New Yoiik, Jan. 5. We aro told ,'jnst
now tluvt wo are iii an economical period
aa regards dress, and that tho lady who
can invent new ways to wear a few
clothes so that sho shall seem to have
unlimited quantities is the heroine of
her set.
We are gravely counseled by the
dressmaker to be economically elegant,
and how? Well, she says that fashion
tures, as well as small checks in the
colors mentioned. Red is worn Borne,
and so is light Havana brown, and for
dressy occasions they wear the same
I light and delicate shades and nice light
wools and silks that their elder sisters
do. But they are made extremely girl
ish and never low necked for American
girl?. No American girl wears a low
dress until sho is really "out."
No young girl under sixteen ever wears
a bonnet anywhere, or a velvet or bro
cade wrap or cloak. The hats differ lit
tle from those worn by young ladies and
children under twelve, partaking a little
of each.
The hair should bo worn in a long
braid until tho girl is about fifteen and
then tied up to fonn a catagan braid.
The front hair can be simply banged,
curled or combed plainly back.

THE AVAILABLE OOWN.
changes so rapidly that, basques being
oat, we mus take those basques, which
-really are but elongated waists after all,
and drape them around with a sort of
sash in the Louis XIII style, or if it is
preferred wo can make the skirt come
trp on the outside of the waist, thus mak
ing it round. In that case a little saah
drapery is necessary. , v
One dressmaker, who makes for the
very brownest part of the upper crust of
BOcietv, hits evolved what she calls the
available gown. The skirt is cut plain
gored" and trimmed around the bottom
aa suits the owner. It is desirable that
it should have some perpendicular trim
ming, which on the sides . raises to
let the adjustable train button on and
hide the buttons after. The train is
trimmed in a different manner from the
' front. Under the train is a plain full
plaited biick of tho same material, so
that when the train is off the dress is
walking length. The train fastens just
between tho shoulders, so as to hang
VVatteau fashion, and has a little rosette,
tinder which are two stout hoops, which
fasten to strong eyelets.
The corsage is so arranged that it can
be low or high in tho neck, as one may
or may not remove the chiffon gimp.
If tins plan were to be developed for a
married lady, it would be better to have
the corsago of the same material as the
ekirt and trimmed to correspond. Ad
justable trains have always had a useful
place in a lady's toilet, and it seems to
me that tins is a good plan to work by
It would require rather rich and stately
looking material to look well for this
costume.
With this gown a long wrap of shot
velvet or velours du nord or of brocade
would b: unliable, but no jacket, coat
or eb.cn. So taking it all around,
unleeo the lat.y has a selection of velvet
or fcrcciid" wrnps on hand to choose from,
it wouldn't be such an economy.
Pelerines of cloth bound with hand
some f.ir on.iach of their Bupfrposed
capos are very dressy and handsome, and
make a rich aud elegant wrap for anyone
from grandmother down to little peach
blossom.
There pre many varieties of the peler
ine. One of the most popular is that
stylo wovn by the young girl in the cen
ter of the picture. The capes comedown
to the wr.it line, and the collar and lap
els are of fur, while the rest of the gar
ment is like an ordinary loose coat.
Some call these capelinos and some pel
erines, but r.:ry are equally warm and
stylish, called by either mime.
During the pa.st decade mon attention
has been paid to snitablo costumes for
girls from twelve to sixteen than ever
before. For plump little ones there are
hundreds of diiTerent fancies, and for
older ones whose figurs are developed
there is no end to the designs, but until
lately the growing girl was not provided
with raiment designed to hide her lack
of figure or to make the most of tlio
slender grace :f youth.

Of garments that are suitable for them.
The dress skirts have an arrangement of
trimming that distracts the eye from un
due slimness, and the waist is draped in
looeo folds, with deep nifties or lerthes;
fashes, bows and full vest also are de
voted to them. The Eton jacket is a
dainty and favorite style. The Figaro
jacket and the baby waist over a guinipo
are pretty and often worn. Plaid, with
lapels of velvet, with foot bands or per
pendicular trimming, are all suitable for
them for nice home or school gowns.

