FASHION
NEW YORK, Feb. 14. What with au
tomobile, riding, golf, rainy day, car
riage, afternoon and evening, dinner and
opera gowns and wraps, the size of a
fashionable woman's wardrobe Is nowa
days something astounding. We mod
lahes have found the closets of the win
ter resort hotels utterly Inadequate for
our accommodation, and it is not at all
unusual for us when we go to Florida
or elsewhere at this season to take an
extra room simply for our clothes. Half
the satisfaction of being well gowned is
due to the care given to one's costumes
when not in uee. The best garments may
be ruined by Inattention, while many
say that the hardest use their clothes
receive is wot in the 'wearing, but In the
closet Crepe de chine and silks are
especially susceptible to 111 or to good
care. Nothing looks worse than a crepe
gown even only slightly wrinkled, since
the chief beauty of this material is its
soft, silky smoothness.
The pale blue and delicate gray crepes
de chine, tucked wherever the goods Is
employed In the making, and united with
real Cluny lace of Irregular edge, con
tinue much In favor. A variation in the
trimming, however, is noticeable. Within
the past few weeks, instead of having
the wide laces run perpendicularly, they
are made to encircle the skirt s$t regu
lar Intervals; that Is, provided the fig
ure can stand It. The tucks are still fine
and perpendicular in most cases.
A flounced cream taffeta worn at one
of last week's dinners was very effective.
The skirt showed four deep ruffles, each
pinked top and bottom. In the way pe
culiar, I believe, to the year 1898. The
bodice had numerous small ruffles fin
ished in like manner, which quite en
circled the slender shoulders and bust,
until they were confined In a wide soft
girdle of palest pink at the waist. The
sleeves were very short little more than
ruffled caps and finished In pink bows.
There have been several skating par
ties at the different rinks recently, and
the costumes of the girls have been more
stunning than ever. You simply cannot
get too much trimming on them, particu
larly if it Is fur trimming.' One vary
young girl, not a day over sixteen, ap
peared in a light cloth short suit with
an ermine flounce, fully a foot In depth,
about the bottom of her skirt and a
huge muff. Her tight short coat had
a sailor collar of ermine, deep cuffs and
a belt Her toque was also of ermine,
without the black tails, and had a large
black pompon, by way of contrast
standing erect from a fold in the left side
of the brim. Another girl was a charm
ing study In golden browns. Her simple
Norfolk suit was of corduroy, and her
hat and furs were of sable. Mrs. Frank
Gould wears Just such a costume when
out for a morning shopping trip or with
her husband In his automobile.
Sable and black lynx are Indisputably
the furs for natural blondes. A young
woman seated beside her coachman, and
driving a splendid but empty four-in-
hand coach up Fifth avenue Wednesday
afternoon at four o'clock, wore a gray
corduroy with sables, but this combina
tion was not near'y so good as the
brown.
The automobile toilets of women are
improving all the time, but those of the
men are growing worse and worse. In
deed, many a handsome woman may be
seen sitting beside some indistinguish
able man, who is got up like a veritable
ogre. The fur and leather coats are be
ing made In a less cumbersome manner,
and are now more becoming.
Lillian Russell wears a lovely coat of
Russian squirrel, with wide revere and
a violet trimmed toque to match; and
invariably a perfectly huge bunch of
violets adorns the front of the coat Her
veils are usually white, and what are
popularly called "beauty veils."
It seems that as street and evening
gowns and fancy waists become more
and more elaborate, wedding gowns are
made more and more simply. Simplicity
certainly appears to be their keynote
this month. Satin or heavy silks made
on Princess lines are the very smartest.
The latest cry in bridesmaids' gowns
is to combine various colored shades of
the same color In their making. The
effect of this shading is charming. At
a late afternoon church wedding last
week, the bride wore a Princess gown of
white satin, with the draped front panel
elaborately embroidered in floral design.
This was, however, practically the only
trimming on the gown, the back of which
was concealed by the heavy lace of her
veil. White cloth costumes predomi
nated among the guests, and several
were exquisite. One In particular, was
made up with the new antique' and wool
lace in various widths. It was applied
to the skirt in the shape of a wide trail
ing line of hand-embroidered roses and
leaves, done all In white, almost covering
it, and leaving only a short yoke of the
tucked broadcloth. The bodice, full, and
with deep shoulder capes let In from
the armholes, was also one mass of lace

a pearl-studded lorgnette attached, was
worn with It, and a handsome pearl
trimmed purse was carried in the hand.
The hat which completed the outfit was

the slender, and two girls, known popu

this fashion for the function of which
I write. The material used was white
crepe de chine, which takes accordion
plaiting charmingly. The skirts showed
medallions of lace here and there, and
the bodices were wholly of lace over the
plaited crepe. The sleeves were plaited
and shirred into the arm-holes to the
depth of about four Inches, and then the
fullness fell unconfined to the elbow.
From here the lace medallions joined to
gether to form a deep cuff.
A dark blue satin had squares of Irish
crochet set point to point down the back
from the collar to the end of the train,
and a like arrangement was used In the
front of the gown.
A snowy canvas tailored suit had a
loose box coat, finished In two lace
deml-flounces falling just below the
waist Each of these was piped with
white silk, and white silk medallions,
made of bands Joined together by fagot
stitching, adorned the bottom of the loose
skirt This effect in trimming was car
ried out also on the sleeves and sailor
collar. The advance hats are noticeably
smaller than the winter models, and the
high-brimmed turban is to be more pop
ular than ever. In lace and straw, Ihey
are even more fascinating than in furs.
AH sorts of straws, fancy and plain,
with very little trimming, are already
on hand to be worn with the smart new
walking suits. These come In first each
year, and are not always safe criterlons.

first of April. As I have before stated,
a mode has to be tried and adopted by
the fashionable element before Its run Is

The late Sir Frank Lockwood had few
superiors Inrepartee. The genial lawyer
was a tall man. An unruly member of
his audience once called out to him in the
middle of his speech: "Go it telescope!"
"My friend is mistaken in applying
that term to me," Ixickwood answered;
"he ought to claim it for himself: for,
though he cannot draw me out I think I
can both see through him and shut him
up!"
