The copper country evening news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 18??-1907, 1897-10-09

the same day. There are displays OF
silks and velvets for receptions and Wis
ting. there are tons of wooden fabrics,
each differing from all others, and there
are diaphanous stuffs for the May dance
till one feels in fog. There are cloaks,
capes, ulsters cycling outfits and tailor
gowns and jackets beyond the power of
nv arithmetic. Bonnets, hats and fancy
goods like laces and made up neckwear
there are enough of, l believe, to hang
like blossoms on every bush in Central
park and have enough left over for the
Battery
1t is really difficult to single out any
one piece of goods or garment for men,
ton from such mass, but / will try.
In one place l saw piece of blue MORE
for evening wear handsomer than any
thing of the kind that ever saw before.
The color was rich and deep and dark,
but it was shaded into lengthwise
stripes, the darker shades taking up
more than thirds of the width.
Over this was thrown the MORE figure,
and this, again, was illuminated with
little pinheads in satin There were
striped taffetas in wide design on very
light and clancy" qualities and colors.
A plaid in shaded greens, the lightest
verging into straw and the darkest be-
ing spinach color, was said to light up
exquisitely. This same large plaid was
carried out in pink and reds, the light
shade being the soft and pleasing water
melon pink which is new this season.
One gown i'll course of construction
made Of this delicate shade of pink had
an overdress of pure white chiffon.
This softened the reds into more per-
feet harmony with the pink over which
they were laid. There are pretty plain
silks i'll one solid color and others deli
cately shot i'll opalescent tints. One
beautiful new evening gown had the
skirt made to fit closely over the hips
all around but the back, where it was
shlrred closely for width of four inch
es. Around the bottom there was q rich
embroidery in light olive green floss
and silver thread. | should have said
that the silk was in the new watermel-
ON pink. The waist was in blouse form,

dark olive velvet, and there were eight
upright straps of velvet set with little
rosettes of white chiffon. A crumpled
pulling OF this bordered the neck. On the
shoulders were fancy bows of pink rib
bon, with band of silver ribbon cross
ing the neck from left to right. With
this there were a black ostrich feather
boa and large black feather fan. This
Is model gown and one which is ex-
pected to be copied largely, with what
ever slight variations ones taste or
dressmaker would suggest.
The Russian blouse is at the top
round OF the ladder of popularity, and
from present preparations one may ex-
pect that it will remain there all winter.
IL Is made of every material now in
vogue One sees it everywhere, on the
street or i'll the inmost recesses of the
importers boxes. 1t is trimmed in ev-
cry way the most inventive fancy
could suggest, but braiding and vest
fronts are the newest. AS many have
ohe basque ruffie below the belt as are
finished with a belt. These belts, by
'ne way, are of leather, kid, ribbon or
Veivet and are narrow or wide, according
