"Silk" this winter often means satin,
Bcft and exquisite, a fabric for beautiful
women. And peculiarly for those who
art not, to render them so. The makers
o! liberty satin have come upon a mate
ria. fulfilling the requirements of art and
fashion. It is fitted to survive in fact
and theory.
The most elegant of the separate waists
for winter wear are done from liberty
satin in white or colors. The soft, cling
ing quality of the weave adapts Itself to
oecoration from lace and chiffon, even
fur.
With each mldseason reaction from the
gn\ colors in vogue usually expresses it-
Bell in combinations of black and white.
This winter is no exception. An attrac
tive mode of the hour shows the union in
evening gowns and in waists of white
Balin, black chiffon and black Jet. A
fitted piece of jet from which hangs a
fringe outlines the half low neck of a
pretty bodice of white liberty satin. The
sleeves are from black chiffon, ruched at
two-inch Intervals. And the result is a
becoming waist, which may be worn with
a suitable black or the white satin skirt
that many women find of much evening
service.
Black and white striped satin produce
the dashing bolero which forms the upper j
portion of a theater waist. Girdles of j
cherry-colored panne and turquoise biue j
velvet are worn at will. This model is a i
sightly variation of the black and white
fancy current now, and never quite out.
There is a liking this season for a dis
tinct "note" in the bodice, just above the
beit line. A waist carefully designed, to
be worn with a smoke-gray cloth skirt,
shows a combination of lighter gray sat
in, dull gray beads, and, for the "note,"
a narrow girdle effect from smoke-gray
and white velvet.
Perhaps the readiest way to vary a full
dress evening waist is to change the color
of the knot of artificial flowers worn at
the left shoulder. One of white poppies is
suitable for the high light on a black
pequined costume. Another bouquet of
scarlet carnations serves instead of the
white popples ion occasion.
SIMPLE DESIGNS.
Simplicity in the design of the gown is
evident in some of the most effective of
midseason costumes. A cloth frock from
violet face-cloth, of the hue which com
bines so engagingly with turquoise blue,
is made with the inevitable train of the
afternoon dress, the current box plait at
the skirt back and a round waist. The
bodice overlaps the skirt binding neatly
in the style so much approved after the
blipshod effects resulting from a careless
union of skirt and waist only half con
cealed by a belt.
The skirt and waist are trimmed In
princess fashion, with black gimp, which
twists here and there to form wheels,
from whose centers depend wee tassela,
This is a revivial of a mid-century fash
lon.
Tassels then were .pftenest in a gay
color, contrasting with the gown, as
pink on green or blue on brown. Even
fold tassels were In fine vogue with satin
costumes.
Much of the effect from small 'tassels
as dress trimming depends upon their
b«lng heavy enough to vibrate from their
own weight. A tassel of fine silk has not
body enough to do this. Hence the
knowing choose such ornaments when
made from heavy silk cord.
The tucked chemisette with this waist
Is from shimmering turquoise blue lib
erty satin. The same material, hem
stitched, forms a jaunty knot out from
under the lapels of the waist. Consider.
i'\fi it apart from the skirt, notice how
like many of the silk waists is this one
of cloth.
A New York merchant recently has
Fhown quantities of wash waists. The
moterials are largely organdies and their
(■■tuffs, in white, pink and white, and blue
nnd white. The white sort are combina
tion? of lace inserting and Hamburg em
brcidery, closely resembling the prettiest
of those worn last season. The sleeve?
all are long and pointed over the hands.
Cuffs do not appear on the best grades
cf "shirt waists. But they abound upon
all lesser varieties.
Collars on every new waist are h!?rher
than last year. There is something
slightly disturbing about the thought of
starched collars, pointed high just bo
hind the ears, for warm weather; but we
may become accustomed to the idea.
STYLES IN COIFFURES.
The rapid transition of the hair from a
knot In the middle of the head to a knot
at the top of the head is an interesting
thing in coiffures. The hair i3 now comb
ed straight up to the middle of the
pompadour; the back of the head, to be
stylish, must be as curved as the equa
tor. It is the most becoming hairdressing
to the greatest majority of women.
The pompadour, especially ntar the
cars, is no longer exaggerated and great
care must bo taken that there is no divis
ion between the sweep of the hair in
front and at the back of the ears. In
other words, don't let your ear point the'
way to a dividing line across the head.
The knot at the top of the head is very
small. It may be either oblong 1 or per
fectly round, but the entirely round knot
i.s preferred.
It' a woman has heavy locks the hair,
dresser v.lnds them around in the shape
of a saucer on the very top of the head.
The : ides are very fiat and the center
bulges up.
With this hairdressing a woman needs
something to catch up the short hair at
the back and the Jeweled brooch is neces
sary if the hairs arc very short; the new
and stylish thing is a snake or tortoise
shell, with a few prongs at either end.
The snake is not so definite as to be re
pulsive. In truth, I knew a girl who
wore one for a week before she realized
it was intended to represent a snake.
If any wave Is made In the hair at all
it must be exceedingly large, about three
inches apart and made with a large iron
tv.isted back and forwards In the hair.
Crimps are not tolerated. li a woman
must wear a soft fringe on her forehead
ehe may pull down a few stray curia

from the pompadour, very short ana* laid
in a semi-curl close to the forehead.
Women with high foreheads cannot
stand the pompadour, for It shows too
much white space above the eyes and
for them the hairdressers have a slight
pompadour woven to a Bilk cord. This
cord is pinned across the top of the head
as low on the forehead as wished.
One or two curls are brought down
frrm it and the woman's own hair Is
pompadoured over the temples and at the
sides. If she makes the side haira wave

