R Quiet Season Makes ~ Blouses Popular %éshions are Changing to Confolm to f:h;—;:;;; Forms of New York

e UIET is the password in A \ j New York society this win--8 f:‘ :1 | ter, and especially since the 4 ";g/ / passing of the holiday seaN Z son. -Fhere are no elaborate % entertainments planned as <here have been in previous years; no great balls; no great receptions; mno startling dinner parties. The win%er’s entertainments will be along -small lines. And all this makes a difference in clothes. New York dressmakers are lamenting the fact that “coming-out” parties for the season’s debutantes have gone out of style. They virtually passed away with the closing of the winter season of last year, and with ¢hem went a demand for expensive ctothing, a loss for which the dressmakers have as yet found no substi*ute. X :

There is another thing of which the dressmakers are complaining, and that is the new fad of society to-oc-<upy the chairs rather than boxes at ®Hoth the opera and the theater. It apeans a loss to them in the manufacture of the stunning theater and -opera gowns with which they have Deen blessed in past years. , But this quiet season is not on for ‘the purpose of economy on the part of the wealthy, but is merely one of the fads that has come as a diversion in the round of social festivities, but for the remainder of this season at least the young girl who is to step forth, into the social whirl will do so 2t a quiet little home reception or afternoon .tea where simple, even though expensive, costumes will be ‘¢he proper thing to wear. ' This is one reason why the blouse ~waist is so much in favor again. They are appropmate for just such occa--sions. Every store which the wealthy peaple of the city patronize is showgng innumerable models of these wdainty and simple garments, and of «wourse the great middle classes folfow the lead of the wealthy in the way of fashions. ° In a Broadway store a few days ago T'satwv one of these dainty*waists that appealed to my ideas of daintiness

It was of white crepe -de s.chine made over yellow silk, -though it could be effectively dupli--eated in either net, lace, soft or .glace silk, oriental satin or voille. It was made with a full blouse front, and had a square decollette outlined =vith a broad band of cream lace. Just selow the band of lace across the 'bust was a band of tiny plaitings of whe erepe de chine. The elbow sleeves were plaited in like manner, and finished with double frills of the selfmaterial. Even though beautiful it was so simple that it might be made By any deft-fingered and fairly-in-Zenious woman. . ; ‘ Another of these pretty waist smodels was in a very fine French flanmel trimmed with narrow velvet ribDon and pretty white pearl buttons. “While it- was more elaborate than the first it would not prove more difficult €o make, as a glance at the illustra“#4ion will demonstrate. The colors wwere white and black, and the effect was chagming; "This waist might ‘easily be duplicated either in cashmere or a soft silk, the latter making it adaptable for semi-dressy evening amear. : : While decollette costumes cannot “be said:to be out of ‘vogue for evening wear for matrons, yet there is a rage for high-necked bodices. A pret--4y one of this kind was of brocadedfigured satin in black and white, made with a white satin vest, angd with lagge revers of cream lace outJining the vest to the waist line. The -same ‘lace was used also for a high stock collar that came well down on the satin vest in front, and for friils to finis‘h the elbow sleeves. Such a ‘hodice might be worn separately or in

A GOOD TELEPHONE GIRL.

©One Who Is Possessed of Acute Andlt({ry_ Nerves and Correct e Articulation, $ il ‘Every girl cannot be a telephone girl, as many applicants learn, to their disappointment. Girls who can Mear and girls able 'to maintain the wreputation of the sex for talking -often fail in ‘'what is required by the wselephone companies. - The trouble #s not in the educational, but in the Pphysical tests, says the New York Herald. - Bome education is required, as a mmatter of course, but the greater at- " temtion is paid to -hearing and speakdng. The applicant must possess au_ditory nerves able clearly to distin- ~ &uish words in all sorts of conversa-

connection, with a skirt of the ‘same material. Others along much ' the same lines might be made of glace silk, bengaline or velvet, any of these materials combining well with the white satin and cream lace. =«

Each day and week bring with them new evidence of its being a season for the home dressmaker. We are rapidly going back to a reign of simplicity in which the home dressmaker can successfully compete with the professional. But there is a keenness of color sens€ demanded that has not often been required in the past history of the mode. But the woman who possesses an artistic eye, as it is

No one can gainsay but what the trailing skirts, worn of course at.the appropriate time and place, are extremely graceful, and moreover a boon to medium sized and short women. Then the short, plain tailor-cut skirts will never be surpassed for walking and outdoor wear, and as the majority of women go in for games and athleties of some description, these skirts will also remain premier favorites.

