I arrived rather early. as I did nor
wish to miss one sensation of This
great night. But, to my surprise. al
1nougn the great singers Of the day
we're scheduled TO appear. il seemed
not for them or their artistic merit
that the audience was assembled hut
suspected, for the enjoyment of the
social assemblage and the dIsnlav of
fashions in gowns and head-dress
The curtain arose to almost emntv
boxes. II was only after the first
act that society began to arrive. We
walked out to the foyer and watched
the entrance of the Wonderfully
cloaked women and their escorts
The brilliant colors of the tropics
seemed to have invaded the entrance
Bright yellows, orange, old rose. and
brilliant Futurist designs were seen
among the wonderful velvet and
plush opera cloaks. These briph,
colors were toned and improved by
the stsid black evening dress of the
gentlemen. Here and there an all-fur
cloak was visible, but not often. al
though fur was used elaboratelv for
trimming both cloaks and gowns. One
particularly striking opera cloak was
of brilliant red brocaded velvet with
large collar and deep cuffs of white
fox. Emerald green and red were the
predominating colors. while brocaded
effects were conspicuous among the
materials used.
Down in the auditorium people bustled
and rustled into their seats, and pointed
out this celebrity or that extraordinar.
lily new feature in gown or coiffure
There was a striking tendency toward
strong contrasts in material and colors
The waists were of the filmiest of ma
terials-chiffon, net and shadow lace
while skirts were of heavier fabrics. like
satin and velvet.
! The Minaret influence was seen in
varied guise. from the simple tunic 10
the wired frill that stood well out from
the hips. Another feature to correspond
were wired frills at the wrist that re-
minded one of candle e-shades. skirts
were draped at the back and at the
sides, but preferably in the front. Otter

The slashed skirts, which have been

EARLY CHRISTMAS
TREAT AT GRACE

That Il is more blessed TO give
than to receive was attested to at
the Christmas-giving entertainment
in Grace NJ. e. Church last evening
under the auspices OF the Sunday
school.
The members of the various depart
ments brought generous offerings Of
groceries of all kinds in large guam
titles. fruit, candy and other things.
and these, including iifty or more
well-filled stockings the gift of one
OF the departments, we're brought to
the platform and grouped upon Il at
the close of the musical and literary
program. When the offerings had
all been brought in the platform re-
fsembled a well-stocked store. and
the good things will bring cheer into
many a home on Christmas morn
ing.
Members Of a committee appointed
to distribute the gifts to various
charitable organizations, which will,
in turn. distribute them to needy
families. included Mrs. Melville
Gambrill and Mrs. Washington o,
Hastings.
The literary and musical program
which was a pleasing feature OF the
evening. included plano solos BY
Miss Edna Carpenter. a cornet sole
by Mrs. Burnham, vocal selections By
Mr.. Harris, the popular tenor OF the
I church choir. and an abridged read
ing of Dickens Christmas Carol.

NEW YORK. Dec. 19.-The event OF

of opera. has come and gone, with
its exposition OF handsome gowns.
Society women have kept their dress

traordinary gowns for this evening .
for no one, either in the midst of the
chosen set OF lowering upon its out
skirts. looking eagerly for a chance
to squeeze into its precincts, missed
the great affair.
Paris was ransacked, and exclusive
gowns from the famous French de-
signers we're imported for the occa-
sion. And those patronizing

especially designed to impress upon
their unpatriotic kinswomen that

over a vest OF gathered net. The skirt
was OF plain charmeuse. with a tunIc
of the brocade, having wide rufIle
of hand-wrought lace around the bot
tom. A difficult characteristic Of this
skirt is the panel, which disposes OF
the fulness at the waist. The stitched
folds Of the panel covered the edges
of the tunic. which seemed tucked
under its outer edges. The broad
girdle OF deep peach was drawn
Through a golden buckle. and one end
was lifted upward from the line Of the
waist.
All this ] had to observe quickly
between the first and second acts, for
lol society doesn't deign TO sit through
the last act of the opera, but arises
after the preceding act. dons it's wraps
and proceeds TO its waiting automo-
biles to be drives to some brilliant
supper party or other function. Such
is the custom and neither Caruso's
extraordinary tenor nor the singing
of Destinn and Matzenauer could
change Il one whit.

weaTers minced along almost like Jap
anese women, their silken hose and gilt
slippers showing at every step. Slippers
were often of the same material as the
gown, but more often of a gold and sill
Yer tissue with a long vamp and more
practical French heel. Others were the
so-called Tango slippers, that are held
upon the feet by ribbons that cross and
recross we'll up above the ankle.
The hustle was in evidence more in
the drapcd effect at the back than in the
actual old-fashioned horsehair article
which our mothers wore in the seventies.
Wide sashes encircled the waist and
ended in enormous bows at the back.
