BowilßQ a social Fad in New York.
V£ V* ENTHUSIASTS. DAILY INCREASING IN NUMBER,
** ** SAY THCRE IS NO INDOOR SPORT LIKE IT. ... 'X' *X
Bowling is a growing social fad In New
Tork, indulged In by an army of about
-- «• members of about -tj<> clubs who
play regularly each week, ro say nothing
of rhe individuals and impromptu parti s
who daily engage in the sport. It la In
i a keen Interest in the game that
i - the community, and o^e
amounting almost o a craze, which ap
o be quite evident along and near
upp«-r Broadway from Fifty-ninth street,
all through the hundreds, says the New
York Herald.
This matter of bowling is very far from
new. having come down to u^ from early
in the mi<: i and having b -en. in
ed to Manhattan island in the flisc
C the Hollanders when they played
erunner of the game in Bowling
Green; but the social features, the par
ticipation of women in the sport, and tha
ompaniments that go with it,
specially emphasized, give to it a
new and^ppecial interest. Every one is
bowling. The staid old ir.en, who talk
about "nine pins" and "ten pins" are
■till at it. and the younger people to the
and third generations are found
in the alleys nightly, and are giving the
game a social position it has never had
before.
It is the club that is doing the work,
and its name is legion. A bowling alley
as a household feature is difficult to at
tain, particularly in a dense city, where
a large population lives in flats; so the
bowling alleys built for hire are in de
mand, and they are best secured by ciub
organizations, which allow for a com
fortable distribution of the attending ex
penses; hence the numerous clubs with
membership.-; from a dozen to three score.
These clubs hire the alleys for one or
more nights a week during the season,
which begins when outdoor sports cease
and continues until they begin again.
Thi- club that has hired an alley owns it
for the night it plays, and has undisput
ed control of it. It ft only for club mem
bers and invited guests, and there they
are at home. They play their game, have
all the soda! visiting they want, rest
frorr the bowling, take a hand at cards
or partners for a dance, and have a gen
eral good time through a long evening.
Refreshments art provided, usually as a
part of the renting contract, and are fre
quently served in the alleys.
These "bowling parties" are becoming
more and more popular, and frequently

