have no wrong
side. That is, the
bones and all that
are put between
tbe material, and
tbe linings, which
is of silk or satin,
of a contrasting
color to the out-
Bide, so that the
dress is as pretty
as can be when it
hangs over a chair while my lady changes
or as it is laid out ready for her to get
into. Sleeve protectors, these dreadful
things, are basted into the corset-cover
arm holes. They change as of ton aB my
lady changes her corset cover and are
washed as often as the covers are, of
course. The old, untidy custom of hav
ing protectors fastened into a dress
eleeve, staying there as long as tbe
drees is worn, is all done away with. If
you do not wear corset covers, and do
not want to, then you have your pro
tectors slipped into a fine linen bag,
made just to fit, which has little rib
bons at each end. There are ribbons in
the armholes of your drees and the pro
tector is tied in and is not put away in
the dress when the dress iB taken off,
but ia untied and taken out. The best
protector ia a heavy odorless rubber.
The first illustration shows the back
BALL DRESS AND SHAWL BLOUSE.
*iew of the pretty ball drees and a cos
tume with a shawl blouse. The first is
of filmy material, tulle or gauze, with
an underdress of silk or satin, both for
the skirt and bodice. The skirt of this
frook is gathered in at the waist and is
trimmed with a tulle ruche abut the
neck and bottom of the skirt, over which
passes a garland of roses of a delicate
shade, with buds and leaves complete,
■nd which on one side passes half way up
the skirt. The waist is covered with
tulle very full, and the back has a very
wide sash, which fastens under
a large bow. Bands of roses
form the braces, and both the
waist band and the sash are made of
eatin. Turning to the right hand figure,
there is a shawl blouse made of white
crepe, with Valenciennes insertion.
The perfectly plain skirt displays tbe
■ame insertion at regular intervals,
which may be regulated according to
taste. There is a high Medici collar.
The sleeves are very large and puffed;
below the elbow there is a long cuff,
which is stitched in by a herring-bone
stitch. The waist passes underneath
the skirt and tbe sleeves are provided
inside with epaulets of stiff muslin, in
order to keep them upright on the
shoulders. Two triple folds fasten the
back of the collar to the waist.
A reception costume for a middle-aged
lady is next pictured. It ie of satin,
trimmed either with plush or marabout.
The belt should be cut wide or narrow

other material used in the dreas or a
shade that carries oat the second color
of the gown. For instance, a gown of
green and white would show a cloak of
either green to match, or white, lined
with the other color. A pretty model is
the military capp, coming to the knees
und made fall. It can be still longer,
like the old-time dominoe6, to cover all
over. Another model shows a yoke of
tbe material fiuished with a very full
ruflls edged with fur. The rest of the
cloak falls full from under this ruffle,
find is of the second color and material.
It is also edged with the fur. Another
lovely cloak is in yellow velvet and
white brocade. The yoke and lining are
of the yellow velvet; the reßt of the

expensively and almost as charmingly.
A cloak for summer or winter wear is
most unique. The lining is of very rich
silk-back velvet, and the yoke of
the same. From the yoke hangs
almost priceless lace. Of course through
the lace the silk back of the lining of the
cloak shows. We are not all so rich as
that, but if you have such an heirloom
as a beautiful old lace shawl, there ie a
use for it, and the rest of the expense
can be eluded by lining the velvet with
silk. To tell the truth, if the silk is a
perfect match no one will know. Still
no one could fail to know what it was
that showed through in the cloak I saw.
It wae the Bilk back of the velvet inside
the cloak.
The third picture is of a handsome
house dress in cloth and plaid silk. The
skirt is opened at the left side to admit
a pat;el of the silk. Three large buttons
are placed where the Bkirt is joined just
above the panels. Thore is a zouave
jacket bordered with passementerie.
Feathers and not stiffening is what you
should put in your sleeves to make them
stand out stiff and crisp. Feathers are
light and hold their place and resume
their shape if they aro crushed. If you
stiffen with crinoline your gown is only
new and fresh looking the firßt few times
you wear It. The newness of a gown
lies almost altogether in the sleeves.
We hear lots said againßt the great
sleeves but don't you join in it. Instead
is too worn and old for any use you can
get at least a pair of enormous sleeves
and perhaps a bertha ruffle to go over
the Bhoulders and to a point in front.
Mere scraps of brocade, left-ovora nnd
bita will do for atop puff on the sleeves,
or even a ruffle to hang over the top of
the under puff of plain goods, and so add
to tbe richness of the whole; surely
a much more artistic use of goodß and
bits than when we used to cut up
stuff to make little bands fo." collars and
cuffs, and, perhaps, a belt. Now that
the elegance of a gown depends nearly

