point lace and wore a diamond parure and
her single string of pearls
Mrs Hermann LIE Roy Emmet, the guest
of the George Henry Warrens. was In white
satin brocaded with huge pink flowers some
distance apart. The gown had quaint puffed
sleeves and wide bands of blue velvet
crossed the top of the corsage and formed
the wide gil'dle of the same blue. An odd
coronet of diamonds was also worn.
Lady Susan Townley, a guest of August
Belmont was in heliotrope-colored velvet,
with a bertha of point lace some eight
inches wide, outlinig a square neck and
having a fold OF the velvet just below the
upper edge of the lace. She also wore a
low. narrow diamond tiara, from which,
suspended by fine gold chain large
single diamond formed a pendant that
dropped over the edge of her forehead.
Mrs John r. DreXel. also a guest of Mr..
Belmouts, was in white satin, silver span
gled, and wore a high diamond crown tipped
with hugh pearls. a row of pearl pendants
was arranged across the front of her bodice.

In the same box was Mrs Orme Wilson

The effect of this decoration was of some

From the New York Press.
The modern shoelace is an abomination:
yet we have to put up with it. 1t is either
a foot too long. or six inches too short. 1t
is made fat, as rule, but soon becomes
twisted and kinky. One end is eternally
getting longer than the other. The tips
come off. In the old days we made strings
of calfskin. Every farmer was an expert.
We would cut a disc of leather three or
four inches in diameter, stick the point of
sharp knife blade In board. place the
thumb nall the thickness of a match from
1T, and quickly draw the string through the
opening, the perimeter being reduced the
thickness of a match at every measure of
the circumference. Pretty work! Then the
square string was rolled between the sole
of the shoe and the floor till perfectly
round. after which 1t was creased with tai
low. Such a lace would last for months.
Round laces are now made Of fiber. but
their shine sq3h wears off, giving them q

The bridesmaids. the Misses Laura Ander

The most famous milliner of Paris. who
creates chapeaux for number of royalties,
is fashioning the daintiest little evening
hats of guipure lace and fur. The entire
crowns and brims are of guipure, trimmed
with gold embroidery and banded with the
sable Toward the back of the shape and
dropping over the sides are white plumes.
A pretty lace tricorne hat with a mink
crown makes very effective model. Last
week I saw delightful hat finished one
side with a jeweled buckle and large
osprey which conveyed all the chic of the
season.
Continuing the inspection, l noticed that
narrow bands of zibeline fur served as
becoming decoration for the brims of hats
entirely made of guipure. Full crowned
berets shapes are shown as effective models
for the chapeaux de soiree, and they are
very suited to the style of toilet in vogue
for evening wear.

1t is not so much the pattern one thinks
about as the color. For instance, this color
craze goes so far that it is smart idea
to have ones gloves and furs match. With
chinchilla gray suede gloves to the elbow
are the correct thing, and with Russian
sable gloves of a dark shade of beaver are
appropriate. Persian lamb requires giants
of black suede or long white kid affairs
to go with the lace frills that appear on
most OF the dark fur coates.
There is no longer doubt that directoire
coats are to be worn this season. We may,
however, doubt the success of the directoire
gowns that one or two celebrated couturf-
eres are launching. The loosely made dress
will not be everybody's fancy. And most
assuredly the best dressed women are or

dominating feature of fashion. Even the
fur neck scarfs are simply soft lengths

it is another proof of how this softness
dominates the mode that the empire frocks
which originally were of heavy, handsome
satins are now made up in the fimsiest ma

1t is a comfort to realize when
we hear people talking about
''the good old times that used to
be-" that in some respects. at
least, we show more common
sense to-day. One instance is in
our attitude toward women.
There was time when a woman
was expected to shrek and faint
in almost any emergency. 1t
was even considered an attractive
exhibition of dependence. To-
day we parden lack Of nerve anl
self-possession in a woman al
most as little as in a man. Tic
girl who rides and shoots has
taken the place of the girl who
used TO shrek and faint. No
mall factor in bringing this
welcome change about has been
