FASHION LETTER.
The growing extravagance of the age
is appalling. If fabrics continue to
increase in beauty of design and tex
ture, not to say anything of price, as
they have in the last ten years, they will
become practically impracticable. The
brocade, satins and velvets of today
vie with those of the Louis XIV., Louis
XV. and Marie Antoinette periods. The
greater quantity of fabrics called for by
the present era of extravagance nrn-
cluded the possibility of attaining the
perfection or those days. A woman of
fashion in the time of ie Roi Soleil"
counted herself wonderfully well set up
if she were the possessor of two or three
costumes of the rich stuffs, manufac
tured for the wealthiest and highest in
the land. A woman of fashion today is
not content urless her wardrobe holds
at least a dozen such costumes. This
growing extravagance is not restricted
to the wealthy class, but is becoming bo
general that even a Modish is filled with
apprehension at the present condition of
things. As I write, fashion is still un
revealed, but a peep behind the veil
which obscures the "holy of holies' en
ables me to put forth a few predictions
of what will most lively be the promi
nent features for the earning season. It
is eafe to say that there will bo few
radical changes. I have always said,
from a Modish point of view, that the
days of radical changes are past.
Individuality in every branch of toilet
ib asserting itself. One might better be
dead than one of a crowd. The woman
who is not known by some individual
characteristic is out of the race en
tirely. One of the best of the latest
French gowns that I have seen was
brought over by a very chic woman.
Despite the protests from the-Paquin-itee,
it is perfectly tight fitting around
the hips. Around the bottom it has
five or six deep slashes, and under these
slashes appear a succession of narrow
circular ruffles. The gown is in pink
cloth. The ruffles are lined with a paler
shade of pink, and with every movement
of the wearer gives out the appearance
of rose petals. There is scarcely any
doubt in my mind that ruffles and
flounces will play a very important part
in the spring and summer fashions. The
present outline of skirt, which is close
fit tine to the knees and then full and
flaring, will continue, only in less exag
gerated form. A distinctive feature of
the new gowns is the Persian trimmings.
These will play as prominent a part in
the spring fashions as gold has in the
winter confections. We shall probably
tire of it soon, and it will lose its vogue
among the Modish. This fickle fancy of
the smart woman is a worderful incent
ive to the originator of new fads.
A gown worn by the Duchess of Man
chester, during her short stay in town
last week, deserves notice, as it carries
out my statement of the increased vozue
of black and white confections. It was
of black chiffon, mounted over white.
The skirt was made of an infinite num.
ber of narrow, hand-run, perpendicular
tucks. These tuckB finished about
twelve inches above the bottom of the
skirt, and from there flared considerably.
It was finished around the edges with
narrow black lace. The bodice was of
perpendicular tucks. The yoke, of hor
izontal tucks, was given a square effect
by reason of the perpendicular tucks
being continued over the shoulders. The
sleeves were tight fitting. The cap was
of perpendicular tucks. A cluster of
horizontal tucks at the shoulder line
gave a cape effect. From there to the
elbow were more perpendicular tucks,
which met a cluster of horizontal tuckB.
and the sleeve, from the elbow to the
wrist, showed the perpendicular tucks
a .tain. The costume was very smart,
and in the usual good taste so far die-
played by Her Grace, who is always very
quietly gowned. She has apparently
escaped the present craze of jewels. It
the Ducbeasot Manchester does not
caro for jewels, the same can not be
said of another American woman who
has married an Englishmou.
Mrs. Paget has become famous this
winter for her jewels and the beauty of
their Betting. Her diamond chain is
quite the smartest thing that has been
seen this Bnason. Formed of diamonds
of smallest size, at intervals of every
two or three inches or so their brilliancy
is punctured by stones of considerable
size. The vogue of wearing several
chains together, of which I spoke some
weeks ago, is on the increase. Chains
of pearls and diamonds are now worn
together, as well as chains of (precious
stones of contrasting colors. These
chains are seen in the daytime at the
fashionable restaurants. It is not long
ago that it was considered bad tasto to
wear jewels by daylight, and especially
outside the sanctum of one's .own home.
Mrs. Joseph Stickney wears with her
luncheon gown some very stunning
chains of diamonds and turquoises.
Women who have adopted the fad of
wearing these contrasting chains in the
daytime wear them with simple black or
white bodices, which, being unobstru
sive, form a stunning background for
the vari-colored stones, Highly colored
gowns such as some women have been
wearing this season, spoils the modish
effect of the chains. In fact, they
verge on the vulgar and should be es
chewed by women of theiModish clan.
