The ball given by Mrs. Aston Monday
night ut her house in Fifth avenue was
quite as brilliant as any previous affair of
the kind ever given by this acknowledged
leader of New York society. Though 1t
lad been her intention originally to keep
the list of her guests down to the number
that constitutes small dance" Mrs. As

quests for invitations, and the list grew
until tho 500 mark was passed, Mrs. Aston
received alone, standing III the great
drawing room, whose beautiful Louis XIV
furnishings of rose color, white and gold,
called for no further establishment than
the roses and lilies placed In vases on the
maniels. Mrs. Astor's costume was OF pale
lilac satin embroidered with silver and
trimmed with beautiful point do Venise.
She wore some superb ornaments of dia-
inpnds.
Having paid their respects to the hostess
tho guests wandered through tho great
banquet room adjoining the drawing room
aud thence through the spacious marble
halls to the bail room. where dancing was

Whether or not The zebra collar has come

that it is here In all the glory of its pris-
matte colors can not be denied by those
who walked the streets Sunday. 1t burst
on Kansas City yesterday In amazing mum

The zebra is the latest fad in collars. 1t
appeared in Kansas City only about ten
days ago. modestly at first, but within the
last few days 1t has developed into an epi-
demic. The zebra is a high collar having
bands of color running lengthwise or hori-
zontnlly These bands are generally al
ternated with white, but this is by no
means obligatory. as here and there may
be seen bands OF red, blue, green and yell

Rattling over its rails OF steel,

for giving apparent slenierness and de

never, unless you select white as your
color, absolutely plain; make them up in

your cuffs and collars and insist upon n

with some little fullness in the front, no

belt swings well up in the back and tips

isn't tight enough to cause either skirt or
waist TO wrinkle. The long lines will
make You look slender enough in any case.
Garry yourself with extra straightness and
care. because the new waist doesn't help
out deficiencies of carriage and figure as
much as did the old one, and wear plain
little pearl buttons, regular shirt buttons
instead OF the studs, for which some people
have been predicting n return to popu-
