'" ii ! Special Correspondence of the Globe. NEW YORK, Dec. 30.— T0 linger among lingerie. The alliteratlveness of this programme is not its only fascina tion. Let us begin with the most ex pensive; thus would I like to personal ly begin and finish. The best material of which to make the best underclothes is undoubtedly lawn; a linen lawn. I am not recommending this article to the attention of those women whom rheumatism or inclina tion leads to consider seriously the ad vantages of Jaeger (which are many), the charms of flannelette, the Joys of Viyella and the unquestionable dura bility of muslin. Having secured the finest quality of lawn — and what an ex quisite thing it is when you get it.so soft to the touch — you should always cut -_ -~ m<. c*m <_ a-pass. mt C t __ _-^____ For January Balls — The ball corsage We Illustrate is In rose colored mousse line de soie embroidered with dots. It is made up over a lining of rose taffeta. The mousseline de soie is swathed ■your nightgown some three or four Inches on the ground, and you should always make it to fasten down the front. No matter how elaborate may be your trimming, the adjustment should be quite easy. The simplest form of making an attractive night gown is with a fichu-shaped collar, which ties in front with bows and ends. This fichu may be elaborated with doz ens of little tucks and strips of real Valenciennes insertion and frills of real Valenciennes lace, the same to decorate the ends of the bow; while the front of the nightgown should again Bhow a series of tucks and insertions, End the sleeves should be striped from the armhole to below the elbow with tucks and insertions, and trimmed with a deep frill, calculated, so will say the critical, to attach Itself Inquisitively to the morning cup of tea. A very attractive nightgown may be made with a lace yoke piece at the front and at the back of the neck, with a small turnover piece of lawn, edged with loce, tying in the front witb a piecv of ribbon passed through a bead ing. The nightgown will need no other de corations rave a frill of lawn and lac? at the end cf the sleeves and a piece of ribbon drawn in gathers round the A Midwinter Trousseau — | Flower Cockades- Bayadere Effects. | f waist to tie in the front. So that the Valenciennes yoke be real and the frills on the ends of the sleeves match it, this will not be found a very cheap pos session. All the nightgowns of the most extravagant kind are made a little low ln the neck, square or round, and I have seen nightgowns with their sleeves of the Grecian order, long at the back and quite open up to the shoul ders at the top; these I venture to term ridiculous. Last season we had our best nightgowns accordion kilted, but this was an Inconvenient process, for lt had to be repeated every time the nightgown was cleaned or washed. Yet one more simple method of making an attractive nightgown is to cut it a little open at the neck and to supply it with a large sailor collar or tucks and lace, THF NEWEST. around the figure and fastened at the left beneath a rosette of rose colored moire. The draped sleeves have large rosettes of the moire ribbon. Long gloves of white kid. with lace at the edge of the collar, to be allowed to wander down the fronts, which should be liberally tucked. The back of such a nightgown might well be set into three box pleats. Chemises admit of endless elabora tion, the best of the simple ones being formed of two straight pieces of tucks and Insertion crossed over in the front. They are made guiltless of sleeves with just a frill of lace round the armhole. Very pretty chemises may be made of lawn, hand-embroidered with butterflies and Just edged wth Valenciennes lace. Valenciennes lace is par excellence the lace with which to trim all undercloth ing, and for those who cannot afford the real thing the latest Imitation lace, which simulates it with a marvelous fidelity, may be cordially recommended. As I have previously observed, the art of underclothing is an important one, and is not accomplished when you have bought chemises and nightgowns. Flannel petticoats have been invested with much charm of late years, and the most novel style of treating them is with a flounce of white pongee silk striped with lace insertion, and edged with lace. The Zenana silk, which is interwoven with wool, and of ribbed surface, takes the place of the flannel petticoat in the affections of the most fastidious. Once again I repeat the Immortal THE SAINT PAUL GLOBE: SUNDAY, JANUARY 2, 1898. truth that all silken petticoats should be made with corsets to match them, and again I mention that this need not necessarily involve excessive expendi ture. The possession of a pair of black brocaded silk corsets, flowered in pink and blue, will enable us to wear a petti coat of the same material in the day time and a plain blue or pink glace silk in the evening, always supposing that expenditure be an object; for, if not, then I would recommend white satin brocaded corsets for the evening, over a petticoat of white glace much frilled. A MIDWINTER TROUSSEAU. The exquisite models described above are In many of the outfits for January brides. A trousseau Just finished gives valuable hints in regard to other de tails. For the bridal gown itself bro cade is still greatly in favor. The go ing away dress in this Instance was of the old Parma violet shade, but made in a woolen fabric having the appear ance of being poudre, that is, slightly flecked with white. It was made with a bodice tight fitting at the back, a lit tle loose in front, where it opened to display a rich piece of plain mauve bro cade, bordered on either side with hand-wrought embroidery. The accom panying Jacket was lined with the same brocade, and had two long ends meet ing down the center of the front, worked with black and gold braiding. A Russian gold belt encircled the waist, and the collar was of double Russian sable, standing up very high; the skirt was quite plain, but, after the fashion of the day, was almost more beautiful inside than out, lined with plain mauve shot silk, and edged with a double ruche. Another pretty model was a gown of royal blue cloth, the bodice of plisse crepe de Chine, trimmed with chiffon and Brussels point de gaze. The outdoor jacket was in the Moujik style, embroidered In steel, heliotrope and pearls. It had a deep collar at the back; the sleeves were of the bishop form, the cuffs trimmed with the same embroidery, the belt displaying cut steel