(Copyright, MM, by American PreM Aseocl*- tlon.] . Ik always pleases us just a little to know •ow the women we admire so much on the Stage look when at home or on the street, and it come? with a shock of pleasant sur­ prise when we discover that actresses are not careless or dowdy at home. Pretty Annie Pixley at home is the neat- «Ht. and most tasteful of women, and her •hapely hands are always busy with some bit of Hewing. The otherday I was in to see l»er and noticed the quiet elegance of her flown. It was a plain, seven gored skirt of mouse colored corduroy, with buttons set mond center. It was neat and trim, and there wa* not a sign of disorder about it. I could go on with a long list, but it is fcjarcely necessary. The actresses of this country, at least, are a self respecting body of women, and therefore they wear their prettiest gowns for themselves. A message came for me the other (lay from a prominent importer, saying that there was something new for me to see. What do you suppose it was? Why, about a million dollars' worth of shawls, and there were not so very many of them either. They cost all the way from $500 to 11,500 apiece. They are India shawls and cost at the rate of $100 a pound or more. They are the same as those worn by our great-great-grandmothers, and theirs be­ fore them, for the fashion never changes in India shawls. They are worn or not, just as caprice seizes the fair women, but an India shaw) is always a magnificent thing, richer and more valuable than any fur ex­ cept perhaps sable and real black fox. Some of these have black centers, some white, some red, and the patterns labori- i ously worked out vary also, some being ; arabesques atid others the standard palm fOm AMATEUR SINGERS. fit* Advantage* of glncteg Over Other A«f •ompltshmenta--Mistake* to B« Avoid Good singing has a great ad van over other accomplishment*. It giyei the greatest amount of pleasure to others, and, as a rule, is * never failing source of delight to the singer. It ii also an exercise which is so beneficial to the lungs that it has been proved beyond all doubt that many persona with weak chests have been permanently strength, ened by a careful and judicious use of the vocal organs. We may here obi a ve that the practice of singing, particularly in the case of young children, should bi insisted upon by parents, as, although there may be no evidence of any disease of the lungs >n them, yet by the daily practice of vocal exercises their lings are invigorated and rendered healthier, and many chest complaints which might have developed in the coarse of time are thus warded o?t. It is a great mistake for women who wish to become good singers tf¥\indllge in the pernicious habit of tight lacing leaf, with the fcolorsso ingeniously mingled j It is a matter of fact that nothing can ill one.

L. along the right side over the pocket place. | There was an Eton jacket, with pointed | fronts and modest re vers, opening over a l> Vest of pale blue surah. There were a wrinkled belt of corduroy and moderate '* gigot sleeves. This was a quiet gown, but * one remarkable for its neatness and ele- c. gance. Her splendid jet black hair was "V leathered up in a knot on t he top of her head. A few Sundays ago the newly discovered beauty, Miss Caroline Miskel, wore at a (<1 quiet dinner at home a velutina gown of J pale lilac shotted with gold, which showed f . Only in faint gleams. The waist was draped richly in Marie Antoinette style. The I Sleeves were double puffs of velvet. Across the bust was a piece of lace outlined with fold thread. The skirt was plain, except >r a double ruffle of the velvet, which sur- founded the skirt and reached up to the knees on the right side, where it was fas­ tened under a bow. Another was set on Hphe bottom. : Her rich, red gold hair was gathered loosely in front and back and all brought »P to the top of her head in a quaint high knot. This is a style that is fast coming into favor and is very becoming to some •nd a very ugly one Indeed to others. Of an afternoon Miss Miskel wears a delicate And dainty apple green crepon, lavishly trimmed with white lace and green rib* Sons, a shade or so paler than the crepon. This is also swathed around the waist like the pretty gray gown she wears on the /•> Stage as Ruth, the minister's daughter. % Lillian Russell generally dresses very tl&inly on the street, but there are times 'hen she goes along with a gown fit for an jjj.-, amprere. I saw her walking along Fifth avenue only the other day in a superb green v- Velutina gown. The green was just that v , ,l toft shade of olive that harmonizes so well * . < frith a. fair complexion, and it was under- •hot with salmon pink. The pile of the Velutina was so heavy that It was but rare- "f v.-,|y. the pink showed up through its folds, but when it did the effect was ex­ quisitely pleasing. The skirt had three ^ fuffles of the velvet, one, a little wicker than 't: the other two, at the bottom; the other / two set higher up on the skirt. There was 'i - e long military cape of the same, lined with Salmon pink satin. There were one deep ' , I'sprung" cape and one gathered stole cape, . lioth bordered with real sable. A small j?',-.'1"itpat of green felt with two quills of deep ; fed completed this very elegant costume. !r In her home Lillian Russell wears loose. \• graceful gowns with quantities of lace and >ns, and they are always in the most cate and artistic tints rather than col- Artistio everything is around her, jmdshe ism© mean artist herself.

