THE Com I Ell
FASHION
The f.-LsliIon writers in the dally pa
pers have outdone themselves In de
KcribhiK the h'uwiiH and the jewels worn
at the opera, and in 001111116111(111; tin
the tendency to less decolletese than
heretofore.
We have had Mrs. Clarenre Mackay's
"light emerald velvet sown" pictured
for us until we are weary, and we have
read and re-read of the wonderful
hlack costumes and diamonds of Mrs.
Astor and her daughter-in-law, and
the adornment of all the rest of the
noble army of box-holders, until our
eyes swim and our brain grows dizzy.
As ji matter of fact, many of the
garments described by these writers as
"beautiful" and "stunning" were very
ugly. Heavy velvets of odd eolorings
are rarely effective, save when worn by
exceptionally handsome women. Many
gowns which were genuinely artistic,
and which appealed to those who ap
preciate sartorial good taste, have not
been mentioned.
A delicate blue chiffon with wide
serpentine insertions of finest filmy
black filet lace, made by a Paris house,
was exquisite in its lines, which were
princesse, with the lace running from
the bottom of the skirt to the under
arm. The front of the bodice opened
with a tiny fulness of the lace in which
the pattern was worked out in pale
blue silk embroidery. The neck was
low and outlined with the black lace
insertion. A light rose pink over a
slip of deeper color was another French
beauty. It was worn by a young wo
man recently returned from Europe,
who has. in my opinion, most excellent
taste in gowns. She is a blonde of Na
ture's own fashion, and the rose crea
tion magnified the charm of her deli
cate coloring.
A costume seen at supper after the
opera was of white taffeta combined
with Irish crochet. The taffeta was
laid in Inch pleats to form the bodice
and elbow sleeves, over which were
squares of the lace at regular inter
vals. The sleeves ended in a pointed
frill of the same trimming. The main
part of the skirt was entirely of Irish
crochet, with a knee flounce, wide
spreading at the bottom of the pleated
taffeta. A liberty satin ribbon sash
was the finishing touch of this effective
costume, fastened in the back with one
of those exquisite jeweled buckles of
which I pok a few weeks ago.
The gowns, hats and wraps of Lady
"Algy" Lennox, of London, who lias
made an irreparable mistake by lend
ing herself so generously to the yellow
journals, have been boomed out of all
reason and far beyond their merit, I
have seen her on many occasions, and
at no time in anything over which I
could possibly enthuse.
Most of the New York modishes have
far more effective clothes and jewels.
Durins the week I have observed sev
eral tailor-made suits of broadtail.
They are extremely elegant, but must
be a burden to carry, as the fur is very
heavy. The newest coats of this fash
ionable fur are made with very full
skirts. Some end at the knee and
others are full length. The late models
have also the wide sailor or ordinary
lay-down collars of fur by way of
trimming. The cuffs, too, are of fur,
and are wide. The light furs, by the
way, have the preference this winter
for muffs chinchilla and ermine being
much favored. They are much more
becoming to young women than are
the dark sables and mink.
A woman now engaged in making a
supreme though unavailing effort to
"get Into society," and who makes no
secret of the fact, appeared at Sherry's
Saturday afternoon in a wonderful
sable Eton, with hat to match. The
coat was very short, coming but little
below the armholes, and was cut out In
the back, exposing the pale blue silk
bodice beneath. The effect was rich,
but rather theatrical. Cuffs and collars
were similar in style, both being rolling
bands of sable perhaps the width of
one skin. The hat was a flat, broad-
brimmed aft.iir trimmed with wide
white satin ribbon, soft and exquisitely
draped, with the ends cut in points
nnd falling over the back hair. The
under-brim next to the face was lined
with pleated white chiffon. A little
girl on the same occasion, lunching
with her devoted father, was wonder
fully pretty in dark blue zihellne,
made with velvet trimmings of the
same color, and a white lace guimpe.
She was a dainty blonde of twelve or
thirteen, and wore a large hat trimmed
with black plumes. There were bands
of the velvet where the bodice met the
guimpe, and also about the armholes
and bottom of the skirt. The coat was
very long, quite to the knees, with a
belt of stitched velvet and a clasp at
the waist line. The collar was high,
snug and plain. Another child I know
is wearing a long coat of white broad
cloth, trimmed about the shoulder capes
and cuffs with narrow bands of sable.
A large white hat with dark brown
plumes is worn with this coat. Town
