FA8HI0N LETTER.
With the New Year cotre the be9t
fashions.
It is from now on to the end of our
brief winter season that the really
smart things will be seen.
This may seem a moat-amazing state
ment to the uninitiated who. last Sep
tember, hurriedly stocked their ward
robe for the winter and flattered them
selves that no further effort would be
required of them until spring.
They have yet to learn tbat it is only
when the Mutable Many stop buying
that the Modish Few becin to make
their purchases, thug avoiding, through
the object-lessons offered by the Mut
able Many, the mistake of copying too
popular model?, and frequently seizing
the opportunity of developing some
originality in dress.
That this is true is provod by the
change tbat has taken place in Modish
affairs, both socially and sartorial ly.
It is only a few years ago that every
body tbat was anybody hurried back
from the country in the very early Au
tumn in order to haunt the abode of the
dressmaker with a zeal that never flag
ged until she had acquired what she
considered the necessary amount of
"things" to wear on the "dress parade"
of the Horse Show. She really seemed
to think this was an obligation tr.at
was owed the public at large and that
it could not be shirked, no matter what
it involved.
Thank goodness! we Modishes are
getting more sense. We are learning to
take ourselves less seriously and life
more rationally.
Hustling baa been our trouble in
deed, it is ths National failing, I should
say.
Vere de Vere repose of manner is the
latest requirement with a Modish.
We absolutely frown upou the Na
tional weakness, and "to hustle" is a
verb that is no longer conjugated in our
set.
Take your leisure leisurely is the new
maxim coined by a Modish leader, and
it is being adopted by us all. We re
fuse to hurry to the town for the Horse
Show. We refuse to hurry for the
opera. We refuse to hurry at all.
Consequently, the Horse Show has be
come a mere incident in our Modish
lives. We leave the getting of special
cUthes for it entirely to the hoi polloi.
The opera has not the courage to tempt
a Modish Providence by an early ap
pearance, but wisely defers its open
ing by several weeks, since ne have
ceased "to hustle.'
Really, you have no idea what mis
takes in life one avoids by following the
precept of leisureliness.
In fashions alone it is invaluable.
When I look back upon the wretched
duds I have allowed to be thrust upon
me when I was a slave to 'the mistaken
habit of rushing through life, I simply
am appalled; but never again! never
again! and I am not the only Modish
who nays "Never again!" and says it
with emphasis.
It is for these reasons that the best
fashions as I was saying do not ap
pear until the season is more advanced.
The true womau of fashion now
comes to town leisurely, makes her plans
for the winter leisurely, gets her gowns
and fal-lals leisurely and is now ready
leisurely to exploit, them and herself.
This is why you often see the smart
est women the earlier part of the season
wearing last year's clothes with an air
of the utmost contentment, for they are
conscious that their new toilettes are
being constructed at the moment in
that leisurely way that is bound to
spell success. And this is why, too,
tbat the really smart woman is turned
out better each year. Each year she is
wiling to give more time to such things.
She takes her leisure leisurely and
turns it to good account.
One of the newest fashions to be
established in New York in the carrying
of dainty muffs made of chiffon, lace or
flowers to the opera or to the play.
This is a fashion that was launched
last year by Miss Millward when she
played Lady Algy, and it was much
cavilled at for awhile, and later it was
adopted by a few venturesome Modishes
with such succees that now it has ar
rived for the world of fashion at large.
It certainly is a pretty fad and a use
ful one, too, for it insures one's Angers
against the cold of the frostiest nights.
These muffs are always tiny, and
should be made in the coloting of one's
gown; they are usually deliciously
scented with one's favorite sachet.
By the way, sachet tablets are among
the novelties of the year, and tney are
ever so much more satisfactory in every
way than the old-fashioned sachet
powder that one spent one's time eter
nally having renewed.
The new ball gowns all incline to Em
pire effects.
If the craze for ehort-waisted lines
continues we may be back in draperies
flowing from the shoulders before we
know it.
Ballgowns that-are not Empire are
Princesses.
Mrs. Lee Tailer has a very smart new
ballgown. It is built, and most suc
cessfully built, on the difficult Prin
cesses lines.
It is in heavy yellow lace never mind
the name over yellow chiffon. It falls
closely and clingingly about the figure
as a lover's embrace, and flares out into
anexceedingly graceful sweep about the
feet.
On the yellow lace, spangles of a pe
culiar mother-of-pearl moonlight-on-the-lake
effect are thickly sewn.
Spangles, as everyone knows by now,
must be decidedly out of the ordinary
in their coloring or they aro no" longer
tolerated.
Blue spangles have been much worn
in Paris for some time, but they have
had no vogue here.
I don't know why, for they are cer
tainly lovely.
Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs has one of
the very few blue spangled gowns that
1 have seen. Mrs W. K. Vanderbilt
had one, too, but that has gone over the
seas and far away long ago.
The rage for furs still continues.
Black fox is being made yet more
popular than it was the first part of the
season, through its being worn by Mrp.
'Fred" Neilson and other ultra-smart
women.
Russian wolf is a new fur that is hav
ing quite a success. It is exceedingly
smart but unusually reasonable in price
a combination so rare it is worthy a
note of commendation even from the
sceptical. Town Topics.

The Views of Lady Modish.
Next to Christmas presents given and
received the topic of absorbing interest
has been Airs. George Gould's Christmas
theatricals at Georgian court, or "Buy
Georgian court," as it has been nick
named by some unreverential soul. The
women who were bidden to the revels
wore their smartest gowns, but Mrs.
Gould easily outshone them all. The
women who enjoy the reputation of
furnishing the best living examples of
"the glass of fashion and the mould of
form" will have to look to their laurels
or Mrs. Gould will be removing them
gently but firmly from their fair brows.
Mrs. Gould has a great fondness for
coral.
One of her dinner gowns was Id white
elaborately embroidered in coral and
topped with a splendid diadem of coral
and diamonds.
And yet it was not so very many
