Three Redfern Gowns.

While at Balmoral the Empress of Russia
ordered from Redfern three very excellent
gowns. One is composed of a 'zouave and
SKIRT in petunia faced cloth; the zouave,
handsomely embroidered in self-colored
cord, is worn over blouse in the same
color OF surah silk; the yoke is prettily
Knocked, from which the fullness falls
straight to the waist, being confined by a
deep-draped sash. The sleeves are closely
rucked from shoulder to wrist"
The second has a "coat and skirt in a
deep shade of petunia faced cloth. The
coat, smartly cut in the double breasted
shape, has collar of velvet, the revers
being edged with narrow braided design
in fancy silk cord of the same color
The same cord is employed on the orna-
mentation OF the hem of the plain skirt,
cut in the latest shape. With this costume
is worn a soft silk waistcoat, draped with
jabot effect. The revers are tastefully
cut and the effect of the velvet collar is
excellent"
Most simple is the third and last, for the
''coat and skirt are IN black and white
tweed, quite simply made, the coat OPEN
ing with long revers showing the plain
close-ftting waistcoat of the same ma
terial. MARCELLA.

Fashions For Men.

Positively the political excitement dur
ing the past few days has been so great
that l almost overlooked the fact that
THE CALLS subscribers expected to be
kept posted concerning the latest styles in
ties, coats, trousers, etc. However, as
many have been awaiting the result of the
election to give their winter orders, 1 will
at once give you the result Of my observa-
tions. We are informed monthly now
that green and red tweeds are fashionable;
nevertheless. none of the smartIy attired
men pay any visible attention TO this an
nouncement. Evening coats with velvet
collars continue to be regarded as ex-
tremely bad form. A New York CORE
spondent writes US that "a few OF the hunt
ing youngsters will appear at all hours at
fashionable restaurants in the very start
ling plaid velvet waistcoats, which 1 must
confess are also beyond me. Well, they
will all vanish once the horse show is
over"
There is decided tendency this winter
to use rough cloths for overcoats, and
beaver is preferable to melton. A we'll
built overcoat should be moderately loose,
have fly front and be single-breasted. 1t
should reach to about two inches below
the knee, and have two outside pockets
and small one also for tickets; they
should have no flaps, and the pockets
should be one on each side of the coat, but
not breast one. Those not in mourning
prefer dark brown beaver 10 black or blue.
Concerning evening dress, says the
highest authority: "There is but little il

Carnowsky wore blue brocbe satin, the
bodice ornamented with appliques of

capote of the same lace with sapphire

other pretty dress was Pompadour silk,
vert d'eau ground with pattern of roses

black velvet bow.
1t is no longer fashionable, 1 am happy
to say, for our mothers to appear in SUBJ
stantial black or gray silk, with the tradi-
rional collar or frill of lace at the throat.
Instead they are quite as exqui-
sitely and tastefully garbed as their
pretty daughters and wear what
ever colors or shades that suit them
best and the richest and rarest OF en-
broideries, laces, etc. Women should re-
member that "they are no older than they
look, and should take every precaution

Light Colors in Winter Modes

The world CT fashion will feel through
out Its length and breadth this influence,
as in Paris it has created great demand
for Iight-hued winter fabrics, as, for in
stance, light beige cloth, incrusted with
gu1pure and bordered with tlny Jet
spangles and beads, will be worn for
dressy occasions, such as matinees and
marriages. White cloth is also now en-
ployed by several OF the great dressmakers
for the elegant costumes being evolved.
One of these at least should be described.
SO l select the daintiest.
The skirt is embroidered at the hem in
an ivy-leaf design in white and gold. The
blouse is in white mirror velvet, opening
over chemisette Of Irish point upon
white satin. Over this is short bolero.
with rounded embroidery, which forms
very novel and effective trimming. This
bolero is open at the back as high as the
collar, whic III like the waist ribbon, the
revers and cuffs, is in maize-colored vel
vet. For small dinner parties cloth prom
lses to be very popular trimmed with
zibeline. Not many years ago this fashion
enjoyed great vogue.
Very fetching is another creation from
big house. at is beautiful Louis XIV

