(From the New York Times.
On Tuesday subscription nights COM
nienced at the Francis, and on Saturdays
.hey occur at the Opera Comique. These,
with the Patti presentation, cell my
attention frsS to evening dress. Empire
styles modified to long waists seem to
enjoy ualimited favor. Coded satin,
with . bsnd OF Russian sable around the
bottom and a scarf Of the same encirciing
the low corsage and crossing in front,
meet with general attention. A wide
satin sash did not bunch up under the
arm, but WAS shaped downward, giv,rg
to the slight figure ali It's grace of out
line. 4 larg. feather fan OF the same
shade as the dress completed the toilet,
aud the hair, which was dressed on top
Of the head, was diamond and black
pearl corert. Three rows Of Oriental
pearls Of goodiy size were carelessly
thrown around the throat beneath. The
usual band OF fur was tied on one side
with yellow bow. The lady had
lorg half-ftting opera cloak of cream
crepe de chine heavily. embroidered like
an ordinary shawl, but al the outliats
of the flowers were defined in gold
thread. The long sleeves were finely
plated and seemed like huge white
wings. The collar came up very high.
1t was lined with feather bands, and on
the outside an ostrich boa fell to the
feet.
TIE toilets worn in the unsuccessful
play Jealousy" at the gymnsse are not
remarkable except for simplicity. Mile
Malvma has delicate lilac satin, perfect
ly pain, bat embroidered with narrow
columns Of gold reaching to the waist
On One side Was thrown cluster Of en-
broiGsred morning glories in ali their
delicate shades tWlnlng IN ard out OF the
gllttering columns. The lovely draped
stripes are Of crepe de lisse, with also
frlls about the V-shaped throat. Nile
Malvan wears also pale gray cashmere
braided or embroidered in black, with
tighs-ftting half-open jacket Of natural
seal. Inside the vest Is made of plated
cream tulle under cross bands of black
velvet. The other toilets were neither
novel ror interesting.
On the Paris buulevards fancy ball
dress could find many delightful idea.
\ foHer quartetis charming in a costume.
The lilly is represented by short white
satin fringed out around the bottom in
lilly leaves. The waist is a mixture of
SATIN and crepe de hsse, the latter form
ing folds and the former sort of twist
bruiding to conine them all. One side
Is made OF lilies pointing upward, max.

rulle eucircles the throat and.arms and
lilies crowd the blonde curl of the
couture. Violets pick out tulle of very
pale shsce, anda fringe at the bottom
shcFs pale green underskirt. An
emerald-green satin sash seems to con-
fine shower OF vlolets making the cor
sage. There are no sleeves, only jewel
bands OF amethyst poppy.
4 dress in satin over pale-lemon tulle
skirts has corsage made like leaves of
flowers i'll Satin, and green satin leaves
reach higher still, making low neck
with diamond dewdrops sparkling be-
tween.
a beautiful dress is one that is mass
OF embroidery on tulle, with broad
sash OF tendrils and green grasses and
brown stalks. A head dress is most
curious. the back of the head being
covered With tiny flowers made to lie
Tat and compact and increasing in size
to the front, where they form cornet.
Stockings ere all d-sh.color en- oroid-
oxed Il. Ao,v..s OH. tAe costume.
Daisy gar!ands are seen TO twist around
bare leg, while the poppy gathers itself
on the irstep and aukle. Violets dot
only pale rose tint, and lily points
downward from the knee. The dresses,
as they are, might be found too short
1or parlor wear, but otherwise they are
e1quislteIy faultless.
