NO neck at all, no sleeves, very little
waist ana long train. Put all to.
gcther with plenty of jets and beads,
auu lew ostrich feathers of color to
sun the taste, make the skirt to fit tho
hlps rs tightly as Il glove fits the hand
and You have the recipe for n ballroom
dress.
Inc gowns worn at the grand opera
and those seen ut the New Year ball
tho Charity ball and all the other grand
balls of the season were wonderfully
alike. Perhaps the trains that were
worn in the opera boxes were Il trifle
longer than those seen in the ballroom.
Perhaps the sashes-for every dress has
IL sash-that were upon the fair owners
OF opera boxes were u triflc more flow
ing than those which graced the gowns
OF the maids and matrons who dsported
in the may dances of the Patriarchs,
the Charity and the New Years balls
But, aside from these trifling differ
ences, the gowns were very much the
same, and woman who wished to do
so could easily transform her opera
gown into ball dress with the trifiing
services of her maid.
A very lovely dress which was seen
Mt one of the previously mentioned balls
was worn by Il beautiful Spanish
woman. The dress was of black lace,
caught up around the skirt in festoons
and fashioned with punches of ostrich
feathers. The waist, what there was
of it, was covered with Jet, and the
shoulder straps consisted of Jet butter
lilies. a touch of yellow was introduced
IN the gown by means of Il ruching of
yellow satin, which edged the bodice,
both front and back, and was also per-
mittcd to peep out from the bottom of
the skirt
The very low cut corsagc was assisted
by lunches of ostrich feathers which
were masscd at front and back
After all. there is nothing as effective
for evening wear rs all black or all
white. There are sure to be dozens of
blue dresses. scores of pink ones, and
such variety of yellow and green and
cardinal, That one cannot hope to be
distinctive i'll ones gown if arrayed in
any of these colors, or in any of the
standings of them
But let Il woman dress all in black or
all in white and she is Il distinctive
feature in the room. She is as effective
and as noticeable as Il black mark upon
white wall.
Moreover, black and white arc almost
universally becoming They subtract
nothing from ones color, and, if proper
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1892-03-01

.ly r1ssataa they add great deal in the
way of bringing out ones natural tone.
Take, for example, black gown.
Select any material you please, pro-
vidcd it is of n good shade of black and
is of fine goods, whether of silk or cloth
or lace. Make it tastefully, fit it we'll
and then put it ON and look at yourself
in the glass.
The dead black against the Wilderness
OF your skin brings out all the pure
tlnts OF the latter and reveals to you
peachblow hues and lily tones that you
never drcamt You possessed when other
colors were contrastcd with your skin.
The gown is effective from the con-
trast, and when you enter q room with
it on you feel as if You were not making
one of Il general bouquet of color, but
you have feeling that you are toning
down and quoting, as well as setting
off to advantage, the gay colors by
which you are surrounded.
To be sure, an all black ballroom as
> sembly would rot be n cheerful thing
all without color. But you know, there
is no danger of anything like that hap
pening. The buds-the young girls not
yet out and the debutantcs of a season
or two-arc sure to be dressed in white
The dowager.i arc in lavender or purple,
and the lovers of pink and blue are sure
to be there in great numbers arrayed in
those colors.
Then there are brunottes, who must
wear yellow. and there are blondes,
who wear pale green; and so, my dear
average woman, you who are neither
blonde nor brunette nor dcbutante nor
towagcr, you need not fear that your
black gown will cloud the assembly, for
1T will merely set it off to advantage
and make You more distinctly eff
fective than you could otherwise hope
to be.
All white is very much the same. al
though it is less universally becoming.
and with people who are stout there is,
always the fear that white may have n
tendency to increase the size.
