If one is tired of the skirt and Jacket form, apretty travelling or street suit may be made by a

combination of a plain and fancy wool. The gownresponsible for this suggestion has a skirt of brownwool made with a stitched yoke that flares Into the"bonne femme" skirt. The bodice is laid all aboutin box pleats, and is made of a brown wool dottedwith white. A deep collar, civ in scallops, coversthe shoulders, and this and the choker are of thebrown wool trimmed with stitched bands of whitevelvet. There Is a narrow draped belt of white.

EFFORT MADE TO KEEP THE LOOSE BLOUSEThe dressmakers seem to be attempting again

the introduction of the loose blouse. There are

pleats In the back. The blouse has revers facedWith velvet and edged with lace. These frame avest of white lace, nnd over this n scarf of blackvelvet makes the form of cravat referred to. Thesecond gown Is a spring street suit of lavenderwool, made with "bonne femrr.o" skirt and shortbolero. Under the Jacket Is a low cut. mannishwaistcoat of blue, lavender and white brocadedsatin. The finely pleated chemisette Is of whitelawn, and over this Is a cravat oi lavender Bilk,with the knot tk>d on the bust and with ends tackedInto the waistcoat. This cravat. Itmay be well toadd, differs from tho loos** bow in vogue last sum-mer by reason of its forming the choker band aswell as the knot and ends.

The Kaffir women of South Africa are as notedfor their efforts to be beautiful as are their whitesisters of other and more civilized lands. They paygreat attention to beautifying 'heir bodies. Theyare great athletes and their life In the open airmakes them physically strong and well formed.They are particular about the condition of theirskin, and daily bathe and anoint the entire body,massaginer it until it shines like ebony. The areplump and well rounded, and usually of a hand-some bronze color.

The style of dressing the hair is next in Impor-tance. Their kinky locks are filled with a clayointment, by means of which they retain any posi-tion desired without the use of pins or otherfastenings.

The single women stretch their hair Into a peakat the top of the back of the head, where it re-mains for weeks in a solid mound. The married\u25a0women twist the front hair into a fringe of tinycurls by mixing the hair with clay and then twist-ing it between the fingers. These twists hangthickly down over the forehead, and really deservethe name of fringe, looking very much like thefringe of the Russian poodle. The back hair theydress in a variety of ways, using clay always tostraighten out the kinks and keep them straight.

Young women wear only -ads and beaded orna-ments, but these a^e quite profuse. The onlysemblances of garments are a short beaded apronand a chest protector. The gauge of beauty isplumpness. The plumper the girl the more beauti-

Thepreat number of Jackets and boleros worn neces-sitates a form ->f Simple underwaist. somethingsufficiently plain In construction not tr> destroy theclose fit of the jacket, and yet pretty enough toKive a dressy ai peirance when the Jacket Is dis-carded. The most fashionable "top" is one ofwhite lace, simply made, but with some unique

idea fcr choker and belt. An ecru art guipure isloosely draped over white satin. A choker andsmall yoke are made by lines of an embroidery ofmtck turquoises separated by lines of black vel-\et. This is the only trimming on the blouse.Another example of a bl >use to be worn with ajacket suit Is of seme heavy lace in deep £crumounted loosely over red silk. The pretty featureof this "top" is the little fitted vest of red panne, <embroidered with gold thread. This vest is pretty

in itself, but doubly so framed by the soft folds oflace. A third example has a foundation of pinksilk, over which is embroidered white muslin. Ayoke forming a vest is of white silk arranged inclusters of small tucks separated by lines ofnarrow black velvet. This makes the choker,which is higher in the back man in the front.Edging the vest Is a double ruffle of white mous-sellne and white silk, edged with black.

AN AMERICAN' WOMAN BURIED IN THE CONSE-

CRATED GROUND OF RROMPTOX CEME-TERY, LONDON—STATUE LIFE SIZE.

Blanche Roosevelt Macchetta Marchesa d'Allegrl,who died » little more than a year ago InLondon,

was the Prst native born American girl to make adebut inRoyal Italian Opera at Covent Garden; thefirst woman of any nation to be decorated with thecross of the Legion of Honor in France, and is thefirst American woman to have a monument erectedto her memory In a London cemetery. %

This monument stands in the consecrated groundof Brompton Cemetery, and Is an exquisite sculpt-ure in Carrara marble, pedestal and all.

