Correspondence of The Journal
Evening wraps range from the medi-
UNI length white jacket trimmed with
gilt buttons, to the long white zibeline,
broadcloth or black silk coat, either
three-quarters length or covering the
entire costume. Black, white, hell
trope, gray, tan or champagne color,
are all included. Lace applique figures,
cluny lace, passementerie bands,
tucks, or an entire lace covering over
satin, sometimes dotted with ermine or
yellow lace figures placed on white
medallions, represent the leading styles.
A small yoke, either embroidered in
contrasting colors with pendants at
tached, or having several velvet folds,
or lace cape, and sleeves are very full
with cuff or wide and flowing.
THE DESIRE III HAVE
an attractive evening dress at small
expenditure is best attained by using
simple dotted net, either black or white,
over silken lining with two wide
ruffles on the skirt and three or four
rows of imitation lace inserted in each
ruffie. A handsome sash is always
great addition, and both plain or figured
are equally fashionable. The waist
should be arranged in harmony with
the skirt, and elbow or very short
sleeves are a matter of taste.
NET BoDICEs
are too attractive to be displaced, and
a new variety shows wide passementer-
lie, often edged by chenille silk or jet
fringe, put on around the shoulders and
sloping downward at the front Such
bodices require no special fitting and
not only are the loose fronts advan-
tageous in softening ungraceful out
lines, but they afford partial conceal
ment for dainty little silken hearts
tiled with ribbon) containing a pad
saturated with a favorite perfume.
Faint glimmerings of pink, blue or
lavender may be seen through lace
front or perfumed silken putfs are
sometimes tucked into sleeves. No
wonder then that the atmosphere of
fashionable apartment is redolent with
a fragrance in which the ever refresh
ing presence of Murray & Lanman's
Florida water is apparent, this being
one of the most popular scents for this
purpose and it's brisk freshness is pre-
ferred to the heavy extracts that are
avoided by the refined
ORNAMENTS FOR THE HAIR
are so charming that they tend to miti-
gate the ungracefulness of the pompa-
dour roll. Small wreaths of wisteria,
roses, gilt leaves, cedar tinted with red,
or orchids, roses, cardinals, marabout
feathers or miStletoe on single pins,
one and all are literally sprinkled with
Rhinestone sparks. Delicately tinted
suede gloves for evening wear have to
a considerable extent superseded black
or white and the eight button length is in
great favor, although other lengths are
still fashionable. Lace mitts are also
largely used for dinners, receptions or
teas, at such varied prices as to suitssall
tastes.
SHOES FOR EVENING WEAR
begin with black patent leather Ok
fords or slippers, the latter with beaded
straps or plain, trimmed by hand
some bow with a Rhine or steel orna-
ment at the centre. Black velvet, kid
or suede complete the list of black
slippers, and chiffon rosettes, lace or
ribbon bows (the former spangled)
metal buckles or butterflies, impart a
very dressy appearance to even the
plainest slipper. AS the slippers and
hosiery must now match the dress, the
variety of shades in kid and satin slip
pers were never more extended.
OPEN, WORK HOSIERY
comes in every fashionable hue and
white or black as we'll; but colored en-
broidery on black is the largest field for
display. A single design on the instep
is novelty; for example rose, spray
of lilies -of-the- valley, carnation, or
small gilt basket full of daisies or
forget me nots. Clusters of small
flowers in natural colorS are also a
dainty ornamentation.
