NEW YORK, Jan. 17. The holiday
season Invariably brings about a falling
off in the attendance of smart folk at
the theatres. Nevertheless beautiful
toilettes have been conspicuous at sev
eral playhouses during the past fort
night. Of one of these the hat was the most
striking feature. It was very large, of
white fur felt, and it was almost covered
with chrysanthemums of the big pinkish
white variety, with undercutting petals.
A three-quarter coat of white broadcloth
partially covered a white net gown, gar
nished with velvet flowers. The coat
was tucked all over, save where there
were wide insertions of Bruges lace, a
cascade of which also ornamented the
entire length of front.
A woman in a scarlet gown, made in
simple princess style, wore In charming
contrast a brown chiffon cloak and hat
of brown fur felt. The hat was tilted to
just the right angle by means of a clus
ter of red rosebuds, which were tucked
snugly under one side of the brim. The
top trimmings were also red chiffon,
ribbon and roses. It was a curious com
bination of colors, but most effective.
Mr. Bourke Cockran escorted two
handsomely gowned women to a box at
the Bijou theatre a few evenings ago.
One wore a -white spangled costume,
made In the most extraordinary manner.
It had three-inch wide insertions of
black, jetted lace, crossed x-fashion over
the back and front. The effect was so
novel and striking that the toilette es
caped n" one. The hat was a white, soft
beaver, covered with delicately tinted
orchids In pink and white. Trimmed
among these was a twisted pale blue
satin ribbon, with ends falling just over
the hair. There were also flowers and
ribbons under the left side of the brim,
where it turned slightly away from the
face.
One of the most delicate, becoming and
ravishing costumes I have seen this
winter is a silver-gray crepe de chine
from one of the best Paris houses. It is
trimmed, the bodice only, with silk an
tique lsce. This is let In a very shallow
pointed yoke, and again at the waist
line, for a depth of about two Inches, it
is visible. The finest of hand shirring,
alternating with closely stitched bands
of the crepe de chine, forms the body of
the waist, as well as the tops of the
sleeves. Dangling gray silk ornaments
decorate the front and sleeves also. The
latter are quite too elaborate to describe.
Below the shirred top the fulness Is left
entire to the elbow, where It Is caught
into a wide klmono-llke cuff of lace
turned back, stitched and adorned with
the ornaments. Below this is still an
other modest fulness or puff, ending in
a handsome pointed lace cuff; the latter
is feather-boned and perfectly finished.
The ckirt Is a gem. It has a short hip
yoke and slender front panel reaching
to the bottom. Ten rows of finest hand
shirring are joined to this yoke on each
side of the panel, and these alternate
with bands of closely stitched crepe to
form the entire sides and back of the
skirt. There are no less than ten series
of shirrings and stltchings on cither
side of it. About the bottom Is a grad
uated and very full accordion-plaited
flounce of crepe de chine finished with
several ruchings. The skirt has not a
particle of trimming save this exquisite
hand work, and It is beautiful.
The new Japanese cloaks for opera and
evening wear are another feature of the
new styles for winter. These are just as
gorgeous as the orientals wear them, and
only slightly modified in shape. One worn
at the opera last week on two different
occasions was of pale yellow silk, elab
orately embroidered in large red poppies
and green leaves. Its -wide sleeves, not
so loose as the original at the armhole,
were padded slightly, as was also the
body of the cloak. It had a straight,
loose back, showing the flowers in clus
ters, and was about forty-four inches
long.
A white gown, with silver spangles
and a superabundance of Jewels, was
worn under this gorgeous affair. It -would
be odd to predict a revival of spangles
and solid jet gowns, but indications
really seem to point that way. No less
than a dozen of these brilliant creations
were sprinkled about the horse-shoe at
every opera performance this. week
Most of these gowns had designs wrought
out in the iridescent bits of tinsel.
Ball gowns are made as filmy and
clinging as possible, with plenty of ful
ness about the bottom of the skirt. All
are resplendent with illusion lace, flow
ers and not a little fringe.
Although one sees many paillettes and
scintillating spangles of all varieties, the
gown itself must be soft and billowy,
with this sort of ornamentation used
with sparing discretion. Yellow net over
silk, with a pallletted border of gold a
foot deep, makes a stunning toilette for
a dark-haired woman. Town Topics.

Wife I wish you would let me know
what sort of dinner to have tonight.
Husband That's a good idea. Well, I
shall either not be home at all, or else I
shall bring three or four friends with
me.
Mistress Didn't you hear me ring be
fore? Maid I kind of thought I did, ma'am;
but I wasn't sur.e.
Mistress Well, next time, please give
me the benefit of the doubt.
It was little Alfred's first ride in a
sleeper. He had thought it great fun
when he was popped Into the upper berth
to sleep. But during the night a sorry
little voice called. "Mamma, take me
down! I don't like sleeping way up
chimney." A. T. D.