sides. The embroidered toque was trimmed with sable. FLOWER COCKADES. Despite the Parisian call for flowers New York has been rather slow in re sponding. They are coming to the front now. however, as cockades in velvet toques. -The chief turn is toward violet, those marvelous flowers that people never seem to tire of. This time the whole toque is violet in color, with a reddish purple tinge. Never were so many wings, quills, tails and breasts worn as there are today. Pheas ant is here to stay, and wholesale mil linery stores predict a revival next fall of this catchy Idea. This ls a hint it would be well to take advantage of. BAYADERE EFFECTS. Many new designs have made their appearance. The majority consist of undulating lines produced by jacquard weaving. While these, however, at the beginning only showed continuous lines they have now been developed into an endless variety of designs, some cover ing the ground entirely while others show more ground covered with small spots in the color of the Ailing. The bayadere fashion has evidently not reached its full development yet, and ls one of the features which will be taken up during the coming season. LEGEND OF ORANGE: BLOSSOMS. Thi;. Will be Certain tc Interest tbe January Bride. Like all familiar customs whose origin ls lost in antiquity, the wearing of orange blos soms at a wedding ls accounted for in va rious ways. Among other stories ls the follow ing pretty legend from Spain: An African king presented a Spanlßh king with a magnificent orange tree, whose creamy, waxy blossoms and wonderful fra grance excited the admiration of the whole court. Many begged ln vain ' for a branch of the plant, but a foreign ambassador was tormented by the desire to inroduce so great a curiosity to his native land. He used every possible means, fair or foul, to accomplish his purpose, but all his efforts coming to naught he gave up in despair. ' The fair daughter of the court gardener was loved by a young artisan, but lacked the dot which the family considered neces sary in a bride. One day, chancing to break off a spray of orange blossoms, the gardener thoughtlessly gave it to thiß daughter. Seeing the coveted prize in tha girl's hair the wily ambassador offered her a sum suf ficient for the desired dowry, provided she give him the branch and say nothing about lt. Her marriage was soon celebrated, and on her way to the altar, in grateful remem brance of the source of all her happiness, she secretly broke off another bit of the lucky tree to adorn her hair. Whether the poor court gardener lost his head in consequence of his daughter's treach ery the legend does not state, but many lands now know the wonderful tree, and ever since that wedding day orange blossoms have been considered a fitting adornment for a bride. ART IN FURNISHING. It Can Be So Tame Tbat It Becomes Positively Uflrly. The delicate tints of the average expen sively furnished parlor are apt to be color less unless there is some relief to them. One sees bo many rooms with soft pearly-gray Wilton carpets, walls of very much the same shade, hangings of silvery plush, furniture largely in white and gold, even the sofa cushions of the palest hues in costly fabrics. The curious set expressions of such a room, as if it were arranged for an exhibition par lor of upholstery, ls enhanced usually by the lack of any sort of center. Every room to be successful needs some sort of focus — an open fireplace, a reading table, anything that suggests a drawing together of the room's occupants. It is this lack of sugges tion of life which makes gne stroll through one of these perfectly appointed rooms and come with a sigh of relief into the next apartment, which the family really use. Oc casionally a house is entered whose mistress boldly banishes the 'so-called parlor, letting it be simply an extension of the library. Books line its wall, "-a long table with chairs drawn around it is piled with fresh maga zines, the latest books, and a writing ser vice. All these may be as elegant as one's purse admits, but their very presence con fers a charm and effect by their suggestion of use, that is not found in the handsomest stretches of upholstery and woodwork. As Oar .Grandmothers Did. Copying a scheme utilized by our grand mothers, lt ls not uncommon to see the valances around iron and brass bedsteads held in place by being shirred on to a piece of thin lath. A wide hem ls made in the fabric and the lath inserted. Organdie hang ings are better kept in place ln this way than with rings and hooks. How to Enhance Gibson Sketches. An Eastern paper notes that college boys and girls are decorating their rooms with Gibson pictures, a fashion which has rather NEW FIR O VER-BLOUSE. Our eleganS visitjng costume is of pink cloth, wnite satin, and astrakan. The cloth skirl is trimmed with bands of astrakan. The white satin blouse is superseded the poeter fad. To vary the monotony of the oblong sheets upon which, as a rule, the pictures are presented, some original and artStle genius tried the experi ment of burning the edges. The paper is lighted with a match, care being taken to keep a very small flame. This ls blown carefully around "*he picture ln uneven lines. When finished the effect is exceedingly good. The slender thread of shaded brown which remains after the flame has gone out ls use ful in bringing out the picture; and the ir regular shapes of dozens of such pictures tacked on the wall can be made very effect ive if a, little care is taken in their arrange ment. i Mnstacbes Common on Women. A learned Oerman, who has devoted him self to the study of physiology, anthropology and allied sciences, makes the rather start ling assertion that mustaches are becoming commoner among women of the present day than in the past. He says that in Constanti nople, among the unveiled women that ars to be met with, one out of ten possess an unmistakable covering of down on the upper lip. In the capital of Spain, again, the pro portion of ladies with the masculine character ' lstic is said to be quite equal to that ob servable in the Golden Horn. An American medical man states that ln Philadelphia fully 3 per cent of the adult fair sex are similarly adorned, and probably the proportion would be still larger but that many women take the trouble to eradicate the unwelcome growth by the application of depilatory preparations. Boiled Dock. Dress duck; rub well inside with salt and pepper, and turss drawing legs close to the body.

