New York, Jan. 10.-This is the
ball and wedding season in New York
and many beautiful and original even
ing and wedding dresses are in the
hands of dressmakers. One Just sent
home from Lord..& Taylor's is a love-
" brides dress of white satin almost
covered with wide real Limerick lace
founces. Three hounces almost COW
er the whole skirt, which is q little
trained in the back. The bodice and
back drai,ery are N plain white long
pile velvet shot with faint opaline
tints. The bodice is pointed back
and front and very much cut away
on the hips. From the point start
full paniers of velvet which provide
the fullness for the back There is no
train to the velvet. The bride who Is
to wear it declares she intends to dance
at her own wedding and sees no reas-
on why youthful bride should be
dressed like dowager.
A delicious evening dress which
will be much admired when worn Is
50 very original it deserves a mention.
The tablier is formed of long Turk
ish towel, he1ends embroidered in eS-
quisite colors and silver tinsel. The
two ends are placed lengthvise up the
front of the skirt with 3 quantity of tea
colored lace quilted in cascades be-
tween them. The bodice, paniers,
drapiery and much puffed founce
around the bottom of the slightly
trained skirt are of old gold satin with
I1inings of velvet Of the same color and
decorative effects of tea colored lace
in quillings and cascades and motifs
of Turkish embroidery tastefuliy IN
troduced.
An exquisite "going away dress
for a bride is III coloring like robin
red breast. The material is cloth, OF
course, (cloths are all the rage just
now,) and this cloth is of the soft gray
ish brown tint Of the robins back and
tail feathers. 1t is not heavy cloth,
but light and plant, fine, soft and very
warm for it is all wool. The walscoat
collar and cuffs, (think of it robin
with cuffs y are of that very shade o
dusky orangered that tints the robins
breast. The draping is perfect. Eacl
| loop and fold has its own meaning ant
raiso,a d. etre. There is nothing II
revalent or odd about the ensemble
, Small lengthwise pleats down the from
| and back furnish the fullness of th'
: polonaise which is caught high on tht
hips. The skirt is of Nonpareil vel
yeteen matching the cloth in color
A magnificent mantle dolman, to b
] worn on a "not too cold a day, IS
: golden brown velvet on velvet brt

e raised on a darker pile for grounc
The back drapery is arranged in thic
: outstanding pleats let in just belo
the waist line. The bodice which I'll
g in at the back is trimmed with exqui
e ite embroidery OF garnet, amber an
V brown beads. The dolman shape
sleeves are mass Of simi ar embrci'
ery on plain brown velvet with chez
lille centres to the leaves, and dee
fringes of chenille border the sam

d The effect is sumptuous and elegant
/. refined.
There is no lack Of ADJUSTMENTS,
all kinds. Booths engagement IS
be characterized by an assumption
old new roles. Those irresistibly flu
y ny fellows Harrigan and Hart are
of of it again, in spite of the fire whit
as swept away at one fell stroke a CO
u hundred tho sand. Pluck is SON
times a fair equivalent for luck, al
,s 81 they have so long made the fun a
T music for the million in New Yol
lf- the public would find it little di
as cult to do without them.
