| golden flies; the train of satin wovefA&f
golden feathers, the corsege being in ems
| pire style, simulated by the embroidery
across the bust. The pulled sleeves are
of gold embroidered tuie. Five rows of
pearls are worn around the neck, held
together by vertical bands of diamonds,
and a chain OF pearls extends from the
left shoulder down onto the bust, and is
secured there by a trifoil Of three pearls,
one white, one gray and one pink. Aud
| as regards this string of pearls se:etched
from the left shoulder to the front of the
bodice, 1 want to say that it is the triple
extract Of chic nowadays TO do some
thing original and pleasing with
jewelry. In fact, nothing will now,
effectuallv stamp you as being
existing utterly outside of the charm89|
circle of refinement and elegance tha91
to wear your jewelry IN the style, and
the same places your grandmothetSr
even your mother did. Everythinis
"surprise now. Imagine my ami ke-
ment at the Tuxedo club house, to notice
that lady's lorgnette contained in its
handle tiny watch, tiny mirror and
tiny falcon of salts. and yet the handle
did not seem any more bulky to me for
all these ''surprises
Another of the more noticeable toilets
at this first fashionable dance OF the sea-
son, will be found quite wildly portrayed
in the second illustration, but you must
needs draw upon your Imagination to get
a full idea of its exquisite beauty. Pict-
ure to yourself, first and foremost,
figure of unusual height, erect
aud graceful IA lily slalk, sur
mounted by head, moulded by nature
in her happiest mood-for such this
superb creature had-and then imagine
this figure swashed up in rose petal
benga!ine with Il flowing train from the
waist. Upon the front of the bodice and
up the sides of the skirt there are grace
full punches of daisies IN black velvet,
cut out aud applied on the beautiful
silken material and then made part of
it by being lightly embroidered over and
jetted, producing an exquisite effect.
The bottom of the skirt has two bands OF
soft, pink ostrich plume trimming run
ming around it, and eurving around the
applied floral pattern and forming q
tablier. The corsage is cbsrmingly set
Off with very light and accordeon-
pieated domino cape of pink lisse, the
effect OF which is singularly happy as it
adds certain air of distinction and ele-
gance to the costume. A very full, very
long, ana very rich feather boa is hung
upon these beautiful shoulders, and i'm
parts an artistic finish to the ensemble
OF aturs and art.
One thing which struck me very forci-
bly, at this elegant reunion was the very
tasteful way in which the hair Is worn
this season, the manifest aim of the style
being to preserve the shape OF the head.
Hence the hair is gathered and fastened
at the back of the head in line with the
ears, and all the rouleaux, puffs and pin
cur!s seem to end there ana to be incor-
porated into the knot, which seen from
the front, 10 just visible above the curled
fringe in front. The absence of all or
naments from the hair 10 also a distin-
gushing characteristic of the prevalent
notion that il is useless to attempt to i'm
prove upon natures crown of glory-ex-
cept possibly by increasing it in guam
tlty when too scent, just as the noun
tain waterfalls are reinforced from reser-
vors in order to please the tourists.
The third illustration represents still
another of these charming ball toilets,
and this one is something quite different
from any Hing l have spoken of yet. 1t
