Special Correspondence of the G b e:
VIENNA, Oct 29.-It seeems as #
fashion would scatter the wealth of the
KlOndike over her creations this year,
such is the glitter of gold that that
meets the eye everywhere. This is par
ticularly evident in the up-to-date even
ing gowns where gold fairly covers the
soft nets and is woven into every deli
cate embroidery. Transparencies are the
prominent feature in every toilette, and
yellow is the newest color, every shade
of that warm color being employed, from
faintest maize to Velvety nasturtiium.
The very latest fad-and successful one
1t isis the combination of two distinct
shades OF yellow with a touch Of black
TO soften the effect, and give that incom-
parable chic which distinguishes the well
made costume. One of the most admir-
cd creations Of the season shows these
latest novelties and other features well
worthy of description. 1t has a founda-
ton. 1t has a foundation skirt OF pale
lemon peau de sole, yelled entirely with
fine silk tulle of a deep orange, the re-
suit being most artistic as well as strik-
ing and unusual The front and side
cores of the tulle are appliqued with
vertical rows of ochre gulpure, out
lined with gold thread and finishing with
n border Of the same lace in garland
design and also embellished with gold,
the black note of this color harmony
vet ribbon, which trim the short train
and vertical rows of narrower velvet rib
bon in clusters of two, an effective
finish to the lace in front, and the piece
de resistance is a novel decoration con-
sisting of swallows embroidered with
black and gray silk on pale velvet, the
natural shade of the birds being care
fully initiated. These swallows, i'll Vari-
Gus graceful flying poses, are attached
at intervals on the lace tabler. The
bodice has a tight lining of lemon col
Ored peau de sole, which is covered
with q blouse of orange silk net dotted
with gold spangles. The decorations of
the skirt are repeated In the bodice and
on the elbow sleeves which finish with q
ruche of mOusseline de sole of the uif
ferent shades Of yellow intervening be-
tween the lemon and orange Pleated
folds of shaded yellow mousseline~ de
sole also decorate the decolletage and
finish in front with jabot upon which
is posed an embroidered swallow. Swal-
lows are perched near each shoulder and
in front on the folded gird1e of black
velvet Another swallow it attached on
the coiffure.
The trend of fashion is decidedly aes-
thetic, brought about evidently by the
soft stuffs, clinging lines, and above all
by the particular purpose of making the
arm covering artistic. The undersleeve,
which is encountered not only made of
laces and mousselines for indoor wear,
but shaped in silks and VelVets on prom
enade tOilettes. and even on tailor gowns,
have developed most exaggerated forms
and has revived interest in medieval
sleeve fashions. Thus we have the so
called angel sleeves as is seen on a most
picturesque tea gown of pastel violet vel
Veteen. 1t has a shOrt-waiSted decolletJe
bodice of Velyeteen, fitted closely to the
figure with a vest of gold embroidered
guipuTe. A very short zouave jacket and
tight shoulderpieces are of the same
guipure. Below these shoulderpieces is
the long flowing sleeve Of violet silk
tulle, hemmed with a gold embroidery
The bodice terminates with a narrow
girde of gold braid studded with anne
thYsts and a gradually widening band of
gold embroidered with delicately shaped
silk and amethysts descend along the
front TO the hem of the lOng untrimmed
skirt of pastel violet velveteen. The same
design is effectively copied in ivory vel
Veteen, with sleeves of white tulle, the

year, not only for indoor wear, but for
street costumes as well, as in its mod
ern artistic manufacture it has acquired
q bloom that the strictly silk fabric has
somehow never been able to acquire.