The statue Is life size, and the figure represent*"Pandora," the favorite character with BlancheRoosevelt, and the one which she created at theBoston Theatre on January 10. MLIt was an operatic version of Longfellow's

"Masque of Pandora." which assumed special Im-portance from the fact that the distinguished poetsupervised or suggested the dramatic treatment ofthe, poem, and that the music by Alfred Celller andthe scenery and costumes after designs by AlmaTadema were the result of conferences with Mr.Longfellow. In which he carefully explained tocomposer, librettist and artist his special views ofthe Greek legend which formed the basts of hispoem. At the same time he expressed his wishesas to the manner In which his work should betransferred to the lyric stage.

The story or Pandora Is generally considered oneof the most beautiful and poetic of Greek legends.IIwill be remember. -.1 that she was believed to bethe first create.! woman. According to Heslod.Jupiter, angry because Prometheus had stolen firefrom heaven, ordered Vulcan to make a beautifulvirgin, who was dressed by Minerva, adorned withfascinations by Venus and r \.e Graces, and en-dowed with a deceitful mind by Mercury. In fact,all the sods of Olympus bestowed gifts upon Pan-dora, including Jove, who gave her a box. fromwhich, upon being opened, all the Ills which mortalflesh has since been heir to escaped, Hope aloneremaining.

Blanche Roosevelt was acknowledged as the liv-ing embodiment of the beautiful goddess, -whosecharms are Immortalized In this marble statue.

Upon the front of the pedestal Is inscribed:

: To the Memory of \u25a0 :: Blanche Roosevelt Macchetta. :: Marchesa d"Allerrl. :: Born In Wisconsin. U. 8.. 2<l October. ISSB. :: Died In London. 10th September. 1898. :: By Her Brilliant Accomplishments :: And Rare Graces of Mind and Person :: She Gave Distinction :: To tho World of Literature and Art. :: To the Name of Blanche Roosevelt. :

Ihroid»-red on tho skirt. Tills frock is cut In tin;

Dlrectoire fashion, with S short bolero of gtllmire

e.itrcd with chinchilla. The collar and revers of thelittle fackei are faced with a chanteiibie blue andgreen v.lv.t.lJink and rod are capable of a "chic" combina-

tion. Dark red Liberty satin makes the foundationfor a princess bouse gown, and over this Is a tunicof some thin pink stuff that is embroidered with

Jets. Tho tunic opens to show a vest of plain pinkelaborately shirred. There are touches of blackvehet on the gown.

STIIJ. THE PLEATED SKIRT.

There is little save the pleated skirt, at least 'ordaytime use. A pretty Idea which seems new is to

have the pleats held down, not by stitching, but by

sonre form of trimming. A gown of gray crepon

hns the skirt, with the exception of the frontpanel, laid In pleats. About six inches below thewaist a band of lace passes about the skirt, endingnt the sides «.f the front panel Six inches lowerdown passes a second hand of lace, which, in-stead of ending at tho sides of tho panel, continuesdown the skirt to the bottom. This is one of the

few pretty ways of trimmings a pleated skirt: a»a rule they are best left untrlmmeJ.

Perhaps* the two mr.st attractive gowns to be

seen in Paris at the moment are two being wornat a boulevard theatre. Tho first is of turquoise

blue velvet perforated In a large pattern over alining of pale blue silk and lightly embroideredwith dark blue and silver paillettes. These pail-lettes a o:-.» make tho tiniest of boleros. This uolerohas a little hood of Hue mousseHne de sete, withends that knot on the tuist and fall down on theskirt Tho other gown Is of laco mounted overyellow silk Narrow hands of Jets make an elabo-rate pattern on the skirt, th* laco tinic bolng cutup In points to show this pattern. The lower partOf the sler-ves Is of lace, the upper part is formedof six Inches of the Piik. laid In due pleats. Sep-

arating tho two is a band of jot that Is continuedon the bodice by passing in and out of the lacejacket and making a bow on the bust. The vest

and yoke are of pleated silk, and the choker is

of Jet.