PaRAsOLS FOR 1900.
Beantifal Sunshades That Come Only
In Jj»tn of One.
Those who mean to keep a finger on th3
capricious pulse of Df.me Fashion gaze
with pleasure upon her first expr:sslon in
parasols. For In parasols it's as it U
with everything else — you purcha e a new
thing immediately after it's opened, and
thereby prevent smaller dtale.s arid clev
er dressmakers from having days and
weeks in which to gaze at and copy its
little newnesses.
The early designs show a tendency to
rich simplicity, though for chiffony rigs
parasols will naturally be made to corre
spond. Here's the handsomest lace par
asol seen so far. It Is of duchesse lace,
over white satin. And if that were not
rich enough, the handle is made very at
tractive, of almost barbaric richness, In
deed. Tt is of gun metal, gay l / jtwo:eJ.
It !s the very parasol for summer if the
rich lace dresses are in a3 high favor as
they bid fair to be, and is marked $58.
There are such stunning coaching par
asols, the very daintiest being In pastel
tints. Heavy moire antique is the accept
ed fabric. Here's one in detail, price
$25. It Is of pastel blue moire antique,
of moderate size, simply rich and elegant,
you see. There's downright novelty in the
handle; to a depth of nine inches it is
neatly covered with mlroir velvet in pas
tel blue, though the velvet Is fairly lost
sight of in the liberal studding of cut
steel nail heads, which vary in size; all
are small, and some are but pin points,
set on as best shows the dainty design.
MIFF OF THE PERIOD.
Much Far Is Vsed to Keep Milady's
Fingers Warm.
This season witnesses a great improve
ment In the matter of muffs. The old
fas-hioned bag affairs were trimmed with
lace and violets and even perfumed, a
decided departure from the canons of
good taste. They Were of a small size,
and warmed the fingers perfunctorily;
the wrists were never covered unless bv
gloves or long sleeves. This foolish and
. misplaced finery lias given place to a
new and fashionable muff of generous
proportions. Both iiands, boths wrists
and part of the "forearm can be covered
by the plump cylinder, sofely lined with
satin and buoyant outside with fluffy,
long-haired fur. These muffs even look
larger than they are. on account of the
frequent choice of lynx, bear and fox
furs, instead of the smooth, close surface
of a short-haired fur. The muff of the
period has an eighteenth century look
about it. Sur-h are held In the fair hands
ot' the sitters of Sir Joshua Reynolds of
Goldsbcrough, or the French painters of
that period.
RANDOM NOTES ON MEN'S DRESS
The shops have much to offer in the way
of gloves, mufflers and stockings suitable
for winter pastimes. In one of the lead
ing New York shops there were seen last
THE ST. PAUL, GI,OBE, SUNDAY, JAKUAKT 14, 1900.
week the most gorgeous scarlet wool
gloves stitched In white silk. They made
a -very effective spash of color in the
show window, but it would be a brave
man who would purchase them. A species
of white glove waa offered for $1.60, while
the vivid kind were ticketed at $3. Another
Broadway haberdasher has been offering
suede gloves at 75 cents a pair. These
cheaper kinds of gloves have clasps, not
buttons. The latter is supposed to be the
mark of the last reigning fashion. Very
comfortable looking gloves are those made
from fur with the rough hair on the out
side. They oall to mind somewhat the
Biblical imposition practiced on the blind
Isaac The fur is said to be taken from
the back of the raccoon and the color is
a warm brown. These gloves are very
expensive. Others not bo High priced are
lined with lamb's wool and are just the
thing for sleighing or any of the winter
sports.
The" double-breasted white waistcoat for
evening wear is not seen as frequently
this winter as it was last. Some men are
even wearing single-breasted waistcoats.
The shops are filled with the white waist
coats, double-breasted, with gold and
enamel buttons, but so far they do not
seem to be very popular. It is very dif
ficult to get a ready-made white waist
coat which will fit. and unless It does, so
that there will be not the least wrinkle,
this garment is best discarded. The Fifth
avenue tailors charge from $15 to $20 to
make a waistcoat which they guarantee
will fit, but they always warn their cus
tomers against having the waistcoats
washed. Thus, they are such an expensive
luxury that few can afford them, as they
soil in a very short time. Even the ready
made ones never look the same after they
have once been through the hands of
the laundress.
The white tie for evening wear is never
starched, and It can be done up by a
careful laundress. Once it is starched and
ironed it is useless. The shape has not
altered this winter from last, and the
large, square end with a medium-sized
knot is the favorite. Although many
very clever imitations are placed on the
market It is impossible to make a ready
made bow look like one which you have
tied yourself.
* * *
Many of the shops are now showing the
new shirtings for spring. Some of these
are extremely pretty. The patterns which
will be most worn are med : um-sized
stripes up and down, instead of across,
on a light background. For Instance,
there are some very effective light b'ues,
with marine blue stripes. Again, there
are some rose pink shirts, which have not
only deep red "stripes, but a small pattern
figure of the darker shade, In design re
sembling a sunburst.
* ♦ ♦
The handkerchiefs of the winter are
plain white, with a narrow hem. Colored
handkerchiefs seem to have gone out of
fashion, although some of the shops are'
showing very pretty ones in blues, with
white hem. a little wider than the con
ventional pattern.
* * *
Mufflers are in white Bilk with po!ka
dots. There have been some very hand-
some ones from T^ondon in dark olive
green silk with small sky-blue figures.
• * *
The walking-stick of the day is of light
wood with a small crook. Very little si.
ver is employed upon it.
* * *
Sets in ebony for the tolet are preferred
by men to those in silver. The hair
brushes in such a set should be of ihe
military pattern. They may be with or
without monogram or coat-of-arms.
Ebony is extiemely durable, quiet in ef
fect, and lasts a lifetime.
• * »
In new ties the Somerset is one of the
lattst. It is of narrow sat!n in so:id col
ors. It is tied in a long narrow knot, and
is worn with deep all-around turndown
collars. Brown is one of the favorite
shades.
The turndown collar Is only worn wi:h
business suits. With a frock coat or an
evening coat a straight, standing collar '.a
correct. A few men, however, are wear
ing these turndown collars with lnformnl
evening dress, as, for example, the dinner
jacket. The black tie which goes with
this costume has square ends and is of
silk, not satin. It is tied in rather a small
loose knot. These tdes can be had at all
prices.
Oldest Clinrch.
The oldest building in the world that
has been uninterruptedly used for church
purposes is St. Martin's Cathedral, at
Canterbury, Eng. The building was
originally erected for a church, and has
been regularly used as a place for re
ligious gatherings for more than 1,500
years.

