FASHIONS
For receptions are trained dresses OF
velvet Rembrandt red, gray blue, pistsche
green, or Of white uncut yelvei, made with
high and low bssques, and lightened by
gilt and crystal or pearl emborideries on
tulle used as a transparent over light
satin, and only disclosed as a petticoat
where the velvet drsperies are drawn back
on one side, or left TO serve as panel
down the front, perhaps showing at Il e
loot across the entlre front.
Art dresses after designs BY English
painters are imported in soft, cIinging
Grape fabrics, especially that with deep
crinkles like the japanese Grape, and also
of velvets. These are cream white, silyery
blue, pale green or dull red, and are made
with soft flowing draperies dropping from
the shou.d ers down underneath the arms.
and pointed on the sides, with Grecian de-
ST ms embroidered in beads on velvet for
their ornament. OtheIs have high wired
collars, and still others have the bodice
gathered without a collar, and with all
these dresses are pulled sleeves hangingin
soft fulineSs from the shoulder to the ell
bow or else the flowing angel sleeves drop
ping tar below the arm.
Some short dresses of Bengaline,
French faille, or any silk that Grapes easily
are ag In shown in short dancing lengths.
and the novelty is to finish these ut the
foot with pinEed silk bands, and trim
them with plush and passemeneteries.
The plush appears in q pendant ribbon on
the lett 81 lie, falling from large rosette
on the hips and extending to the foot
These plush ribbons are about six inches
wide, and are used as revers or bretelles
on the silk waist. The passementeries are
of silk cords mixed with silver or gilt,
and form festOOns, or points, or rounded
border for an apron. This is very hand
some i'm lavender Bengaline, with the pas
sementerie of silver and lavender cord, and
darker shade for the plush ribbon.
For evening cloaks long garments are
liked with short dresses, covering them,
while for trained skirts these elegant wra' 5
have the backs short, leaving the train
free, while the fronts are long, reaching
to the foot, and on these frOuts the trim
ming is most elaborate embroidery. Plush
of rich and becoming color is the favOrite
fabric for these clOsks, and the warm lin
ing is OF the white Chinese or Thidet lamb
with long crinkled fleece, luxuriOusly
warn, aud OF immaculats whiteness so de-
sirable next the dainty toilette. Chinchilla
Innings are used inside red plush oaks,
and the creamy fluffy badger-skins are an
Tuner facing III golden brown plush wraps
that are richly wrought with gilt ard
herds, ank edged with a fringe OF the
same.
Visiting dresses show new combina-
tons of cloth with Bengaline, the clotL
being used for the warm lower skirt and
the soft silk forming graceful drapery with
Wis BILE selyages above ii. Fur Is also
used In a new way for trimming these
cloth petticosts, being arranged in deep
points around the foot, and in smaller
points or revres on the basque. For in
stance, a brown cloth skirt with a foot
pleatiDg of pinked-out brown Benga:ine
silk has above this in front and mp each
side upright Joints or pyramids of natu-
raj beaver, with a border around these
points of gold and red cord embroidery or
braiding. Brown Bengaline about three
foHrths of a yard wide then serves for the
drapery, being drawn across the upper
part of the front * an apron, showing
the SelvSgc. caught high upon the hips
and forming long full back draper; on
the sides the selvage Of The Bengaline falls
in a bot, which is lined with cloth, show
ing also the cloth selyage an inch wide
and much rougher than the smooth cloth.
Now that war has been declared on
the high hats oTu at the ;ieIs good tactics
would suggest some graceful way for the
fair enemy TO retreat. This msy be d, ne
by giving a description OF few very be-
coming theater caps or scarfs which can
easily be carried In the hand or pocket,
taking mp 10 more space than a handker-.
chief. Escorts will readily be found who
are willing to take charge of these precious
trihes, which are not crushed in carrying
and can be adjusted either in the lobby or
after TAXI g ones seat. A very pretty ca
pote can be made in this way: One cor
Der of triangular scarf IF pink cashmere
is either cut of or is turued underneath
Tor about eighteen inches, and this bias
edge or fold is laid over a stiff cape lace
five inches wide and long enough TO 60
around the face. A band of garnet velvet
or a rich lace is lad upon this
foundation alb ut one inch from the edge,
a al two rows of large pearl beads furnish
face trimming SNOWY enough for any
theater. Dainty scarfs of cashmere or
surah, or anv soft and becoming tint, with
rufIles OF Spanish lace abont the fac, are
Away exceedingly dreSsy, and wearing
these is commendable step toward the
foreign custom OF rem wing the hat and
letting the hair, handsomely dressed, be
the only ornament for the head. III es-