Velvet in all its rich coloring and softness of texture is the most popular of fabries. It is equally becoming to old and young, and imparts an air of feminine softness and refinement that no other material can equal. The latest velvet for costumes is quite thin and very pliant, yet loses none of its richness of appearance in being different from the old-fashioned kind. Velvet costumes are made with double-breasted bodices, having coat tails, and are usually trimmed with fur, and sometimes with handsome passementerie. Russian blouses look pretty in: velvet, and differ from others in having a narrow-fluted basque. Short velvet coatees are seen with pouched fronts and back, and are usually attached to a pointed velvet waistband which is drawn down in the front and held with a jeweled eclasp:. : For woolen gowns, zibeliue is much in demand.

BARK IS FOUND.

Vessel Which Collided wvith the - Walla Walla Being Towed to San Francisco in Bad Condition.

~ San Francisco, Jan. 6.—The French bark Max, which collided with the steamship Walla Wall early Thursday morning, is being towed to this gty in a badly disabled condition. The steamer George W. Elder, from Portland, reports that she passéd the Max at 10:50 Sunday morning;in tow of the steamer Acme and the United States revenue cutter McCulloch, 18 ‘miles northwest of Point Reyes. The Max’s bowsprit was carried away, and her bow was stove in both above and below the water line. Her water tight compartments alone were keeping her afloat. The officers of the Max claim that all their lights were ' burning. They saw the lights of the Walla Walla. They assert that the Walla Walla tried to cross their bow, and that the collision occurred: through no fault of the Max. -As a reason for not standing by and tendering assistance, they say that it was impossible, owing to the badly disabled condition of the Max. They had- all they could do.to take care of themselves. S o

Ninety-two survivors of the Walla Walla arrived here Sunday from Eureka on the steamer Pomona. There is still some discrepancy in the lists of dead and missing. The number ranges from 37 to 47, This discrepancy is due to the fact that several passengers boarded the vessel just as she was leaving port. Others who were traveling second class gave assumed names in order to hide their identity. By striking out what are possible duplicates, the number of lost stands at 42, classed as follows: Known_dead, nine; missing passengers, ios erew, 20. One life raft is unaccounted for, and it is feared that all. the missing are lost. . Rev. Henry Erickson, who was among the six survivors brought to this \city by the steamer Nome City Saturday night,is at St. Mary's hospital, a physical and almost a mental wreck. His wife and three children are among the dead and missing. The Erickson family, excepting the mother, were second class passengers. When the crash came they were awakened and all got on the upper deck together. Mrs. Erickson and the two youngey children got separated from their father and the elder brother. What their fate was is not known, but it is presumesl they were drowned when the vessel went down, Erickson and his son clung together and were pitched into .the water clear of the sinking steamer. They floated around for some time and finally were picked up by the life raft, on whicv'h'y;’ere.;l number ‘of the officers of the Walla Walla, Tt was almost daybreak when they were found, and they were in an.exhausted cond\itipn, .Father and ‘sc"m_\\".et.'e pulled on the light structure, but.the boy was too weak to stand the exposare . 0 T

" A few hours later he died in his father’s arms, and after the heartbroken parent had bowed his head in silent prayer oxer the corpse of his son the body was consigned to the waves as tenderly as’it was possible under the circumstances. After the body of the boy had gone overboard the father became more and more despondent. Despite the advice of his companions, time ,and time again he filled@his hands with water and drank it 'down. This added to his misery, and his companions feared that he would be the next to succumb. The sea was running high and dashing over the raft, but all .clung: on through the long hours of the day and the long hours of the night, They hoped against hope until the Nome City picked them up.. Rev. Mr. Erickson was the.first to be lifted aboard. 'He was at once placed in bed and as carefully tended as circumstances would permit. It is thought he will recover. from the terrible effects of the exposure.