all upon the sleeves, you can with very
little work Beoure an effect of elegance.
You can bead or paint enough for
sleeveß, or Btripe the top puff with rib
bon, or bind the top of the two puffs or
the one big one with strips of fine stuff,
ribbon-like, only loosely. It is worth
while to get enough gold lace or net of
good quality, so it will not tarnish, to
make two big covers for the puffs. With
these slipped over the sleeves of your
white brocade, short-waisted bodice
and a gold girdle, you make another
dress out of your white silk gown. Or
thus you may make the white brocade
bodice do for two dresses, the one with
a heavy brocade Bkirt, perhaps beaded
with gold, with which, o' course, you
would wear tbe bodice fixed with the
gold sleeves. The otber. just a very full
eoft Bkirt of either India silk or crepe,
and this without the gold over the
sleeves. You see the two gowns would
be of so different a character that no '
one would suspect your economy. Be
sides remember how short a time, com- ,
paratively, fashions last, and how little
after all ycu are able to show for the
amount of money spent. Common wis- 1
dorn dictates following tbe fashion with ,
as little outlay as possible. Thus it is '
wise now to take up the empire because <
in this field we can use up the materials ,
of our out of fashion drosses. After tbe
wear is had from those materials it will i
do to take up crinolines. We would by
then have to get new stuff anyhow, and 1
at least the crinoline etyle will give us [
plenty of goods, and, if we are wise, and
have learned not to be too proud, we
will be well equipped for remodeling for j
the next change.

falls over the front and back is draped
to co\er nearly all the shoulder seams
The corselet is made on whalebones;
these bor.ee occupy the place of the
waist seam*. For this purpose one is
placed in tbe middle of the front, one
between the darts and one on tbe under
arm Beam; the remainder of the Bash
being knotted at the back does not re
quire to be boned. Tne material for tbe
8 eeve is cut very full and gathered on to
tbe lining, so that it stands up at the top
in two little horns. First find the mid
dle of the material, and then the middle
of the tight-fitting lining and make a
notch on each. Then proceed to gather
tbe material in the usual way, beginning
about two inches from tbe bend of the
arm, and stopping about two inches
from the notch in tne material. Fasten
tbe gatherß on the lining, stopping an
inch from the lining notch ; then recom
mence to gather two Inches from the
other side of the material notch, thus
leaving four inches plain in the center
of tbe material. Fix these gathers to
the lining also, leaving an inch on this
Bide of the lining notch plain. Then
take the material which is loose at the
top, and drawing it well up from the
sleeve, from the two little home on the
plain part of tbe lining, making them
stand out well from the contour of the
sleeve. This way of draping the sleeve
is quite new and gives an air of orinin
ality to the dresß. Tbe military collar,
to which the lace is attached, fastens on
the shoulder.

THE MI'SIKAI.K AT HON. POWELL'S
RESIDENCE, DOGWOOD I'I.AOE.
An Interesting Programme Which Was
Rendered for the Entertainment
of the Four Hundred
Present.
The Prescott Courier of January 30th,
contains tbe following society bit of
news which has a distinct flavor of the
frontier:
Will you be kind enough to loan as a
email space of your columns/at not to
exceed 2 per cent per month, for the
purpose of mentioning absolutely tbe
most unimaginably high-toned society
event that ever shook up the social in
yards of Arizona? I refer to the musi
kale at the Hon. Sam Powell's winter
residence, known in society circles as
Dogwood place.
We had been hearing how they had
mueikales and such things at Pbcenix
and around, and we rushed together and
ruade up our minds tbat the thermome
ter was oi no further use when the Has
sayamp club gets left; so we scraped up
a musikale at Dogwood place, which is
about half way between Frijole court
and Jim Boark's elegant country seat
known as Bunk house. About three
miles above ue is the joint palatial resi
dence oi Mr. ar.d Mrs. Bob Groom and
Mr. and Mrs. George Monroe, known as
Cockroach villa. South of us two miles
is Bert Ford's autumn residence, knows
as Greasewood park, where the Karl)
V/>„ir ianir rahhit and over-walked hobc
year through ; so yon see we are prettj
well fixed for society people and thingi
ourselves.
So tbe following exquisite programme
was duly written out on paper sacks and
conspicuously posted up, and private in
vitations on the backs of a deck ol
"Bteamboat" cards notified the favored
squad who were the people and whe
were not.

