His eldest girl has & very happy life as governess to Princess Ena of Battenberg, she is made quite one of the inner circle, for it is not vroluntary, but obligaâ€" tory that she takes all her meals and spends the evenings with Prinâ€" cess Henry. Lately she has been one of a jolly yachting party, of which some very interesting peopleâ€"Lord Kitchener, for instance!â€" have been members. A# she naively remarks in iA lees elevated sphere she would proâ€" bably ‘be treated with far less conâ€" gideration. Another interesting visitor on the Battenberg‘s yacht has been ihe Empress Eugenie, now pbhysically frail and worn, but bright and upâ€" toâ€"date in her ideas. %he is fond of yourg sotiety _ and is devoted to her â€" Godâ€"daughter, Princess Ena, wnhose unique personality and clever speeches delight the old lady. This is the longâ€"lookedâ€"for day for the Boer trio to meet the Colâ€" onial Secretary and Lord Kitch>onâ€" er. and great is the specualation afloat regarding the results.

Even furs are being shown and discussed ; but of them, later on. Some roughâ€"faced serges will be well worn for short useful tollettes, They look very pretty, worked with the new, rAâ€" ther coarse and looseâ€"looking emâ€" broidery done in wools, and worn with a kid or patent leather bo!t ih one of _ the shades used ; the little Russian blouse and a skirt, two inches off the ground, made with flat pleats fitted into a tight plain hipâ€"yoke is & good model. At. the back a few pleats go right up to the waist, that is, the yoke stops at each side »f the back. ‘Then for making â€" calls and afternoon wear there are the si kiest of zibelines and satin cloths in lovely soft shades, ‘"beige,‘ "modore," â€" and "barkâ€" brown,‘ and a true novelty is the cloth powdered with tiny spots in another color, say heliotrope On seal or chestnut brown, white on helioâ€" trope, pale blue on dark green. The epots are showered about irregularly, and the trimming consists of some of the lovely new passcmenteries, either in one shade or the two mixed toâ€" gether. These garnitures are very rich and effective and quite unlike any we have had. There are lovely devices â€" and motives done in silky braid and galons, with a shower of little balls or tassels falling in chainsg from them. These are used to go across the front panel perhaps (see eketch), and are repeated on the corsage and sleeves.

The stoles, flat, double, and about eight incbes wide, will be worn, and for between seasons there are some ruches of velâ€" vet, made flat and fmily like our tulle boas, with the daintiest oi nyuffâ€"pockâ€" cets to match, slung round the neck with a "nouvreau artâ€"chain." At Paris in Londonâ€"Earis‘ Courtâ€" there are marvels of loveliness being given away! Ail the {nscinating frocks and frills which have been #hown during the season in glass cagses are being sold off with lightâ€" ning rapidity, as the proprietors do Rot, of course, wish to cart them ‘xaick to their native place when the show closes, as soon it must. It is a yood chance for the country cousins who are now "doing" Westmingter Abhey in shoals, for in some of Eagland‘s rural dietricts such Parisian garâ€" ments wil} be in {fashion for long ag*s to come, unless indeed they are conâ€" sidered too daring and in advance of the times to be worn with safety ! My next letter will, I expect, go to you from the Forest of Fontaintleau, the district Joved to distraction by Milâ€" let, Corot, Daubigny, and so many painters of note. Aas! it has changed its aspect a good deal of late years, thankse to "Cook‘s Tours," â€" clectric trams, etc. But the lovely Palace, with ite host of art treasures _ and beautiful grounds, is there, and the glorious treer and wellâ€"kept roads and hostelries. The fall of the year is ite best season, too, and it should be full of beauty, natural and otherwige! So many smart Parisians run up and. down to it on their motors ind conches at this time, and. its hotels are so full of visitors from all parts, that I shall be disappointed . if I do not glean for you many items of inâ€" terest and amuscment. Soâ€"Au revoir, mes Amies! + Â¥ PRAAA mm TAAA NANAAAATARAA A @ "Surprising as it. may seem,‘" sald a woman who has 'ust returnâ€" ed from Newport, "the women who are best dressed are not the woâ€" men who are most consp cuous in, £oâ€" clety. â€" One finds better dreseing in places that are not so very smart socially than at Newport, and the reason is not difficuit to discover. Women at Newport are tco much occupied with oither things to deâ€" vote to the question ol dress the ibm(-)tmt of time necessary to excel in it. "I might as well say right here that the real leaders of socety who are constantly in the eyes of the public are not by any means the best dressed women. Others with nmso much money to spepd, but w more time to devote to dress, may be much more in accord with the standards of dressing in the best sense. "One need only to go to the races to realize that. The bestâ€"dressed women there will not be the richest or the most conspicuous socially. "Women whose t.me is taken up by society to the exclusion of nearâ€" ly everything else come to acquire a contempt for clothes. The gowns must be changed so many times a day that women acquire a contempt for them. " For the same reason the women ol the stage are rarely well dreseâ€" ed. Clothes are to them mere tools of trade. d "Sarabh Bernhardt wears any old thing, so long as it is loose, save when it is necessary for her to dress up. Eleanora Duse is about as indifferent and carries her contempt for dress even to the stago. When she awwas here the first time she arâ€" rived with such a lot of rags that her â€" managers had more gowns made for her here. "Maude Adams, who dresses we) enough on the stage when modern dress is required, is most indifferâ€" ent to her appearance ord‘narily in private life. Annie Russell is almost the best dressed ol any ol the serâ€" ious actresses of the stage. _ § mm y 4 "Anna Held in life looks almost the same so far as the consp.cuousâ€" ness of her drees goes, and Lillian Russol, who Greeses with great care off the stage, is reraely quite etrikâ€" ingly arrayed. She alfects quiet shades in her clotbhes and relies for contrasts on her bair and comâ€" plexion. But, as a rule, the woâ€" men of the stage come to look upon dress as nothing more than a part of their trade. * "so it is with the women of soâ€" clety who go in for it at all exâ€" tensively. They have to change their gowns so many times, to wear so many different kinds ol gowns in a day and to make so many changes for evening that they lose all interest in dress for its own sake. And when that bappens they are not going to be the best dregeâ€" ed women." & Borr ancestory 6 MUSTERED ON REVOLT.