FOR A GREAT SCHOOL

Steps Taken to Accept Mr. " Carnegie’s Gift.

Secretary of State Hay to Represent the Cabinet—The Articles Plan for Seientific, Literary and Artistic Research,

Washington, Jan. 6.—The much-dis-cussed national college, for the formation of which Andrew Carnegie offered to give $10,000,000, was incorporated Saturday under the title of Carnegie Institution, the gift of money was formally accepted and the legal aspects of the problem solved. While no statement has yet been macde concerning the scope of the institution or the details of the manner in which it will be managed, some idea of its intents may be obtained from its incorporators and from the plans set forward in the articies of incorporation. B ' ; The Incorporators, The incorporators are as follows:. John Hay, secretary of state.. - Edwin D. White, justice gf the supreme court. & . D. C. Gillman, late president of the Johns Hopkins university. N ‘Charles D. Walcott, superintendent of the geological survey. Ok John 8. Billings, ex-surgeon general of, the navy. s Carroll.D. Wright, commissioner of labor. Institution for Research, :

The preamble of the articles.of incorporation set forth as follows: ‘““We, the undercsigned persons of full age and citizens of the United States and a majority of whom are citizens of the District of Columbia, being desirous to establishandmaintainin the city of Washington, in the spirit of Washington, an institution for promoting original research in science, literature and art, do hereby associate ourselves as a body corporate for said purpose under an act to establish a cdode of law for the District of Columbia, approved March 3, 1901, sections 599 to 604, inclusive.” The Objects,

The articles fix the name and title of theinstitutionasthe “Carnegie institution” and ' show that it is organized “for 'a perpetual term.” Its objects are the “promotion of study and research, the power to acquire, hold and convey real estate and other property and to establish general and special funds; to assist investigations in seience, literature or art; to cooperate awith governments, universities, colleges, technical schools, learned societies and individuals; to appoint committees of experts to direct special lines of research, publish and distribTite documents, conduect lectures and hold meetings. acquire and maintain a library and in general tq do and perform all things necessary to promote the objects of said institution.” The affairs, funds and property of the corporation will be in general charge of a board of trustees, to consist during ‘the first year of 27 and thereafter not to.exceed 30 members, except by a three-quartgr vote of the board. i . Gift 'Will Be Satisfactory.

The meeting Saturday at which the incorpeoration erystallized was the result of a number of informal conferences that have been held by the incorporators, who were selected péersonally by Mr. Carnegie. The . definite form in which ¢he gift of Mr. Carnegie twill be made has not been announced, although according to those interested in the project it will be in a shape generally satisfactory! It is understood that it will be in the form of gilt-edged securities, but not of government issue in view of the greater income paid by the outside securities. The further development of the project now -awaits the outline from Mr. Carnegie as to his ideas and purposes. The next step will be the organigation of a board of trustees. This doubtless will include the present incorporators and other representative men from all parts of the country. This will be in line'with the policy pursued in organizing the board for the Carnegie Institution in Scotland.

: UP IN ARHMS. j Citizens of Denver Take Steps tolßid the City of Thugs and ! : ‘ Criminals, Denver, Col., Jan. 6.—This city will present a decidedly martial aspect if pPlans adopted at a mass meeting of citizens Sunday afterncon are carried out, and the temper of the meeting would indicate that they will be.’ Because of the many crimes that have been committed here within the past year or two, which have brought ierror to Denver residents, the latter have organized a committee of safety, for the purpose of proiecting the people against criminals. The streets are to be patrolled during the night by armed citizens, who will be expected to keep the town free of the criminal class. - Everybody on the streets at night will be expected to give an account of themselves when called upon, and failing to satisfy the challenger of the sufficiency of their reasons for being abroad, will be arrested. DPolice magistrates will be urged to make punishment for crime so heavy as to deter even the most desperate. For months past thugs and thieves have overrun this city. Women have been criminally assaulted in their own houses and on the streets, hold-ups and robberies have been of almost daily occurrence and even murder has been committed at times when the occasion, from the standpoint of the vicious, demanded it. The murder of 14-year-old Harold Fridborn and the assault of his sister on New Yéar’s night aroused the people to a fury that augurs poorly for the thug who falls into their hands 'in the future.