becoming revers in velvet. slightly full at
the shoulders, showing the white satin
lining, and finished of with a narrow bor-
der of feathers. The same trimming or

upper part of the bodice is composed of
cream guipure, which can be removed

which the dress is required >,
Wide collarettes of zibeline made upon

sapphire-blue velvet trimmed with ap-
plique lace, coffee colored. Much black
jet is employed, not only on the bodice
but on the skirt as well; four lines extend
directly down the front, and from them
radiate twelve short lines which terminate
with handsome circular ornaments. The
for very tall and slender woman the high
serrated collar and the double revers would
be most unfortunate in their results.
Rather effective is reception dress OF a
pearl-gray ladies' cloth. with collar OF
ruby velvet embroidered in Turkish pat
tern in gold and silver. Three narrow
folds of the velvet trim the skirt and the
same number the sleeves, which extend
far over the hands. The neckband and
corselet are of soft folds OF the velvet.
From Maucheret's also comes theater
wrap in a cloth turquoise blue In color,
adorned with broad bands OF silk-em-
broidered roses and buds. Down the front
extends a panel Of white lace, across
which are bands of the cloth, held in place
by two ornamental buttons. Round the
throat is full ruche of chiffon.
Irather like two other New York gowns.
One is debutante's frock OF shell-pink
crepe de chine trimme ed with pink chiffon
plisse. A sash of pink taffeta encircles the
waist and is carried up the back until it
reaches between the shoulders, and there
it ties in large bow. the ends of which
reach the skirts bottom around the low
cut bodice and around the hips are many
rows of shirring, and the sleeves are in the
model too bouffant to be considered abso-
luteIy new. From the same dressmaker
is young girls dress of dark-green cloth,
trimmed with applique of the same shade
OF velvet EN- broidered and outlined in jet.

or embroidered. Buttons will be much
worn, placed everywhere, without the
least idea of being used or useful, only as
ornaments. These buttons are topazes,
amethysts and turquoises, either real or
well initiated in colored glass, and set in
gold or silver; openwork steel is alsomuch
used, but the prettiest are Egyptian IN
style and resemble ieweled beetles.

Donovan and Mauchepet.

And what do you suppose Donovan's
very latest gown is composed OF? Simply
OF baby lamb. The skirt is full and the
coat is short and pleated and has very
handsome vest OF ermine. The cuffs and
revers are of orange velvet, and although
we are not SO informed, the costume is
doubtless lined throughout with an orange
hued silk. A rich heavy lace overlays the
inner collar; jet bands. A good-sized bow
OF black satin tied Ia crayat is chic at
the waist line. At the left side is quite a
large bow of black satin, with ends that
reach to within about ten inches of the
bottom of the skirt. The gloves worn
with this are stitched with black, and the
black velvet hat and its great sweeping
bunch of cocks feathers is assuredly effec-
tive. But although Donovan is sim ply
raved over by many New Yorkers, can
didly admit that there are two
dressmakers here at least who certainly
create quite as chic models. Indeed,
many San Francisco women have been
sadly disappointed with their New York
gowns, and one OF our social autocrats who
is one of the best gowned of women on
leaving lately for her Eastern home had
quite number of lovely toilets made up
here, and since then she has written to
friends saying that her frocks compared
most favorably with any she has seen.
Women make great mistake who leave
home for visit of month or so with the
intention of having all necessary garments
made while in New York or elsewhere. as
II they patronize fashionable dressmakers
they will not receive their clothes until it
Is about time to return home, and as a
natural result cannot fully enjoy their

Worn by Theater Queens.