\u25a0 For financial reasons, therefore, girl babies aremore to be- desired than boys, and the more girlsa r&otne/ has, the prouder she is. Girls are moredesirable than boys for another reason— the womendo all the work. Men are expected only to go towar, hunt and enjoy themselves, while the womenwait upon them, till the ground, gather in thecrops and manufacture everything in the way ofhousekeeping utensils. They dig the ore out of theground and eraelt it.In the picture of the five proud mothers— proud

because trie babies are all girls— they are wrappedla a single loose, tbeetlUte gament, which is theirttSU&I costume for every day.In cases of war between tribes, the women are

always saved ar.d bt.-ome the wives of the con-luerors. and their descendants are accounted as be-longing also to th- tribes of the conquerors. Inthis way the tribes art becoming fewer and fewereach year, for they prey upon each other everyharvest time, taking away the crops, cattle, goatsand women after killingoff all the men.

many instances of this among the frocks beingmade for Nice. A morning outdoor suit, smart be-cause or its simplicity, is of a lightweight whiteserge. The skirt, with the exception of a narrowpanel in front. is pleated. The bodice shows noStamp, and hangs over the belt in blouse fashion.The belt is of light blue silk stitched with black,and the choker and little emplacement are of thesame. The blouse crosses over the bust, where Itis cut hi three scallops that are ornamented byclusters of small blue crystal buttons. Whitegowns for the daytime have been popular in Paristhis winter, but the chances are that they willsimply monopolize attention along the Riviera. Iti* a pretty fashion, and certainly white wool orcloth Is generally becoming.

An elaborate white costume is of white mousse-line (]<\u25a0 sole. The entire bodice and a deep borderon the skirt are covered by an appliqued patternof white panne. This pattern Is delicate, and, asmay be imagined, the effect is exceedingly rich,The bodice Is draped and closed on one side by alarge chou of black velvet.

A bit of real lace is supposed to add distinctionto any gown, and there are several ways of arrang-ing a lace scarf that make it more than a con-ventional bit of trimming. A long scarf of beauti-ful Cluny lace adorns a bride's dress In thefollowing fashion: It passes first about thewaist In the form of a high Directolre belt,closed with a bunch of orange blossoms.The two ends, one much longer than theot^, pass down the side of the skirt, and areheld separately near the bottom by a bunch ofthe flowers, and from here the longer end Is carrieda trifle about the hem. To use a short scarf of thesame lace the bodice of a gray velvet gown Is agood excuse. On this gown Is a choker of tur-quoise blue velvet, and in the back a frillof thelace scarf stands up from the choker. The scarfappears to pass under the choker and the twoends to meet on the bust in a bowknot. with theloose end hanging to a little below the waist. Theskirt of this gown is finished with a gray furlying over a band of blue cloth.

There are two evening gowns among those seenduring the past week that Boem destined to createa mild sensation. The material forming the firstis a soft pink satin, but this is completely coveredby an embroidery done in small Btrass diamonds.The effect is certainly lovely. The skirt Is cut upon one side, and edged with lace to show a panelof finely pleated white mousseUne de sole. Thecorsage Is covered with the embroidery and the de-colletage draped with lace. on one side [a a singlelarge, deep red rose with some leaves. The secondgown lias a skirt of pale blue panne bordered witha pattern done in white chenille, and pink artificialroses half appllqued to the stuff. The corsage Isof white tulle laid In many ruffles, and made witha stole of the embroidered velvet. Over one should-er is a fall of roses.

The dressmakers are giving a good amount oftheir time now to costumes for the evening. Amongthe pretty gowns that may be seen on the Rue dela Palx Is one of pink brocade with a bowknotpattern done on the skirt with narrow black velvetribbon and silver cord. The ooraace isof black netembroidered with silver and made with corselet ofthe pink. A rich costume designed for an officialdinner at the Elysee Is of white brocade, touchedwith silver. This makes a tunic which lies over anunderskirt of pleated white gauze. The corsageopens over an underwaist of tho same gauze, andis trimmed with small, pink ostrich tips. A girlishfrock Is of white tulle made with several ruffles onthe skirt, that are edged with narrow rows of coralVelvet. On the bodice is a high belt of several rowsof velvet closed each with a diamond buckle. Mosteffective is a. gown of some thin black stuff .witha trimming of small pink roses on both the skirtand the corsage. There Is a corselet belt of greenpanne.

