AS a rule, only very youthful danes
WI! wear the long, exquisite wreaths Of
tuchsias and coral honeysuckle that
the dressmakers are draping on tul!e
net and liberty silk costumes. Older
women evince a great liking for the
most marvellous decoration done in Gle
mats ferns and leaves. A gray satin
gown done in Paris for Mrs. Wilson
had fringes of maidenhair fern falling
like tine lace in a bertha about the
shoulders, and edging tlounces on her
Louis XIV. skirt.
Another admirable toilet, but made
in New York for Mrs. Herman Oelrichs,
was o. the richest dahlia velours an
uQue, and no other draDery was used
than grape leaves, some green and
many warm with autumnal coloring.
The texture of the true grape leaf was
faultlessly initiated by the use of the
thinnest kid, painted to catch the
proper tintings. Lovely clusters of Gle
mats are made by using ostrich plu-
mage, and among the artificial vines
Japanese ivy, Virginia creeper and the
beautiful poison oak are copied
There was d hiatus of many weeks
in the reign Of the sash, but now that
sweet frippery has come up to time
with new method in its wearing. Ever

trimming for the shawl-shaped points,
and women seem to have tacitly
agreed to use only special colors with
thei favorite furs. Mink is lined,
and combined with yellow, chinchilla
with pale blue, and sable with auto
mobile red. The black furs are allied
most often with rosy puppies and the
popular, emphatic blue.
Decadence has truly laid it's blight
ing hand on the body fashionable, and
one expression of great smartness this
season is to appear in some perfectly
new and eccentric color. More daring
than automobile red is wasp red and
Merrimac, which is no color at all, but
a wild discord of green's, blues and yell
lows, an impression in color of the
explosion in Santiago harbor. Still an
other oddly are bedroom slippers made
Of mole skin with the velvety fur of
the little beast turned outward and
tiny diamond bowknots on the toe.
A dress all of chiffon and depending
for decoration on painted patterns is
one of the costly glories of a well set
UP debutante this winter. Painted
Liberty silk is another subject for ex-
quisite dressmaking and the cost of
such gowns is truly fabulous, for both
chiffon and Liberty silk are most diff
flcult fabrics to work with.
Not least among the typically de-
cadent ideas in dress is that of wear
ing a conspicuous bracelet with ones
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-12-04

lace or spangled ribbon edged with tiny
muslin hOunces, which, in turn, are
edged with narrow dark velvet ribbon.
The two broad bands are caught in at
the shoulder seam, run down to meet
at the waist line and then flow out to
the hem of the skirt. This is done usu-
ally at the rear of the gown, and on
evening and house toilets independent
~. 1t is very good suggestion to fol-
low in the renovation of an old black
silk dress, for instance. The charm of
the invention is, however that the ar
rangement is just as effectively applied
in front, if you are slim enough to
stand it.
UNCOMFORTABLE FASHIONS.
The latest prank in sleeve decoration
and this is a regular find for the
woman whose best dress sleeve is Civ
II = away at the elbow, is to make the
am bag in two pieces of Numerically
different goods and colors. To be more
explicit, if the inside of the 9rm is COW
cred, We will say with black silk, the
outside half is clothed in gray renais-
sance lace. or rucked moss green We
lours antique, or very fuIl-gathered
geranium red chiffon. The edges of the
outside half always overlap the inner
portion, which is usually kept quite
smooth, and in a plain dark color. Ere
QOOiAAAS d Sllh VI velvet sleeve any
solid tint will be thickly sewed with
jets or seQuins over its outer half. or
striped with narrow, perpendicular
bands of steel beads, or lace; or rib
bon, if the sleeve is a lightweight
goods.
The acme of smartness in a collar
these days is to have it grip the neck
close and high, and the height of it to
be cut in a series of points or scallops,
so that the face is held in fair imi-
tation of a rose calyx. Flowering out
under your chin you can have a big
tulle bow, wide brooch of lace or an
eighteenth century cravat falling to the
bust, but the foundation of the collar
is hardly more comfortable than a seat
in the stocks nor the hangman's moose
THE QUESTION OF CORSETS.
There is a deal of bother Just now
over the ever-lvely question of a prop
er corset. Two seasons ago French
dressmakers fatty refused to fit any
customer save over a corset that was
short, low at the bust, high on the hip,
and Boosting only three hooks in front.
1t is a well-known fact that as the body
is corseted, so viii it grow; but, hav-
ing introduced the princess and polon-
aise, the fiat has gone forth against the
short corset, and a deal of suffering
for the martyred feminine figure is en-
tailed by the present demand that
nothing but long corsets are fit for use.
The short corset has been always a.
gay and very frou-frou article. gar
nished at top and bottom with frills of
lace, chouX of ribbon and laced with
wide ribbons. The new corset gives one
a shuddering sensation of q straight
jacket. 1t is wholly unornamented.