The Recent Rumors/of the Release of ! Miss Stone Pronounced to : Be Untrue,

Constantinople, Jan. 6.—The news that the brigands holding Miss Stone captive are being hustled by the inhabitants of the Turkish territory where they are said to be in hiding, has created considerable sensation here. A deadly feud is said to exist between the leaders of the hostile bands, some of whom are reported to have deserted and as attempting to reenter Bulgaria. Much anxiety is felt here with regard to the outcome of these developments. The American legation here has not yet received news from M. Gerguilo, the dragoman of the legation (who left Salonica for the interior the latter part of last month, with the purpose of meeting Miss Stone’s ecaptors). Members of the legation say the rumors of Miss Stone’s release are quite unfounded. No direct news has been received from the American captive since November 13, the date of the last letter from Miss Stone to Mr. Dickinson, consul general at Constantinople. ASSASSINATED.

- MUSIC AND ANIMALS. Many Wild Beasts "Are Susceptible to the Infiuence of Soft %and Low Compesitions,

The pleasing legend of Orpheus and the wild beasts has lately been put to the proof imn Europe in a series of tests to determine whether music hath charms to seothe the savage breast. Not long simee a concert was given at the poultry show at Posen. The fowls listened intently, and the only one which did not seem pleased was an old turkey cock, whieh gave every evidence of noisy disapproval, reminding the observers of certain musical erities. -Herr Baler, the violinist, then made a series of experiments in the German zoolagical gardens with interesting results. A puma was found to be peculiarly susceptible. As soon as the playing began he stretched himself and listened intently, giving every evidence of sensuous pleasure. This continued as long as the music was soft and low, but when the movement and tempo changed and the playing became loud and rapid he sprang to his feet, lashed his tail, and gave every evidence of high nervous exeitement; as if he were a Frenchman listening to the “Marseillaise.” Leopards showed complete indifference—as much so as fashionable people at the opera. The lions were mnervous and apprehensive, but when the player passed on they lay down and went to sleep. The lion cubs seemed to show a disposition to dance' when the music was animated, but the older members of the family were evidently better pleased with allegro measures. Hyenas were badly frightened. This is not surprising, as the hyena is not aesthetic. "The. monkeys showed much curiosity, but only one of them displayed, evidence of great pleasure. If opportunity had been offered he would have given up other business to attend the concerts regularly, and, perhaps, would have been glad to try his own hand at the bow. Prairie wolves at first manifested great curiosity, but, having satisfied themselves as to where the sounds came from, they arranged themselves in a semicircle and listened attentively. Whe‘gfis—_‘fdhe music stopped they pawed the player and 83218(1 to solicit the favor of an en- ~ The tests are to be continued, with a view to determining if musical perception is a trait in all animals if they get the kind of music which suits them~N.

ODOR FOR CHRYSANTHEMUM. Florists Are Now Seeking a Means to Asld to the Flower’'s At—- : tractions, : How to ‘impart perfume to the chrysamthemum is a feat the aceomplishment of which is just now earnestly being sought by florists, both professional and amateur, in all seetions of the country. The development of the ebhrysarthemum within the last . few years from an unattractive flower to its present high state of perfection, beauty and commercial value'is one off tlre wonders of horticultaral history. To English florists is due the credit of this development, but this country has not been slow in cultivating that flower, and the correctness of the commereial imstinct of the professional florists in thi=s direction can be realized when it is: known that their revenue from: this flower alone was $500,000 last year. More flowers are said to be Bought . in New York than in any othereity in the world, and the prices paid are higher. lln this connection it isnotuninteresting to note that the flower industry of the whole eountry, says the Washington Star, i assuming large proportions and is increasing in per-? haps’ a more rapid' ratio than other commercial enterprises. The govern=ment figures are available for the year 1989, and show that during that year $2,738,426 was expended for the laborin the flower industryin thiscountry. The value of the whole product is placed a 4 $11,928,822, which commereial flopists have thought too low an estimate. The land on which the flowers were raised and the value of the buildings ir use is estimated-at $35,469,487T. . " Thought They Might Need Flt. S Man of the House—lt strikes me that.
