remarkable for its ~softness and beauty. Some
Of the heads of historic characters look almost
like miniatures of them. and IL is common to
insert them in medallion style.
For the first time a really beautiful fan in
black and gray has been brought out. For
years fan buyers have been compelled to listen
80 the CON plants Of cid ladies' a.d younger
ones in light mourning as to the ugliness of the
fans designed to meet their needs. This year
the manufacturers have made something that
is sure to please the most tastidious. The fan
GENES only in the twelve-inch size. Its back
ground is of tne quality Brussels net, and APP
pliqued on this by means of steel spangles is a
gray gauze or flower design sufficiently large
to meet the border OF the fan at ton
and bottom. The sticks are black wood.
This fan is rich aud elegant, and at the
time not too conspicuous for rather
n sober toilet. The price is SIS. Last springs
styles in fans have been greatly elaborated and
a little enlarged. That is about the only change
except the unusual gorGeousness shown in their
decoration. 1t surpasses anything. yet, go of
course prices have advanced somewhat though.
as | said, the woman who has only SO to put in
a fan can get u beauty for her mite. while she
who has $500 to invest is able to obtain one that
will make every one open their eyes and stare"

The opening week of the opera serves a double
purpose IN the fashionable world, since II prac-
tically inaugurates the season for evening dress
and supplies the lesser lights of fashion with
many valuable hints for their future costumes.
II IL is true that the most artistically dressed
women are those who fairly sacrifice their beauty
sleep trying to think Of something which is not
worn rather than something which is, 1t 10 also
true that the majority Of women copy rather
originate, and are only too clad to survey the
boxes with their opera glasses in search Of
pretty ideas for practical use.

and silk lining, making three skirts In one; but
they are SO carefully fitted around the hips that
they are not at all clumsy.

evening dress this season is the harmony of
color brought about by using several shades Of

Ing color to bring out the effect. Satins. with
raised patterns OF velvet in varying shades of

the pompadour pointed waist and a finish Of
Jewelled tulle and handsome lace around the
neck and over the sleeves. One model among
the new evening gowns has a pink satin skirt

The variety OF neck novelties for transform

for evening wear is beyond description. but hero
are a few illustrations which may help to solve
the problem, which often seems SO hopeless:
Chiffon and white satin ribbon form the first
combination. and another more elaborate affair
has a zouave effect of Russian guipure, with vel

ribbon, chiffon. and lace fashioned together like
the third model have a very good effect, and
q simple theatre waist of crinkled chiffon Ia
trimmed with bands of black velvet, edged with
cream lace.
The opera cloaks are very elegant this season,
but as usual they are in every possible size,
shape. and color. Brocaded silks In bright and
dark colors. with gorgeous Towering. is tho
leading material. but velvet and cloth arments
take their place in the motley throng. and chin
chilla, ermine, and the cheaper grades of light
fur are used in the trimmings.