The host simply hires the alleys,

JARGON OF FASHION.
The jargon of fashion is as Greek to
the uninitiated and a short resume of
thn new terms in the dry goods world
may prove both interesring and useful to
many.
• * *
The present word "tcque," the winter's
modish head covering, is given to aknost
woman's round hat without a brim.
Originally it was the style of both men's
and women's hats in the sixteenth cen
tury.
* ♦ *
Our fashionable tunic skirt is now a
simple, smooth overskirt, hung over a
lower petticoat from th»> waist. Its name
misnomer derived from the Roman
Rr.cl Greek drapery that enveloped the
whole figure.
* • *
The flitter n<-ts are one of fashion's first
rites just now and axe extensively
written about. For those not in the know
It may be said that these are nets strewn
with light weigh: spangles made of corn
on.
» * *
The rp"f-nt horse show brought to our
. the extreme popularity of the
pelisse. This term used to be exclusively
led to ;: fur garment. Now It is a
lung cloak of aimosr any material, full to
the feet, covering rhe entire figure.
• • *
Almost tlii j !a'rst material introduced is
called panne. This v- a long-haired fab
ric-, afier the satin antique kind, only not
quite so lustrous.
• « •
Silk lined mocha gloves are the proper
cold weather hand covering. These are
made from the skin of an animal which
looks like a cross between a sheep and a
goat, found in Spain and Egypt. Its sur
slightly resembles suede, but is
* * •
"Couteau," much used to describe mH'-
Inery garniture, refers to knife-shaped
or wirgs.
♦ * •
"Antique" is a term j=o variously ap
plied to describe so many different things
one may well be confused by its too
common use. Properly It means a lace
<if ancient design, or yellow, or aged In
color. Tn silks it designates a peculiar
watered affect in vogue in previous cen
turies in whkh the design Is indistinct
and wavering.
* * •
On every hand one reads of appliques.
This means materials cut-out and sewed,
embroidered or pasted on another stuff.
Lace designs, gimps, braids, etc., are
treated in the same way and then be
come lace appllcues, braid appliques, etc.,
or, in plain English, applied lace or ap
plied braid.
* • *
The ultra fashionable are having a craze
for maline for hat decoration at the
present moment. This is a very fine
*ilk net of gauze-like texture, with a very
pretty gloss and quite soft.
• * •
The modish fur of the winter—chinchil
la —Is the skin of a pearl gray South
Armnian mountain squirrel. This name
is also given to a heavy stuff much used
for top r-oats —particularly for men—in
which the top surface is rolled into tiny
tufts.
• * *
The universal use of the Directoire and
Empire designs in the fashion world this
season behooves one to know that the
first named are the styles in vogue dur
ing the French directory, 1793-1801, and
both vocal and instrumental, and often
vaudeville sketches, are furnished.
Half-past 8 o'clock Is early enough to
visit the alleys, for most of the players
arrive a little after that. T began a round
of the bowiing alleys at FiftJ-ninth street
recently, and, not being sure where the
alleys were, I walked, around the circle
and listened. I soon heard the rumbling of
the balls:
In the first place I visited there were
ten alleys on two floors, and all busy. Men
and women were rolling the balls, and
just as I entered loud appiause came from
a bevy of women for a "ten strike" made
by Miss Caroline A. fireen.
"It's a great game." said Charles K.
Starr, captain of the Knickerbocker Vth
letic club team, "and is becoming more
and more popular every day. The women
are taking great interest in it and are do
in? some fine playing.*''
At another alley was the Columbia Col
lcgr club, which has thirty wnraen In its
membership, headed by Dr. Watson L.
Savage, of Columbia university. Then.
■jp stairs were the Metropolitan, Empire
and Fidelia clubs playing a tournament.
Further up Broadway the Rough Riders
were found in a basement alley making a
charge on the pins. On the other side of
the way at the Republican club a party
of women were in possession of the al
leys.
Throe more alleys were visited in rapid
succession, and the Boulevard, Ivy and
Harlem clibs were seen doing themselves
credit, getting all the enjoyment possible
out of th-i game.
A longer stop was made with the Go.h
amites, composed of about e<iuil numbers
of men and women, who were ha\ing a
jolly good time, with two fine alleys ac
their disposal.'
"This is an excellent game for wom
en," said Mrs. Rjfdway, "and we enjoy
it ever so much. You see, we are getting
tired of cards and such sports, and this
gives just the exercise we want. S'nce
women have been initiated into the mys
teries of golf, and are doing so well at
the game, they are craving a little of the
athletic with their games, and find just
what they want in bowling."
Going on up Broadway I found the
Beefsteak Bowling club, the West Ends
and the New Jerseys enjoying the game,
and then another tournament was found
In progress, with the Empire, Puritan and
Oriental clubs in close contest.
It was getting late when the journey
was pursued Into the labyrinths of Har
lem with ears open for the sound of roll-
Ing balls. The sound was heard in a lit
tle inconspicuous room where a good
alley was being used by a private party,
the guests of Mrs. "William S. Walker.
All were women, and there w rere fourteen
of them.
"It's a hen party." said Mrs. Walker.
"We have a chaperon about here some
place, but I haven't seen him for an hour.
I expect our noise has driven him away.
This Is lots of fun, and we have the^e
parties quite frequently."
the latter are the modes used at the time
of Napoleon I.
The planen laces that find a part in
almost every handsome costume at the
present moment are machine-made laces
manufactured at Planen, Germany, and
are in the coarser embroidered effects.
HOUSEHOLD HIXTS.
To clean silverware take a soft rag and
wet it with benzine and rub silver. Then
ooiish with chamois. For silver knives
and forks take a tablespoonful of rire
clay and wot It with benzine and rub it
and wipe it with chamois.
Glassware should be washed in warm
water, with a dash of soap powder, rinsed
off in clear, warm water and poilshed
with soft linen towels.
Never scald woolens. Wash in warm
soap suds, rinse in lukewarm water
twice. Stretch lengthwise, repeating at
intervals while drying to prevent shrink
ing.
Wash flannels thoroughly with soap
suds, rubbing out all soiled spots, and
rinse in clear water without any eoap,
having: the water of the same temperature
as washed in. rinse three times, then
wring: out as dry as possible and hang
up to dry. Flannels washed this way
will look like new till worn out.
Chimneys and burners should be boil
ed very often, as it makes the chimney
fireproof by putting it in cold water let
ting it come to a boil, then letting it cool
in the water. By boiling the burner it
cleans out the air passage, thus prevent
ing smoking. By soaking a wick in
vinegar twenty-four hours before placing
in the lamp it insures a clear flame
PASSIXO OF THE CAPES.
Capes have gone out and coats have
come in—box coats. It is an accepted fact
—accepted by the fashionable with a si°-h
and by the aesthetic with a smile—that
box coats are to be the rage.
However, they are not so alarmingly
ugly as they have been. Some of *he
models are graceful and elegant, come
are severely plain, but they are all ex
pensive. An exclusive style could scarce
ly be otherwise.
The box coat has one feature at least
to recommend it. Tt can be worn over an
elaborate bodice without fear of crashing
it, and that is an advantage which tnnf
tight-fitting jackets cannot claim.