along with many others too promiscu
ous to be registered.
Next time we want D. A. B. or some
body down here who can write her up
as she desires to be writ.
We don't want those society folks in
the big towns to get the start of us—and
we don't intend they shall. We are go
ing to rush our system right straight
along from now on.
The next blowout will be a "pink
tea." There is nothing but black and
green te% and yerba santa in the camp,
but we have already sent an order to J.
I. Gardner & Co. for pink tea, and I
guess he'll get it if it is on the market.
"German" —I think we can dig up a
German in camp, and if we can't I guess
a Dutchman will do just as well.
Finally, we have among our plans a
"pot pouri." We are well fixed for
pots, and we have plenty of time to look
after that last part of it, whatever it is
like.
So you may just say to the public that
when it conies to society matters the
Hassayamp club is "in it" np to her
ears.

Special correspondence to the Herild.
New Yobk, Feb. s.—At many fashion
able luncheons or afternoon teas em
broidered tea-cloths, one yard and a
quarter, one and a half or two yards
square, are used on polished wood tables
instead of tablecloths, with the plates
and dishes placed on doilies to match.
Although white throughout are consid
eied most recherche in table linen, col
ored embroidery on white is so popular
1 that, with an especial view to tbe proper
display of this style, "linen sateen," an
entirely plain but very fine table linen
ib shown, over which may be laid a
colored tea-cloth with doilies in keep
ing. It must be understood, however,
that white is the foundation of almost
' all handsome tea-cloths, some being so
nearly covered with yellow, pink or
i blue silk embroidery that they are
termed colored. A pretty idea is to
have the corners richly embroidered in
Bhell shape, and as a matter of course
i the doilies are also shell shaped. No
lack of durability can be urged against
this open work embroidery (spechter)
as it is all hand work, done in strong
silk or linen thread, and is surprisingly
inexpensive, tea-cloths ranging from
> $3 25 to $55 apiece, doilies from $3 to
f $15 per dozen. Where a hostess desires
i to show tbe latest elegance in table
linen, alternating with her handsome
polished table, a combination silk and
linen cloth with knotted silk fringe on
' two sides and linen fringe on the other
1 two is most effeotive.
' BEAUTIFUL TABLE ACCESSORIES
' Are green or whito crystal glass vases or
" pitchers of various sizes decorated with

