A New Satin—Rich and Striking Gowns. StylUh Blouses—Tailor Salts of Broadcloth—Olin Harper's Fashion Gossip
[Special Correspondence.]
NEW YOBK, Dec. 6.—I must admit that I was a false prophet when I said that I did not believe that the moire velours would prove popular, for it is bo
well liked in itself that there are two or three other new fabrics so near like it that one might clam them all in one family, and they ara all popular. The moire velours in black, dark solid colors
HUSSAR GOWN AND RUSSIAN COAT. and plaid is seen everywhere. The renaissance moire is in some respects a handsomer material than tho plain velours. While the velours has the heavier cord the wave or moire markings are more deeply and brilliantly defined, and are in some way made to take a shade very much darker than the foundation. Some of them have a satin brocade design trailing over the moire lines in lighter or darker shade than the ground. The effect is very beautiful, particularly in the cameo weave. One of these fabrios intended for ceremonious wear had the groundwork of a pale sulphur yellow, with the wave marks and brocaded design in a dt-licate cream tint. Another had a design of dark blood red on pale pink.
Thoro is a new satin offered in all oolora—that is to say, tho satin is always two toned and has an overthrow of coin spots. Where black and green threuds are interwoven the spots will bo of the green only, and they show up admirably. There is quite a fad for dark, when not black, gowns for handsome evening wear for quite young wo mon. Black satin duehesse is made with a plain soven gore skirt, with a draped belt of the same and a gathered waist. The sleeves are wrinkled above the elbows and coat shaped below, with full white crepe liese ruffles. Tfyere was an immense cape collar of duchess lace, with a jetted square yoke and a white satin stock with lisse ruffles. A more girlish but no handsomer gown was one •f dark navy blue velours, with a moiro outline of lighter shade. The bodico was low in the neck and fulled to a sash belt, made of rich black grosgrain ribbon, edged with a black silk mull ruflle and a nurrow lino of fine jet trimmiug, This was also put aroundtho bottom of tho skirt and above every seam. Around tho top of tho neck was a twist of pale pink crepe lisse.
There is much in favor of these dark gowns. They look rich, and they nro very striking, wliilo very beenmiug. Still, they huvo not displaced the gauzes, urts, silk mulls and ehifTocs, besides tho host of other transparent fabrics.
Blouses for homo wear aro of two styles, one tho ultra Russian, with the poplmn or skirt portion more or ss long and pronounced. There aro many very stylish blouses mado of plaid poplin. Yokes, garibaldi straps and gathers as well as plaits are all permissible, only so that the pouch front is always maintained. Long waists are'desirable now, and BO there aro fewer bolted waists. Tho others have the linings stiffened and carried far down in front and the belt set along the edge. Plaid poplin blouses are quite popular for wearing with the dark skirts of cheviot, homespun or some other of the roughish stuffs for ordinary requirements.
Tan broadcloth and mode and biscuit and a delicate soft French gray make the most beautiful of tailor suits. These are two-thirds blouse waists and the other third the conventional tight waist. Some of these have the Russian ooat

belted in blouse fashion, with the skirt portion or peplnm reaching nearly to tho fcnm Naturally these are richly trimmed with fur.

A DAUGHTER OF INDIANA*
Ills* Meb Culbertson, the Tonne ud Hud some Sculptor* The state of Indiana has sent into the world and into the fierce glare of pub licity many proud and worthy sons and daughters, brave soldiers and brilliant statesmen men and women whose names are emblazoned on the arch of fame and shine brightly in the world oi art and literature. And now in these later years from the grand old county ol Wayne, which gave to the world and his state the illustrious Oliver P. Morton, a daughter of Indiana has come forth, strong in her youth and beauty and God given genius. Meb Culbertsou is the only daughter of the late Dr. J. W. Culbertson, the eminent oculist. Her mother is the daughter of Major Anthony Hilborn, a celebrated British officer. Mrs. Culbertson prominently figures in the "Book of English Beauties" along with the Duchess of Sutherland and other lovely and highborn women of her day. The one great sorrow of Miss Culbertson's life was thf sudden death of her father, whose inseparable companion she had been from her babyhood, and in the intense desire of her life to do honor to her father's name and country she has devoted all the energy and resource of her great and fertile brain to her noble art—the art oi sculpture.
Miss Culbertson has traveled extensively abroad in pursuit of b°r favorite study, and much of her time has been spent in the Julian schools. She has exhibited in the Paris salon and the academies of America. One of her great works is a heroio head in bas-relief oi the multimillionaire Hackley of Michi-

gan for tho training school which he presented to his native state. A rocent work from Miss Culbertson's studio. a medallion in bronze of a prominent Chicago num. lias been greatly admired.
Originality and broad conception of design are marked characteristics of this talented young woman's work.
In 1896 Miss Culbertson introduced in New York the fad of modeling hand." and arms. Many celebrities were her willing subjects, notably Mine. O.lve, Colouel Iugersoll, General Lew Wallacc and Ella Wheeler Wilcox. One of the most interesting of her models is a cast of the clasped hands of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. The model was taken on the occasion of Mrs. Stanton's eightieth birthday.
Socially Miss Culbertson is very much sought after and a general favorite. She has been called the American Marie Baahkirtseff, and a very lovable Marie Bashkirtseff indeed is she. Thoro is a strange magnetism in her winsome personality which is irresistibly fascinating. Simple and unaffected, unspoiled by success and the glowing prospects of a brilliant future, she is still the same sweet personality of her studio days, the loyal daughter of the Hoosiet State.

