rCcPYRICHT, 1927

New York is at its best at an impor-
6ant first night. When new piece is
put on women in the audience as well
as upon the stage put on new clothes.
To see Mrs. James Brown Potter in
''Therese Raquin" the other night came
black dresses in any numbers, with
square bodices, with white lace falling
down over them. There came pale pink
gowns also, half hidden under fawn-
colored cloaks, and dark red gowns
under trailing black wraps or chestnut
colored cloaks lined with green.
The new shades Of purple and violet
kept my eyes busy the best part of the
evening. 1t seems to me they're best
when there's least of them. There was,
for instance, pretty blonde little to

which IS brought down the front Of the
bodice and caught with jewels here and
there. This gown VIII be short-vaisted

chosen, has a gold and green Marie

the skirt front, falling from the left
shoulder like scarf and caught with

were. rperhars, as well worth talking
about as any toilets of their order this
season is likely to bring forward. Rose
pink canel's hair made one of them,
with shaggy white fur hands TO edge
its skirts and A hint of white plush
under the cape thlUt fell back from its
shoulders. A pinh felt t1lrban was its
finish, with garni-ture of heavy white
plumes.
A butternut broaTu-rib5oed velvet made
an odd dress, the heavy stl:tf showing
dark in the shadows between the
ridges and tawny anon the elevations.
1t was worn by a woman as slim as
Sarah Bernhardt used TO be, and was
made after fashion possible TO nobody
of more ample proportions. Straight
from the high collar at the neck 1t fell
to the feet in a long, graceful half-ht-
ting princess robe, laGd in double box
ulait at the back and in another in front
and lying on the ground In trailing
curves. A little, hjgl1-sholldercd cape
came just TO the elbows and was fin
ished with sable band. More fur
crossed the front of thesrob bedand edged
the train behind.
Another dress which in its own way
was even more unusual was a shadow
silk whose green shades passed most
unexpectedly and incomprehensibly into
pale blues. The long hasq71e was the
only thing of it's sort have seen, with
it's Vatican back, and its full front fall
ing from great triangular evers laid
back from the shoulders, TO show an
under bodice of creamy brown silk
edged at the throat with sable fur and
embroidered in silver. The Tapping re-
vers showed a design of the same silver
thread more coarseiy wrou ght and com
ing together over the bosom in. a great
silver clasp which held hugc bunch of
violets as in dainty hand. Sable and
silver edged the skirt and the basque
draperies and sable and silver trimmed
the little black velvet toqre which was
the costumes complement in millinery.
At another house, where, good gowns
go with clever conversation, was con-
sidering yesterday skirt of deep red
cloth, full and yet, if you closely con-
sidered it. narrowly gored and bordered
at the bottom with black fox fur.
Above the fur was a roll of black velvet
and above theHelvet rows of gimp in
red and gold. A long bleGk velvet coat
The Wichita daily eagle., 1893-01-06

came down over this sIctt and hid its
glowing gluries to the knees.
Somehow women in these elaborate
costumes are formidable. Before you
can consider whether CT not they are
humanity ilaable you have to get over
your awe of their clothes. l never get
over it nor attempt TO do SO, and 80
womankind remains to me brilliant
but faraway spectacle.
One of theitens of the fashion parade
at Daly's revival of "As You Like IT,.
was pale yellow doeskin-colored dress,
thicl1ly dotted about the bottom with
jet and garnet cabochons. A garnet
belt confined it at the waist and its
most notable feature was the immense
half-cape of bucklsklin, cut like a huge
Charles IX. collar, with the ends elon-
gated in front and laid IN a deep tabot
fold. In the back this queer cape looked
like collar pushed down on the shoul-
ders, and from every point of view il
glittered and gleamed with its beaded
gimp edge, studded with jet and gar
nets.

nuts or apples or candies.

fourth letter, "h," signifies half the

/ hesitate to criticise a game Of pre-
sunable antiquity, but it seems TO me
that if each player were required 20
''ante" one chip before spinning the
top the pot might stand better chance
of becoming worth while.
However, the game is capable Of In

Jews were formerly in the habit of
giving Christmas presents much more
than now, and even of having trees
decked in the usual manner, but the
thinking Jews have frowned upon the
use Of trees in their homes as an unwise
CONCESSION to Christianity, while admit
ting that the Christmas tree Us of rather
heathen than Christian origin. In re-
cent years there has been greater strict-
ness in this respect. and, really, Chan
ukah seems to do about as well. The
only trouble with it Is that it bobS
about so, turning up one year in De-
cember and the next holding off 10 tho
very end. This is due to the peculiar
ity of the Jewish calendar. The or
dinary Jewish year is only three
hundred and ffty-four days long,
but every leap year has an extra
month, thirteen not being at all an un-
lucky number to the Jewish mind, and
these leap years occur seven times in a
cycle Of nineteen years, so that all the
feasts and fasts vary nearly month
according to the Christian calendar.
ChanulIah was celebrated IN many Of
the Jewish synagogues this year on De-
cember Is. which. being the Christian
Sunday, was secular 10 the Jews, and
hence both convenient and appropriate
for merrynaking on a large scale. 4
Chanukah celebration in one of the big
synagogues was not unlike the Christ
mas festivities OF the old-fsshioued
churches in spirit, minus the Christmas
tree only.

the fashionable color about her, and
nor long time couldn't quite see just
how it came in. It was there, but you
couldn't place it until steady looking
established the fact that it wasn't in
the least In her hat, but was altogether
in her veil. OF course, one shouldn't sit
veiied at the theater, but, supposing
this rule to be disregarded, the violet
film that lay against the yellow hair
and didn't hurt the pink complexion
was a deal prettier than purple hat
could ever hope TO become.
There are some astonishing things in
the aforesaid new shades. One Of the
sesson's debutantes who bids fair to be
as well known and "a dressy as her
mother, sat in stage box in a purple
cloth gown with a very full skirt-sus-
piciously full, as if inflated with in
,cipient crinoline. Black braid was laid
ION for trimming in quaint and odd de
signs that reached the knees. The
bodice was curiouslY fashioned after an
antique model and had profuss trim
rnings Of cream lace, peeping out from
with pale blue silk lining. Would
YOU think such a frook could be pretty?
It's all matter of taste. The debu-
tante liked it and that's enOugh-for
her.
Another purple gown was worn by
society matron. The ground color was
soft and rather pale and had narrow
Istripss of black velvet running through
1T with long and almost shaggy pile
The dress was belted at the waist with
black watered ribbon and the bodice
was short wasted and cut with a black
ribbon zouave.
One of tho Christmas brides wore a
thin and almost gauzy purple silk that
was very simply fashioned with a lace
fIill about tho square cut neck, a big
sash falling from a big bow behind and
big apufF sleeves / didn't remember
her so much, though, for her dress as
for her hair, which curled about her
