THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. FANCIES OF FASHION. Kate Gardner Chats About Tea owns and Lounging Robes. Chinriie and JnimnrM Tendency Ills (IiikiiInIipm the llonar (urtnrnta of the Srnxnii ( liniiHe In Sklrta. Special ChlcaKo Letter.) IT HAS bcin a long time since I have wandered uto the realm of the facinatiiiif teugown, the com lortuble loutigitif,r robe, and Its near re lation, the duinty matinee jacket, and as this happens to be the season of the jtar when gai-mi-nta of this dene rip lion are supposed to appeal most strongly to womankind, a few hints as to the present and coming fashion lu this direction will not prove uninter esting reading, particularly as there are many delightful things to say con cerning all of them. For some mysterious reason or other Dame Futihion has decreed this season that there shall be a distinctly Chinese er Japunese tendency In all the new est lounging robes, tcagowns and house jackets. Everything is more or less a fa Geisha, with kamonn-Iike fronts nd long, loose-hanging sleeves. Of course the materials of which these, charming gowns, are fashioned, carries out this idea to the fullest degree. Tor instance, many of the tengowns of the moment are made of the new pointed velveteen, which shows a wonderfully wixed-upChinesepattern on its smooth surface, while the lounging robes and house jackets at least the major part if them look as though they first saw Ihe light of day in far-aw ay .lapan. For those who do not like the rather se vere Japanese style and I must con fess to many it will prove vastly unbe coming fashion has provided beau tiful models made of crepe de chine and soft Oriental satin, which cannot hut prove captivating toevery woman with true sense of the beautiful. It has always seemed to me that, erepe de chine is particularly appropri ate for teagown purposes. A truly successful teugown must "hang" to perfection, an end, by the way, not al ways obtainable where velveteen is em- PALE BLUE CASHMERE TEAGOWN. ployed and then a teagown, to be seen t its best, fequires a vast amount of airy-fairy daintiness in the matter of trimming; and in the use of velveteen, nnless one is very careful, the result is apt to beanythingbut beautiful. While no garment of the wardrobe of to-day admits of so many possibilities as the teagown, to be on artistic success it must be draped by the master hand. Altogether it can te-made an exquisite picture of crepe de chine, velvet, soft lace, chiffon, and, indeed, everything that the luxury-loving nature of the lady of fashion suggests, or it may be contrived in such an unfortunate man ner us to present the reverse side of the picture. Within the week I have seen some truly charming teagowns made of fine French cashmere, in both cream white and delicately-tinted tones, prettily trimmed with much lace and hanging stoles of the cashmere, and simply fin ished at the waist by a pointed girdle f Oriental emhroldery. The pretty auodel given in the first illustration is fashioned of cashmere in a delicate shade of blue. The skirt is ornamented Xy ruffles of the material, the square Joke !s of black panne velvet, the stoles f white spotted lace edged with Chun tilly, while the embroidery, which is It done by hand, of course, in the most exquisite manner possible, is carried out in the soft Oriental colorings that re so very popular at the present mo aient. The other sketch represents a, somewhat more elaborate and fanciful teagown, made in this instance of rpe de chine. Draped round the shoul ders is a handsome fichu of soft white aioussellne de sole, which is held in place by a large chou of white chiffon, with long sash ends reachingalmost to the hem of the skirt. The most desirable lounging robes een thug far are made of printed velveteen In (lark colorings, lined throughout with soft Chinese silk, finished at the neck by a smartly rolled collar and held at the waist by means of u finely wrought metal gir dle. Other pretty models are made of cashmere with linings of silk, while cithers again are fashioned of pretty cotton crepe cloth, in both light and lark colors, with cuffs and collar In contrasting color or else in somber Mack. The "Geisha" dressing jacket till remains the idol of fushion, al though it has reigned quite two sea sons. The most sought after models are made of cream-tinted silk and ."jkkjI material and simply finished with mm If I . 'I 93 v .

