By Florence' Fairbanks.
Tt TEW - YORK, Jan. 25.-The long,
111- llm lines of the figure that were
I J - predicted soma time ago are now
,. appearing- very t frequently in
models v and in worn by
the fashionable aet -i, In the s "evening.
There art no hip ltnee it must be one
curve from above the waist line to be
low the hips. This figure Is the only
one that Mi imr the Pnuuln skirt' The
wasp waiat 1 also predicted. Already
it haa been Been on a number of women.
- Tunica are being fitted much tighter
from the walat line to the knee, giving
an almost atraigiit line,
.There are. very., few alecvea that are
Tiow being made inai can oe cauea
rircttr. and it la really unusual to have
thro made ef the aame material aa the
rest of the gown. Evening dreti
ahow sleeves of chiffon, lace or some
transparent stuff, laid m neep loins.
Anything but lace may be wrinkled the
full length. Draperies ann mwung
sleeves are very fashionable. Those
are open on the top Of the .arm and are
cnught together py. ornaments. i.tw
tumes of broadcloth have the sleeves
of that material eomlng down over the
top of the ana in folda or cut out and
'buttoned over. Parla la ahowlng posi
tively tight-fitting aleevea with no gath
era at the arm holes, on the neweit tai
lored suits. , , .
Evening wrapa are so very. much in
fashion that it la worth one a while to
notice alt then elegant garment. A
very charming one waa made of cerise
cloth, finished with ermine, and had a
narrow piping along the edges of blue
cloth. The lining waa of ermine and a
cravat of paatet blue cloth waa knotted
together In front Another wrap, equally
aa beautiful, waa Of, Jade-green Liberty
finished at the bottom with deep tucka
set between tolaa folds of velvet of the
same shade. , Around the neck was a
braided design which waa made of nar
row biases of chlfTon aatin. in blue,
cream, black and, greet combined. .and
theae colore were also, kaotted together
in a cravat . t ,. ' I ' .
A touch of gilt la noticeable on all, the
gowns of .the season, whether they are
for the house or atreet wear. Brown
la a color that holds its popularity, and
a-old ia particularly effective with It.
There are gilt- ornaments -and -clasps,
braid with fine gold thread ' running
through It. and also brass buttons in
small slses and large, flat styles. At
' lantic blue broadcloth ia charming when
trimmed with flit ornaments and braid.
An attractive piece of braiding waa of
plain gold with groups ,tr French knots
in " gold ,thread jbyer It. . t .
The little accessories Of dress often
count more in the appearance of a well
gowned woman than the expense of the
' costume.' The glovea should match the
waistcoat, the umbrella should go well
with the gloves, with a wooden handle
to match the gown; a wrist-bag to
match the umbrella and the boot tops
that go well with" everything. Tnese
are a few. of the most noticeable thin ga
that ran Irs the 'dress artistic. The
French woman Is wearing gloves of
tan, old gold orpiacuit coior, wmcn are
always attractive. Waistcoats are be
ing made of flowered pink cretonne but
toned witn peari or goia outions. , Any
flowered goods -Is made Into waistcoats
and vests, and tney aaa mucn to a qui
suit ..,.. . '. ' , . . ., , .. ":
Crepe de chine' Is': having a, derided
vogue this season and its new qualities
are much more durable than former
ones. , This material Is particularly'
pretty In gray of a soft,, lustrous tex
ture. A gown of silver-gray crepe d.e
chine noticed at a recent smart func
tion waa -mad. ultbXhe Empire -back,
but with no trimming except silver em-
. broldered fillet lace for the yoke and
undersleevea, '; '
; "Hoaiery and slippers for.evenlng wear
must match the gown, mere are some
v exceptiona, however, for bronse satin
or leather embroidered with gilt thread
or beads are very attractive and are
much worn, i The hoaiery to match is
of bronse-yellow silk and may be open
work or enabroldeaedi The slipper, heels
are high and dangerously slender.
Lace ' coats, it Is predicted, will be
the height of fashion before many
weeks, and they -will make very pretty
and dreasy -warmentB for ' street wear.
Borne models show the lace In a deep
shade of tan, made ttght-ntting and
three-quarter length- The front ia fas
tened by braided ornaments. Lace din
ner coats ire being much worn. These
are usually loose with immense flowing
sleeves cut ail in one., a nanasome one
was of champagne-colored laoe lined

the season one that does not match the

Stray Topics From Old New York
EW YORK, Jan. 16. Fresh from
Paris has come a new scheme
that may be received rather gen
erally by owners of New . York's largo
apartment houses. It la nothing more
nor less than a lottery, but Is so unique
that there Is very little chance for any
one to be swindled, yet It still retains
all the excitement, of a full fledged
gambling proposition. The plan makes
it necessary for all the tenants of on
apartment house to meet on the' first
of; the month, and. draw a slip of paper
from ' a hat The one who draws the
lucky slip will have his rent free for
tnat montn. jsvery month tnis proceed
ing will go on, and. it has worked so
well in Parts that some of the apart
ment houses have not lost' a tenant in
years. Everyone ataya on In the hope
of getting a month's rent free. Saving
ine wear ana tear on un nouse mi is
raiiarf friv tunnnll -Minatiintlv movlnir
more than offsets the landlord's loss of
a year's rent for one apartment.

