LAST OF THE 'VOKES FAllIILY.
Victoria, “110 “Tar. Rosina's Eldest Sister,
Dies In England.
LONDON, Doc. 6.—Vict0ria Vokes, the
actress, is (lead.
Victoria was the oldest and last member
of the famous Vokes family of actors and
actresses—Victoria, Frederick, Jessie,
Fawdon and Rosina. Fawdon took the
name of Vokes. The rest were brothers
and sisters. Victoria went on the boards
at the age of 2 years. The family made
their debut in London in 1868 under the
name of the ‘ ‘ Vokcs children.” They came
to America in 1872 and opened at the
Union Square theater, scoring an imme-
diate success. Fred died in London about
1882 and, Jessie shortly after. In 1890
Victoria. was called to London by her fa—
ther’s illness. He died shortly after, and
Victoria retired from the stage. She had
since resided in Devonshire. Rosina died
in J anuz’iry last.
Victoria Vokes was a charming actress
and had an attractive and mirthful face.
Light Weight Gold Paid In.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6.—Among the
gold deposited with the assistant United
States treasurer in this city for the Phila-
delphia members of the Stewart syndicate
for their share of the new bond issue have
been discovered several thousand light
weight half eagles. Some of the coins have
been worn away by constant use, but 0th-
crs have gone through the sweating proc-
ess. The depositors will have to make up
the deficiency.
A Botanist’s Body Found.

Renbaugh, a prominent German physician

THE SUN’SMSHIONS.
.WOMEN’S FANCY LlGHTLY TURNS"
To FASHION’S CHARMS. "
Endless Variety of Designs. Magnificence
in Trimmings and Artistic Combinations
in Colors. Some of the Gowns Seem Very
Simple, but the Bill Dispels the Illusion.
The evolution of fashion, from the earli-
est to its latest phase of development, is 5
an interesting study in art for those who
are willing to see that the tendency in
dress is toward artistic reform. Let those
who clamor for “dress reform,” as repres.
ented by an ugly, unbecoming, but pos-
sibly comfortable costume, reflect on the
changes, improvements and. facilities for
dressing well, and sensibly, too, which
have been given to women within two
decades, and they will have. no need to
treat fashion with contempt or make
themselves conspicuous by being out of
it. The whole fabric of fashion is an art,
and those who work at designing must. be
in a sense artists or they'are not success-
ful. Never has there been such variety
in designs and materials, such magnifio
cent trimmings and artistic combinations
of color, or such elastic possibilities for
exercising individual tastes within the
limit of fashion. '

Every skirt is full, but the extreme full-
ness, which is eight yards around, is
avoided in most cases except for evening
dresses. In the house, with a little train
added to give height to the wearer, the
extra fullness is very effective.
Street skirts measuring five yards at
the bottom, fitted closely at the hips, and
a pretty sweep in the back, are the most
popular of all. Skirt trimming is chiefly
confined to a narrow band at the bottom,
'_ but an occasional panel of velvet, lace, or‘
embroidery is seen. Some eccentric skirt
decorations appear, but they are the ex-
One, for exam-
ple, is a double row of black silk bows
lined with white, extending directly down
the back and front of a skirt in continua-
tion of the same on the bodice in asmaller
size. Perfectly plain skirts cut in the new
generous plan of fullness are very much
worn, especially for evening,r dresses. N ow
and then a double skirt is shown, but it
is in the form of a full, all-around basque
which is fitted to look like a. portion of
the bodice and has the appearance of a.
long coat.
In bodices there is not much change,
except in the matter of fulness; they are
still so intricate in design and elaborate
in decdration that they require an expert
hand, as well as perfect taste, to make
them a noticeable success. If you have a
basque at all it must be supplemented by
a waistband or sash. The most popular
bodice is round, or extended a little be-
low the waist line, and finished with
narrow folds or a girdle of beaded trim-
ming.
A stylish model for a fancy silk waist
has double puffed sleeves and a wide
reversdike collar, which is square in the
back and trimmed with a bunch of em-
broidery and a ruffle of: silk.
A promenade costume of Russian blue
cloth has a narrow band of paler blue
cloth thickly studded with beads around
the skirt, and the yoke and epaulets are
of the brighter shade bordered with the
same band. The zouave is of Russian blu
with lace covered revers. .
Another model is carried out in dark
olive cloth, and the bodice is cut to form
a. full Greek zouave depending from a.
yoke of shot velvet in the red and bronze
shades, which are also used for the waist
under the jacket. The embroidery in the
yoke is of dull gold mixed with alum-
inum. .
Two pretty evening gowns are given,
one of pale turquoise blue moire faintly
shot with rose pink. A border of pale
pink roses with a fringe of buds trims
the skirt and the neck of the bodies,
which is of white chiffon, made full, and
drape'd’iu a novel manner over the shoulm
data. The waistband if of guipure‘la’cebs ..
