The evidence of people having the"
courage of their convictions is always
charming.
My writing friend has been a bit hasty,
however.
She had better read more carefully
what really was said about the Paquin
skirt.
It was never stated that the Paquin
skirt had not been and would not be
adopted by the few; for that it has been
always. What was said was that it was
so suited to the mutable many that it
would never become an established
fashion that ie generally worn.
If my captiouB friend will glance back
at the Modish view of things last week,
she will see that it was distinctly btated,
beyond any question of a doubt, that
pleats in various kinds and forms would
be a marked feature in the new season's
skirts.
Only to notice the slinkiness and dia
phaneous nature of the new material
would make anyone positive of this,
without waiting for the confirmation to
ba given by.-the French models, which
are now on their way.
This same lady, by the way, while
questioning the authority of the Modish
statements, closes her effusion by ask
ing me to please Bay what will be the
smartest substitute for mohair gowns
this coming season.
As this smart and serviceable fabric
seems to have palled on the fickle fan
cies of the Modish clans, one can scarce
ly be sure of anything that is sartorial.
Its vogue was, seemingly being assured
forever, but they tell me that crepe de
China of some weight and satin finish
will take its place. There is also a new
satin finish cloth of light weight which
should be much worn, as it is an excep
tionally graceful and becoming fabric.
Apropos of that flamirgo red gown of
Mrs. Cornelius Yanderbilt, which was
so violently flung in the Modish face, it
is certainly smart enough to warrant its
being described.
It is of the new satin-finish cloth.
The Bkirt, as we already know, is "cut
as wide at the top as it is at the
bottom."
The bodice has a bolero outlined with
fine black and gold embroidery. The
belt is a soft crush affair of red, veiled
with bronze chiffon. The sleeves are
tight fitting to the elbow, fastened with
a puff of the chiffon. A fiat toque of
roses, from deepest flamingo to palest
pink, is worn with this costume. This
combination of the bronze chiffon with
the red is very new and smart.
Mrs. Vanderbilt has a long paletot of
sealskin which she wears with this
gown. It Is one of the smartest of all
the fur garments I have seen tbis sea
sona long, loose affair that reaches to
the hem of her gown: The collar is a
bit high and flaring, outlined with a
touch of red and a galloon of KuBsian
gold and black.
The latest hat to be uncased Is an al
most accurate reproduction of the hat
the "Father of Our country" wore.
After everything being modeled on
l'Aiglon lines, it is encouraging that our
George can still influence the fashions!
This hat is made in various kinds of
straw, but is best in black horsehair,
with the rim bound with a narrow line
of velvet. Its severity is relieved by a
sweeping white plume, thit is placed on
the right side. It is to be commended
as being graceful and becoming, aud let
us hope that it will be spared the curse
of over-popularity, which has afflicted
several of the best models.
Really, the limiutions in the millinery
world are extraordinary.
It seems absurd that only half a dozen
models a season can be Been on every
other modish woman's bead.
A great deal has been said and writ
ten lately about the necessity of origin
ality in the designing of women's gowns
and studying closely their individuality
and.all that.
Theameithiog might well be.said in
the millinery line, for there originality
seems absolutely wanting.
A very smart semi saison fad is that
of carrying muffs made of net and chif
fon, or flowers and feathers, a fad which
incidentally, be it observed, owe its
origin to the American stage.
It is now, however, a fixed fashion of
infinite comfort to women, as it disposes
gracefully of the popoeition as what to
do with one's hands, as well as the
thousand and one feminine accessories
that every smart woman Beems to think
she must carry. Lady Modish, in Town
Topics.
KING EDWARD VIL
He looked a king yes, every inch a
king; and today his subjects ate looking
forward with expectant hope to Bee bim
display on the great field on which he
has a right to pre-eminent domain.
Many of the associates of the Prince of
Wales will laugh to scornthe idea'that
their old companion of the former days
should be capable of blossoming out in
one year into a serious sovereign. Those
who writ him down after his seeming
questioned whether he were capable of
the high mission of playing the great
role in the governance of his realm
which had been bo long filled by his
mother. Those, however, who enjoyed
his intimacy maintained that there was
nothing that he would like better than
to essay bis powers in this new field.