FROCKS FOR DEBUTANTES.For a debutante's frock few things are prettier

than mousseline de sole embroidered with tinyruffles of the same material. That Is. these tinyruffles are used to outline a pattern as velvet orchenll!* would be used. This Is, of course, for unall white dress, but the Idea Is equally pretty In acolor. A costume for an older belle Is of pale pinkgauze trimmed. In the way of corselet and shoulderStraps with velvet in a deeper shade of pink. \\ hatis handsomer for a dinner gown Hum a rcdingoteof Irish lace made with long, unlined sleeves?The. redlngote is edged with a fine pleating of pink

mouesellne de sole and opens over a. trained skirtof the same. The vest Is of pink DDOUSSeIInC deBole covered by H lattice work of black velvettrimmed with pearls.

For the .veiling black trimmed with white or acombination of black and white Is one of the oddi-ties of the moment. A gown of heavy black netbaa a deep Bounce of White I'luny headed with aelx-lnch band of Jet. Th« bodice Is trimmed withruffles of luce and pleated tulle and has a big bowof coral panne placed on one side. For a secondexample is a long skirt of black tulle heavy withembroidery of paillettes. This Is worn with a cor-sage of whit.- panne trimmed about th« top byMark and gold butterflies Elegant Indeed Is awhite satin skirt on which are thrown peacockfeather* The bottom Is finished with a border ofblack fur. The corsage is of white lace, with acorselet of black velvet.

This craze for peacock feathers was referred toIn a recent letter, but on* sees new exnmplea of itconstantly. An elaborate housigown, for example.Is of gray panne with long peacock feathers em-

thinner material. Is considered as being in the bestform. For instance, for a suit of gray cloth comesa "top" of gray Liberty satin perforated over aliningof white. The emplacement and choker areof white velvet arranged In lines of cords. Abouttrie waist Is a corselet of plain gray satin, fasteneddouble breasted fashion with two rows of hand-some silver buttons. The corselet Is always prettyon a blouse of this sort. It occurs again on ablouse of blue mousseline de sole that is encrustedwith white lace figures. This corselet Is made ofblue and black velvet arranged In folds. The newneck chains, with their heavy, elaborate pendantsof gold work, sometimes encrusted with jewels, seemespecially designed to wear with these simpleblouses. The pearl collars that well dressed womenwere wearing under daylight a year ago are notMen now. The gold chain and pendant has super-seded these, and the chain is never worn with adecolletage. Itis an ornament for the day, not forthe evening.

A new form of cravat is a long, soft scarf. Itpasses twice about the throat, the first time mak-ing the choker and th.- second tying In a loose knoton the bust, th.- ends being tucked into the belt.There are two costumes on which this form ofcravat looks pretty. Th.- first is a costume of paleblue cloth, trimmed with velvet of a deeper shadeand wool fringe to natch the doth. The long tunicis cut la an irregular shape at the bottom, and thewool fringe, which has a deep heading of net, al-iii..: covers the underskirt. Above the fringe arethree band* of velvet, follow-In* the shape of thetunic. This tunic is hung jth three «mall box

GRANT U3 THY PEACE.Far In the west, the day is slowly fading.

Dark grow the shadows of the evening hours;

Sweet o'er the senses steal the zrphyrs. ladenWith the soft fragrance of the drooping flowers.

Grant us Thy peace.

All thro" the day our erring step* have wanderedFar from the paths Thy sacred feet have trod;

"With broken vows and precious moments squan-dered.

On humble knee we pray to Thee. O Lord.Grint us Thy Peace.

Dark grows the night, the weary world Is sleeping.Darkness can hide not from Thy piercing Itgnt;

Take us. O Saviour, in Thy gracious keeping.Safe from the terrors of the lonely night:

Grant us Thy peace.

Grant us Thy peace when llfe"s brief day Is otsaV

Hold Thy dear cross before our fading eyee:Thro' the dark vale within Thine arms reposing.

Till morning dawrs for us in Paradise.Inperfect peace.—
