Ribbon Trimmings of Various Tints—Styl-
ish Capes and Collars. ,.
An immense amount. of ribbon is now
employed for trimming. Many of the in-
test lmportations of gowns have the shirt
edged with several ruflles of, ribbon of
varying colors harmoniously combined.
This is a particularly pretty trimming for
the delicate pompndour tnffotns now so
fashionable, the ribbon rufllt-s being chosen
of the shades shown in the flowered pat-
tern.
Capes for mourning costumes are made
entirely of English craps, lined with black
satin and interlinl-d with wndding. The
most satisfactory capes are tho single ones,
out all in one piece in the circular form.
These fit smoothly over tho "shoulders and
flare to the heart's desire. For ordinary
purposes the jacket. like the gown is less
. worn than the cape of velvet lined with
light silk. The jacket is an important
part 0‘ the tailor costume and is suitable ,
VIGNONE COSTUME.
for journeys and walks, but on occasions ,
where it is necessary to lay aside the outer
. garment the cape is preferred.
Very high, flaring collars are to be worn '
this winter, framing the face and head and
protecting them to an unusual extent.
' The attempt to revive the old fashioned
straight sack does not promise to“ be
successful. This garment is ugly in itself
and nnbecoinlng to the figure and how it i
ever happened to be fashionable at any
period is a miracle. It. will take another
miracle to bring it in fashion again now—-
and it is well understood that this is not
the age of miracles. .,
Bodlccs with a small point back and
front are again in vogue. after the long
season of belts, and ‘nre much seenin cos-
tumes of broche goods or velvet. This in a
particularly happy style for *lnrgenwomen,

Little Oflicr Proph- Know.
If any author is popularly believed tc
have been uniformly prospeious and
successful, tho; man was Robert Louis
Stevenson. For n numlwrof years before
his death in-‘wns one of thobvst paid
writers living. Facts that am leukingout
since his death, howevvr, show that'ho at
least: considered himself anything but
prosperous. He seems to have been
Weighed down with a sense of poverty
during his whole literary ('ill‘ill’l‘. It has
been found out that when he first vis-
ited America he canto in a ship second
cabin and took lodging in a common
sailors‘ boarding house near one of the
docks in New York city. The liouso
where he stopped was of the humblcsi
description, such as immigrantsdivo in
for a few days on their arrival here.
While making this his headquarters bu
visited the olden of The Century Magu-
zine, and he, Robert Louis Stevl‘mson,
was snubbed downright by the great
"giifor, Mr. Richard Watson (iiidnr. ,
liven in Samoa, after he rould’n
round his own prices in literuiur the
haunting demon of poverty was seldom
nbsent'froni his thought. A large fum—
ily seems to have loaded itself down
upon his gem-runs hands without u shud-
ow of justtclnim upon him. To carry
this dead wnmht the delicate, sensitive
mun toiled day by day, coining his
brain and nerves, his very life, into mon-
ey, until at last the thread strapped,
and he was dead. These inside facts
come to light in his “Vailimn Hotter-s"
to Sidney (.‘olvin. McClure’s Magazine
prints some extracts from advance
sheets of a .book soon to be published
under the above. name. It is altogether
likely» that nine out of every ten of the
people who seem most prosperous, writ-
ers in particular, would, if the truth
were known, reveal much the same kind
of history. Little we are acquainted
with the inner lives even of those we
think we know the best.
