Stunning Mrs. Richard /Warding jpavis
NEW YORK, June 7.-It Is a year of
disillusions a* well as of illusions.
W» have «Mseover*d that Richard Hard
ing Davis la growing too stout to be an
iao\ and that Charles Dana Gibson Is be
coming altogether too fond of society to
I*s interesting. Ah m«! What fools those
mortals b<» to allow themselves to top
plo oft their pedestals!
But not so 'with Mrs. Davis and Mrs.
Dana! The former Is tho most abso
lutely stcoJl girl In Qothars, fine la pos*
and addtet»d to lovely costumes In gray
and dr&uas In soft dinging black, with
J>k«uy <al swish, and perfume to them.
Mrs> Gibson Is of a heavier mold,' bat
news the less Admired. She dresses like
a Gibson girl always—narrow bands of
sal on white g^was In the summer
time, and roses upon her corsage In win
ter. Always somethlns to catch tha «»y©
—like the 3!irl m the pletcre book.

"We aie to have and to hold strange
things this sacmmer. not.ths least stranga
cf tn<Ka being & new fan. •
This is actually divided into two ea*
trgjae*. tha tiny Ensure fan,, which Is
the daintiest little thins yoa ever saw,
and whic±x must bo waved by grasping
ft la the middJa and lifting the elbow
hisfis, with T3gz>ran3 strops, and the very
lirgs fan, -which is moved by the hand
■which rests in tha lap.
One fen recently carried at a very ele
gant luncheon actually measured a yard,
across when unfurled. It was in silk,
painted m imitation of a Japanese fan.
There were circles of red and circles of
gold. and a dear little maid of the Or
ient tripped lightly over aIL
This fan was called an Oriental fan,
and -was worn by a girt in gray, a de
mure mis^ whose gray sleeves hang In
great ijagoda shapes, showing a dazzling
red lining beneath, while the vest of her
gown was In bright red. and the same
blood color was revealed In the stock and
belt.
The little fans are often home-made,
upon an old foundation of sticks and hanr
Jlos. One always has a skeleton In the
drawer, if not in the closet, and upon this
skeleton one can build up a fan that
is preity to a degree. Let the basis be a
bit of silk to match your best waist, and
if you have no oth^r trimming use a bit
of shirred chiffon. That is the way the
Frenchwomen do, tnd their empire fans
are the real article, famous the world
over. A few bright butterflies are ap
plinued in the chiffon.
It is a new frivol in fans to attach
butterflies to the top or under the edge
in such a way that they dance with the
fan. A very short ypiral under the
body of the butterfly causes the merry
night. Four of these little creatures,
in graduated sizes, flitted above a fan
waved by a pretty actress the other even
ins? at an a ftor-theater supper party.
The ping-pong dinner party is tlie latest
thing. The guests come to dinner, and
after the feast, which is not a very long
one, they repair to the drawing room to
wait until the dinner table is cleared.
They all come back to the dining room,
the net is spread and the ping-pong game
begins.
The gown to wear is a costume as ele
gant as possible, but it has its peculiari
ties, and differs from other dinner gowns.
The ping-pong d:nner party dress is not
decollete.
Its sleeves are not very short, elbow
length being in the best of taste.
The waist, wh:le not a loose one, is
built upon lines that will admit o* stoou
ing to pick up the balls.
The skirt is of sweep length, but is not
a trained skirt.
The dress combines prettiness and util
ity, for unless one can fly around after
the ball one might as well give up, for
j ing-pong is a vigorous exercise, and no
mistake.
They are moving the tables out upon
the piazza, and playing it under the
honeysuckles.
Embroidery enters so largely into the
scheme of the ping-pong dress, as well
irery other dress of the season, that
It is difficult to overestimate its beautify
ing effects upon a gown.
The latent cry in embroidery is the em
broidered cuff. Have you seen the
French sleeve, which is rather small at
the shoulder and grows gradually wider
until the elbow dwells in a pronounced
bag. Well, this is the sieve approved by
all the up-to-date French women. It is
the r.leeve made popular in the very se
lect circle in which th« Loubets, the Casl
mir-Periers and the ultra-political stt
move.
Below the elbow this French sleeve
takes on a cuff. It is a long, narrow cuff,
and suggests a tunnel through which the
hand is thrust. Its feature is its length
and its snugness. It is not as comforta
ble as the flowing sleeve, but it is very
fashionable. Then comes the flare
around the hand.
This long cuff is embroidered heavily
and the most exquisite jeweled designs
are introduced into it. There are great
flowers and there are trailing vines which
finally stray off and are lost in the folds
of the upper sleeve.
To be in the swirr», or out of it one
must have the washable belt. It is the
pretty caper to knit such a belt yourself
choosing a turquoise blue crochet silk
and making it in a shell stitch, pretty
but very iirm. The close crochet stitch
sometimes used for men's neckties, is the
one that is most often seen.
The belt should be only two inches wide
and its ends should be completed with
metal belt tips, such as can be purchased
or that can be taken off any old belt
A pretty buckle is now added.
A stock, exactly to match the belt.

