Correspondence Of The Journal(
Stylish evening hats are of tuIle and
fur, sometimes with a lace, silk fringed
scarf knotted at one side. This. however,
is an optional matter and in such com
binations fur often forms the crown, with
many tulle folds on the brim. Entire
hats are of chinchilla with two or three
ostrich plumes at one side, on brim of
chinchilla or sable. Many have a brocaded
silk, gilt OF appliqued velvet crown. AS
may be OWNED, the fluffy furs are in the
ascendency at present, and their unlimit-
ed use accounts fer the rather large size
of evening hats. Miroir velvet and fur
| lightened by lace rank next, and Rhine
stone buckles add their peculiar charm,
holding in position ostrich tips or high
velvet loops. The larger proportion of
evening hats are little off the face, and
the entire side filled in with roses is
charming for young people.
! SMALL ROSES
with white aigrette and one or two
Rhine stone stems make very pretty hair
ornament, or small ostrich tips dotted
with Rhine stone sparks, and the ever
present agrettes are much in favor. The

dressing as well as in millinery, and paint

| led butterflies all are welcome Lace
butterflies are particularly seductive, set
off with glittering sparks and having one
or more pair of wings, wired so as to
prevent any disaster consequent upon a
damp atmosphere. What could be more
poetic than a white lace butterfly among
pink rosebuds, the most charming of hair
ornaments The Pompadour roll seems
destined to last another season, presum-
ably because very thin hair (over cushions)
answers the purpose, and soft puifs at the
centre Of the back are readily supplied.
| INEXPENSIVE EVENING DRESSES
are of plain white or black Brussels net
or dotted net, beginning at - cents per
yard, some varieties in white dIapery nets
resembling the old style fish net, and a
pretty white net shows white silk embroid-
cred DOTS at 105 per yard Figured nets
come higher. and also white OF colored
| figured gauzes, for all of which there is a
great demand. skirts of these light
fabrics are appropriate with independent
waists. and the entire costume can be
easily made at home. The loose fit of
separated waists continues, and silk OF
velvet remnants cost comparatively little.
/ White silk embroidered in colored flowers
and leaves makes an elegant waist; or
velvet, with one or two rows of lace in
sertion let in, with a guimpe extending
down the front. Embroidered butterflies
on silk waist are very fashionable, or
canals about two inches wide cut from
shoulder to waist, and strapped over at
equal spaces with black velvet or silk folds,
having small button at each side, is
a pretty and novel characterization.

''Emeline Davis With ball costume
slippers usually match, but for an ordi-
nary evening dress, black patent leather
slippers or Oxford ties, or beaded bronze
slippers answer the purpose. Black,
beaded kid slippers are quite new, and
narrow straps across the instep orna-
mented with small steel buckles look
very smart, or one very large buckle is
sometimes preferred.
''Kittie Cheatham:' Evening gloves are
of varied lengths, because they must be
in keeping with sleeves, which are long,
short or elbow length. Preference is

with the delicate shades now so stylish,
and is also appropriate with co!ors.
