The past season at Newport was indeed a gay one, and it is said by one who knows thatat least $300,000 was put in circulation.

A cream may be fancied, and 1 find it always a welcome addition. A novelty in creams is now served at the ‘Waldorf Hotel in New York. It is deli- cious and is called ‘‘graham bread ice- cream.” Itshould be remembered that wafers or crackers should never be served with oysters on the half-shell.

There is nothing like the long | skirt to conceal shortcomings in this re- | spect, and it is doubtful if the English world at large has ever realized until this autumn how very numerous these short- | comings really are. The number of in- | turned feet, of knock and bent knees, {of bow legs, etc., is something truly astonishing to those who have been fond!ly flattering themselves with the idea that the average Englishwoman was among the | finest specimens_of feminine physical de- velopment.” Now 1 have seen many “bloomer girls,” and should say from ob- servation that our women have but few of these shortcemings; for the most part their limbs are shapely, knock or bent knees being seidom seen. From an Eastern source I quote Mrs. Van Rensselaer Cruguer's remarks warn- ing “‘those who are accomplished horse- men and horsewomen that the wheelis not a timid, intelligent animal like the horse, which shrinks from climbing trees and has no distinct taste for rolling down Sc ne very swell gowns will be seen at A London correspondent remarks with | the Trinity Church wedding this week and | the little bride will be a dream of loveli- ness, but oh the toilettes at the Exchange ball. Weil, many moons have passed since such gowns have been seen. Such billowy laces, tul.es and chiffons, such im- | vosing brocades, silks and satins, such diamonds, pearls and other gems as some of us read about and covet just a little. Yes, it was worth the price of admission to see the stately matrons and our young, fresh and truly lovely girls. Iam sure of one thing, the debutantes enjoyed that ball more than any one els nd whata good time they did have. However, when | an affair of this kind is placed in such able hands success is assured, and now we may consider the season to-have fairly be- gun. Several large dinner parties have recently been given, luncheons innum- erable will be soon heard about, and teas will be more merous than ever, I predict. Speaking about teas abysses.

A black Tyrolese felt hat, adorned by an eagle’s feather, completes the attire.” A bha figur is of richly jetted black gauze over a black satin de Lyon skirt.

I want it to tinctly understood that I am discuss- as—not rer:(-}ntiuns: for, of course, a ception is of a far more formal nature, and a party call naturally follows. Those who pine for originality in frocks are now bidden to study sleeves of eve: jod and then adopt the style most be- g to their curves or angles, for by our sleeves and coilars are we to be judged | as fashionable or otherwise, and ‘‘picture | sleeves' are to be the rage; only the ugly, | close-fitting sleeves of six years ago are ta- booed. able in any other way. litt ing collars ar y difficult to make actly right. y are in great Fur, in the form of capes, will be | h worn this winter. Single capes will be most generally seen, although double | ones are provided for the very slender. | The newest of these garments are of circu- lar cut, falling in full folds, though they do not form a complete circle when spread | out flat. Yorkes are seen on some capes, but the most stylish are so cut that the skins taper and fit smoothly across the shoulders and fall plain over drooping | sleeves. Who does not sigh for one of the | new fur boas? They are indeed things of | beauty. gine one with a perfect cas- | cade of tails, Tow upon row—some have | fourteen, seven hanging from each end. Of course Russian sable boas are the most beautifnl and costly. Mink skins and the | fur of the stone marten are next in favor. | Muffs are all to be larcer, and some have | fur Jinings. | he Marie Antoinette muff is one of the | “extreme novelties of the season,’’ being | more than a yard in width. It is perfectly flat, the ends are open instead of being | drawn together. This is to be a decidedly furry season, no costume being considered complete with- out fur about it somewhere. ] Buttons hold their own, and very hand- | some rhinestone ones, costing six dollars | each, are seen in many a Paris confection. Lace, white and creamy white, is much | used on winter garments, the applique lace being much sought after. A few days ago I saw a simple but well- | cut black silk cape transformed into a de- lightful_affair by the addition of a very deep pointed yoke-like collar of rare old | lace. A bunch of violets rested among the | creamy lace 1n front, giving the necessary | touch of color, the cape being lined with | violet silk. One of our bright girls has’just had a very well cut cloth jacket made into a handsome wrap by using for coliar and cuffs an_old chinchilla cape which she had first had freshened up by her furrier. Considering how many perfect days we have here, I continue to wonder why golf clubs do not flourish. In other places it is said to be “‘the furor of the day,” and our women are not only becoming excellent players, but they are also wearing the most fetching of costumes. However, I will reserve the description of some of d on a dark night, and take care of | There | whose | among the toilettes of a fair matron | | and her hats are fairiy raved over.

