over the front of the bodice - one
rope of pearls indeed, falling in a
loop almost to the hips. This year
the pearls will appear against a
gown of flesh tinted velvet, draped
over the waistline at back and front
upon a bodice of flesh tinted tulle
veiled with Mechlin lace. The short
est rope Of pearls has been attached
for this occasion to a jeweled bar
rette which will be worn in the hair,
the pearls encircling the neck and
rising at the back to meet the bar

wearing pearl string is extremely

Many Women Wear Black and White.
In reading over list of costumes
worn at the opera, one is always inn
pressed with the number of black and
white. or gray and black creations
which the .dressmakers have turned
out for the occasion. This choice of
sombre tones is often inspired by CO.
quetry, for in a brilliant assemblage
of colored gowns, the black or white
costumes are always notable. Many
women, also, are in half mourning,
not too heavy for an appearance at
the opera, but still pronounced
enough to bar color. A Premet gown
of silver gray velvet, included among
,the illustrations, is expressive of this
favor for colorless costumes. This
gown shows rather striking new

ton of expense never hampers incli-
nation or taste, trinkets for my la
dy's personal adornment and use are
apt to run into fabulous prices.
The lorgnette opera glass is the type
now most popular. The glasses are
mounted on a lorgnette handle which
folds back against the glasses so that
the whole affair may be slipped into
reticule. Some women use at the
opera an ordinary gold lorgnette
mounted with very powerful lenses.
The smart woman, If one will notice,
never holds either lorgnette or opera
glass before her eyes very long. Her
interest in either stage or house never
seems absorbed enough to warrant
prolonged inspection. The glass is
held up for an instant and then drop
ped languidly-for your fashionable
dame never stares-even through an
opera glass-or at the stage.
One illustration shows a fan of
eagle feathers, and two handsome
opera bags in beaded design; and a
comparison of the bags-ordinary in
size-with the fan will give an idea
of the mammoth size of the latter.
These huge eagle feather fans are ex-
ceedingly fashionable this season,
! much more so than fans of ostrich
plumage, and it will be noted that
one side of the fan shoots out in ex-
ira length. When the fan is held
in the right hand these long feathers
sweep out toward the right across the
right arm and shoulder, and the
smaller, inner edge of the fan does
not hide the frock or the jewels worn
on neck and corsage. The eagle
feather fan pictured is mounted on
sticks OF pearl and tortoise shell.
One of the opera bags, in square
shape, is embroidered in a Persian
design with c5iored beads on back
ground of shaGed blues also done
with beads The fringe is of blue
and gold beads and the frame of the
bag is set with small brilliants. The
pouch-shaped bag shows a conven-
| tional beaded pattern done with Jet
and rhinestones. The fringe is made
Of tiny jet beads and the frame is
of gunmetal with black cord handles
This bag is intended for a dowager's
use, and in fact will be carried at the
opera this winter by very handsome
woman in her sixties whose costumes
in black, white and gray tones al
ways bear the stamp of Paris.
More co0uettish for a young
woman's use is an opera bag of
striped blue silk mounted with a
gold frame set with real sapphires.
This bag has a handle made of blue
grosgrain ribbon on which are sew
eral slides of gold, also set with tiny
sapphires. Another dainty opera bag
Of Roman striped silk in pastel tones

cealed spring the button flies upward,

vanity box, a mirror forming the in

French Soap Lends Charm
To the Guest Room

A NE pays bit more for soap from
HH Paris, but its presence in the
W guest room adds an extra grace
and distinction that makes up for the
slightly higher price. Somehow, these
Partisan soaps, like real French per-
fumes, have more delicate color and
more elusive yet lasting fragrance
than the cheaper home products. For
the green and white room there is
lettuce soap that is particularly dainty
in color and particularly pleasing in
odor. Verveine is another pale green
soap that is delightful, and q pure
white soap called cyclamen is attract

obtain, also, rose and violet tinted
soaps for rooms in these colorlngs.

alone are retained in restaurant or
opera house, the coat being left in a
dressing-room.
In striking contrast to this arrange
ment of costume, is the magnificent
ermine wrap which could only journey
to the opera in limousine or
brougham. This sumptuous wrap, of
tailless ermine has an odd collar of
mink, suggesting an animal skin
thrown carelessly across the shoul-
ders. The ermihe wrap accompanies
a gown of petunia velvet brocade. AT
the front the skirt Is lifted to reveal
black satin buttoned strap slippers
worn with petunia silk hose.
When a hat is worn with an opera
costume, even if 1t is removed dur
ing the performances invariably 1t
will be new - it must be unmistaka-
bly, an evening hat and not suggest
practical everyday usage. A charm
ing evening hat is pictured with
little frock of black and white tulle
over pale blue liberty. The hat in
picturesque Coolie shape, is of
American Beauty silk. the cleverly
massed ostrich plumes showing
shaded rose tones, from palest mar
mot to rich American Beauty.