HINTS TO THOSE WHO WANT MAKE MONEY.
TEBHB HAUTE SATTTBDAT EVENING KAIL, DECEMBER 11, 1897.
The Domestic Man a fact are of Toys Ii Enormous and Is Constantly Growing Devices For A winning the Little Folk
The Christmas Market.
Why do not women reap a large: share of the profit there is in the inven tion of toys? Children's playthings art imported in great quantities, especially from Germany and Switzerland. As th old rhyme has it: The children of Nurnberg take pleasure ii making What the children of New York take pleasure in breaking.
But the domestic manufacture of toy: is enormous also and is constantly grow ing. Every Christmas season the market is flooded with toys, old and new, ingenious and the reverse, and a genu ine novelty is hailed with delight bj the dealers. Where should the novel ties come from if not from the brains oi the mothers and aunts and big sister.' whose inventive talents are kept on the rack day after day to provide occupation for restless little ones? That a large) part of the demand is not met in thi. way is due in part without doubt to thf fact that women who have children amuse are too busy to market the ideat they may evolve. Usually they are nol under the necessity of doing so. But men who are looking for a money mai ing occupation and who have a gift fo) the entertainment of children ought tc find in the invention of salable toys field where their sex will help them.

A woman who has mado a considerable success of toy suggesting and-de-signing in the employment of a large manufacturing house says that here at elsewhere the first necessity is to keep up with the times. It was not a week after the Klondike gold fever broke out before Klondike dolls of a dozen sortf were for sale. Every little girl was supposed to want an Eskimo baby dressed in rabbit skins, and her brother was im agined to be pining for a miniature sledge drawn by miniature dogs to take its place in bis endless procession ol carts and trucks and drays.
The inventor of one variety of Klondike babies has told me how she mai keted her dolls. She is a saleswoman at the toy counter of a department store One day a customer asked if she could
one into -which women are
fall than men, is the marketing of too complicated articles. A good many of the steam, gas and electrical engines and other pieces of machinery presented to enterprising small boys anxious to see "wheels go wound" are considered by the small boys' mammas, justly or nnjustly, too dangerous to be exploited In the nursery.
The opposite fault of offering toys good only to look at is even more fatal to success. Children want things to work with, and the especial advantage the woman who makes a business of •applying this want ought to lie in her presumably more intimate knowledge
recommend anything positively new foi the first dose. It towers high above all a family of children who already had other remedies, because it never fails to everything." She had nothing to cure the stomach and nerves after other rm»«,* remedies have failed. Use it for all cases stock to fill the bill. That night at Nervous Dyspepsia, Indigestion and home she found the little people of the Nervous Prostration. It is safe and pleasfamily playing at "going to the Klon- ant, and its powers are such it cannot fail, dike." A thought came to her, and she I y.ou procure it you will be grateful for sat np late dressing a couple of Eskimo babies. These she took next morning to the head of her department. He referred them to the bnyerand the buy er to a manufacturer. In two or three days they were on the market The

For example, a woman who has no children of her own but whose devices for amusing other people's babies have made her the most sought after person in her neighborhood was appealed to to suggest something to while away the long hours of a little girl convalescing slowly from a tedious illness. The resourceful woman visited the child and found her pulling flowers in pieces and looking at the different parts with apparent interest The sight suggested botanical blocks, which have since made the youngsters of that vicinity look upon sickness as something almost to be desired.'
These amateur blocks are hot big squares, but slips perhaps half an inch thick, on whioh are painted petals, pistils and stamens. In this way the child learns every part of the flower, its name and the general construction of the blossom. The girl for whose benefit the idea was developed delights in putting together the big purple pansies, pitcher plants, ladyslippers and some of the great orchids that make a fine effect. These blocks have required some mechanical skill and considerable ingenuity to unite strength with fidelity to the original models in their making.
There is probably more money in a game or a trick that makes a hit than in any other toy. The person who invents a taking thing in this line and who is able to keep bold of it and to make and sell for his own benefit may oount himself lucky.f^lAs a general thing, however, the women who have toys to market use much the same methods as those adopted by the designers of Christmas cards—that is to say, they submit their ideas, accompanied so far as possible by model, to the toy manufacturers.
Sometimes a toy dealer will give an order for a novelty that promises to the public to the person who brings in the original model. In several instances that could be cited women have opened up for themselves in this way profitable lines of business.
In one instance a woman at her wits' end for something to contribute to a church fair made a number of copies of a simple toy she had contrived to please her own children. The toys sold so well and attracted so much notice that the inventor's husband afterward manufactured them on a larger scale and realized a profit.
New toys are brought out as far as possible in season for the Christmas market, and this is a fact that women with ideas should bear in mind.

The Face.
Most girls are pleased to be thought beautiful, nor is it displeasing to a young man to find he is spoken of as handsome. But if we recall the faces that are most pleasing to ns we shall oommonly find it is not fairness of complexion or evenness of feature that we admire, but a men-y smile, a kindly expression, a frank, honest look—it is really the cbaraoter of the person ex pressed in the face which attracts us. But a face does not respond to the effort of the moment. It is a revelation of the habitual attitude of the soul. Thoreau says, "Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man's features, any meanness orjeojroality to imbrute them,^'