While there is no Question that a
coat and skirt costume is absolutely nec
essary for ihe comfort of every woman
who is fond of dress and able to indulge
that fondness, this season there is an
additional interest in the way of coats
and skirts that do not match.
Not for many years have there been so
many styles of outside wraps. I-ong coats,
short coats, three-quarter length coats,
with a bewi'.dering number of capes and
cloaks, each has a distinct individuality
that is fascinating and makes it hard
to resist spending a lot of money on
such dainty garments.
It is curious to notice that with the
coats made of the same material as the
skirt the exceedingly short jackets are
the most popular, the fancy coats that
are worn with many skirts are rather
longer, while the regular long coat that
Is so popular that it is threatened with
becoming common is made so long that
it covers the gown. On a short jacket
worn with the costume is a great deal
of trimming. There are few plain jack
ets seen, and there apparently is no limit
as to the expense that can be put on
one of these coats. The hand-painted
panne velvet is a favorite style of trim
ming, but of necessity expensive, for the
work must be executed carefully and the
material itself to start with. If it is of
the finer quality, is by no means cheap.
The trimmings of velvet used in waist
coats consist in a border around the coat,
cuffs, revers and collar,, but the painting
is not used excepting on the vest and
cuffs. It never is used on the collar or
on the band that borders the coat. A
good quality of panne velvet with a
! Parisian design is used without being
i painted. Embroidered velvets are also
i fashionable as trimmings. The plain
j surface is embroidered with jewels, and
i outlined with the finest hand embroidery
! and silk and chenille. Often such trim
j mings as these cost more than the en-
I tire gown.
A smart gown is made of a black and
white checked veivet, has a vest of white
j velvet on which are painted pink roses;
j the revers are of white satin with roses,
j edged with black Persian lamb. Another
gown of plain black velvet has a vest
of black satin on which are embroidered.
iin heavy silk, yellow roses. The vest
i is lined with yellow and the revers are
1 black satin faced with 3*ellow.
The fur cra-ts also have a touch of this
I embroidery. A fine Persian moire has
! pointed revers of black satin covered
; with an intricate design in jet and steel.
The collar is faced with biack satin, with
a narrow border of jet and steel em
broidery, and there are wide pointed cuffs
that are a mass of embroidery. At first
this style of embroidery with fur seems
odd, but it is seen now so often that it
is accepted as an attractive finish. The
i cloth jacket, lined with fur.however.must
have the rivers faced with fur, as the
I coat otherwise would not look warm
; enough. Some fur capes show what
! can be done when a fashion. Is carried
to extremes. A cape of sea otter has a
band of embroidery around it of dull
■■ green leaves embroidered directlyj on the
fur and outlined with narrow white lace.
This work, of course, must be done in
applique, but the effect is that of the
I silk embroidery done on the fur itself.
CLOTH JACKETS.
A welcome addition to any wardrobe is
one of the dainty little cloth jackets
mr.de of colored cloth, blue, green, red, a
■ light tan or light gray, in some design
different from the coat worn with the
entire costume. These short jackets al
ways are tight-fitting, with narrow,
straight fronts, often braided elaborately
and always trimmed elaborately, with
vest and revers of bright-colored velvet
with lace vests, and worn with lace bows
at the throat. A light gray is braided
I with a darker gray round cord, outlined
I v.ith a narrow silver braid. The revers
are of white satin braided in silver put
ion over heavy guipure lace. Another
I little coat on the game idea is in a bright
purple cloth, with a vest of black and
white made of white satin, on which are
sewed narrow stripes of black velvet rib
bon. An inside vest goes with this of a
much darker purple velvet. At the back
the coat is cut into a point at the waist
line and at the neck, and the black Jind
white satin is let in so that it forms a
fitted pi >cc. At the back of the neck it
forms a coVlar. high and flaring, and
bound with purple velvet. At the waist
it is cut into a point, and shows below
it a band of purple velvet.
The long cloaks that look so well when
worn by tall, slim women unfortunateiy
are copied for short, stout women, who
also elect to have poor material put in
these coats. When these tang cloaks are
made of expensive material and well cut
they are beautiful, but nothing is uglier
than one made up in a cheap covert doth
with a poor lining and with little re
semblance to the original fashion. The
handsomest of tha:t- garments are those

