To WEAR IN THE EVENING.
The Girl of Fashion and Her Many Beautiful
Dresses.
Dresses.

New York. January 1s.-tspecial Cor
respondence of The Post keep your
iorgnette at your eyes. You will need IT.
Not one. not two, nor yet three new
gowns will the girl Of fashion wear the
next three weeks but dozens and dozens,
all differing as the East does from the
West
Only five weeks remain between now
and Lent aud in that brief interval she
must gown herself anew every evening
and fresh every morning.
The very height of extravaganza in
feminine wearing apparel has been
reached. When a simple flmy yard OF
goods, thin as spider web, white as
driven snow, with violets scattered over
1t in silk threads, costs forty dollars;
and 1t takes twenty-five yards to make
q gown, then you can guess what chance
there IS for the survival of the purse of
mankind. Such was one of the gowns
worn at Mrs. Arson Phelps Stokes
fancy dress ball the other evening. The
subject of the costume was THE Violet
in the Snow" The wearer, pale blonde,
dressed herself in white and violet, the
white as soft as snow fake. and the
swirts OF her gown heaped one over the
other, In the fashion we call tunic, until
they resembled snow drifts. Her jewels
were pearls.
But fortunately there are less expen-
sive ways to gown yourself
A black tulle is Ideal for effectiveness.
Mrs. Beach, the bride. who was formerly
Mrs. Hayemeyer, wore an exquisite black
tulle the other evening. It was long,
all the way around. but specially sweep
ing in the back. The foot Of the skirt
was jetted. Underneath the tulle was au-
other skirt of tulie; and underneath was
a black satin skirt without gloss. The
dull blackness was immensely smart, re-
lieved as it was by the wink of the Jets.
Jets are saucy things; they wink al
you so Unexpectedly. They are a cheer
full trimming too. perhaps Just because
of this tendency to wink.
AS IL to refute the whispers that she
has had difficulty with the duke and
that, owing to a family quarrel he is
going to the Transvaal to be killed by
the Beers, Consuelo, duchess OF MARI
borough, appeared the other evening at
"a small reception given by one OF the
maids of honor OF Queen Nictoria's court.
in a gown that was speedily cabled to
Paris; and there it was Immediately init
tated.
Its foundation, to begin at the bottom
was blue satin, plain and straight like
slip. Over this was worn black tulle
skirt embroidered with the most brilliant
red poinsettas, those ragged winter flow
ers that blossom so uxuriantly in the
florists windows and are so much part
OF church decoration. The great straggly
leaves were as red as blood and the CEN
tors were black and red and yellow Over
it all was worn another skirt of tulle

Neither Ia 1t necessary for woman to
take another's hand on being introduced
unless she wishes to express particular
cordlalty. There are cases in which per-
sons have heard much of each other
through intimate friends, and feel almost
as II they are acquainted before having
met. In such case if both parties have
formed previous liking for each other
through the kind remarks of friends then
II is only proper that such feeling should
be demonstrated by a clasp of the hands.
But woman almost never shakes hands
with man when he is presented to her,
and the man is guilty OF great breach
OF etiquette when he offers his hand to a
woman when she shows no inclination to
return this mark Of cordiality. Indeed,
he should invariably wait for the woman
to offer her hand first