The pretty fashion of.weariLg aftruffj of
tulle with one's dinner gown, when dir
ing in public places, introduced this
winter by Mrs. Clarence Mackay, is gain,
iog ground. It has been adopted by
Mrs. Cooper Hewitt and other smatt
women, and is very becoming. It gives
a very decidedly picturesque touch to a
conventional ensemble. Lady Modish,

SALAD DRESSING.
No, dear readers, it isn't the pass bo
much as it is the principle of the thing,
you know.
The Prairie City News says "The
little dog that was shot in the west end
is recovering.
Oh, tell me, ye winds, if ye can,
Which is the west end of a dog?
For when to directions I come
I'm as dumb as a post in a fog.
Is the west end the end with thelbite ?
Oh, tell me and do not fail ;
Or is it the end the dog wags,
Where is fastened his good-natured tail?
"I think the new spring style of hats
for men simply knocks the presents off
the Christmas tree," said thejdiot as
he stuck his gum behind his ear for safe
keeping. They look just exactly like a
big pie tin with flat loaves of bread
stuck on them."
Binkins I say, old man, did you
hear about Sniggers burying himself
alive?
Bimkins No. How's that?
Binkins Why, he started a grocery
store on Pierce street and didn't
advertise.
"Another fool fashion that is now in
vogue," said the idiot as he bit off a
finger nail, "is that of the bunch of long
shoe strings the women wear fastened to
their belts. They look bummy to me
and are as useless as shoes to a legless
man."
The iron is never completely driven
into a man's soul until the bald spot be
gins to show under his hat in the back.
The little pools reflect dimly the
boundless sky and so each human soul
gives back a little hint of the infinite.
First Microbe Where've you been?
You look as fresh as a daisy.
Second Microbe I've been out for an
airing. The missus hung her skirt on
the line today and I got a little fresh
air. Dunroy, in Sioux City TriDune.

THE INAUGURATION.
I1Y WILLIAM RKP.D DU.MtOV.
Washington, D. C, March 4. (Spec
ial to Salad Dressing.) William Billi
cus McKinley, emperor of all the Amer
C38, Porto Kico and the islands of the
Pacific, governor of the District of Co
lumbia and guardian of Ohio and Cuba,
was crowned in the capital city of the
world today under circumstances which
make the imperial coronations of the
czars of the Russias and the festivities
attending the crowning of the Caesars
look like a yellow dog at a bench show.
The public squares and market places
have been crowded for several days with
BubjectB from all the school districts in
the great domain, and when old Sol
opeped up for business this morning,
the capital was in gala array, the red,
white and blue of the empire floated
from every building and from the ships
composing the formidable fleet of war
vessels gathered in the harbor.
The imperial band struck up the cor
onation air, ''God Save William," at 10
o'clock, and immediately thereafter the
gates of the Circus Maximua were
thrown open and the grandest prcee
ion seen here since P. T. Bayrum's
circus moved slowly but surely toward
the center of the city. The cheers from
the throats of the subjects which greet
ed the appearance of Emperor McKinley
tore large openings in the atmosphere.
Riding on a chariot of gold came the
emperor, following the imperial band.
Around bis manly shoulders was
.wrapped a tunic of ermine tied with a
red sash and surmounted by a blue
necktie. His stern Neroic features
stamped him as a man who would be
able to solve the delivery which was
about to be handed him. Tied to his
right chariot wheel walked Jimkay
Jones of Arkansas, leader of the recent
uprising in the western provinces. His
whiskers had been removed to make a
muff for the emperor's wife. His gait
was unsteady and his feet were bare
and sore. Occupying a position near
the other wheel walked William J,
Bryan, wearing a beautiful piece of Ma
nilla rope as a necktie. He was allowed
to distribute copies of the Commoner
along the way.
Emperor William rode in a solid gol d
chariot the gift of the money power.
Viceroy Marcus Aurelius Banna sat at
the left of hib master. Next came the
retinue of Crown Prince Teddicus of
Oysterbay. He waa the hero of the day,
driving a tandem of twenty raging lions
and handling them with ease; only a
word was necessary to suppress any
tendency to bloodthirstinees, for when
ever he spoke Prince Teddicus showed
his teeth and frightened the brutes.
Following the revored custom estab
lished by Caesar Augustus of opening
up a few warehouses fall of corn on
festal occasion and giving the hoi poloi
a rectangular meal, the emparor today
allowed a large amouut of the extract of
corn to be absorbed by the populace,
