NEW YoRK, March Ito be quite fash
ionable now one must wear a string of
pearls morning. noon, evening and night.
At morning they are considered very te-
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 a heading to the high
collared walking dress which is worn upon
all street occasions, save calling and thea
ter going. AT evening nothing could be
lovelier 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 of only while
| their owner arranges her tresses for the
night, AID are again put securely on to be
worn till morning. jewelers. say that
pearls are preserved by the wearing, and
that constant friction and exposure are
necessary to keep the pure, clear, creamy
tint which Is the admiration of all pearl
lovers.
Elaborate coiffures are the rule rather
| than those Of severe plainness. In copying
the Greek and empire styles the curl 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 50 constructed that
a mass Of curls tops the coiffure and from
| the center of the mass peeps one curl in
saucy prominence.
On the forehead the curls are brought
low down in the center, or if the forehead
is low the curls are massed on each side
Strings Of pearls and hairpins with bril-
liant TOPS are fastened around the coil,

Jewelry, brilliant pasSementerie and COL
ored stones are seen in what would, a year
ago, have been considered vulgar profusion.
1allor-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 a girdIe
are upon tae bodice. Very deep passemen-
terie, profusely studded with colored stones
trims the hem Of many tailor-made skirts
and shoulder pieces of the passementerie
are brought down the sides of the bodice
| zouave.like to meet the passementerie girdle
A very forest of fancy pins is seen. Two
are used to fasten the high collar. One IS a
heart composed of three moonston es in a
| cut silver setting. The other is a flower, a
cut silver daisy, perhaps, or a pansy in
| amethySts and gold. Gold and silver are
| frequently intercommingled. A gold
| pronged pin is seen with silver head Amber
and gold are still a favorite combination.
All the small vegetables. such as peas in
| the pod, beans, tiny lettuce leaves, small
| beets and miniature sprays of celery stalks
with fluted gold tops are seen upon hats and
| 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 upon
the street, but even these are yielding to the
craze for orilliants to such an extent as to
| permit themselves to wear jeweled flowers

A certain headdress seen at the Astor~
| Willing wedding was composed Of a crown
| OF Jeweled forgetme-nors 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 q single
! spray OF forget-me-nots back of the couture
Pale green and pink make a favorite
| ombinstion. A beautiful evening gown
| shows pale pink ground, upon which are
| green chestnuts outlined in their burrs.
| From the point of the low bodice down to
the bottom of the skirt extends panel of
| green velvet which tapers in at the waist
becoming scarcely more than half an inch
| wide. Jewele1 passementerie extends down
| each side of the velvet panel. The sleeves
are of chiffon caught into puffs with bands
| of passementere.
A French evening gown lately imported
/ is white satin in material trimmed with

| dykes. Feather trimming is used around
| the neck, upon the elbow sleeves and out
| lines the pointed bodice and panier
| draperies. The pauiers and the train are
| in white figured armure royale White net
! heavily beaded with cut silver beads is
| draped over the white satin bodice The
| backs OF the gloves are stitched with silver
| cord. A silver ornament is used in the
couture.
| An exquisitely pretty evening bodice is of
| pink satin. Heavy brocade is fastened at
one shoulder, forming puff, from whence
| it is brought down to make a drapery at
front and back. The edge of the drapery is
trimmed with sable. On the other shoulder
no putting is allowed, but, in place Of it. are
two white satin ribbons snugly drawn over
| the shoulder. Across the upper arm is a
| jeweled amulet and below it is band and
bow of white satin ribbon. An enormous
pink feather fan with silver sticks accom-
panies this bodice and silver comb with
amber top. The skirt is simply made of
pink satin with sable band and brocaded
train.
Lace is the prevailing trimming of the
day. 1t is seen upon toques, it forms the
basis of tiny puffs, it adorns glove tops and
Is used for founces upon the skirts and
| bodices of street dresses.
An old rose street gown had deep fiounce
| of black net lace around the bottom of the
skirt. The fl ounce was cut in points in
palm leaf design. Another gown, a French
| gray, was trimmed with narrow black lace
box pleated closely around the skirt.
Chiffon and Bengaline are dividing hon
ors IL wedding gowns. At the Astor-Win-
ing wedding more than twenty toilettes
were either draped or composed of the
former, while Bengaline was almost as pop
ular.
A wedding gown recently ordered is to
have a train and bodice of Bengaline. The
front of the skirt is to be of white net en-
brodiered in silver and pearls. The pointed
bodice front will be composed of the en-
broidery, as viii also the high color