and require little trimming. The bands
of machine sritchinx or stitched cloth
bands of the same color, or the embroi
dered yoke, are all that are necessary.
The beauty of the garment, as has b?en
said, consists in the way it is made. One
eurpristng and cheap garment Is made in
dark cloth, lined with fur below the
waist, and then with biack satin is long

shaped flounce. The sleeves are shawl
shaped, and there is a high Raring col
lar. Oddly enough, this coat is not too
expensive, and Is in good sts*le for a
ready-made coat. Shorter capes also are
to be bought ready-made of light cloth,
coat in three capes, with straight fronts,
and the fronts embroidered in heavy silk.
There is also a little:collar of colored vel
vet. This style of cape is suitable for
theater, as well as for any other occa
sion when a light wrap is needed.
NOVELTIES IN HANDKERCHIEFS.
Artistic designs, printed and embroid
ered in colors, are the touch of novelty
giver, the new handkerchiefs.
The pure white handkerchief is no
longer a rtquislte of good form. All the
French handkerchiefs show some color,
either in border, the monogram or the
floral design.
Instead of the hemstitched border, some
of the handkerchiefs are finished around
the edge with a vine of raised embroid
ered flowers. These are extremely pret
ty worked in purple violets, yellow but
tercups or blue forget-me-nots. Others
have a hand-embroidered flower in the
corner, with the stem and leaves stamp
ed in color instead of being embroidered.
Then there are handkerchiefs among the
riove\t.43 with narrow-colored borders
and bow knots, fieur de Us or butterflies
embroidered in rach corner matching the
border in color. The colors chosen for
these handkerchiefs are generally light
shades, but there ar.: not a few this sea
son with bright plaid borders.
Among the more expensive handker
chiefs are those of sheer linen, appliqued
with transparent lacy designs. These are
beautiful, but perishable.
ihe handkerchief edged with a fall of
lace is no a- considered out of date. The
correct lace-trimmed handkerchiefs of
today are nppliqued with separate lace
designs or have as a border narrow
bands of lace insertion. An effective and
novel idea is to sew the lace design to the
handkerchief with line, light-colored silk.
The linen must be cue away beneath ihe
design, so that the lace will be trans
parent. A handkerchief of this descrip
tion would make an acceptable little
Christmas gift, and any clever girl cou'd
make one. for lace designs, and extremt
ly small ones can be bought separately
in th- shops and the perfectly plain but
very sheer linen handkerchief is always
to be found: and if she is skillful with
her needle she can surely do the rest.
HATS A*D BO*\ETS.
Chiffon puffings iwid bows intermixed
with fur and velvet are characteristic of
this season's fnshionsble. trimmings for
toques and bonnetsi The' foundations of
many new hats are* composed of felt or
cloth. The crownsjare higher than they
have been for some time. Picture hats
of black velvet are wofn as much as
tcques. They are wide, and the trimming
usually consists of two long ostrich
feathers, laid one jin each *side of th«;
crown. In the fronJßoi the hat is a bow
of black velvet, wltn «c paste buckle in
the center, and bet'.e^h the brim is a
fluting of pale pink chiffon.

There Is a slender hope for thp poor
woman this season. She can be fashion
able if she tries hard enough, as one fea
ture of the autumn tailor suit is severity.
Stiaps. stitching (whole rows of it) and
lapped seams are the latest decorations
for these gowns. As they only take ex
tra t^me, more women can "present a
fashionable appearance than when rare
laces and taiins were used for trimmings.

as p. grave scandal and the worldinss of ',

nor specially worldly, in whose minds
"Colenso's Arithmetic" and "Colenso's ;