CnHhmcre is oiso Ideal for this purpose and, when rnrricri out in a soft simile of rose pink with fucliitfs of dnintjr white, msikt-H n perfectly cliiiriniiifj jacket and one that nny woman might be proud to call her own. The "matinee" is, of course, much tnore elaborate and fanciful than the dressing Jacket, unit It, Is proper that it should be, considering the mission of eiich Is so vastly different. I'rcnchy to a degree are the inalinec jacketa that come to us this Reason in pastel shiulcs of moiisseline de sole, arranged in line tucks and long lines of inser tion.

Dame Fashion is after all not such a fickle jade as she is represented to be. Only a short time ago sonic of tin) leading authorities loudly proclaimed that the requiem of the Kussiun blouse and the jaunty little bolero would soon be sung, and that the coming skirt would be short and most eluborutely trimmed. How none of these unde sirable things have come to pass and, judging from present signs, are not likely to. All the models that ure daily being sent over from I'uris show in a most marked degree that the reign of the bolero s not over by any manner of means, while the swell-est-looking skirts intended for early spring wear re long and trailing, as of yore, and show not the slightest tendency toward an increase in trim ming. 1 think Chicago women in pur ticularshould be thankful that the long skirt still prevails, for while possessing many points of beauty and grace, and with a charm all their own, their feet do not always show to perfect ad vantage. Whether this Is the fault of nature or the bootmuker, I do not pre tend to say; but it is a fact, neverthe less, that the majority of women one sees nowaduys have, to put it mildly, extremely shabby-looking feet. Inthe matter of sleeves there is much that could be written. The tendency at the present moment is to have them rather tight-fitting from t he shoulder to the elbow, and then to show a great deal of fulness from the elbow to the wrist. In the smart-looking, up-to-date model in the picture this pretty AN AFTERNOON FROCK. new fushion shows to great advan tage. The tailor-gowns of the moment are certainly delightful to ltxikupon. Made of the uew zibeline cloth, with long trailingskirts and smartly-cut jackets, they are more charming than ever be fore. Some have handsomely embroid ered waistcoats, and this mode is likely to remuiu in favor throughout the sea son. Laee continues to play an impor tant part in the world of fushion. Kin broideries, too, of all kinds and de scriptions, are much in demand, ta brighten up winter frocks, ond those who have anything of this kind In their possession should trv to utilize it, fop now is the time and hour.

On the Sunday when Mr. I.ockhnrt had planned to introduce whistling music the exercises were opened by a short talk on the saered ncss of nil melody and harmony and of the praise that could be rendered to God in every form of music. Mr. I.ock hnrt then fold the pupils that they were going to try a new form of music, lie suid that, as a great many of the young men who had really good voices would not sing because they had never been trained in music, he had decided to form a whistling choir. The superintendent had no difficulty in inducing the boys and young men to come forwurd and whistle. Thonulif rul AhneoiKlrr.

Labor is lightened by love, but love cannot lighten pain or relieve it. Many a man looks on at his wife's suffering willing to do anything to aid her and able to do nothing. 1 X Sometimes, however, the husband's attention is directed to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and its remarkable cures of womanly dis eases. He may not have much hope of a cure, but he is led to try the medicine, with the result that in almost every case there is a perfect and permanent cure. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures irregularity. It dries the drains which weaken women, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. As a tonic for women who are nervous, sleepless, worn-out and run-down "Fa vorite Prescription" is unequaled. "In amwer to your letter I will say, my wife commenced to compluiu twenty years aKO,11 writes Lewis A. Miller, e Cliiei-of-I'olice, of 33 Prospect St., Weissport, Pa. " We have tried the skill of twelve different doctors. She took gal lons of'mediciue during the time she was ill, until I wrote to you aud you told ui what to do. She has taken eiht bottles of Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription and six of the 'Golden Med ical Discovery.' She can do her own work now aud can walk around again and is quite smart."
