labor'of love, represents money value
of at least S250,000. The collector Is q
close friend and stanch partisan OF Sir
! Edwin Arnold, whom | met In the
rooms, and who assured me upon his
honor as light OF Asia now allumina-
ting the barbarian West, that nothing
more beautiful ever came ont OF Japan,
or for that matter remained there to
make the collector unhappy.
This Is what IL means 10 live In New
York. All these things here set down
and very many more may be added unto
you If your pockets are well lined with
that whose love is the root OF all evil.
To most OF US 10 seems that the lack OF
money Is a lot worse than the love OF IT,.
That there IL fortunate many who do
not lack the fashions OF the minute suf-
ficien:ly attest. A bride Of this week
has in her trousseau just eighteen even
ing gowns. not one OF which came
under 500. One OF them was
OF the richest pink satin brocade, yelled
with pale blue embroidered chiffon,
caaght up on waist and skirt with chrys-
anthemums formed OF pink and blue
baby ribbon. The neck Is draped mod
estly high with q mass OF pink and blue
forget-me-nots nesting at the right
side. The companion gown which Is
laid away in the wardrobe OF a beaut-
full dark-eyed debutante, against the
night of her first dance at Sherry's, Is
| likewise OF satin brocade-a rich ivory
white. The skirt has narrow frill at
foot and a yelling OF the finest white
Brussels net, edged with very full
puff. over that falls second skirt OF
the same fine white net, embroidered
with roses and leaves In vivid scarlet
chenille and shaded green silk floss. IL
is edged with broad shallow chenille
wrought scallops. A puff OF the net
hides the junction Of waist and skirt,
the neck is draped high and the sleeves
end in q ruffie falling over the arm.
But II you happen to be scrawny In
stead Of plump and dimpled. you need
no longer be a figure Of fun in evening
dress.
Its rsckoned rather swagger, Indeed,
20 wear high gown enthusiastically.
A good model had a skirt OF rosy
heliotrope brocsde. plain, bat exquisite
ly cut, and sweeping out In moderate
train. To wear with IL there was a
lonpish coat OF the softest fine wooden
cloth, exactly matching the brocade
ground. 1t mad long sleeves with deep
cuffs and ruffles OF cream lace, a rolling
collar, neck friIl and very hand
some jabot down the silk front,
from which the cloth rolled back Ia
double revers. Beyond question IL was
a mighty fetching combination. but one
that would require for its successful
wearing the temper OF cherub and the
complexion OF a seraph. For only q
bodiless wearer could hope to escape
soIllng its trieksy tint-which has a
further habit OF making most wearers
who put Il on look pslY purple or
greeny yellow rights.
Having exhausted the odd, the BIZ
zarre, the impossible, headgear gives
signs OF returning sanity. Witness these
three heads. The bonnet Is OF soft
flutei velvet with high pulled crown
and handsome heron feathers. Wide,
very rich passementerie Is laid fat over
the brim and ribbon velvet strings come
on, from the back. The wide bat IS OF
cloth laid smoothly over shape and
trimmed with lace plumes and row Of
gold galloon. The third, a French felt,
Is very small and fat, with a wreath OF
tips, a spotted black and white wing
I rolling back, and cluster OF velvet
loops moderately high 81 the back.
have left myself no space to tell OF
gloves and Gchus and heaps more small
things which are really the great points
OF the toilet. As last word takes the
assurance that the sable boa crushed az
beneath this young woman's chin Is the
very model and pattern Of at least a
hundred that habitaAlly promenade on
Fifth avenue every fine day. When We
have "a nipping and a. eager air. you
see sealskin galore. This close fitting
sacque Is much affected By by girls well
In twenties- Buds wear the tsuntisI
