The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, November 24, 1895, Page 19

I THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1895. 19 At 8 large china-store downtown are to be seen several very artistically set tables well worth a tour of inspection. For in- stance, in the blue and white room is an ideal breakfast table all set in dainty Co- penbagen china, showing the charms of | this combinaticn; even the cloth repeats, with excellent effect, the blue tone, and | on the walls are to be seen tiles and plaques on which are painted picturesque windmills and peasants, all in blue on a white ground. I quite decided on having a charming bit of a lamp which fitted cozily in an angle in this same apartment. In the larger room are what are called “Thanksgiving Tables,” each one being laid for some especial course. Just as you enter you naturally stop to admire a fish set of china which is very effectively placed on a table, the center-piece of which is embroidered in seaweeds, and on the plates appear the same decoration. An exquisite lamp with a pink shade, draped with lace, sheds a becoming light. sh s o The terrapin table is one of the prettiest. A low, large, fairy-like lamp is in the center, over which ferns are trained most gracefully. At each placeis a cassette of French china perfectly representing a ter- rapin. and at the head of the table is one on a larger scale. Cut-glass dishes with olives, etc., are placed here and there. The bridal table is all in white and gold and is set as if for the roast course, the Venetian glasses being especially fine. The oystersare served on plates of Limoge china, white in the center, and deeo blue ound the border. Holly berries dec- orate this table, the cloth being the work of an artist. A candelabra in crimson and white stands 1n the midst of the berries, while fairy lamps, as gaily colored as the holly, give a grateful touch of color. The dessert set, of the most exquisite Haviland, has plates which must be seen to be appreciated, as in the center of each is a lovely medallion painted in the Louis XVI style. The lunch table is the daintiest, as the Dresden china is beautiful enough to coax the m y from even the most conserva- tive pocketbook. The bouillon cups are a sore temptation, and the-exquisite Jamp is fit for the boudoir of a princess. The can- dles have shades of lettuce green arranged like the petals of a rose. The supper table is rich in guaint Ger- man tankards of all sorts and kinds, and the tamale plates are excellent. The fairy Jamps in tnis case are the heads of owls and cats, which gaze with brown and green eyes in a knowing way at the tamales. On my way out I cast an admiring glance &t the superb banquet lamp of the richest cut glase, most beautiful and graceful. On leaving this attractive store I paid a visit to some rooms close by where are to be found many artistic pieces of Italian, French and Enghsh furniture and quite a collection of other things, such as wrought- iron lanterns, mosaic frames, embossed leather cushions and many little things excellent for holiday gifts or euchre prizes, but the Venetian lace I especially wished to see had not i L ? I see that Ellen Rerry’s sister, Miss Marion, is acting at the Garrick Theater in London with much success and so fetching are her gowns that I must describe an evening one which is composed of lemon- colored satin. e bodice is prettily draped with white chiffon and frills of Mechlin lace. A deep empire sash of satin isfolded round the waist, and from it depend .two scarf-like ends of Mechlin lace. The skirt is enormously wide and has a demi-train. A knot of scarlet roses at the top of the corsage completes this charming toilet. The others are said to be equally well de- signed, and Miss Eleanor Calhoun, who has been acting in the melodrama, ““Cheer, Boys, Cheer,” is said also to manifest most excellent taste in all her wearing apparel and to bave gained much in ease and grace of manner. * * * . Plum color 1s for the moment the rage 1n Europe. The bodices of such frocks are usually %enished with black satin ribbons and mink tails, for mink is in great vogue, as well as chinchilla, which is such ade- lightfully fluffy and becoming fur, as one of our belles is fully aware, for she looked radiantly lovely in a cape edaged deeply with it at a recent “‘at home.” s o o Matrons have been wearing at manv weddings this season velvet dresses, with Louis X VI coats. One such coat is effect- jve of richly brocaded blue silk of the new shade, with a white satin waistcoat em- broidered in_gold. A double bouillonne ruffie of chiffon goes around the throat and extends down the front. A square, upstanding collar of velvet of the same shade of blue is in good taste. The cuffs should fall over the band with lace ruffies. Diamond buttons are frequently seen, but very handsome rhinestons can be used. th sk o I will quote the description of a mest use- ful gown from an excellent dressmaker: “It consists of a black satin skirt with a silk blouse, on which a black design forms the superstructure of a lovely brocade beneath. It is bordered with sable, and bas white satin lapels and a black satin vest, with just a suspicion of light blue peeping out at the edges. The buttons are exceedingly handsome tmetbrsts. set round with paste, and the collar is of | quite the new shape, the band pointed | with