Truly superb were two of the creations
worn by actresses at the Theater Francois
on the occasion of the Czar and Czarina' s
visit. Nine. Bartet was attired in a mag
nifcent white satin covered with an an
plique of lace embroidered with silver and
pearls. at her waist was clasp repre-
senting Russian eagle in diamonds.
The small lace sleeves had rows of sable
running around them.
Nine. Baretta in white Mechlin lace
over pink MORE, with a narrow row of
sable around the hem and pelisse of white
MORE covered with seed pearls and silver
mbroidery, was. both artistic and beauti-
full and the divine Sarah, who recited at
Versailles, was wonderfully appareled in
a grand conception of thick white damas
embroidered with feathers, outlined with
diamonds and opals, low bodice draped
with lace, and the Russian eagle in the
front with the i'm perial crown in diamonds 9
and pearls.
A recent Paris bride wore a gown of
ivory satin. The skirt was plain and
trimmed; the bodice, la Valois, was
adorned with bullion tulle. and a row
of orange blossoms surrounded the neck
band.
- thlo hSooinS SeseIdl tOlIelLeS OF rare
elegance excited much admiration and
great were the varieties in styles. For ex-
ample, the groom's mother was gowned
in long-trained skirt OF the richest black
satin, lined with violet taffeta glace, the
ruffie being accordion pleated, edged with
black lace. The cIose-ftting bodice had a
corseiet belt and reyers embroidered with
amethysts, gnimpe of crepe embroidered
IN gold and violet; the same crepe formed
the cape, which had knot of briiliants
and mauve aigrette. The brides mother
was picture in Louis XVI robe. 'The

Only general remarks have thus far been
made concerning the CZarina's beautiful
robes which excited admiration in critical,
art-loving Paris. At the dinner given at
the Elysee, which was followed by visit
to the opera, the EmI ress wore a glace
silk, pale blue in hue. The rarest and
most exquisite lace adorned it; the train
was very long. The following evening
her costume was equally worthy of imita-
ton, being of delicate rose satin elabor-
ately embroidered with pearls; creamy
lace formed a Iuche around the low cut
neck. On all occasions her Jewels espe-
cially her diamonds, were simply magrif-
cent. When visiting the Louvre her toilette
of pearl gray broadcloth was COMPLETED
with white capote trimmed with yiolets.
The extreme simplicity of this dress was
admirable.
At an afternoon fete she appeared in a
silk of delightful pinkish lilac shade and
a toque composed of light violets and
white aigrette. At another dinner this
attractive woman elected to be garbed in
a gorgeous white brocade with a very
lengthy train. At the review at Chalons
she looked radiant in an elegant costume
of peacock blue silk, with collet cape of
the same, bordered with sable and
capote to match the dress. Nine. Faure wore
during the imperial party's stay several
gowns most favorably commented on;
for instance, one was an ivory velvet
frappe, with black and colored bouquets;
the skirt was plain and the bodice had
revers and white lace; capote of mauve
glace velvet, with pink aigrette and chou.
At a dinner party most becoming was
her robe of silyery gray satin. at an after
noon reception Mile. Faure wore gray
velvet made with a pretty bolero, literally
covered with gold embroidery, the cein-
ture was of gray silk chiffon, and her hat
of blue velvet, with an algrette and a
cache peigne of blue and violet marguer-
ties. Her sister. Nine. Berge, was in beige
velvet frappe, with flowers in darker
shade; close fitting bodice, with revers of
ivory satin embroidered with gold in the
empire style; black satin corselet with
large strass buttons and sash of laurel
green. The sleeves long and plain, but
draped en- papillon on the shoulder. In
the evening Nine. Berge appeared in a
pretty dress of pale blue faille, with
corselet of darker blue velvet embroidered
with gold and silver in raised work, and
round the shoulders a fall of point d An.

and her daughters on the various occa-
sions were manufactured expressly at

With respect to the charges that Wash

Il seemed no less than proper that the
Colony OF Virginia should settle a pen

It took Washngton's direct influence to
prevent such action being taken by
the Virginia Legislature. Nearly every
letter of the mother Is n complaint or the
hard times and the difficulties under