He had cast wistful and envious eyes at
the opportunities enjoyed by others who
long before they had attained their
sixtieth year were vested with all the
panoply of sovereignty. Many years ago
the Prince commented somewhat plain
tively upon the difference between him
and his nephew, the Kaiser. "Look at
my nephew," he said. "He is but a
youth; he is the center of everything,
orders everything, directs everything, is
everything; whereas, I am not allowed
to do anything at all."
Whatever republicans may think of
the abstract superiority of that form of
government, no one can deny the enor
mous advantage or having national
unity and imperial responsibilities em
bodied in a person who has been care
fully trained for that position from the
cradle, and who in attaining it has not
been compelled to make intense political
enemies of one half of the nation. To
have created a center of equilibrium in
the midst of all the forces which surge
and sway hither and thither in the tur-
11
moil and strain of modern life, to have
made this center a sourcoof information
and a symbol of all domination, to have
secured it at once from the strife of
tongues and the conflicts or parties,
without at the same time ondangering
the liberties of the subjects or the su
premacy of law this, indeed, has been
one of the most signal achievements of
the English-speaking race.
With his accession to the throne, Al
bert Edward seemed to have disap
peared. In his place there stood Ed
ward VII., not weighted down, but
rather inspired and lifted up, by a con
sciousness of his sovereignty.
The unthinking may deride the pos
sibility of such a sudden transformation,
and may ridicule the idea that an event
so natural and inevitable as the death
of an old lady could have changed the
outward appearance and infused a new
spirit into the body of her son. But
those who remember the immense tra
dition which surrounds and to some ex
tent glorifies the English throne will
see nothing improbable or unnatural in
the effect which this event produced
upon the latest of our sovereigns.
Snakspere in a famous scene has de
scribed a mors miraculous transform
ation, which was effected when the
death of King Henry IV. made Madcap
Hal one of the soberest and moat reso
lute of English monarchs. The con
sciousness of his inheritance, the sub
tle but potent influence of his monarch
ial succession, compared with which ths
influence of apostolical succession upon
the clergy is but a trifle light as air,
would suffice to explain the change.
Twenty-four hours before, the Prince
had been a cipher in the state. He was
heir apparent, no doubt, but he was
outside the machine, a master of cere
monies, a leader of society. The con
secrating touch of supreme responsibil
ity had never been laid upon his head.
When the Queen breathed her last, the
demise of the crown to quote the old
phrase made him actual sovereign of
the world-wide empire of Britain. Ha
stepped in one moment from the outer
court of the tabernacle to the very ar
canum of the constitution. To others
it may seem a mere figure of speech to
speak of the army and the navy as be
coming bis army and his navy; but to
the Prince it is a very real thing.
It is impossible for the son of Victoria
not to take his sovereignty seriously.
It is the fashion, or rather it was the
fashion in some quarters, to treat the
position of the sovereign in a constitu
tional state as being little more than
that of a figurehead of the civil state.
The Queen, however, never for a mo
ment entertained such a conception of
her royal duties; andher successor, from
the very fact that he had been so long
jealously excluded from all share in the
discharge of the duties of the crown,
might naturally regard them even more
seriously than the reigning sovereign.
Distance lends enchantment to thn view;
ard it is no paradox to Bay that during
all the sixty years of his life the Prince
has had nothing but a very distant view
of the actual exercise of sovereign pow
er. Wisely or unwisely, Queen Victoria
was of an excessively jealous disposition
in all that related to the crown. So far
from making the Prince an under study
and preparing him to take her place
whenever she might be invalided or in
disposed, she rigorously restricted him
to the performance of ceremonial func
tions. He was never her confidential
advisor on affairs of state. His one
duty, from a political point of view, in
the eyes of his august mother, was to
efface himself, to abstain religiously
from the expression of any opinion upon
public affairs. The Prince was not
merely a loyal subject to the Queen; he
was brought up to honor and obey his
mother, and his filial effection was never
devoid of a certain element of fear. But
