! NEW YORK, Jan. .-Authorities on
! fashions say that 1895 is TO he a year Of
! exaggerations. In no respect VIII this be
! so marked as in the way the women will
/ wear their hair. For year past they have
! parted their hair n the middle, eschewed
/ bangs and hidden the tips Of their ears.
( But in 1895 my lady's hair will be drawn
over tie face so that part of her cheek, a
bit Of her eyebrow and al of her ear VIII
I be oblivious The graceful knot at present
worn in the nape of her neck, through
progressive evolution, will become the un-
slightly buD OF 80 years ago. And it is ru-
Inored where nature has not been generous
and q wOman's own crowning glory is not
sufficient false hair will again become
fashionable. Horrors.
The corset is again the object of ami
mus, and women Of fashion and the stage
are expressing themselves very freely as to
whether or not it is Indispensable. 1t Is a
singular fact that in all the crusades
against the corset SO few people attack the
present fashionable shape For:ome years
past the recognized good figure is one of
abnormal length of the waist and equally
abnormal height of the bust. AS con-
sequence all the so called bust" corsets
are cut on lines to develop and exageerate
these particular points, with the result
that fashlonably dressed woman resem-
bles nothing more than a swelling top. IN
an evening dress she is immodest, and at
all times she IS unnatural Gerome SAYS
the most beautiful line in woman S figure
IS the length from that point in her throat
Just below the fullness 70 the extreme
point of her bust With the present style

long as il should be.
A society woman in evening dress max
ing lobster IN NeEbUrg in a Chalng dish
was one Of the resent sights in fashion
able restaurant. This new fad IN ultra
fashionable circles (bUt quite old in Bo-
hemis} of preparing oneself fayo-its dish
for the after the thcater supper" has
quite caught the fashionable fancy. IL
was started so il is said, by young soci-
ETY. man. who, objecting 70 the way his oys-
ters We're prepared. ordered a chatting dish,
whereup0n ho prepared them himself, 20
the astonishment OF the waiter. The Story
was repeated, and the idea caught on, and
as neaTiy everybody hs- q recipe OF their
OWL for the concocticn OF favOrite dishes,
like Tafy's exclusive recipe fo- salad
dressing, it is becoming a common sight

What VIII the society girl do without
the fancy waist when cnce tba. useful and
ornamental article Of her wa-trobe be
comes a discarded fashion; Sne has learned
what luxury ~ means 10 have three bod
ices TO oae skirt, and never probably in
her career has she looked 50 well at 50
small an expense. The popular skirt is %
black satin CT mOire, faultlessly shaped
and absolutely plain. The bodices should
all be strikingly different, both in color
and design. Nor can they be too elabo-
rate. gold and silver en- nbrcidsries, with I
delicate tints in chiffon, making some OF /
the prettiesr combinations.
Many well known society women Who !
are bO1hoiders al the opera have this sea- /
son bcen giving their boxes one night each .
week 70 tie pupils r different schools for /
young women. The DuUb ber of boxholders I.
who volunteer their boxes IS constantly Z
Increasing, ara the custom Is - be bcp. .
NJ during the entire season. The obJec. .
is worthy, for most Of tire girl students, .
many Of whom CONE from towns many 4
miles avay. would be unable ~ afford \
even a caiisry ssa.-
