SOCIETY IN SILHOUETTE.
Prevalence of Gold and Silver Gowns

A week whose program has offered
two or three dances every night pre-
coded by numerous dinner parties has
called into requisition many smart
evening gowns from many smart ward
robes. Beginning with the Christmas
night ball in aid Of the Children's
Country Home which was generously
patronized by society, the record OF at
tendance at the various functions
throughout the week was not only nota-
BILE in numbers. but in the distinction
Of its personnel. The prevalence, or
rather the predominance, OF the gold
AT d silver gowns for evening wear has
been established beyond all question.
There are few which il not made or
one of the other are not combined with
them or adorned with either gold or
silver lace. gold or silver tissue or
gauze or some filmy afiliation of one
or both. The exceptions to this pre-
vailing fashion have an individuality
which holds the eye Notwithstanding
the surrounding brilliance. Mrs. Fred
eric Huidekoper at the Christmas night
ball wore one of these exceptional
gowns. 1t was of black panne velvet
made on severely simple lines. The
bodice was tight fitting with a square
decollete outlined with white tulle The
skirt, while short. had a small pointed
train. The buckles of brilliants on the
black satin slippers were the only
points of scintillation in this elegant
costume, which its graceful young
wearer. a bride of the early autumn.
wore with charming distinction.
