ia pale pink or blue, bnt she must mover show
herself in bright ~scarlets or yellows during
her first season. Her flowers also must form
a part Of every ball dress. Pearls. sapphires
and similar jewels must be worn in preference
to diamonds. One of the pre,tiest debutante
dressea made this winter was worn by q very
pretty girl with brown eyes aud yellow hair.
1t had . long train and bodice of white watered
silk. which was covered with quantities of
white tulle caught up by large beads to repre-
sent roses. The front OF the dress was COM
posed of pufings Of tulle. each puff being
separated by u string Of pearls. while q long,
white satin ribbon. tied At the lowest corsage
fell in o bow to the floor. A rope of pearls was
twisted in her hair, and a single string OF them
ciasped close about hor neck.
Mrs. Langtry's Presence of Mind.
Washington Letter: Her form is supple And
every movement graceful. Even in one scene
in Peril where she intended to fall fainting on
a sofa, she missed the support and fell upon
c%orsets. satin bodice, long train and
other membranes, she rolled over
and over twice like q puff ball, and
without the least disarrangement Of
a single article of her attire. Very few could
perform such a feat, for the fail was hard
enough to have knocked the breath ont of an
ordinary woman, but Mrs. Langtry is evidently
an expert gymnast, for she, in answer to q call
Immediately after the accident. appeared be-
fore the curtain, which had dropped upon her
~ she lay full length on the stage after
the fail and rolling over twice, and
smiled as sweetly and looked as uurufasd as a
child would after such u performances. For a
professional beauty, Mrs. Langtry is entirely
devoid of self consciousness. Her poses are
natural, she does not rant, and really ap-
pears to lose herself in the character
of Julia, in the delightful comedy
of The Hunchback; Miss Hardcastle,
adaptation of Sarhou's Nos Intimes, under tho
name of Peril, in which she assumes the role
OF Lady Ornond. This is rea ly her great char
acter. and affords great scope for the fine lady,
as well as one possessed of both weakness and
strength; Mrs. Langtry ID we'll supported in
all her plays aud in every character in the three
plays.
About Colors.
No one can steer very far from the mark
who wears her own favorite and most becoming
color. For cloth, perhaps. refined taste
chooses the dull shades of red and brown. but
all colors are worn from these to the doves and
grays that found such quick favor at the
first of the season. There is some
truth in the proposition that to
patience. Why9 Because. at the first Of the
season, when some one color comes to the
front, as gray did this fall, i'll such super
abundance Of shades and tones. there is
danger of its running Itself into disfavor by
becoming entirely too commonplace through
its universal adoption. Or, if not suited
for the requirements it is called to ill,
it subsidies into a secondary role, AMI
those who have taken it up too lavishiy find
to their discomfort, later in the season, that
like many q man OF business, they have in
vested too much capital in one line Of stock.
The color called 'Titian red" IL often con-
founded with u brown termed "tawny," and
also with one known in former years as "Bis-
marck." Really, it should be applied to an
auburn, as 1t derives its name from the great
master artist who was accustomed to paint his
saints and angels with locks of that deep, but
sunny, hue.
Skating Suits.
There is no end to the variety Of skating cos
tunes worn this season. Some Of the suits are
very costly and unique, and our Kinks and
ponds present an anima ted picture OF gay colors
and novel styles. Whole costumes are made of
crimson India cloth trimmed with fur bands ton
inches deep, with very deep coachmAn's cape to
correspond. A very stylish costume latoly
worn was made of silk plush; the short under
skirt was in broad stripes of crimson and gold.
The :narquise coat of plain crimson plush
opened over a vest of gold color richly en-
trimmed with bands of dark brown fur, with
cap, mutt, and deep cuffs to match.