rANO on to your nerves" was the
good old-fashioned advice, of .a
physician 'of attainments and of
great good sense.' "1 -v
"Hang on to oWnerWsi'' la the advice
that will ibear repeating; to -women of all
occupations and of tall classes.
For nervousness is one of the deadll-
One result of the recent financial
atrlngency. . when so much . gold came
into' common circulation, naa been tnat
many men have continued to carry their
money in ine yeiiow metal instead or
green back a The other day at one of
me rasnionaoie f irm avenue ciuds At
the end of a game of bridge, when the
accounts were peing settled, it was no
tlced that-all the men carried gold. It
Is becoming a fad in Gotham, and it Is
probable that the banks will soon have
as great a demand for gold aa they al
ways have had, for new bills. On ths
other hand, it is an interesting fact that
unless a man nas just returned from
the west, one is very seldom seen with
a - silver aousr. . to orrer one to a
streetcar conductor is nothing short of
an insult, and wnenever anyone is given
a cart wheel, he eyes It suspiciously,
and Immediately tests It to ascertain
wnetner it is genuine.
JIt was a hard blow to aristocratic old
New YorkeTS to have the "slow bu'.
aure" Fifth avenue coaches replaced by
up-to-date automobile buses; and they
have been protesting ever since becauxe
the buses are plastered with flaHhlni
signs advertising a certain kind of to
bacco. But It was soon passed about
that this was exactly as they were In
London, which seemed to appease the
majority. But the bus company has
Just added a-new wrinkle that Is a
startler. It Is an automatic coin re
ceiver, that looks exactly like a re
volver, and through which the con
ductor. Is obliged to receive all fares.
Instead of holding out his hand for the
fares, he points the muzzle of the
nickle-plated weapon In your face. The
passenger Is then obliged to put the
dime In the muzzle, which Is followed
by a sharp clhjk. A notice Is posted
that the conductor may not touch any
body's fare; if you need change he is
authorized to return the full amount
and then you must tuck the dime into
the slot of the machine yourself.
More people travel vertically than
they do horlsontallv In New York. In
other words the MOO elevators In Man
hattan carry mpre passengers than do
all the surface, elevated and sutrtvay
roads combined. ' The 'number of peo
ple using the elevatora in some of the
big buildings' Is almost Incredible. In
the alKuntlo Park Row bulldina. accord
ing to actual count, as many persons
werer taken ufi and down in one day as
would be carried on an avlraee bv thai
entire atreetcar system of Nashville. !

Society's Interest is centered now in
the marriage of Miss Gladys Vanderbllt
on Monday to Count Laszlo Bsenhenyl.
It Is not going to be- a large wedding,
however, and there have been a number
of disappointed ones who did not receive
invitations. The count and Miss Van
derbllt obtained their license at the new
marriage license bureau last week with
out any notoriety, for they arrived at
city hall, filled out the necessary pa
pers and got away before anyone had
time to spread the news that they were
in the building. The groom dignod his
name li full, using the title to which
he Is accustomed that of "Count. In
signing his name he had to use two
lines, there not being enough space In
one. . lie gave as his occupation, land
owner and royal chamberlain. The ar
rival of the members of the count's
family early last week, attracted a large
and curious crowd, and mucn to tbeir
surprise these members of nouilky
seemed to be the most democratic per
sons imaginable.

by paying 7 cents. Farther along was
a table heaped with all manner of pack
ages, more or lens amusing and Imprac
tical, or otherwise, which were offered
for sale at 7 cents each. .
At the rear of the room waa a veri
table gyc-sy tent, presided over by the
seventh daughter of a seventh daughter.1
who told fortunes for the low price of
7 cents, or as .much more as anv one
flt inclined to pay, multiplying always
by seven. : - '
At a candy booth, candy, popcorn,
peanuts, gum. etc., sold at 7 cents a

clock in the - world, which distinction
London has held for a long time with
"Big Ben" in Westminster Abbey. The
new clock la to be placed in the tower
or tne Metropolitan Lire building in
Madison Square, and will be in keeping
with the structure itself, which is the
tallest permanent structure In' the
world, with the exception of Eiffel
tower In Paris. The new tower will be
8 stories high, and the clock is to oc
cupy .part of the twenty-fifth, twenty
sixth artd twenty-seventh floors. The
dial of the clock will be 25 feet, with
letters ' four feet high, and hands 12
feet long. As the clock .has not yet
been ordered It is not known, just how
it will run, but in all probability by
electricity, although some of the newer
ones have used compressed air. Owing
to the immense size or the clock It will
be possible ta tell the, time from a
great distance. The tower, too, wtlLbe
landmark, overtopping every tning in
the vicinity. Jt will De. ess zeet above