must now be knitted, and it must be
fastened in the front with a buckle. You
will see sets similar to this in the shops.
It is very chic to make a belt of linen,
like one's shirtwaist. Any harness-mak
er will supply it with holes, and one can
use the harness buckle -if one prefers it
to the jeweled one. This brass harness
buckle is quite the thing for the washable
belt, for it slips on and off and does its
work well. A smaller one is used upen
the stock.
The ladicis of Gotham are all making
themselves linen belts and stocks, and
those of the more industrious type an?
embroidering them, selecting the neatest
of little daisy and rose designs, and de
signs that are neither daisy nor rose, but
are pretty to look at just the same.
A new feature has appeared In the
world of trimtmings—the tassel. It is used
in many small ways, which can best be
described by likening them to the use of
the fur tail last winter. Wherever and
however the fur-tail was used, even so Is
the tassel seen nowadays.
A bunch of tassels decorates the ends of
a pretty tulle boa which was fastened
aiound the neck of a Newport belle.
Another and more daring youn? lady
wears tassels from the side of her hat, in
Turkish fez manner. Still another wears
them in little bunches down the front of
feer silk coat.
Skirts are trimmed wiw tassels put on
the skirt in panel fasnion, groups of
three appearing down the side of the
skirt. It may be that this will be an in
novation and a welcome one, but as yet
the modistes are taking to th# tasselated
gowns slowly and are using them as trim
mings very sparingly.
Another feature, to be noted in the
early, dress of summer, is the appearance
of the green feather. This decoration is
in the brightest green you ever saw, a
green that shades- into yellow. It is a
brilliant, almost metallic, gre3n, and the

harbor any Improper Characters. A go 3d many Im
proper Characters came around and sized up the Lay-
Out and then blew.
It was a sure-enough Boarding House, such as
many of our Best People know all about even if they
won't tell. All they had to do to get the Center Table
ready for Ping-Pong was- to take off the Caster.
The Landlady was doing .what she could to discour
age the Beef Trust, but she carried a heavy line of
Oatmeal. She had Oatmeal to burn and sometimes she
did it: And she often remarked that Spinach had Iron
in it and was gTeat for the Blood. One of her pet
Theories was that Rice contained more Nutriment than
could bo found in Spring Chicken, but the Boarders al
lowed that she never saw a Spring 1 Chicken.
In the Cast of Characters were many of the Old Fa
vorites. There was the lippy Boy with the Williams
and Walker Shirts who knew the Names of all the Ball-
Players and could tell when there was a good Variety-
Show in Town.
Then there was the other kind with a straw-colored
Mustache and a prominent Adam's Apple who was very
careful about his Pronunciation. He belonged to a So-
cial Purity Club that had a Yell. His Idea of a Hurrah
was to get in a Parlor with a few Sisters who were
under the Age Limit and sing the Bass Part of "Pull
for the Shore."
Then there was the Old Boarder. He was the Land-
Mark. Having lived in Boarding-Houses and Hotels
all his Life, he had developed a Grouch that enveloped
him like a Morning Fog. He had a Way of turning
Things over with his Fork, as if to say, "Well, I don't
know about this." And he never believed anything he
saw in the Papers. He said the Papers printed those
things just to fill up. The Circassian Princess that
brought in the Vittles paid more attention to him than
to anyone else, because if he didn't get Egg on his
Lettuce he was liable to cry all over the Table Cloth.
Then there was the chubby Man who came in every

fashionable hat has three of these bright
green plumes upon it.
They are fastened at one side and should

Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr. wears a
hat in black with a facing of white, a
modest hat. It is rather tall and of ir
regular shape, the sides not correspond
ing in outline. The top is flat, with a
high plateau effect. One side has an
indentation in the straw, and here is
a big black straw ornament; and corn
right one always, or possibly a deep
gray, but as for white or any othet 1
ing out from under it are the three bright
green feathers, which trail and tower
and nod upon the bat.
In handling such brilliant colors as
yellowish green and that new craze, sun
yellow, one should be very careful and
select the proper shade. Black is the
color, it should be chosen with prayer
and worn with care.
The French are continually trying to
send something new. A skirt which ia
said to have been designed for a New
port leader, and which would certain
ly become her dignified style well, is in
gray cloth, in a light shade, an oyster
gray color.
The front is one long expanse of cloth,
unbroken from the belt to the wide hem,
where it is well stitched in many little
groups, to give the skirt a stiffness.
Each side of the front breadth the skirt
is cut oft" at about the knee length, and
all around the back. There is a drop
skirt of gray silk, and this outer cloth
s-kirt is stitched to it. The silk skirt
flares eleg-antly at the ba<?k, and is fin
ished with a flounce of silk set beneath.
It is very long, and sweeps the floor
with i.he most charming curves imagin
able.
The waist is a shirtwaist in silk, trim
med with a narrow design in cloth,
stitched to the silk. There are deep cloth
cuffs, and there is a cloth sailor collar,
or a skelefon saiw collar, less heavy
than the real.
The skeleton coatC are more and more
fashionable. They are made of lace and
different kinds of Istge.are used, the Irish
crochet lace being fey far the most pop
ular. The coat may be short or long,
but It should certainly be a feature of
the wardrobe.
The lace coat, while it has an elegant
sound, ia not necessarily very expen
sive. It is net a dgfficjlt coat to make,
and as lace by the yard can be cheaply
bought, the difficulties are soon over
come. Any long coat pattern will do.
A lace coat made for the Saratoga piaz
zas—always a feature of that resort—is
cut very long and very straight, upon
the order of the English racing coat.
There is a yoke of white taffeta with a
sailor collar of taffeta, turning back over
the yoke. Then comes the long, straight
lace coat part, open in front and swing
ing wide. Wide streamers of taffeta tie
at the bust, while th* ends float.
A skeleton coat of black coral lace,
cf any of the novelty laces, is a very
good thing to have in the wardrobe, as
it can be slipped on over one's old taffe
ta or half-worn chiffon or Louisine
waists, carrying with it an indescribable
Air of elegance.
The hat to wear with, the skeleton coat
is the erin hat, or the hat of very op=n
straw, the skeleton hat.
They are striving to get summer hats
entirely without trimming. One lovely
model is the bowl-shaped hat, with a
rim that turns up all the way around
straight up, almost as tall as the crown
of the bowl itself. It i 3 trimmed with
a single long quill, which is drawn
through the brim in two places and bent
a little so that it dots not stick out in
a too aggressive manner.
It is considered the smart thing to
own a hat or two that can be wet with
out death to good laoks. Some of the
grass hats not only have this virtue, but
are absolutely benefited by being drench
ed. The complexion of the hat is cfioan
ed by the bath.
A hat sported by a pretty girl on Witth
avenue one showery day was in black
open straw, with a wide up-turning brim
in a rough, grassy-looking straw in i; s
natural color. With th s she wore a tai
lored g^own in straw-colored cloth.
The skirt was as plain as a skirt cou'fi
be, without as much as a flare flounce
the necesary flare being managed by t-e
way the skirt was cut, not by the addi
tion of a flounce.
The coat was a tight-fitting one a lit
tie longer than the wast. It was a lilt c
on the Norfolk order, for there were two
plaits in the back that were stitched on
and that tapered a little toward the waist
line. They were wide apart at the .=ho»l
--ders. but at the belt they almost met.
In frcnt there were two plaits arrangid
in the same manner. Big yellow horn
buttons secured this coat.
The fancy for the pretty blouse coat is
growing. It has many advantages, one
being that one need not wear a fuH shirt
waist b heath it. A Mouse in fern-green
cloth is secured down the front with
gun-metal buttons. The nock is low all
the way arounj, and finished by a de;p
turn-over collar that suggests the sailor,
though its outline is irregular. With this
the comfortable woman who owns it
wears a yoke of the prettiest an.] heavi
est tan lace with a tall wired stock of
the same. These lace yokes arc deep In
front and are fastened around the bit
with narrow ribbons. Their use i 3 uni
versal.
While one rioes not crave sham in any
form, this pretty little vest front is creep
ing its way into the foremost ranks, and
one will certainly see it with the blazer
coat, with the Russian blouse.and with
the little coat that just frills below the
belt line.
The Eton and bolero demand the full
shirt waist, for they are short and are
little mere than armholes in many of the
newest designs that have been seen.

er's window twicte:s a few words about ■
the new sleeves. This well posted little }
authority says that sleeves will continue i
to be loose somewhere., and that all I
sleeves will be fas.i-onable that boast a :
bagginess at one spot or another.
The full slc-png shGulder which they
are trying to bring in is produced by
the sleeve that has pin tucks at the
shoulder and a full big at the wiists.
But this sleeve is so very trying to the I
figure. That may keep it from being
popular.
As long as the sleeve bags somewhere,
be It at the elbow, the wrist, or even at
the s'uoul^er, it is all right, and ycu can
wear it with a feeling of serenity as of
one. who is in the style and knows it.
While sleeves grow dressier and larger,
baggier and more and more difficult to
understand, skirts become more simp'e,
more elegantly finished, more svelte,
more lengthening to the figure.

Chopping to be done and much trotting
about from place to place, the click of
my lady's smart military heels and the
tap of her dull-leather, pointed-toed,
buckled, colonial shoe have a cheery
and; active sound. But these "picture
shoes" inflict torture upon her often, just
as ugly shoes might do. Perhaps it is
the heat "of the spring days that causes
th-o new shoe to pinch the foot in some
unexpected spot. This can be alleviated,
and often completely cured. by placing a
cloth wrung out in boijing water over
the portion of the shoe that hurts. The
shoe must be kept on the foot till the
damp heat has sufficiently stretched the
leather. If necessary, repeat the process
several times. -.