Pretty flower faced Annie Russell is an­ other model in the way of home attire. She as been long an invalid, but now the pub­ ic can lay in a new stock of handkerchiefs, , |>s she is soon to begin to play again. The ^ Ibther day she presented her lovely self, j ' , without an instant's waiting, in a light < | i heliotrope cloth gown with a straight , .1 '"jfekirt trimmed with three narrow rows of J-L --#ur, each headed by two soutache braids in bronze Bilk. The waist was round and had && & belt formed of three lines of gold braid.

Well, these magnificent shawls will be offered for this winter for those who want something entirely in keeping with the present styles in gowns and bonnets. They will doubtless be worn doubled into a tri­ angle as they were of old, and very happy will she be who gets one, and still happier she who has one laid away, for she can use the money one would cost for something else, and thus practice economy, which is very necessary these hard times. Among the other novelties of the week, I noted a new velvet stamped or woven into a crepe pattern. There was shown me a line of these in every color, but the most elegant was the black, which showed up beautifully in the crape effect, some of the shadows formed by the crapes looking al­ most like burnished steel. The two toned velvets and velutinas will be seen every­ where, the new ribbed two toned effects be­ ing scarcely as popular as that with a plain surface through which the underlying color shows as it folds and moves. Velutina has gained a solid foothold as one of the richest and most serviceable of winter dress • be more injurious to the respiratory or- j gans than to compress them into a more | limited space than nature has already provided for them. The practice of tight ! lacing makes it utterly impossible for the j singer to inflate the lungs to their fullet4. extent, which ia absolutely necessary for ! the proper development of the voice. : The Housewife, authority for the forego* ; ing, has the following to say concerning ! the selection of a song: In the choice of a song the student ! should be guided by the sentiment con- j tained in the words and the beauty of j the music. Due regard, however, must | be paid to the compass and capabilities i of her voice, and she should be careful I to avoid all nervous habits, such as beat- : ing time with the hands or feet, moving backward and forward, etc., but she must acquire an easy and natural atti­ tude.

The ground is in brown and black. The material looks warm and yet light. There are some new herringbone cheviots, very pretty and making up handsome tai­ lor gowns with & little very narrow braid. Tailor gowns are stitched and rarely trimmed otherwise. A single line of braid around the skirt is seen sometimes, but the most stylish of them have not even that, and where a waist can be made without risible means of fastening it is done so. Suits to match are very stylish now, and Jackets of cheviot--gray, brown, blue and black--are made in this style. The skirt is usually plain or sparingly trimmed, and the waist is snug and simple. The coat is tight in front or loose, as the wearer pre­ fers, but the back should fit closely. The skills to the coat should reach nearly or quite to the knees and be very full in the back. Large buttons of horn or oxidized metal are set in front and sometimes on the back just below the waist line. These jackets are finished as best suits the wear* er, but large lapels and ripple, worth, spring and umbrella collars are worn, sometimes bound with fur and sometimes not, as preferred. This season everything will be bordered or trimmed with fur, even the hats. Many of them have a border of fur around the edge, a tiny animal's head and a bird rest­ ing comfortably together on top for trim­ ming. Fur of almost every known species is used. That of the brown bear makes a handsome garniture, and the despised skunk furnishes many a lady with elegant trimming for her cloak under the name of alaska sable. Red fox fur and real chin­ chilla are both seen this season. The chin­ chilla fur has been almost forgotten for years, but will now doubtless have a run. Seal military etipes will be eftener seen than any other seal garment. Seal costs $1 an inch this fall, and so a medium sizea seal military cape is worth, or sells, from $300 to $300. Moire astrt£kban, marten, monkey skin, mink and beaver are all made into box capes and military capes. A few sacks are seen, but they are much shorter than before. There is a beautiful crape for dancing in rainbow stripes, with gold thread in­ woven to look like stars. This is semi- transparent, and the rainbow colors are woven lengthwise in delicate and beautiful fthftHoa. There are also several new varie­ ties of colored crapes in the same deep crinkle that makes the courtauld crape &o famous, and these are for evening anc gowns and for combinations. MATE LBBOT. Tachion In Table ZJn*n. • •Pw*ee each year in the larger oMAes the shops advertise a sale of household linens, when linens a little out of style are marked down, and bargains are to be secured by the housewives who want j good table linen rather than the very j latest thing. Such will take notice, says the New York Times, that as "all over" patterns are no longer first choice, hav­ ing been superseded by the medallion centers with two borders, it is possible to get beautiful designs in pin and polka dot flower-de-luce and other acceptable "all overs" at very moderate rates. When it can be afforded, the Irish dou­ ble damask, which can be ironed on both sides, is recommended, for, as ev­ ery housekeeper knows, the friction of ironing the table linen is its most seri­ ous wear. It will be noticed that lunch cloths with napkins to match in gay borders are much marked down, a sure sign that they are not covering fashionable tables. They can still, however, do most acceptable service and are an accept­ able bit of color at well laid tables. Milady of Murray Hill takes kindly to the silk and linen damask in solid color and white for her luncheon table- mikado yellow, pale pink and other shades--the preference being given to the first named for washing quality. The newest of these damasks have hem­ stitched edges on cloth and napkins. BODRBOH&T PURE BYE Shipped pure and unadulter­ ated direct from the distillery.