The young school girls in their dainty gowns of gray mohair with white collars and cuffs were pretty as pictures. Many good gowns were seen in all parts of the ouse. MARCELLA. | e } FASHIONS FOR MEN. [ A man even if in deep mourning at the | time of his marriage dresses the same as | he would were he not in mourning, as | there can be no mourning at a wed- ding ceremony. A man’s conventional wedding dress for a day wedding is light trousers, frock coat, patent-leather shoes, | pearl gloves, white four-in-hand or Ascot | tie, high hat and tie pin. Fancy a man asking if spots can be worn with a Tuxedo or with full evening dress. A groom may wear a white vest at an evening wedding and plain gold or white enamel cuff links and studs, but never sil- ver. Pearl buttons or natural pearls are in better taste than either gold or enamel. White waistcoats are only correct for evening wear during the winter season, and may be either double or single breasted, shield shape. They are made of duck, pique or white Marseilles. | All this winter heavy-soled tan shoes | and colored shirts with white collars will be worn with morning dress. | | | | Mixed cheviot is much used for heavy frock coats. Double-breasted frock coats are very smart; the Duke of Marlborough was frequently seen in.one. Some have | been worn in New York of rough gray | homespuns. Sk | Melton cloth overcoats are very stylish | and should be worn about an inch or a lit- | tle less below the knee. Evening gloves are in best form when stitched on the back in white. Evening ties continue to be tied in medium-sized bows, which must be tight, not st tie a bow correctly, and no man can learn this respect imparts a slovenly air to any man. Good form demands care in stationery, and I recommend, as a rule, smooth, linen | finish, plain stationery. envelopes be gummed. Seals are now en- tirely used.

A beautiful zone of cut jet encircles the waist. There is a tenuer@ to place flowers, feathers or bows on ‘the right shoulder instead of the left. Several of our girls are wearing chiffon veils with theirtailor-made costumes when traveling. The effect is zood. The new {»rinted colored velvets look ex- tremely well as trimmines on black gowns and are used for blouses and vests. Some remarkably chic blue woolen gowns have been made up within the past few weeks, The blues are especially lovely at present, | the shadings and designs béing very su- perior to those seen for several years, Many picture hats meriting their name are to be seen here, but chapeaux of me- dium size are much worn in Paris, London, New York and San Francisco, for the short woman cannot, even if she has a long, | slender throat, indulge herself with a huge affair covered with nodding plumes and crush roses. In fact, she has a difficult task before she can find the most appro- priate and becoming hat in the City, as she must not only be more than critical con- cerning the size, but again she must care- fully avoid a heavy effect. I invariably recommend a Paris hat, as in the end it is quite remarkable the amount of solid sat- isfaction which can be derived from, say a Virot headgear, and if you go out much it is the cheapest in the end. Many attractive mothers here are wear- ing delightful bonnets. They are broader than last year and extremely chic. A few from Paris have dear little high crowns and poke front, but few can wear this style. I have just read of an excellent method of keeping our hands soft and white.

The attempt to_introduce white silk waistcoats in New York has Eroved to be nearly a passing fad, to which little atten- tion was paid. In both country and city, this season, Hombough hats will be in vogue. Grays will be seen with black ribbons. Dark browns and blacks can be had.

