New York. Nov. 16.-Now the wo-
man has upon her hands the question
of making ends meets, as a perpetual
problem, ought to be thankful for the
modes that be. OF course If she lacks
imagination in the matter of decora-
ton schemes and color combinations
that is most lamentable. but with
these talents-they are nothing less
when to dress we'll is an exhibition
of genius-it ought TO be easy sailing.
Luxury is the keynote of fashion, but
it must be expressed in the simplest
manner employing every means pos
sible to include gold in the garnish-
ment of their winter productions. A
little sprinkled here and there is very
beautiful, but even a little too much
produces a lovely effect. The blouse
touched with a little gold and silver
are the most attractive things that
Paris has sen us for ages. These
meals are even worked into the en-
brodieries and braid stitchngs plac-
ed upon fabrics supposed to betub-
bable. There is something so refn-
ing about both, especially if only a
suggestion is employed.
Justice impels the admission that
there is more novelty about the trim
ming and arrangement of the new
blouses than there is to be found in
their cut, but certain refinement al
most splendid. characterizes all. A
charming design is in gold and sill
yer lace over a foundation of creme
d'Alencon. The gold lace is very
heavy of workmanship, yet there is
not too much gilt used in the manu-
facture The yoke and high collar
are Of gold. the former rather square
in cut. Below this in applications on
the d'Alencon lace are delicate flow
ers in silver lace. One might go on
indefinitely describing the newest
things sent from Paris. which are
capable always Of reproduction in less
expensive materials. For instance, a
blouse OF navy blue is in the province
of the woman with only a moderate
amount to spend upon one very dressy
waist for the season. In order to
bring about the necessary dark tone
and lose none Of that softness, two
layers Of mousseline are employed.
Over the blouse are sprinkled grapes
embroidered in the same tone Of the
mousseline, and the centers Of the
grapes only dotted with gold. tiny
kinds being employed The gold and
silver braids are the salvation Of the
woman who has but little money to
spend and who also is handicapped
by lack Of knowledge Of needlework
for they are not expensive and one
can string them on any stamped pat
tern with much effect, without know
ing anything about the more intricate
details OF art embroidery. The
sleeves are treated likewise and the
blouse is n delicious affair distin-
guished and fit not only to wear with
a serge tailor made. but quite appro.
