The appearance en- grande tenue. which
but few other'pccn sfons' OF our" social life
ofrer, is really seen at It's climax and
Tapotheosis at the opera.
Whether In Abe stalls or bores, the ex-
IRENE of evening dress is Imperative and
the choicest of ones possessions Of ward
robe and Jewel casket are brought forth
FOR tho occasion . .-.
The very elaborate toiIettes that Euro
Spean opera houses display are scarcely
ever seen or-noted on this side of the At
lantic. For one thing, we have no royal
tiles here with their attendant train of
1nurtiers to net the pace in dress. Jewels
and decoratt1ns- Hut few even of our
foremost families, possess the rare laces,
the exquisite sabfes, the countless Jewels
that are we'll nigh - priceless. and which

and parcel of the opera toilette in the
upera houses of the. older civilization.
But none the less. the American woman
does not by any means neglect the oppor-
tunity SO afforded her for the display OF
her choicest possessions In the jewelry
and sartortal line.
The extreme Of decolletage which is
necessary for formal appearance abroad
IS not followed here to any great extent.
Indeed, the elderly section of society,
realizing that neck and shoulders VIII no
longer successfully encounter the glare of
thousands of electric lights and the pitt

OF time and age.
Since simpifcity-and an extreme Of sim
plfcfty at that's insisted upon for the
younger section, and especially for the
debutante. Jewels are altogether taboo,
with, perhaps. the single exception of a
string Of pearls around the throat. While
1t must be single and simple string.
there Is no limit .wha tsoever put on the

There seems to be almost duel be-
tween the modes of the First Empire and
those of princesse persuasion where the
opera toilet Is concerned. None the less,
there Is no waning whatsoever OF the
vogue OF the gown fashioned in two sep
arate pieces. corsage and skirt, with a
smart ceinture to mark the point of sepa-
ration between the two. 1t Is altogether.
