Classification of Partisan Headwear.

From the Millinery Trade Review.
Many designations adopted during the

tinguish different classes of hats in the

follows that the "maroquin" OF today is the
reproduction of the .'maroquin" of yestcr-
day. any more than the sailor OF one season

explanation appeared to me necessary to

Special Correspondence of The Star.
PARIS, November 4. 1895.
Y HE marriage of Mrs. Ogden Goe-
let to the Count de Gontant-Bi-
ron, should it come off, as the
gossips say, will add another
rich and charming American TO
the Partisan exclusive set. The elder
brother of the count married the daughter
of Ambassador Leishman, and cousin,
Count Boni de Castellane is the husband
of Anna Gould. The prospective groom is
one of the most popular men In Paris ana
is an enthusiastic motorst. The bride-elect,
one of the richest and most charming OF
widows is the oldest daughter of the house
of Wilson, celebrated for its matrimonial
connections
Speaking of matrimony, is not every wom-
an at heart a matchmaker? If she Is not
matrimonially inclined on her own account
or on behalf of some near relative, she In
variably has some girl to marry off. The
consequence is the social season resembles
a medieval tournament in which the po-
sitions are reversed and the women are
jousting for the favor OF the knights. The
comparison is one that viii not be uniyer-
sally appreciated, but when one sees on all
sides how eligible men are run after, fawned
upon, fiattered and humbugged. can the
truth of it be denied? 1t Is all very well
to blame the girls of today for making
themselves cheap, but the fact remains that
they are cheap and that the poor things can
not help it. / Ambitious mothers are much
to blame for this state of affairs. Until their
daughters are married they are. not salts
fed, but before the daughter has started
ON the honeymoon the angling mother thinks
how much better she might have done, and
the rest of her life is spent in lementing
her loneliness. For the girls themselves
after the first two or three seasons no COM
miseration need be felt. BY the end of the
fourth or fifth season they are as hardened
campaigners as their mothers
4 y
OF course in the intervening years much
may have happened and beneath the fixed
smile may be concealed the sorrow of a
hopeless attachment But the modern girl
does not wear her heart on her sleeve or
invite the world to pity her. Hearts still
break nowadays, but the owners dance all
through the evening and talk the most friv-
olous nonsense and the only suspicion that
there is anything wrong will be found in
an unnatural note in a generation which
prides itself on being always extremely
bored.
It's wonder, though, that the men are
as nice as they are. For every eligible man
In society there are at least twenty-five girls
expectantly waiting. Perhaps the reason
for their affability may be found in the fact
that they realize that their popularity is
not due to any inherent merit but is merely
Il question of rank or money. OF course

The opening day and evening being COM

were in evidence. and there was notice,

such as usually mark the show, but the
advent OF the second day. with brisk
breezcs and penetrating air. was pro-

More than ever were worn gowns with

The wedding gowns this winter are TO be
very pretty. Stiff satin is not much used,
the craze for soft. cllnging fabrics having
invaded the realm of the gown of gowns.
Radfum satin and soft, white, corded silk
are the materials most employed, when chif
fon chiffon cloth and lace are not selected.
The princess corselet Is stunning model
for one of these silk gowns. made with
lace bolero meeting the top of the high belt,
tucked chiffon forming the upper part of
the bodice. The skirt is absolutely devoid
of trimming.
Another smart wedding frock is of lace,
with satin court train to lend dignity ana
grace.
A simple little froek recently made for an
extremely youthful bride Is of chiffon cloth.
The skirt is laid In six deep tucks that
widen out on the long train. The jupe is
finished about the waist with three rows of
shirrings. The lower part of the bodice is
draped closely about the figure, and around
the vertically tucked deep yoke is a double
fall of Brussels lace. Flounces of this make
the short sleeves A chain of orange flow
ers IS hung about the shoulders and over
the bertha.
Every other woman one sees nowadays is
wearing a boa of some kind of feathers,
generally ostrich or marabou. These boas
are fascinating adjuncts to the toilet when
worn as only Frenchwoman wears them.
The chic Parisenne affects a gray feather
boa and relies upon her makeup to insure
becomingness. Indeed, this past mistress of
the artless arts would soon forget. her
makeup as her coiffure, which. is a marvel
Gus affair that never seems to become dis
heveled, no matter how the wind may blow.
Even we'll bred women here at the gay capt.
tai aid nature and they do 1t SO artisticaly
that one soon becomes accustomed to it.

I wonder whether you have seen any OF
the new collars of high white linen. They
are the stunningest things imaginable, and
the height of chic with the tight little knot
ing.
A novelty which is dainty in the extreme
is a pompadour silk skirt worn with a
short jacket of velvet. The combination
does suggest the bargain counter or a
patched out costume, but fashion is such
an Irresistible force that one would follow
her to the banks Of the Styx. The only
thing to do Is to bow to her dictates and
IL we don't care to be conspicuously ar
rayed in pompadour skirt with a velvet

be equally smart.
The new short coats deserve a word of
explanation. They are draped over a fitted,
boned lining and fastened securely over
the bust to within few inches of the neck.
Some of them end at the waist, while
others have little basques-in fact, many
dressmakers call them basqued coats All
of the models have three-inch belts of suede
or of some fancy design in silk braid,
fastened with a large buckle.
There is, too, an economical quality In
these coats, for when warm top wrap is
added they do duty instead Of a blouse. In
