Evening Dresses that Are to Replace the

The evening gowns are being made

There was one which was runmrknble
on exhibition at. a prominent Inmliste’s.
it was of brown crepe do iisso, as sheer as
gossamer, but we brown as coll‘vo. It was
simply hung over It rose-colored silk skirt
and bodice. The cifcct was indoscribnbiy
pretty and glowing. The sleeves Were big
shoulder-puffs of mac-colored velvet. A
narrow line of silver passemontorio out-
lined the low neck and formed the girdle.
An enormous bow of the rose-colored vel-
vct \vus perched nirily on the left side of
the skirt, half way between the waist and
the. bottom. it seemed, in spite of the
delicacy of the gauze, and the warmth of
the pink beneath, rntlIer dark, and this
fact was pointed out to its designer. She
admitted the charge promptly.
“But think.” she said, “how tame and
lifeless all those pnle blues and whites
and yellows will look when this warm,
delicate thing comes into the room!"

Most men in a brazen prison live.
Where. in the sun‘s hot eye,
With heads bent o‘er their toll. they lankuldly
Their lives to some unmeaning tunkwork give,
Dreaming of naught beyond their prison wall.
And as. your after year.
Fresh products of their barren labor fall
From their tired hands. and rest
Never yet comes more near.
Gloom settles slowly down o'er their breast;
And while they try to stem
The waves of monrnful thought by which
they are prest,
Death in their prison reaches them
Unfreed. having seen nothing. still noblest.

apt to use a three folded shoot of paper
instead of the usual one of two folds.
Then again. when Mrs. Lounubery uses

that is, the initials of her name in Turk-
ish characters.
There is a style which is quite French
and very chic, of commencing one’ s letter
on the fourth page and going backward
as it were: any number of young women
affect this style, which is considered quite
smart. The letter begins on the fourth
page and ends on what is ordinarily the
third page.
Society has also put the seal of its up-
proval upon very few punctuation marks.
This is quite English. for instance, a let—

Numerals, too, are quite at a discount.
“September the twenty-sixth.” is much
better form than the ordinal “With.” and
when it comes to writing out It street, let
it be “'l‘wenty-tbirvl street," and not ”231!

The Marquise Lanza is always very par-
ticular in this direction. She writes ade-

personal pronoun “ l." whit-h. as she
writes it, resembles a straight line slight»

Lanza” is her signature, and she uses
white wax stamped with n coronet.
Mrs. Van Hensselaer (frugcr usually
writes with violet ink and signs herself
“J. Cruger," in a not too legible hand.
She uses paper a deep golden cream. upon
which, stamped in gold, is her motto,
“ll‘ides lien .\'on Fortune."
Miss iiclcn Gould. being still in mourn.

Upon her cards are her two addresses,
both the one in town, “579 Fifth avenue,”
in the lower right hand corner, and her
country om», "Lyndhurst. lrvlngton—on.
Hudson,” in the lower left hand corner.
Miss Gould writes a clear band which
displays a good deal of character. She
signs herself "Helen M. Gould."
Mrs. William Astor uses, as a rule,
cream-tinted paper, with her address,
"3.50 Fifth avenue.” in gold in the upper
right hand corner, and llt‘l' coar—of-urms
in the loft corner-u lion rampant, bold-
