PEARLS AGAIN IN VOGUE.
Every Woman Who Pretends to Be
in Fashion Wears Them.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
Every woman who pretends to keep up
with the fashions in neckwear must own
pearl necklace of some kind. The most popu-
lar fancy just at present is for a tight collar.
consisting of some five or six strands. held
in place by diamond slides. These collars are
what might be called dog collars and are
very fashionable in velvet studded with steel
turquoise.
With decolete gowns a collar of some kind
around the neck is de rigueur. Often it is a
satin ribbon and bow to match the gown, but
generally one of these pearl collars is worn.
Women of wealth having strands OF
pearls strung in this fashion and as it does
not lnJure the gem in any way the conceit is
a pretty one.
1t has become quite the fad to make a col
lection of pearls. Many society women are
starting the fashion of receiving one pearl
as a gift TO add to the long rope, the dog
collar, for which she has a fancy. The idea
IS novel one, or 1t may, perhaps. have orig
mated with the queen of Italy whose famous
rope of pearls is composed of most exquisi ely
matched gems, each separate one the gift OF
the king or of some friend
One woman announced before last Christ
mas that she would accept a pearl as a gift
TO make her Christmas present. Her col
lection of pearls is quite a large one even
now. and as each pearl is added in the order
IN which 1t is given she tell just which
gem was given her by each friend.
the little pearl collars fastened by brilliant
slides slides. are, as rule; composed of what are
many strands as the taste of the wearer die
tates. 1t is a becoming style, for the pearls
make even homely neck look pretty.
Another fad in connection with the pearl
collars is the long, fine chain worn around
the neck as a watch chain or for holding the
lorgnette. These chains come in great va
rlety. They are very popular. as they form
not only decoration for the bodice or jacket,
but are also a great convenience either at
tached to a watch or a lorgnette.
Some of them studded at even distances
WIFI tlny pearls, rubleS, emeraldS dia-
monds; others again have tiny Sides studded
with turquoise or precious stones In any
case: to meet the present demand they must
be jeweled. Never before were so many
jewels worn. The up-to-date woman fairly
sparkles as she rustles along. Many women
silver or gold woven purses now so much
worn.
The infinite variety of uses to which these
fine, delicate chains may be put makes them
not only luxurious but necessary adjunct
to woman's attire

New York were recently beSieged with
applications for costumes that would
enable the Wearer to assume the char
acter of the cat. The supply was not
equal to the demand, and ii was there
fore necessary to call in the assistance
of the makers of fancy dominos
These responded to the appeal by sup
plying a number of masks that fitted
over the head of the wearer, giving him
or her all the appearance of a tom or
tabby cat clothed in a dress suit or
wearing a Worth costume.
Thus appareled and disguised the
guests assembled on the night men
toned in the invitation and kept up a.
cat revel that was voted by all to be
the most successful affair that has
been given in New York society this
season. The identity of every guest
was well concealed. 1t was impossible
to distinguish in the cat-headed dane
ers an aged beau from a beardless
youth and whose features were con-
cealed behind the smiling smirk of a
smooth faced tabby cat no one could
guess.
The affair was given at the house of
Mrs. Heber Bishop. No. 881 Fifth ave-
nue.. On the floor were 175 members
of the smart set disguised as cats
Everything was made to harmonic
with the general idea. The more kit
teniSh were the actions of the women
the greater the interest they excited
among the jewellers. A snarling display
on the part Of tom met with applause
and any one who could initiate the
feline language with sufficient skill to
give life-like imitation of a midnight
concert on a roof was sure to be sur
rounded by crowd of cheering mask
ers.
1t was known only to the initiated
that, behind the bewhiskered counte-

DAYLIGHT DECOLLETE.
Daring Innovation Made by Miss
Mabel Mckinley In washington.

From the New York World
She dare do all that doth become wo-
man." has been said of Miss Mabel McKin-
ley, niece of the president whose appear
ance at Washington afternoon functions has
inaugurated the daylight decolete That it
doth become her to wear low-cut bodices
Is an undisputed fact, for her throat-"the
singers throat'-and her shoulders are
handsome; but the sensation caused by the
first appearance of Miss Mckinley in evening
dress at o'clock tea was far spreading.
Astonishment was followed by that imita-
ton which is the sincerest iattery." and
thereafter young girls and matrons were fire.

after luncheon.
Mrs. Heistand wife of Maj. Heistand U.
S. A.. an aide Of President Mckinley had
assisted In receiving al q tea in a scarlet de-
collete gown early in the season. but the
pretty little dark-eyed woman ESCAPED much
criticism. being lately from the West"
Mrs. Heistand entertained at a tea only
short time ago, in honor of Miss Donavin, of
New York, her guest, Miss Barber and Miss
Mckinley, guests at the White house The
hostess wore gown with high bodice of net
over low-cut satin waist but not so those
who assisted. Miss Donavin's white satin
costume was Partisan, all pearls and cerise
velvet about the low bodice. Miss Barber
wore low neck gown of frilled and furbe-
lowed mousseline de soie Miss Mabel Nc
Kinley sat at the foot of the winding stairs
and served smiles and punch. She wore
decolete gown of lavender silk with frilIs
of chiffon, and fringe OF artificial violets
dangling about her shoulders. The violets
were criticised because she is young and had
the White house conservatory of fresh flow
eTs to choose from, but her gown undeniably
became her.
No better proof of the official influence Of
capital society can be given than the adop-
ton Of daylight decoilete. By decree Of
Paris and Vienna gowns for evening wear
have been growing higher and higher since
the season began. Even on square cut bod
ices those mists Of millinery, tulle and
chiffon. hover, ciouding alike the lovelfness
of beauty and the wreck of effete fairness.
The presidents niece has set fashion how
ever, and many here follow it.

Correspondence The st. Paul Globe
NEW YORK, Feb. 24-From a be-
diamoned social leader to the lower
animals is far cry. But members of
the exclusive set of New York have
made pronounced hit by assuming
characters that belong to this much re-
moved order of being. The cat ball
may be regarded as a function that has
come to stay in New York society. 1t
is one of the most unique and interest
ing conceits that has yet made it's ap-
pearance among the body of people
whose chief pleasure it is to think up
original plans for making time fly
faster.