all kinds has advanced from 20 to 80 per cent since Sept. Ist last, but it's so. Conse

our policy with all manutactured articles is to sell them in season at what the public will
pay. Therefore, we

«imt O t P l e v, have b ? en talkln 8f 'or some lima
about the wearing of earrings, and they
ieaiiy seem to be In now. In the theater
the other evening a number of women
were -wearing diamond stud earrings, uiie
a pair of turquoise, close to her ears, and
some others small diamond drops. One
elderly woman wore a pair of black jet
balls, relics of earlier days, evidently.
The street cars show a good assortment
of earrings, chiefly diamond screws and
one woman the other day wore a pair of
rather large cluster diamond rings.
Some of the most charming little French
silk waists, the most attractive seen, are
simply made with no tucks, but a little
cu-s gn in a vine around the shoulders.
Ihe leaves of the vine in a waist of a
delicate shade, say of heliotrope, are set
in with silk of a rmle oom color and out
lined with embroidery. There is a smaller
vine also running down on ether side uf
the overlapping front, which is finished
with a fancy rmbroldered scallop »>dg t d
with tine real lace. The collar, which has
a narrow eosre turned over. j s a lso edged

Wash shirt waists are to be seen in tl-.e
shop windows, and look cold in this
weather. The white ones are made «f
fancy materials, many with plaids mil
stripes across rather than running up
and down. Some of the prettiest nrs
daintiest waists are made entirely of
white lace and fine Hamburg embroidery
insertions. They have collars which turn
over e little, edged with lace. Some have
broad lapels and others have bolero-like
pieces fastened in the side seams and
crossing the bust, fathered up with a
bow. These cost $15 and $16.

Some of the wool shirt waists that have
a more comfortable appearance at thl<»
time of the year are made of alternate
stitched boxplaits of plaid and plain ma
terial, with a tie of the plain material
edged with the plaid.

A very pretty girl, young, fresh, and a
brunette, wore an attractive wrap to the
theater the other evening. It was on-' of
the half-length capes of a briffM red vel
vet, with shirred chiffon of fhe same
color over It. The chiffon fell from thr»
yoke in long, deep points, shirred ami
rd fired with ruffles. The yoke was of the
shirred chiffon. The outer part of the
collar was shirred lik? the vokc?. but
shaped and stiff, while inside was more
of the shirred chiffon -ruffled in to give a,
fluffy appearance.

The same srirl wore inside the collar 1»
her gown a bit of soft tulle tied in a big.
soft, flaring bow at the back.

Pale blue in some way never seems a
really appropriate color for an older'y
woman. It hard'v has character enousrlt.
and does not frive her sufficient dlrnlty

One middle-aged matron wore a toner,
black satin coat edged with a ruffle of
