The pebutante,s Gown.

Since simplicity is the keynote OF the
seasons fashions and maid and matrcn
alike are following this latest trend Of
fashion, there is little difference in the
designs of costumes worn by these young
er members of society. Practically the
only difference in their opera toi.ettes is
the absence Of Jewelry in that Of the de-
butantes. She may wear string of
pearls, simple neck chain or a pretty
pin. but none of the brilliantly attractive
jewels with which the matron is privi-
legged by rules of fashion to adorn herself
These fashionable pailletted nets which
make such brilliant. scintillating trimming
for simple costumes, make up In a meas
ure for the absence of jewels In the de-
butanfe's toilette. This very simple cos

Dainty Conceits for the Boudoir.

Looking over the beautiful creations In
the negligees this season, one wonders at
the ingenuity Of designers in working
out SO many charming variations Of the
japanese idea. The japanese kimona,
while the national formal dress of these
little people of the Far East. is to Amer.
leans purely negligee garment SO it
is quite natural that its best adaptations
should be found in garments of this char
acter. Its success. however. is not lin.
tied to this field. for we have long since
acknowledged 1t the dominate feature of
every type Of present day costuming,
with one exception, the tailor-made.
very attractive combination of modes
is witnessed in those beautiful empire
house gowns with Japanese sleeves.
Sometimes the sleeve is full, fluffy

net or chiffon, set inside the wide man.

deep satin band, and again 1t is truly

One piece house gowns share favor
with two piece models this season. The
latter for some unaccountable reason
seem dressier than the former, suf1-

improvement on an idea which came out

A Balcony Toilette.

The evening costume Of the woman who
sits in the balcony at the opera may OF
may not be decollete. AS matter Of
fact, it is very often the latter, but in
all cases it Is dressy and worn with al
many jewels as she can afford. White
and light, delicate coiors prevail In the
toning OF such costumes. rich iaces and
exquisite hand embroideries running RIOT
over satiny surfaces Of bodice and skirt.
One material which will be seen very
much at the opera this season is pompat

Ultra-iashionnbIe Opera Attire.
Decollete costume of rich silk or satin,
brocade, chiffon or lace, faultlessly ar
ranged and ornamented couture, pro-
fusion of beautiful jewels, and we have
picture of the fashionable box patron
of grand opera. This beautiful creation
which comes from a Paris salon for one
night at grand opera is of white chiffon
with printed velvet borders in pompadour
design and colorings, medallions of lace
and pailletted net dividing the two Dor
ders of different widths The medallions
also trim the square necked bodice. A
sash Of the velvet border starts at the.
waistlne in front beneath an oval buckle
of rhinestones, is draped over the shoulder
to give added width to this part of the
figure and apparently diminish the size of
the waist. and brought down to the top
of the high white satin girdle and secured
there with another jewelled buckle This
sash is lined with chiffon and the ends
finished with medalions The sleeves are
very short and simple. The couture and
Its ornaments are fashionable and artistic.
For Opera Matinee.
Opera matinee and evening opera are
two different things, so far as the Dress
ing of society Is concerned. Neverthe-
less one sees some very stunning novel;
ties at these daytime performances which
are very much worth while from q fash
ion viewpoint For instances, the pic
tured coat and muff of lace and chinchilla,
brought over from Paris especially for the
opera season IS young society matron
whose fancy for horses and taste in
clothes is we'll known. The body Of the
coat is of white silk applique over white
satin and trimming this is pointed stole

PaiIletted Effects.
Pailletted landings and medallions are
very effective on any material. and they
are being used to great extent this sea-
son on costumes for both maids and ma
irons. One gown which will be worn by
New York debutante very popular in
the upper set for her beauty, wit, and
great fortune, has the entire front Of the
bodice. the short sleeves and the skirt
panel. Of silver sequins on a net founda-
ton. This, with a foot trimming of vel
vet appliques above n deep satin band, Is
the sole trimming of the beautiful gray
net gown with a foundation of gray satin.
No jewels other than a single strand of
pearls will be worn with this toilette, n
feature which distinguishes 1t from that
of the matron.
