Awhile ago a pal ot mine the dear est creature in the world wrote me from Paris, where she Fpenda tbebeat part ot her time. Buying : " It ia dread fully triate over here this year. I am going home to bo cheered up a bit. I shall be sailing soon, so it you want me to bring you anything, cable at once." I promptly cabled, "Fetch me the newest, smartest ball gown in Paris." ThiB was a piece of reckless extrava gance, of course, and I knew that it would mean one more impoverished JJodisb.but I simply couldn't resist such a good chance to know what is the really truly latest thing. My pal knows ber Paris as well as the most knowing of us know our New York ; and she is not to be led astray by the wiliest ot couturieres. The best things, and only the best things, are what appeal to her, and she knows them what is more when she sees them better than most. The other day she and my frock ar rived. If it were not that she is the very dearest creature on earth I should eay, "'My frock and she arrived." The frock is such a dream it would certainly take precedence over any or dinary mortal! It is white, white liberty satin and chiffon, and lavishly embroidered in diamonds dressmaker's diamonds, of course, but of so much brilliancy and eo well set that they might easily pass as anybody's precious stones. It is cut en princesse ; with a straight front, however, and not curved in at the waist like some of the horrors one sees. There is, ot couree.no fullnete over the hips and only one wide box plait down the back, l'he skirt fits snugly to the knees and is very long, but not too long for grace in moving, and it falls in ample folds aboutthe feet. From the kcee or a little above to six inches above the waist line it is of the liberty satin. The rest ot it is the chif fon used in a most original manner. The skirt has big medallions about the bottom, ot chiffon embroidered in the brilliants; these medallions are framed in a network of pearls and dia monds. This network broadens at the top of each medallion and runs upon the satin. The satin in studded with single stones all over at dose intervals. Above the waist these, stones are sown so closely together that they give the effect ot a ceinture. The top ot the bodice is formed of the chiffon, jeweled like that on the skirt, and there are straps of diamonds over the shoulders. The newest thing about this adorable gown is the way it is built built being in this instance a singularly descriptive word, for the gown is literally built upon a corset or brassiere, to give it its Paris ienoe name. And you put on your gown and your corset brassiere at the same moment. The slixne68 of one's figure in thiB arrangement if slimnesa is among its possibilities surpasses one's fondest hopes. Thus sre bodices without sleeves or shoulder straps, if one pleases, made possible and practical and rendered much less alarming than they look. Princesse gowns built on brassieres are really cut in two pieces the bodice and the skirt are fitted separately and finally seamed invisibly together just below the waist line. The front ot the bodice and skirt are often cut in one piece, as it is the surest method of obtaining the perfectly straight lines from the bust down that are now the aim and ambition ot that much-discussed creature, tho "well dressed woman." I have been told that all the ball gowns that Countess Castellane brought out were built on these brassieres, but I never believe what I don't see, so I have not been able so far to believe this. This is the moment in tho season, any way, when one suffers from over-familiarity with one own gowns as well as tho gowns ot all the women one knows. So it is oo wonder that an thing in the way of a novelty is welcomed with enthusi asm. There was an occasional new frock or so worn at Mrs. Astors dance, but for the most part they wero the same old story. Mrs. Astor wore black velvet or was it dark blue? and her famous collec tion of sapphires and diamonds. Mrs. Henry Clews was one of tho best gowned women there. She wore pink satin brocade, charm ingly trimmed with finest point. Mrs. Clews wore some splendid dia monds in her hair. A band of diamonds was worn across the front of her hair, and a bugo ccmb of them sparkled in the back. Around her neck Mrs. Clewb wore ropes of mag nificent pearls, and huge pearl earrings. After all, it is the jewels that score in evening gowns. If you have gorgeous jewels you need not bother very much about the rost. Mrs. Whitney Warren wore a good gown of Chantilly lace with splashed or flowered panne velvet appliqued upon it. Mrs. George de Forest looked stunning, as she always does, in white brocade sewn with silver paillettes. Mrs. Starr Miller wore another black velvet that is, I euppore it was "another." Mrs. Starr Miller seems to wear nothing else but then black velvet is a splendid background for diamond and pearls, and Mrs. Starr Miller never moves ot even ings, it seems, without her collection of these precious gems. Mrs. Frederick Eddy wore a very pretty frock of silvur gray gauze embroidered in silver and dashes of black. The corsage was outlined in huge transparent silver leaves that were strik ingly smart and unusual. Miss Sands wore a girlish frock of pale blue with blue flowers in her hair and corsage. Really all the women seemed to have made the effort to look their be6t, and many of them succeeded. Lady Modish in Town Topics.
