of Diana and Venus in the statues be-
longing to the era of Grecian suprem-
acy. We must consider that perchance
the clinging gown is spending its last
days with US, and we must become rec
fond we are of the 1.-THE lines of that
style. The gown of the future will be
far more fluffy and may render the
small waist a necessity
With the entree of this gown will
come the new style of lingerie which
will be of the same color as the gown.
At least so say the creators of fash
ion at this moment.
AS a general rule the sleeves of the
newest gowns are three quarter length
and, indeed, these will be the feature
of the future fashion, for it will be
necessary to have shorter sleeves when
the fichu and the Vatican pleat are in
evidence.
1t may be, after the rage of the ex-
tremely artistic, you may not be called
upon to wear any fashion that is in
trinsically ugly. The creation of gowns
/
lightly looked upon, and those who
wish to provide dress that woman
! kind will love can in no wise be lack
ing in the sense of the artistic and the
beautiful
There is reaction in fashion as in
other things. After we have been
wearing conspicuous hatpins for a
length of time we wear inconspicuous
ones. The seasons change of style.
which seems to have affected every
thing, has also touched upon the pins
in ones hat. These are no longer made
of gold and silver nor are they the
enormous affairs sticking out from the
side of the hat. On the contrary. they
are very reasonable in size, and are
shaped in almost any way the taste
dictates.
1t has grown to be the custom to
have ones hatpin match ones hat.
with bit of trimming 1t is. there
| fore, well in such a case to cover a
button or some such thing with bit
of lace to match the hat and then use
this button as the head of hatpin.
But there is no reason why this cover
ing should not be placed on the head
of any hatpin, and. if it is not quite
large enough, it may be padded out
with cotton, so that the same effect
may be produced.
/ Black beaded hatpins have had their
day and will not be so popular again,
but the fancy hatpin for the summer
must be lost among the folds of the
trimming.
The all black hat with its long ostrich
feathers is no more the Partisan favor
lite, and the large, white hat, too, will
give way before the softer silk and
satin straws in pastel colors. Plumes
to match will be worn on these large
! yet delicate creations intended for aft
color, apricot, zenith blue and iris.
! A wired plume does not sound in the
/ least appropriate. One thinks of the
long ostrich feather always as the most
perfect expression of grace in hat gar
niture 1t is, however, only the rib or
/ backbone of the feather that is wired to
! give added height to some of the new
turban and bowler shapes. The plume
/ is stiffened to an almost unbelievable
height and then doubled, so that it re-
mains quite tall enough for all practical
purposes; but this panache is still a
swaying plume.
! Miss Elsie Sinclair of Berkeley enter
tanned at a hat trimming party given
/ last week at her home in College, ave-
nue., and the hat that caused the merri-
ment of the occasion is worthy of de-
scription. II was called a belated Paris
hat and was skillfully fashioned from a
waste basket with one straight bow
across the back in the style of the day,
and the black rosettes on the front of
the basket gave the hat quite an exag-
gerated French aspect. The aggressive
coque feathers were the only note of
discerd in the clever creation, and the
hat is to be exhibited at an Informal
party in town this week. The hats this
season have contributed to the gayety
of the social season and have brought
about an unprecedented situation at
| least
/ A letter from Del Monte has the fol-
| lowing gossip of the week:

Pacific Grove hotel made elaborate