[ any one of theße pretty 'novelties is a

' is in such enormous demand that deal
ers are forced to Bell it at a very small
profit. Both Bcented and unscented
( contain 40K per cent of glycerine, which
accounts for their delightfully emollient
qualities, and the former owes its ex
quisite odor to attar of roses.
PROMINENT AMONG
All wool spring fabrics are cheviot chal-
Heß, brought out in various plain colors,
in pencil stripes of harmonious shades,
and also in contrast, especially for gen
eral wear or traveling. They make up
to great advantage, resembling expen
sive Btuffs, and Bupply a long felt neueß-
Bity for an all wool material light enough
to be comfortable during midsummer.
A beautifnl variety has a groundwork
of an open flower on the jonquil order,
without Btems or foliage, showing colored
centers, woven so closely that no plain j
surface is visible, and contrast is ob
tained at nature's expense, heliotrope,
gray or green flowers having pink cen
ters, while maize-yellow or tan have
blue. Another attractive feature in the
arrangement of this floral surface is the
alternate shading into light and
dark stripes; and considering
their unique beauty and reasonable
price (60 cents per yard) tbey will prob
ably become very popular for house
dresses or tea gowns. In addition to
the foregoing styles, Dresden china pat
terns on white or plain colored grounds,
pink raoßß rosebuds of pale shades,
on chevron stripes with a flower at the
point of the stripe, violets on black
pencil stripes, and cube or "soap-bub
ble" dots in both contrast or harmony
on light or dark hues, are all new and
attractive designs. Bourette effects are
again noticeable, and "whipcord" stuffs
in stylish colors, especially eminence
purple, 50 inches wide, at $LSO per yard,
are very desirable for early spring wear.
COTTON VELOUBB
is such an excellent imitation, in gen
eral appearance and width, of handsome
wool material, that it might readily be
mistaken for the latter, and a clever re-
f traduction of expensive silks is in Eng
ish Bateens, tbe larger proportion show
ing dark surfaces, with self-colored
figures and zigzag stripes; contrast
being brought about by broken floral
stripes of one color. Crape finished
cotton fabrics are again stylish, another
suggestion of rich silk appearing in
single paneiea or other small flowers
scattered over aWark ground. Bedford
cord, varied by minute dots between the
cords, is assured for the coming season,
and narrow stripes will be aa much in
vogue an ever. New ginghams are
largely of plain colors, powdered with (
tiny black or colored interwoven 1
squares, cube or Maltese croßß dots, in- c
tended to supersede the polka dot, c
which has not so far appeared in new \
materials. Fannie Field. s

THE GAME LAWS.
Several Amendments to Them Are
Proposed.
There are a great many sportsmen
who feel an interest in the changes in
the game laws proposed in the present
legislature. There are a number of
them, and they were all introduced by
Asßemblyman H. F. Emeric, who is
a keen sportsman himself. They
have been consolidated in one general
bill, which has passed committees in
both houses. The state fish commis
sioners have indorsed all tbe Emeric
bills, while many sportsmen, who follow
the chase or dangle the hook simply
for enthusiasm and love of sport,
favor the bill, but there are others who
find things to criticise and oppose. Tbe
proposed measures, if passed, would, it
is claimed, serionsly affect pot-hunters,
equirrel-baggers, night duck and deer
hunters, and all hunters who follow the
pursuit of killing game .1 all times and
seasons as a business proposition. The
new laws, it is figured, would cut into
the trade of cartridge dealerß, and might
shave the revenue a little of the powder
and shot men..
The general provision of the proposed
laws are ac follows. If they pass, all ex
isting game laws that conflict are re
pealed :
Extending for two years longer the
law prohibicing«tbe killing of deer in
California. This law was passed two
years ago and the time limit will expire
July Ist.
Extending the close season for doves
(now March Ist to July Ist) to August
Ist, each year.
Making it a misdemeanor for any ex
press or transportation company to bring
game into the state when such game ia
not in season in this state. This is cal
culated to prevent dealers from shield
ing themselves from prosecution, as they
do now, by saying that game exposed
for sale is from outside the state.
Making it a misdemeanor for any cold
storage company or any one to have in
their possession game which is not in
season.
Prohibiting the killing of game at
night; designed to prevent deer slaugh
tering by use of "jacklighta;" also the
wholesale destruction of ducks.
Making every sheriff, constable and
peace-officer of the stale a deputy game
and fish warden, allowing them $10 a
day for each arrest and $20 more for
each conviction of a violation of the
game laws.
Providing for the appointment by the
court of special counsel for the prosecu
tion of the game laws, in cases where
the district attorney declines to act as
prosecutor.
Giving the fish commissioners power
to "poBt" all stocked streams for any
period not longer than three years.
Making it unlawful to expose for sale
any trout, including book trout, which
are less than eight inches in length.
Prohibiting residents of one county
from hunting or fishing in another
without first securing a county license
or an invitation to hunt or fish from a
property owner or leasee of the county
in which it is proposed to hunt or fish.
It is this last measure that is most
strenuously objected to. This, it is be
would serve to check whole train
loads of hunters def-cendire in a fcodj
and depleting certain sections of all
game.
The P_s«: Poodle and tho Bloodhound.
The Way of Some Wives.
The Archibald case has gone the way
of nearly all such cases preferred by
wives against their husbands. After
securing his commitment for trial in the
superior court on a charge of assault
with intent t j do great bodily harm,
and after arousing the sympathy and
indignation of all the neighbors, he is
no sooner released on bail than she goes
back to live with him, and the two are
enjoying a second honeymoon. The
people can probably stand it if the
woman can, but it is safe to say that she
will never prosecute the case any fur
ther unless a new casus belli occurs.—

