A Picturesque Object.

The Young Woman who Dressed in Correct Winter Costume. The young woman utterly correct in winter garb is a strikingly picturesque object these days. From crown to toe she wears only what is chic and what at first sight carries the evidence of fashion’s latest whim. Beginning with her hat, it is a patent leather, sailor trimmed, with a plain band of ribbon, and reflects in its glistening crown the uppci windows of the houses she passes. She wears it just back of the waved fringe on her brow and above the knot of softly rolled hair. Of course she wears a cape of Russian sable with a Medic is collar, into which sht will sink her chin whenever the weather is nold, but which during these bright brisk lays falls open, showing a cream ailk keribief fastened high at the neck with little filver pins. Her hands are thrust in a good-' (izad mu if not far enough to hide the thick, •30ft dogskin gloves and the edges of white Buffs held together by silver links as thick ae little ropes. As much of her gown as Bhows below her caps is Scotch tweed, blanket like [n its thickness, but soft and woolly. 11 falls in uutrimmed, slightly draped folds, ami os she steps out sans dress supporter, sans steel, sans bustles, it clings to her limbs and its edges ripple and sway about her feet in a delightful way. Her boots have patent leather vamps, but tan gaiters leave oniy a little of their polish visible. If it is a gray day with a suggestion of coming rain in the air she has only one hand thrust in her mull and in the other carries horizontally a slander, tightly-rolled, gold-headed umbrella. Do you see bar in your mind’s eye, this bright eyed, faintly flushed young woman, making her light, independent way along with a comfortable consciousness that she is the very pink of fashion? A.ud do you think & prettier specimen of radiant girlhood ocuid be found ?