The Safety of Eiderdown. Do the wearers of eiderdown dressing tacks and wrappers know that this peculiar and beautiful Sabric will not blaze when ho.d to the fire? It will only -molder, being made of an animal fibre. Mothers will do well to remember this when they are buying warm garments for their little ones. Here is the way In which to wash garments of eiderdown: Make a suds of lukewarm water and the best laundry soap. Put in the garment and wash it thoroughly, being care ful not to rub soap on It; that causes It to shrink in spots, and is undesirable in every way. The best eiderdown will not fade, and will bear bard and frequent washings. Chippewa Sprlngr Water, The purest and softest natural Spring water known.

HE WILL ANSWER TO THE PEOrLE. The New Executive. Pledge Upon Aiiumlng tbe Dntlea of His Offlce — Appointment! Made. NEW TORK, Jan. I.— New York to day became the second city of the j world, with Robert A. Van Wyck as its mayor. At the city hall a large crowd gathered early to witness the intro duction of the new mayor. Mayor Strong transacted a few last matters of routine. Nearly all the old members of Mayor Strong's cabinet dropped in to say good-bye. Floral pieces were strewn ln every direction. A tiger, In yellow and black immortelles, resting ln a bed of roses, was one of the most noticeable decorations. At ten minutes to 12 o'clock Mr. Van Wyck entered the office. He was greet ed by Mayor Strong, and Messrs. Glea son and Wurster. The four men. chat ted some time and the big crowd of of ficeholders and ex-officeholders made a circle around them. Shortly before 12 o'clock Mayor Strong said: "Mr. Van Wyck, the people of this new city, made up of five boroughs and 3,500,000 people, have decided that you shall be the flrst mayor and descend from your position as judge to assume the posi tion of magistrate. My impression ls that this old city ln which you and I bave lived for about the same number of years— this old city of New York that ls passing away, will contribute $3,000,000,000,000 worth of property to the new city of which you will ba mayor; $230,000,000 of banking stock and $1,000,- COO.OOO of deposits. And you will take charge of this little borough along with the others, and you will always feel, I know, that lt Is the brightest little j Jewel ln the cluster of five. You have j been chosen to be mayor of one of the largest cities in the world. I congratu late you and welcome you as mayor of Greater New York." Mayor Van Wyck, in reply, said: "The people have chosen me to be mayor. I received the office from them j and to them I will answer." Then after a great shaking of hands the ceremony was completed and the administration of Mayor Strong was a thing of the past. A good contingent of Brooklynltes ac companied Bird S. Coler when he took j charge of the comptroller's office. Mr. i Coler announced several minor appoint ments and got through the ceremony i of Induction with little ado. Coroners Hoeber and Tuthill hold tbat their term of offlce has not ex- j plred and refused to give possession to j Messrs. Bausch, Fitzpatrick and Hart, eltcted coroners, under the new char ter. The new officials, however, ob tained entrance to the offices and as sumed the functions of the place. Messrs. Hoeber and Tuthill say they will appeal to the courts. Mayor Van Wyck has announced the following appointments: John Whalfn, corporation counsel; Thomas J. Brady, commissioner of buildings; James P. ; Keating, commissioner of highways; Henry L. Kearney, commissioner of public buildings, lighting and supplies; j William L. Dalton, commissioner of water supply; James Kane, comnvs- j ..loner of sewers; Thomas J.

Tyler was inaugurated governor of the • , Old Dominion today in the presence of the two houses of the general assem bly convened Jn the hall of the house. The capital was crowded with ladles and gentlemen, and the hall was pack ed to Its utmost capacity. Nearly as many ladies as gentlemen were on the floor and the majority of the spectators in the gallery were of the fair sex. Rev. Dr. Moses D. Hoge made the prayer. The oath of office was ad ministered by Judge R. H. Card well, of the supreme court of appeals. Gov. Tyler read a short address, dealing mainly with state -issues and recom mending certain legislation. The en tire ceremony of the inauguration con sumed about forty minutes. Imme diately after the oath of office was ad ministered to the governor and lieu tenant governor.