Chicago, Feb. 4.—Visitors to Chicago
during the world's fair period will find
much that is of interest outside the cou-
fines of Jackson park, every nation In
the world having contributed come
special feature for the entertainment of
the thousands who will daily seek
amusement outside the round of sight
seeing, which, after a time, becomes
monotonous and wearying. The direct
ors of the fair have ransacked the four
quarters of the earth for unusual feat
ures tbat will act as a foil when, worn
ont with sight seeing in the exposition
grounds, tbe wearied visitor seeks rest
nd amusement for body and mind,
cience haa been drawn npon and
tribute exacted from tbe resources
of art, the Orient has contribnted
curious people in outlandish cos
tumes, and the frozen north haa
sent a pigmy race clothed in
skins; the depths of earth belch forth
their fires and the captive balloon and
electric towers pierce the air above:
centurieß long forgotten contibute of
their stories and the present age fur
nishes ice that does not melt for an
August toboggan slide. All these and •
thousand other curious things may be
seen on Midway Plaieance. The crowds,
the glassworkers, scenes in the shops of
the streets representing Constantinople
and Cairo, their bazaars filled with the
wares of those countries, the French and
Vienna cafes, the Irish village—all will
repay tbe visitor even if not tempted to
purchase curioß from the Turk or attend
a performance at the Chinese theater.
The Dutch settlement, which is trans
planted from one of the South Sea isl
ands and not from Holland, as its home
would imply, will be a practical demon
stration of the habits and customs of the
people of those dwellers in the sooth
tropic zone. There will be a colony of
natives who will sell manufactured
articles and give entertainments peculiar
to their tribes. <»
Then there is the Turkish exhibit.
The mosque is a miniature reprodnction
of a noted edifice in Constantinople. No
.Christian may cross the threshold.
When tbe faithful are called to prayer
the keen-eyed observer may see the
Moslem prostrate himself before the
altar of Mohammed, bnt that is all. The
bazaars, however, are opened wide,
and thrifty merchants arrange their
fabrics in tempting array before the
throng. The shops are all open on tbe
narrow street, merchant and artisan liv
ing in the little rooms above tbat are
lighted by curiously barred and dec
orated windows. One of the attraction!
of this section is a tent, owned by the
Shah of Persia, and valued at $6,000,000.
Each separate awning is one mass of
gold embroidery, and more than 100
years were consumed in its manufacture.
Sedan chairs can be obtained here by
those who are unable to break through
the crowd, or who may desire to lie
carted about after tbe fashion of two
centuries ago. That tall obelisk covered
with Turkish characters ia not stone, but
looks marveloußly like it, so deft are
these Turkish workmen. It is a fac
simile of the obelisk in Constantinople
erected by the Romans before the time
of Constantine.
The famous old Liberty Bell, which is
coming to the fair from Philadelphia,
has a place already waiting for it in the
Pennsylvania state building. Its loca
tion is on the right side of the main en
trance. The bell will be suspended
from the ceiling of the second story
floor co that persons on the main floor
can stand under and look np at the bell.
At a point about midway of the bell's
height there is a balcony, and visitors
can have a close inspection of it, though
they will not be allowed to toucb,it, be
cause of the railing aronnd the balcony.
This was deemed a necessary precaution
to protect it from vandals.
Mrs. Eva Mariott, who is to have
charge of the exhibit of crown laces ol
Queen Marguerite, reached Chicago yes
terday direct from Italy. It has taken
the Italian queen some time to deter
mine to permit her lace treasures to be
sent to Chicago. The collection is his
torical and precautions will be exercised.
A guard will constantly be on duty and
never permit the rare fabrics to be out
of hiß sight. Some of the lacea wers
made more than 1800 years ago. The
value of the collection cannot be esti
mated.
Tenß of thonsands will visit with In
terest the reproduction of Blarney castle,
Donegal, Ireland. Its outer appearance
gives ono a feeling of suffocation, there
