NEW YORK, March IL, 1891. = Especial
correspondence of The HERALD. TO be
quite fashionable now one must wear q
string of pearls morning, noon, evening and
night.
At morning they are considered very be-
coming above dainty breakfast gown, cut
just low enough in the neck to show the
fair throat of the wearer. At noon they
are fashionable as heading to the high
collared walking dress which is worn upon
all street occasions, save calling and thea
tire going. AT evening nothing could be
lovlier upon the skin than the beautiful
pearls outlining the bodice, or drawn high
around the throat. And at night when one
would naturally suppose that the pearls
had done their work for the day, they are
taken off only while their owner arranges
her tresses for the night, and are again put
securely on to be worn till morning. Jew
ellers say that pearls are preserved by the
wearing and that constant friction and eX-
posture are necessary to keep the pure, clear,
creamy tint which is the admiration OF pearl
lovers.
Elaborate coiffures are the rule rather
than those Of severe plainness. In copying
the Greek and Empire styles, the coil should
be always SO arranged that it ends in a
point at the back of the head. This is done
by means of puffs and curls, so construed
that a mass of curls tops the couture, and
from the centre of the mass peeps one curl
in saucy prominence.
On the forehead the curls are brought

Strings of pearls and hair pins with bril-
liant tops are fastened around the coil
strung through it, or stuck into its depths.
Jewelry, brilliant passementerie and COL
ored stones are seen in what would, year
ago, have been considered vulgar profusion
Tailor-made gowns, always remarkable for
their absolute simplicity, are now trimmed
around the bottom of the skirt with gold or
silver braiding Metal clasps and girdle
are upon the bodice. Very deep passemen-

A very forest of fancy pins is seen. Two

pin is seen with silver head. Amber and

All the small vegetables, such as peas in
The pod, beans, tiny lettuce leaves, small
Oeets and miniature sprays of celery stalks
with fluted gold tops are seen upon hats aud
at the necks of gowns.
| There are many people who consider such
display vulgar, and who will wear nothing
of the sort even in the house, much less up
on the street, but even these are yielding
to the craze for brilliants to such an extent
as to permit themselves to wear jewelled
flowers, lily-of the-valley, roses in tinted
coral and tiny forget-me-not.
A certain headdress seen at the Aston
Willing wedding was composed Of crown
of jewelled forget me-nots. 1t was very
high in front towering above the front of
the head at least four inches. 1t gradually
tapered toward the back ending in single
spray of forget-me nots back of the Golf