pretty ontstanding plaitings above, | | scribed: terial is made with a becoming grain and has a dust-proof surface, it will be even more popular. One of our belles is good to look at in a dark blue tailor-made serge. Her skirt is full and the waist fits her pretty, slender fiqure to utter perfection. This gown is silk lined and absolutely plain, the stitch- ing only adorning it.” At the neck and wrists are to be seen the daintiest collar and cuffs of white Irish linen. With this gown she wears a dark blue telt, on which are perched a few wings of the same color, and two rosettes of ribbon, changing from a deep blue to green. A more sensi- ble and stylish costume for morning wear cannot be desired. th s o Jeweled hair and hat pins come in num- erous designs, and can cost a mere trifle or many dollars, for instance: “A twisted serpent of gold, with ruby eyes, coiled over the irregular top of a tortoise-shell pin’’ is not to be passed by thoughtlessly, as it would make an admirable Christmas gift, if your purseis well filled. If not, there are the pins of fine shell, carved artistically, which are always acceptable. Hatpins are also excellent gift<; one of the newest is of gold with round, pearl- shaped, or pointed top. The old model | representing a sword hilt is always pop- ular. Some of the gowns worn by guests at the Vanderbi!t wedding have been thus de- Miss Fair wore a very seaute gown of brown striped velvet, fitting a merveille, with a brown velvet hat en- | twined with roses of every color. Mrs. Levi P. Morton wore a gown com- | framing the face as it were. Indeed, there | is a great deal in this dress worth noting, | such as the fullness of the skirt and the pretty arrangement of black satin on the shoulders, forming a sort of epaulette, which starts from the collar.” A gown much admired at a reception | last week was of black velvet, relieved | with the new shade of pink and some rare | lace. A very handsome costume worn the | | same afternoon was of a rich black silk, | baving a vest effect of vivid crimson veiled with cut jet, which also adorned the sleeves. Striking contrasts are given entirely out of fashion, but emerald green is seen with a new shade of pink very fr-quently. In Pari ts, vests and bodice trimmings are all alike, the actual bodice and sleeves totally different—for example, “a plain, | brown-cloth dress had a green and biack | crepon bodice trimmed with capes of the brown cloth.” Really this particular com- | bination may have been very Frenchy, but | I cannot enthuse over it. ] ol One thing noticeable about all Paris frocks is their air of simplicity. Asa writer in Vogue says: “The stamp of elegance is to be had only by giving to a gown some- | thing to distinguish it from the blaze and ; glare that has been carried to such an ex- | treme in_showy trimmings. Hand em- broidery is the dernier cri from the best Paris houses, and while the materials are | superb, the laces costly and the embroid- eries only of the finest, yet an air of sim- plicity gives to all th their charm. | Nothing is overdone or overcrowded.” | The latest French skirt has eight godets, | all cut on the straight thread of the ma- | terial. They neither dip nor drag. ‘“‘At | the top they are wide enough to admit of a pleat, which fold over each seam, and when the skirt is hung there is a perfect | fold at each godet, as it flares to the bot- { tom.” We will all rejoice at this news and hie us to our dressmakers so as to secure one at once. oo | Whatdo you think of a copper-colored | velvet gown? It has a full plain skirt, a charming jacket bodice. | Velvetis the favorite fabric, but satin is much used also. Leather is in vogue for waistcoats, cuffs and collars, but only the softest and most beautifully dressed is | us Kid, suede and glace, is in demand. White suede over brightly colored silk perforated in pretty designs is fashionable. Buttons are more beautiful than ever. | Antique coins are used for this purpose | with pleasing results. | Buch an exceptionally beautiful creation | | has just been completed for a stately young | { woman that it merits a better description | than I can give. The gown is of poult de | | soie, in a rare delicate shade of pink. The | | skirt is gored ail the way round. The| es and bodices are of the most ex-| | quisite lace, laid over a pink chiffon, which has as a foundation the poult de soie. | Then there is a Jace basque effect, beaded by bands of jeweled passementerie. the sieeves being formed of pink glace ribbon, a few folds of which outline the decol- letage and are brought up atone sideintoa bow, while black velvet roses nestle among | the ribbons on the sleeves. | I understand that a pretty brunette | | looks charming in a waist of scarlet chif- | | fon, which, completely covered with an | A Charming Evening Gown. (From Le Moniteur de la Mode.] | embroidery of black lisse, with “‘a white lace applique outlined with gold sequins, the straight pieces on the tops of the shoulders being also made of this em- broidery, while on this were gathered full | sleeves to fall to the elbow of piain satin.’” The much-gored skirt worn with this waist is of the plain, crimson satin. At one of our leadin%’ stores I saw a very excellent jacket of black velours du Nord, which reminds me that this fabric continues in favor, and a cape of it has a black ground covered with Persian figures