It must be ealtl that some of the
latcrt designs ftom Paris Indicate a
tendency to extravagance on the part
of Madame la Mode. Flounce and
ft Ilia are well In their way, when man
nisod with taste and descretlon, but
there Is a very strong effort bolng
I
Silk and Velvet Dinner Gown
rcade on the part of certain modiste
to overdo the matter. Thts is shown
at present particularly In the decora
tions of the sleeves and neck, but late
Paris designs carry the Idea to the
extreme in surrounding the bell
shaped skirt with numerous flounces.
One of the latest plates, showing a din
ner gown In silk and velvet, Is pres
ented herewith. It represents the
present extreme of fashion, and while
a pretty face and figure might suc
cessfully carry off such an extreme of
ornamentation, it would prove a very,
trying fashion for one not pecullarlj)
gifted with personal charms. Floun
ces show a strong disposition to "come
in," and are shown in many designs.
By far the handsomest costumes, how
ever, show a plain skirt The narrow
' flounces are most evident where used,
but where they are wide it is evident
the wearer wishes to display rich lace
or other costly material.
Many of the handsome gowns next
Beason will be made of gloesy-sur-'
faced cloth with a border on the edge
of the Bkirt and bands on the waist
or coat, made of perforated cloth laid
over silk of cream-white or of a deli
cate contrasting order.
All indications point to a continua
tion of the immense sleeves that fash
Ion has elected for several seasons
past. So long as their vogue is un
changed, the open, flowing capes will
take the lead as a popular wrap, for it
is impossible comfortably to wear a
coat with sleeves of any normal size
above the encrmous dress sleeves of
the present without crushing ruin to
the sleeves beneath, besides making a
caricature of both coat and wearer.
It Is too late, of course, to expect
anything new in the way of winter
dress materials, but to many the stuffa
that distinguish some of the stunning
gowns that now dot the streets will
be entirely unfamiliar. The English
blanket serges, diagonals and smooth
faced cloths long known, are still used.
Other and more elegant textures for
plain gowns are brown and mouse
colored corduroy, boucle cloth, which
Is covered with curly rings of hair,
and crepons grained and figured. The

arc also equally fashionable. These
out-of-door zouaves are quite among
tho principal nouveautes of the winter
season. In mourning they are made

In the minority, as the sleeves
of the bodices got crushed when perch

dulnty capes are worn, none reaching

finish thus given is always becoming;
besides we all know that the highest
collar will wilt down In front, and thej
fur provides against this. Then, too,
the habit Is a much less pernicious
one than that of the feather or fur
boa.
In the gown pictured here the collaf
is of the dress goods, machine stitched
and thus made to match the sleeve
luffs and skirt hem. But, despite so
much plainness, rich garniture is not
'acklng, and comes in the embroidered
velvet of the lower part of the bodice
and In the tabs to match that show
upon the front of the skirt. The lat
ter is very full. Above this comes a
brown hat trimmed with rich brown
plumes. Hat brims are much given
to thus turning coquettishly from the
face. Nearly every hat Is a picture hat
A Walking Costume,
these days, and frequently the head
gear owes its stylish effect rather to
some happy and plctureque turn given
to the brim than to any special
elegance or detail of the hat Itself.
But to comprehend the essence of odd
ity, consider theatre hats. Examples
will be found that consist of oblong
pieces of stiffened lace laid flat on the
head, the length being from side to
side. An upright design of the "sun
burst" order rises right in front, and
to each of the snugly pushed down
ends of the bonnet a big soft flower la
attached to hug the hair and really,
make the most conspicuous part of the
headdress.

The age of marriage should be de

principals as to the nature of their

some very wise words under the title

thing, Indeed, young hearts seem to
grow more together, to accept the in
evitables of life more frankly, to be
more lenient with offending for love'a
sake than do their elders. Old lovers
who have spent their lives together in
their Journey through life have a fund
of tenderness in recollection of their
common youth that is a fountain seal
ed at which they alone can refresh
themselves. Then in youth hard
knocks are borne so easily together;
laughter is so apt to come after tears;
hopes shared are sustaining even in i
disappointment! These thoughts
make an early marriage sacred from
the cemmon gibes about "rushing
blindfold into a pit." "tying a mill
stone around one's neck," "marrying
in haste to repent at leisure," etc.
But materialism is the governing
power of our age and society. Where,
certain indispensables are now lack

burning are as often seen lurking
