THE NEW OPERA HOOD
REMINDS ONE OF PICTURES OF Es-
aUTMAU WOMEN.
While Far from Becoming TO Many
wearers, They viii BE welcomed
by Theater-Gofng Men.


The question OF evening wraps that will
cover the modern party gown is a trouble
some one in the fashionable world. The
faring skirts. Immense sleeves. deeollete
corsage and pompadour hair. as well as the
fiat. require peculiar covering. The opera
or party mantles are long, fur trimmed and
like a circular. The opera wrap is a crea-
ton not to be compared 10 anything known.
1t. as we'll as the dress under ii. may have
gauze. fur, silk, jet. or more varieties of
material If the taste and the pocketbook
both hold out. One OF the novelties is the
Marie Antoinette hood seen on many Of the
capes. 1t stands out so we'll from the hair
and at the same time Is such a protection
TO the head that 1t would seem to have
solved a difficulty for fashionable women.
Truth would compel the statement that this
~headgear will not be becoming to all faces.
and the smooth hair and seyere lines will
not show 10 as much advantage as Will the
couture arranged a Ia pompadour. This
hood is wired to keep 1t in place and at the
same time hold it off the hair. 1t can be
made up by itself, separate or apart from
the opera cloak, or can be part OF that
garment. II has always been a vexed ques-
ton as TO what looks well on the head en-
route TO ball, opera OF dinner. The wear
ing OF any jewels, particularly tiaras and
coronets, is shown 10 great effect under
these hoods, and will make the opera foyer
this winter a more striking tableau than
ever 1t is a foregone conclusion that the
belle OF 1866 will have more colds than
she ever had before, for all Of her dresses
are so bouffant that her wraps will scarcely
touch her.
