NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Authorities on
fashions say that 1895 is to be a year of
exaggerations. In no respect will this be
SO marked as in the way the women will
wear their hair. For a year past they have
parted their hair in the middle, eschewed
bangs n hidden the tips of their ears.
But in 1895 my lady's hair will be drawn
over the face SO that part of her cheek, IA
bit of her eyebrow and all of her ear will
be oblivious. The graceful knot at present
worn in the nnpe of her neck, through
progressive evolution, will become the I'M
slightly bun OF 40 years AGO. And it is ru-
morcd where nature has ~ been generous
and a woman's own browning glory is not
sufficient false hair will again become
fashionable. Horrors!
The corset is again the object of ami
mus, and womcn of fashion inc the stage
are expressing themselves very freely as to
whether or not it is Indispensable. 1t is IL
singular fact that in all the crusadcs
against the corset so few people attack the
present fashionable shape. For some years
past the recognized good figure is one of
abnormal length of the waist and equally
abnormal height of the bust. AS a con-
sequence all the SO called bust corsots
arc cut on lines to develop and cxaggerate
these particular points, with the result
that a fashionably dressed woman RESENT
bles nothing more than Il swelling top. In
an evening dress she is immodest, and at
all times she is unnatural. Gcrome says
the most beautiful line in a woman's figure
is the length from that point in her throat
just below the fullness to the extreme
point of her bust. With the present style
Of corset that line is just about half as
long as it should be.
A society woman in evening dress MAX
ing lobster a la Ncwburg in a chatting dish
was one Of the recent sights in a fashion,
able restaurant. This new fad in ultra
fashionable circles (but quite old in b.
hemia) of preparing oneself a favorite dish
for the latter the theater supper has
quite caught the fashionable fancy. 1t
was started, SO it is said, by a young soci-
city man, who, objccting to the way his oys-
tiers were prepared, ordered a chatting dish,
whereupon he prepared them himself, to
the establishment of the waiter. The story
was repeated, and the idea caught On, and
as nearly everybody has a recipe of their
W for the concootion of ~favorite dishes,
like Taffy's exclusive recipe for salad
dressing, it IS becoming a common sight
after the theater to see quiet little groups
around restaurant tables occupied with
chatting dish and samovar.
What will the society girl do without
the fancy waist when once that useful and
ornamental article of her wardrobe be-
comes a discarded fashion? She has learned
what luxury it means to have three bod
Ices to one skirt, and never probably in
her career has she looked so we'll at so
small an expense. The popular skirt is of
black satin or MORE, 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 embroideries, with
delicate tints in chiffon, making some of
the prettiest combinations.
Many well known society women who
are boxholders at the opera nave this sea-
son been giving their boxes one night each
week to the pupils Of different schools for
young women. The number Of boxholders
who volunteer their boxes is constantly
increasing, and the custom is to be Kept
up during the entire season. The object
is worthy, for most of the girl students,
many of whom come from towns many
miles away, would be unable to afford
even a gallery scat.
