In the seats downstairs and in the upper

that is to achieve toilette claire, as the

seen of fancy nets. lace, ETC., dainty opera
bags, fans and a smart couture giving
these the required touch
A Well-Dressed Head.
In fact besides the light waist a great
deal depends upon a weIl-dressed head,
which must invariably show some species
of ornament Charming bows of diamond
dotted velvet or of tinsel ribbon are to be
found in the shops for this purpose, and If
the waist is sufficiently dressy. one OF the

In the boxes the beautifully dressed heads,

For gowns of fairly simple sort, cloth
is the best cloak material, and unless the

edged with fur are also in demand. These
may be of velvet or brocaded silk, but
as they are always big enough to go over
the slipper they cannot present very small

Preferred opera gloves are of white suede,
and while the majority of the fans are on
the tiny old-world order, many of them are
huge and built entirely of ostrich feathers
Indeed, there Is quite a revival in big

Ihe Short caracui Jacket is certainly one
OF the most fascinating OF fashions fads

costume such as has already been descrih-
ed 1t Is most attractive. and yet when with

fascinating. The acme of the fad is reach
ed In these coats dyed to match the gown
pale blue, mauve. etc. Very smart they are,
too, and yet the white or black somehow
seem to be more popular
Dyed gray squirrel is another fad in the
short fur jackets, and also in the stoles and
muffs. Brown is the color to choose, and
the fur can only be recognized as squirrel
by close observation, for 1t seems like
much richer and more expensive skin, and
compares most favorably with mink In col
oring and effect.

NEW YORK, December 81, 1906.
The opening of the opera season has
brought costumes of superlatiye magnifi-
cence to the fore. The materials of the
winter are all splendldly suited to grand
opera use and the fancifulness. of some of
the gown and coat models exploit them TO
perfection
The highest note of elegance and ex-
travagance is struck in all of the opera
models, for 1t is in the atmosphere of song
that society shows off its finest clothes
Nothing that is not ball-lke in cut and tex
ture is ever seen in the boxes. and the guam
THY and magnifcence of the jewels worn is
dazzling. In fact, grand opera is SO dis
tinctIy the privilege of the young matron
and social leader that young girls are never
considered by the makers of the superb
French garments
The simpler opera effects are made ex-
clusively to order. and since young girls
not yet out are generally seen at the matt
nees, number of the bodices of these are
high Opera parties are usually given for
the young folk during Christmas week,
when exquisitely dainty toilettes are seen,
with such delicate trinkets as are allowed
the young.
In point of texture the quantities of satin
used in the imported garments plainly dem
onstrate the fact that the great makers con-
slider satin as first choice. Inc qualities en-
ployed are of sublime softness, and such
tints as are seen show the faintest blush Of
color.
Faint grays and blues which are almost
opalescent show in some splendid gowns,
inset with rich lace or draped with tulle
and tinsel flowers.
Tinsei in some form or other appears upon
all the gauze and tulle and net costumes.
Sometimes 1t is most delicately employed,
but again the gold design will be almost
savage in its gorgeousness. Especially In
the brocaded silks, which are largely en-
ployed for Vatican cloaks, and are much
worn by elderly women, are the richer gold
designs seen, the flower patterns employed
taking on sometimes archaic stiffness.
For instance, a magnificent cloak of white
silk was patterned with shaded white
and green tulips OF the stiff ecclesiastical
sort and each flower was outlined in the
most barbaric way with silver thread. An
edge of sable trimmed the cloak all round
with inside rutfles of silver-run tulle.
Fairy-Like and Fierce.
This blending OF fierce animal skins with
the most fairy-like textiles is lovely
feature of the season. and to see tulle
dress bordered with fur and decked with
gold or silver flowers is to have taste of
the higher esthetics in dress.
The enormous popularity of gold trim
Tnings has. however, quite exhausted the
finer imported sorts, SO that those who al
ready have evening gowns trimmed with

Reception Toilets.

How charming are the reception toilets
at this period! There is much enthusiasm

pire coats In velvet, worn over the plain

Empire Styles.

There is no doubt about 1t that all the
important fashions of the moment may be
more or less designated empire. From the
most beautiful sable cloak to the simplest
girlish tea gown this beautiful period of
historical fashion leaves its indelble i'm

certainly looks well in these beautiful old

are brought up to date by the many de-

them birth.

THE PUPULAR SONGS.
Singing Them as a Holiday Pastime

Singing Them as Holiday Pastime
For filling in odd moments during holiday
weeks. boys and girls at home from schools
and colleges find no more favorite pastime
than the playing and singing of popular
songs. There is surely no more delightful
way of starting the ball of fun rolling
and the topical and ragtime pieces have
become so melodious that they give pleas
ure to old as well as young. In fact. so
many of the latest songs have their themes
taken from old and fayorite classical music
that they are well worth the time and at
tention that is given them by the rising
generation.
This does not mean that 1t can ever be
any help to pick up popular piece of mu-
sic and play 1T off as If 1t were break
down jingle. There Is an art In rendering
even the most commonplace tune, and here
are few rules set down by successful
topical song writer.
Always notice the time mark at the head
of piece Play 1t in this tempo and no
matter how simple the song may be or how
often 1t may have been sung, 1t will take
on a. new meaning when played in correct
time. The words will sometimes aid too
in showing the spirit of the piece and the
chorus seldom follows the tempo Of the
verse.
Play the bass notes strongly and emphati-
is more satisfactory than woman's. He
strikes the lower notes with determine
tion which gives an underpinning to the
melody. II any of the notes have to be
sacrificed, let them be those played by the
right hand. II necessary carry simply the
tune, with this hand, but give a strong
bass accompa niment with the left.
Make a decided beat on the first note OF
each bar. It viii carry the song with a
swing that nothing else can give. It also
helps greatly. in keeping regular time, a
point which Is all important. In ragtirne
or siyncopation, an emphatic beat on the
hrst note Is the regulator Of the uneven
time and keeps the inexperienced player
out OF a tangle of notes.
Do not hurry. This is common fault
with all amateur singers. while the person
at the piano must hold them In check by
moderating the time just a little toward
the middle and end OF the song. This usu-
ally results in merely keeping an even tenn
DO. as the natural tendency Is to increase
the time.
Play soft rather than loud. If the melody
is brought out clearly the voices will fol-
low quite as well as when a strong, hard
touch strikes the notes The tones OF the
singers should be heard rather than the
piano. and the effect to persons in the
room win be decidedly more pleasant.
