THE COURIEK II I 1 A i; rl -( K r Fashions of the Day. MSbb Fair's engagement to littlo Wil lie Vundorbilt haB proved quite a god Bond to tuo waning season. So many dinnerB, dancob and ono thing and another havo been given to celebrate the happy event that I am quito worn out. And thon it is the end of the month, too, and somohow I al ways leavo tho visits I have to mako on "days at homo" until tho vory last day, and that moans I havo to work like a beaver to get through with them all. But, thank heaven! they nro nearly nil taken caro of; only a fow February days now, and then I shall bo f reo from such drudgery for another year! To return to Mies Fair, she is wearing her honors very modostly. I like the independence Bho shows in going about in tho most democratic way with her fiance, and she seems to make a point, since her engagement haB boon announced, of dressing in the simplest and most unpretentious manner. Tho othor night, at tho dance that her future father-in-law gave in her honor, Bho woro a vory smart but simple gown of blue Bpangled not over blue silk, and no jewels at all with tho oxception of a diamond comb in her hair. Thin was in oxcollont taBto, and much to bo admired. It is in decidedly sharp contrast to tho conduct of tho avcrngo girl about to marry much money. I thiuk the most extraordinary gown that I havo Been this BoaBon, or any other Boason, is being worn by Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish. It is a mass of red-pink spangles just the color of tho scales of a goldfish. It is made very plainly, and tho spangles "do the rest" so admirably that Mrs. Fish cannot appear in her shining frock without being the cynosure of every eye. It haB gained for hor, naturally enough, the soubriquet of "the fish that glit, glit, glittered." It seems a season of clothes freakB at the moment. At the "Strollers," the othor day, Adele Fitzgerald woro a coat even more extraordinary than Mrs. Fish's gown, and not nearly so pleasing to the eye, becauBO, after all, there is always a certain fascination about goldfish. This "original" garment and heaven preserve us from such originality! was an Eton jacket of black kid, with the collar and revere of broadtail. Any thing more unbecoming or in worse taste I have not seen for many a day. No one is a stronger advocate of orig inality than I, but the chasm between successful origiuality and mistaken orig inality is a wide and deep one. You can only cross it with your eyes wide open, so, when you see a fellow-creature stum bling blindfold and helpless over the precipice of mistaken originality, it is only right to give her a hint of hor perilous position. It waB very amusing at tho "Strollers" tho othor clay to watch the women of the Btago and tho women in society in spect ono another. So far as dressing and good looks wore concorned things wero about equally divided, because if there wero some bad ly dreBBod actroBBt'B there certainly wero an equnl numbor of badly dressed social lights, and with Mary Mannering, Max ino Elliott, and a dozon other excep tionally pretty womon present from staceland. we of our world needed always delighted at any ovidenco that tho provincialism of thiB town is becom ing effaced. It delights me to boo my sot looking nt life from othor people's points of viow bb well as their own. Big strides havo boon takon in that direction of lato years, and, thank good ness, wo are still "moving on!" I do not think anything givoB mo more plonsuro than to go to tho play and to seo an actress who is depicting a well-droEBod woman look tho part. This is a ploasuro that is, unluckily, a raro ono in this country; but tho othor night I oxporionced it. My complimonts to you, Miss Nothor solo, upon tho frocks you havo put upon "Tho Second Mrs. Tanquoray." They are all good bettor than good. I particularly liked the black net gown embroidered in gold spanglos or was it silver spangloB? Stage lights are so deceiving. LaBt week I complained about tho lack of patience tho uvorago woman dis plays when it comes to a question of do tail in hor dress that dotail which is bo abpolutoly necessary in making u wom an's enBomblo successful. Ono bocb at u glanco that "Tho Socond Mrs. Tanquoray" undorBtands in tho fullest degroo that importance of tho art of dotail. From tho top of ,her perfectly dressed head, which is a joy to behold, to the hem of hor trailing skirt, tho cachot that the thorough knowlndgo of well understood dotail alono can givo is stamped upon everything she wears. A good many womon that I know indeed, connections of tho Modish family themselves might profitably take "Tho Second Mrs. Tanquoray" bb an object lesson in the important study of how to be a well-dressed woman. Apropos of detail, too fow women ap preciate the veil. I do not mean that they do not ap preciate ft for its services in enhancing the beauty of tho complexion; that every woman understands. But I do mean that they do not ap preciate how absolutely imperative it is that a good, fresh, crisp veil Bhould bo the crowning touch on one's toilette if one would huvo that toilette perfect. It seems to me too many women yield to the temptation of wearing a voil once too often through mistaken economy or the equally mistaken idea that nobody will notice it. It is beyond dispute that one can see every day, if one is observant, the whole effect of many an expensive gown de stroyed by a dejected, bedraggled veil that has seen hard service and shows in every line of its limpness that it knows and fully appreciates this discouraging fact. The influence of mind over natter ten astonishes us, tho thirty-cent veil over the 9300 gown iB quite as potent and as littlo undor First publication, Feb. .11 In tho District Court of Lancaster County, Nebraska.
