NEW YORK FASHIONS.

 FiliGree is very fashionable in jewel rV and the long chains which remain as much in vogue as ever are special opponents of this kind of work, being added to by stones. either real or inn itation and the latter. as we know. are not the abhorred thing sof other days. Beautiful tiaras are seen in small pearls. In brooches the varieties shown afford evidence that they are in much demand Heart-shaDed brooches showing a diamond at the center with circlet of precious stones are among the prettiest of designs and large ston- es are not infreQuently set around with smaller ones. Brilliant serDeuts are coiled for women's adornment and birds, either Singly or in pairs. or groups of three or five. contribute their qrota to the same purpose. sometimes single bird being set on a crescent. Shaded green leaves tipped by small diamonds that correspond with one at the center, are very tasteful: tiny flowers. chiefly roses. are combined with crescents and horse shoes in plain gold showing gold leaves and a dia- mond at the center. are on the same orded as gold wishbones with q small pearl or diamond set on one side. Flags are also a fashionable device in brooches.
 In Necklaces.
 As befits the season, there are many interesting devices. Gold network pointed with pendants of turquoise. pearls or other stones are stylish and fligree collars having a large figure it the center are also worthy of mention Straight collars in fligree with stones set in a single pendant of some con- trasting stone divide favor with those showing pendants of small pearls made into loops. Other collars display small enameled leaves tipped by a minute pearl and q change is given by pearl shaped pendants and leaves alternat- ing. Elegant collars have small stones set very near each other, with five lar ger ones at the center. There are nu pendants and bracelets to match. re- peat the pretty story. Quite an idea in
 Reception or Evening Gowns
 Is to have removable yoke, so that the former may easily be turned into the latter and the great variety in sleeves of dressy gowns lends itself readily to such change. Thus while elbow or even longer sleeves are ad- missable for balls, there is no trouble on any score but that of the easily ad- justed yoke. Recent performances of "ParsifaI' which begins at o'clock. and with an intermission for dinner, lasts until midnight have brought about new combinations of afternoon and evening dresses. A society leader ap- peared first in a black cloth skirt with black coat to correspond. Later was eXemplified in a special manner the nf i'm i.-tl since by the removal of coat and hat the lady in question appeared in a dressy corsage and stylish coiffure. These Parsifal performances are so unique and different from what fash ionables have been accustomed to that the matter of dress has been sub ject of no little speculation, but it goes without saying that the independent waist has helped many a society wo- mar out of difficulty. Certainly the | regulation evening gown would have i been out of keeping but the eye has grown accustomed to dressy waists at | any time except morning, and pro- priety is satisfied with q skirt of cer- | tain sombreness. however expensive t | might be. Fine cloth and other recep- | ton dresses have also furnished the | desired medium in style.
 A Lovely Gown.