Instead, as the average woman 18 becoming learned about gems, she will sniff contemptuously at the diamond, which has no special virtue, and demand something that will add not only | to her beauty, but to her h appiness. Iam informed by a young woman who knows all about it that some women will demand rubies, inasmuch as she who wears one need never fear the rheumatism, and that others will also ask for rubies, but for quite a different reason. If their suffering comes from cold hands and feet—and these are common—a ruby will be de- manded, because it_is warranted to warm them. However, if Eve, when she met the serpent, had worn a sapphire ring, there would have been no trouble at all, as no matter how seductive a serpent is, he can- not look upon a sapphire and hold up his head. She who 1s inclined to be variable, as far as her brain is concerned, will ask her lover for a turquoise; she will be all right as long as it keeps ifs clear, steady blue, but the minute it beginsto grow cloudy and look greenish, then there is trouble ahead and she can quote how near “igreat wits to madness oft are allied.”” It is also said a turquoise will prevent your falling out a sever-story window, con- sequently they are to be recommended for kitchen ladies who suspend themselves out the windows of tenement-houses, as they | daily string the week’s washing on a slid- ing ‘rope. Of an opal it is announced the wearer will never be strnck by lightning; of anamethyst, that even a barrel of whisky wouldn’t make its ownerand wearer drunk, and of the topaz, that if it is put in a tea- keutle water will never boil. T don’t know why anybody should yearn to put a topaz in a teakettie, for I can’t believe that stewed topaz would be & desirable dish. ill, one never knows. The rarest stone in the whole wide world is that which, once in a thousand years, is found in the' fore- head of a cat. Itis a brilliant yellow, and if you are fortunate enough to get it and ship it under your tongue you will not only give birth to all sorts of prophecies, but every one of your wishes will be graufied, and you will be lucky both with women and money. I laughed the other day at reading a book about jewels, in which this advice was given: “Don’t wear diamonds un- | less you have a high light on your upper Lip.”’ It sounds very learned, but to save my life T don’t know what is meant by a high light on one's upper lip. Many women are troubled though with a shadow on the upper lip. As a nation, we are lovers of diamonds, and it is certainly true that a great many women wear dia- monds in their ears that look like de- canter stoppers. But what the high light on the upper lip_has to do with it passes my comprehension. It is announced by the people who know everything that in the years to come diamonds will be coun ed of so little value that people will have them in their doorknobs, or that they wiil be found convenient as headlights for the But this I doubt. As long as a woman’s hand looks well sparkling with the bright stones just so long will they remain in fashion, and that is likely to be forever. It is whispered that earrings are to come in vogue again. hope not. They draw attention to an ugly ear and give nothing to a beautiful one. Necklaces, brooches, hair ornaments and rings are the favorite ornaments of the woman of fashion, and if she is for- tunate enough to have long, slender fingers then she can place upon the third finger of the left and her two little fingers as many rings as are in barmony and seem suited to her. Nothing short of hanging is sufficient punishment to the woman who wears a ring on her foretinger. The only thing that is worse is the wearing of it on the thumb, a fashion affected by some ac- tresses, but which in reality only belongs to those peogle who _regard a strip of whitewash and a hairpin as suitable cloth- ing. A beautiful necklace shown to me not long ago was an evidence of the increased liking for moonstones. It was formed of those lovely stones, alternating with ru- bies, and the setting was so light that when the necklace was worn the gems seemed simply to rest on the neck of the wearer, just as if they wanted to, and not because anything held them in positon. However, such a necklace as this is not likely to be seen generally, its orice, $8000, making it beyond the reach of the ordinary woman. How wretchedly unhappy people must be who can’t Jook at things without long- ing for them! Fancy going through life and never seeing anything beautiful with- out yearning to possess it! Why, life wouldn’t be worth living. And what a disagreeable woman such a one would be! And how terribly ugly one would be! For there is nothing makes a woman as ugly as envy. It causes her lips to flatten rather than to curve; makes her eyes smaller, and it gives to her voice a sort of a whine that is particularly unpleasant. Some sins are forgivable, but envy always seems such a mean one. I think I have more respect for downright malice. Our English cousins can learn a great deal from us—I mean in the way of short sentences, that express a great deal—it has just dawned on me that they have nothing that answers to our phrase, “fi ing up,” and that covers such a multi- tude of virtues. From making an old hat look as good as new, clear down to polishing all the silver, it may extend, and it covers such an enormous ground. It means getting everything all straight, and knowing exactly where to put one’s hands on whatever one wants; it means having the gloves that need cleuning separated from those that are in good condition; your religious photographs quite distinct from your frivolous ones; the empty soda water bottles apart from the full ones; a systematic acquaintance with one’s needles and thread; in fact, getting all things ar- ranged decently and in order is “flx‘m% up’’ one’s belongings, Now, ‘‘fixing up’ one’s self is having one’s bair brushed un- til it is glossy, one’s powder well applied, one’s gown perfectly trig, one’s slippers immensely fetching, one’s gloves buttoned and one’s mind at ease. Wherever the British lion curls his tail can he find a phrase that means so much as ‘“fixing up’’? There are people who fix up books, but this is all wrong. Books should stand as their owner arranges them, and if that bloom of time—dust—collects upon them it only proves that they are not used often enough. Personally I very much dislike to have FRECKLES!