Many an officer now doing duty with the j
guns at and about Ladysmlth —the num- |
ber perhaps including Sir George White j
himself—is there practically applying
theoretical lessons laboriously acquired
from those two standard school tex>
books.
John W. Colenso, the clergyman whose
name is commemorated by the Naial
town, was Dorn at St. Anstel 1, Cornwall,
England, in January, ISI4. He went to i
the University of Cambridge, like many
another man, intending to take holy or
ders in the Established church, and.
like only the favored few, succeeded in
making a high academical reputation for
himself as a mathematical tutor. It was
in this earlier part of his career that he
produced the textbooks already mention
ed. Having been appointed to a country
living in England in 1846, he was scv.n
years later elected to the mis:sionary
bishopric of Natal. What distinguished
him as a missionary from the very outset
was his unusual sympathy with the hu
man interest in the Zulu Kaffirs, whose
conversion, and not the care of the white
mans soul, he very logically considered
his chief business
Bishop Colenso held that It was not
enough tor the white man to go to Natal
and insist upon the Kaffir's learning to
speak English and wear suspenders.
This, or something very like it, had been
the conventional notion of missionary ob
ligations until nis time. He insist Ed that
the preacher of the white man's God
ought to be able to talk to th*> Kaffir
in his own tongue or tongue?. The prop
osition was a hard one for the average
missionary in those parts, b.-causs :h>
Zulu tongue is one of the most extrava
gantly arduous of attainment for any
one but a pure bred Zulu, distinguished,
like Chinese and the ancient spoken lan
guage of Greece, by the importance of
its "tonic accents," and, further, abound
ing in strange palatal "clicks" and
"clucks," the like of which are hardly
to be fjund in any other language un'e.'
heaven. But in spite of these difficul
ties the new bishop, by dint of associating
with natives to an extent almost un
heard of among white men before his
time, did succeed in so far mast^ri-gr
their language that Colenso's "Zulu
Grammar" at d "Zulu-English Dlct:on
ary" are to this day reckoned quite as fa
vorable as his mathematical works by
those competent to Judge of both, though
the number be comparatively snia'l.
But the book which was to make B sh >p
Colenso's name share, in the decade of
the Civil war, the columns of English
newspapers almost on equal terms with
the names of McClellan, Lee, Grant and
Lincoln, did not appear until 1862. This
was the first volume of "The Penta
teuch."
It was of rhis oook that a l^anie 1 and

copy of it in one hand and a Co'eio's

The heresy of Dr. Brlggs, to tnke a

Violent storm than did Colenso's denial of
the inspiration of the Old Testament. Like
every position for which Bishop Colenso
ever contended, rhis denial was backed
by what he at least regarded as cogent
reasoning and his opponents Could not

sional sceptic—not always ready to ac
knowlede the ob'igaiion—with much ma
terial for good dollar getting piatfoim
dialectic. But the peculiar features of
Dr. Colenso's theological ombreak aiose
out of his connection w.th the Establish d
Church of England.
No sooner did the first volume of his
"Pentateuch" appear than his metropoli
tan, the bishop of Cape Town, bejan to
take step, to discipline its author. With
out any avoidable loss of time b >th
houses of convocation formal ;y con
demned the work, and the bishop of Cape
Town pronounced the see of Natal va
cant. The general convention of the
American Episcopal church concuired in
the judgment of the English convoca
tion. But all this was strictly in .he
spiritual order; it remained to b? sen
whether the civil authority would su-na'n
the deposition pronounced by the eccle
siastical. Some time was consumed
in litigation between Dr. Colenso—or.
rather, his supporters—and the majorhy
of the Anglican clergy, and the controver
sy—known as "the Colenso scandal"—cul
minated to the <to the orthodox) sti'l
greater scandal of a decision by the
privy council ordering the arrears of rev
enue to be paid over to the depo-ed
bishop and his annual stipend of £3,€03
from the resources of the colonial church
to be continued.
As the churchmen of Natal regarde i the
bishop of Natal &c technically a "con
tumacious heretic." who had been in
hibited from preaching in any pu'pit of
their church, it was necessary to provide
them with another bishop. This was ef
fected by the erection of the see of
Maritzburg And so, while the clerical
office of bishop was discharged in th it
part of the world by one prelate, an th r
received its revenues and enjoyed tiie
state recognition attached to it. At the
same time Dr. Colenso could not con
sistently with his natural character b3
an idle shepherd. He not only continued
his labors at the unfinished obnoxious
book, but went about doing gcod amoug
his friends the Zulus.
One of the last exertions of his influ
ence with the home government was
when, three years before his death, he
obtained specially kindly treatment for
that heroic barbarian foe of England,
Cetewayo, king of the Zulus. It was Dr.
Colenso who persuaded the color.ial of
fice to invite Cetewayo to visit the Briti h
capital. If Cetewayo, clothed in the
