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