are the breakfast coats that hail from
England, and that feminine visitors at
country houses wear to the dining
room in, the morning. An elaborate
black or colored taffeta skirt, that
smacks very much of the elegant IN
der-petticoat, is worn with the coat,
that is cut like a short-skirted polon-
aise, fits close behind, flares open in
front and shows a gorgeous lace and
ribbon waistcoat. In any pretty color
that suits your morning looks the coat
is chosen, and it is usually made of a
satin-faced cloth. In spite of this seem
ing elaboration. it is on the whole a
gay but informal, costume; the neck of
the waistcoat can be fiat pierrot frill,
and there are roomy pockets, both for
use and abuse, in the front of the
skirts. The taffeta skirt is sufficiently
short to show off smart slippers, and
the costume is Worn TO luncheon as
well.

year than ever and thrifty women
have had their ermine capes, collars
and muffs dyed a rich seal brown. 1t

WOMEN HARD LOSERS IN BETTING

washington Post.)


The annals of betting on the horses
on the part of the feminine contingent
are always comically tragic The wo-
men take the game very seriously, and
once they become interested they are
out to win" all the time. They are
"c1nch betters,' or try to be, and they
make no mental provision at all against
the loss of a single bet. They suffer
previously when their secondhand
information goes wrong, and their Sc
lections finish hopelessly in che ruck.
Women who are not hard race losers
are few and far between. A stout,
matronly woman, neatly dressed in
black, had a front-row seat in the
grandstand when the race meeting
opened on Saturday afternoon last. She
listened eagerly to the persuasive whis-
peringS OF one of the grandstand touts
before the horses went to the post for
the first race, and then she pulled a
bill out Of her reticule and handed it
to the shreWd-faced tout. He returned
from the betting ring shortly and hand
ed her a slip of paper. Her cheeks
were flushed and her eyes bright when
the horses passed in review before the
stand on their way to the post, and she
whispered, MiZpahi Mizpah!" in tone
that could be heard by. many of those
sitting near her.
When the cry, They're off" rang
through the stand she lleaped to her
feet. A famous plunger who had $4,000
down on the second choice in the race
stood beside her. cool as a cucumber
watching with his field glasses the
changing positions of the horses as
they sped around the track.
''Kinnidnics going well for a top
weighted horse" he said, quietly, to a
man next to him. "Billai looks as if
he's chucking it. There goes Himtime.
Well, WE'LL Mizpah's got the lead nowi"
''Mizpah!' hoarsely whispered the ell
derby matron, who stood next to the
plunger; and he looked around at her
curiously. Then he put UP his field
glasses again and resumed his soto

her grandson save with a woman who

Would that this were so. because only
a select coterie would then presume to

But milliners propose, and the ruck
of womankind dispose. Just now they
dispose to make the marquise the
reigning headgear. and it outclasses
all other hats at the rate of fifteen to
five. In itself the marquise is a charm

ing toque, invariably showing a tier Of
wings rising in front above the hair
and women love to wear it in a very
accentuated tone Of blue velvet. The
wings, whether white, gray or black
are always picked out in bright span
gled dots of jet, and in the rear there
is apt to show a scattering of flowers.
An adaptation Of the marquise shape
for evening use is the pompadour bon
net, a tangled web of lace or tulle,
rolled well back from the face, brist-
ling with spikes of Jet, and seemingly
so airy that it might float off its own
er's head at any moment. One great
charm of these little bonnets is the
possibilities of almost exact imitation
by the amateur hand they suggest, and
they can be worn to the theatre with
an easy conscience.

sapphires, a broad bar of diamonds

spiendor every time the wearer offers
her hand. Some of these are as heavy
as the huge napkin ring-like manacles