Special Correspondence.
Chicago, Jan. 5. The women man
agers of the World's fair still hold un
disputed sway xn the big Rand-Mcally
building on Adams street. Many 6f the
other important departments controlled
by the dominant sex have been removed
to Jackson park, and during the zero
weather that has been prevailing of late
Director General George B. Davis, Pro
moter Moses P. Handy, Chief of Con
struction Daniel H. Bnrnham and others
of the heads of departments, with the
rank and filo of the army of attaches
that are subject to their direction and
control, have found it necessary to put
on an extra comforter, equip thomselvos
with ear muffs and respirators and give
the collars of their overcoats a pull up
ward about their necks before starting
for Jackson park, where, unobstructed
by the labyrinth of skvscraping build
ings that help to protect the pedestrians
in the center of the city, the chilling
blasts from the northern peninsula, rush
ing down Lake Michigan, strike land
just thereabouts and are free to carom
around at their own sweet will.
And so it is that with headquarters in
the conter of the city, with steam heat.
electric lights and a restaurant on the
floor below, and all the other adjuncts of
a modern office building, the ladies or
rather, as they prefer to call themselves.
tne women of the World s fair are en
joying just now something of a more
comfortablo time of it than their male
associates. And here they will continue
to hold court until the frost and the
snow have given way before the balmy
winds of gentle spring and the ice has
disappeared from the placid bosom of
Lake Michigan. Then the ladies will
make a dicker with the captain of one of
the numerous boats that will be plying
between the Lake park arid the White
City, and their morning and evening
trips upon the water, to the tuneful mu-
kBic of the lute, and the harp, and maybe
a piano, if room can be found for one in
the cabin, will tinge the daily coming
and going with the fragranoe of a ro
mance on the Venetian canals. Fortu
nate indeed will be those of the mascu
line gender, should there be any, that
are privileged to accompany them.
And a busy hive of women it is. We
are rapidly drifting away from the fos
silized idea that women are not fitted for
any part or parcel of business affairs:
that they are of the household, and that
their place should bo in the household. If
only the scenes and doings day by day of
the suite of offices within which the busi
ness of this department is conducted could
be uncovered and held up before the gaze
of the civilized world the drifting would
be still more rapid
The national legislature made no mis
take when it endowed the women with
supreme authority to manage their own
affairs, and the women propose to vindi
cate the confidence that was thus reposed
m them and to justify tho most signal
recognition of their sex that has yet been
given by any nation or people. Just as
the Woman's building was the first of
11 the structures at the White City to
receive its roof and to be prepared for
its contents, so tho women will be the
first in the van in all the detail and ram
ifications of the receiving and installing
of exhibits and the first to announce
that, so far as they are concerned, every
thing is in decency and good order for
that bright May morning when Grover
Cleveland, by the grace of God, will
touch tho electric button, the wheels of
tho machinery will begin to revolve, and
the Columbian exposition will have
passed through all its preparatory stages
into a fixed and actual existence.
The women of nearly every state and
territory in tho Union and of nearly
every foreign monarchy and republic
are in constant communication with this
unobtrusive department unobtrusive
because it is doing a great work and
making little noise about it. It has only
three rooms, furnished with nine desks,
presided over by nine women from as
many states, but it is the center around
which is just now revolving the patriotic
impulse's of the women of many lands.
Here in the daily mails come reports
from American queens and foreign
queens queens of the republic and
queens of nations by virtue of their
royal lineage. Every envelope has its
Btory of success; every visitor and Sec
retary Susan G. Cooke is sometimes
called upon to give audience to hundreds
of them in a single day is brimful Of
enthusiasm.
Around the secretary's den are ar
ranged over two score specimens of the
most artistic carvings in wood that per
haps have ever been gathered together.
Each one represents a commonwealth,
each its respective forestry, each is the
handiwork of a woman. One that at
tracts the most attention testifies to the
genius of a girl who is hardly yet out of
Bhort skirts. These are to form the
wainscoting of the assembly room of the
Woman's building, and no matter how
numerous or valuable or ingenious the
collective exhibits on the floor below
the American "woman will be able to
point to the wainscoting above and to
say to her foreign sisters with exulta
tion and with pride, "See what the handi
work of our maidens has brought forth."