ldTer must make QetOuf among
flying limousines and carriages at the
risk OF a broken limb, or cross the
street to the safer side. And from
every limousine and brougham pour
superbly wrapped women whose
frocks and jewels will presently form
part of the brilliance of the world
famed "horse-shoe."
Linger in the Foyer to Observe Wraps.
Unless one can afford a ten-dollar
seat in the orchestra, or has a pow
erful opera glass, very little of the
horseshoe can be viewed in detail
within the opera house. Ones posi-
ton is too far away, and after a lit
tie the atmosphere of the super
heated interior becomes hazy and
distances are not sharp and clear, for
all the brilliant lighting. But the
canny soul, determined to see what
is to be seen, finds a way to linger
in the boX-foyer after the perform
ance and here. while the fashionable
folk wait for their CARRIAGES to be call
ed, chatting together informa,-y dur
ing the interim. thousands and tens of
thousands of dollars worth of gowns,
wraps and jewels may be observed.
OF course ones own attire must have
bit of evening dress formality, for
dark and simple street costume
would be too conspicuous in this bril-
liant throng to remain long unno-
ticed or to let ones business here go
unquestioned, and there are energetic
men-dressmakers for the most
part-4WhO station themselves outside
the carriage foyer along with wait
ingf1adies maids and footmen to have
a glimpse of the well-dressed folk
as they step into their limousines.
After all. wraps are the most i'm
pressive things about opera costumes.
In the foyer, of course. every woman
wears her wrap, but the wrape is
usually thrown open, revealing the
frock beneath and the jewels worn on
throat and corsage. And where the
gown costs perhaps three hundred
dollars, often less, the accompanying
wrap may well be worth three thou
sand. Such wraps are never left in
a cloakroom unless "a maid or foot
man remains there to keep watch,
and very seldom is a costly wrap
left in a public cloaSroom if its pos

the dressmakers of the elite realize
this. Every gown worn in the boxes
on premiere opera night therefore has
been designed to achieve a triumph,
and if all gowns cannot be supreme
in triumph, each separate creation
represents the very best that its
maker and its wearer could compass.
Opera and Ball Gowns Essentially
Different.
Though everything ends up with a
dance now-even the supper after an
opera performance-the opera gown
has much more of dignity and state
liness than Is possessed by the regula-
ton dancing gown. The latter is
usually clinging, diaphanous affair,
short enough to reveal a buttoned
dancing slipper or boot, while the OPP
era costume is of sweeping velvet or
silk, with impressive lines we'll calcu-
lated to set off the beauty of jewels.
One woman, high in New York social
circles, has a hundred thousand dol
lars worth of pearls, in wonderful
ropes of varying length, and these
pearls always come out of their nest
in the safe deposit vault for the ini-
tial opera performance. And always,
the gown which forms a background
for these superb pearls, is a simple
affair, with unbroken lines and no
elaboration of trimming to distract
the eye from the magnificent orna-
ments worn around the throat and

the skirt is very full at the hips, while
tapering at the ankle. The bodice is

rhinestones and amethysts, and pale
pink rose is set at the corsage.
Chiffon Sleeves With Wintry Furs.
There is a fancy just now for gauzy
sleeves which leave the arm all but
bare, combined with furry trimming
on the rest of the costume. The frock
which depicts this style is suitable for
opera wear in the dress circle or bal
cony, and for restaurant wear after
ward. The airy bodice of flame red
chiffon Is decollete at front and back,
with floating wing sleeves which
are semi-transparent. This gay bod
ice, made gayer by bands of gold
lace trimming, is attached to a black
skirt of draped lansdowne and with
its dark skirt, the frock may be worn
even on a suburban train, in COM

and gorgeous wraps, some of them
worth small fortunes in themselves.
But could the handsome raiment worn
on such occasions be heaped in one
scale and the ornaments and trinkets
of the women who wear the raiment

clothes, alone, form a very small per-
centage of the splendor of opera
night. The woman who wears a