in Oriental colors. This garment is lined | with a shot green silk, and has a ruche of | black ostrich feathers in place of a collar. Ermine, minx and caracule walst- coats are among the noveities of this season, which are described as being de- lightful and pretty. These are said to be made tight in the shoulders to overhang a narrow belt at the waist, and are mounted on a thick silk lining, and are supplied with sleeves, which adds to their s‘comfort.” Icanimagine them as great additions to handsome cloth tailor-made dresses. I have come to the conclusion that we should all of us possess a serge frock, for no more useful dress has been foum‘i for winter, and now that this ma- posed of black satin and velvet, and with it she wore a chic black velvet bonnet trimmed with feathers, a white aigrette | and a soupcon of mauve velvet in front. The Misses Morton were dressed alike, in gray cloth skirts, maroon velvet jacket bodices and Louis XVI hats with soft white velvet crowns and shirred black velvet brims. One of New York’s belles, Miss Hoff- man, ‘‘made a happy choice in aroysl pur- ple cloth gown, combined with velvet of darker shade. The bodice had triple col- lars and a finish at the neck of a double Medici collar of white satin embroidered in gold thread. One-half of the collar | stands high, while the other half fits the shoulders a “‘black velvet picture hat with six purple wings and white satin loops and bows for trimming.” The Misses Blight like the Misses Mor- ton were dressed alike and were very at- tractive in tieir cloth gowns, the purple | Gown Worn by Miss Marion Terry in “The Rise of Dick Halward” at the Garrick Theater. [From the Queen.) | of fuschia, the bodices having point de venise barbs defining the blouse. They wore black velvet picture hats with nod- ding plumes in a peculiarly graceful way. So much has been said about the splen- dor of the American Duchess’ gowns that it isa relief to speak of the lingerie, which is so beautiful that it appeals to all dainty women, for as can be imagined when $3000 is spent on underwear alone the result should be the finest of cambric, the most | exquisite of laces. Vogue says: “An ex- quisite_robe de chambre attracted atten- tion. It was of linen- cambric, with a deep rever of hand embroidery, repre- senling sprays of daisies, placed so asto come to a very narrow point in front, graduating out over the shoulders intoa wider one. Underneath the embroidered rufile was another of the cambric, with a fall of lace six inches deep. At the back was a coulisse, through which was drawn | the ribbon to tie in the gown around the waist. In many of these chemises these ribbon belts were seen, and in this | way they could easily be used for a corset cover, alhough a number of these dainty | articles were made, some to lock like baby waists, tucked and fitted in to the figure. There were adozen of the corset waists, and through the yokes and insertion were drawn baby ribbons.” In this trousseau were foarsilk petticoats | for walking gowns, each a gem in its way. An excellent idea was carried out in hav- ing the under flannel skirts made of zernaine crepe, which has an eiderdown | lining. All these had French silk yokes and frills of taffeta silk, the colors being exquisitely blended. th s o Capes will be universally worn at the horse show, and will probably be patterned after the New York ones, which were so universally admired, being either of velvet and fur or fur and vélvet. Beautiful, graceful and costly wraps, many being overwrought with exquisite jet embroid- eries. Laces also enter into their com- position. This has been a satisfactory week in | many respects, for not only has it been gay socially, but, as usual, society has given its aid toward a worthy charity, on which oc- | casion some of the gowns worn were re- markably chic, and at the numerous teas | San Francisco’s belles were unusually lovely, at one of them a pretty dark-eyed maiden in a gown of pale-blue chiffon, made very simply, was especially noticed : not only on account of her sweet face, but more especially for her delightful manners. It is safe to say that if that girl were ngly ibxylzxtend of pretty she would anyway be a e. I met a girl the other day hastening to an afternoon reception who has just re- turned from Paris. She wore a full black silk skirt, just such as we all own, but as she raised it slightly I saw it was ail faced with magenta colored silk. Her waist was exactly the color of the flowers of the plumbago vine, with which she wore gloves one tone lighter. A short cape of black velvet covered her shoulders, and her hat—well, to tell you the truth, I only know it was becoming for I gave too muc] attention to the waist and facing. At the Baldwin Monday night the gowns on the stage were picturesque and pretty. Mrs. Hopper made an excellent youth, her tennis flannels and pink shirt leaving nothing to be desired. In the audience there were good toilets. One matron wore a costume of heavy light gray silk, slightly watered, over which h a littie flare.” Her hat was | Sty Z %{ 5 From Le Moniteur de la Mode. were scattered graceful bunches of pom- | padour roses. A twist of velvet and a sprightly bow finished the bottom of the | waist, but it was further adorned with a | Marie Antoinette fichu of excelient lace. | A bonnet of rhinestones and gray velvet | | with a white aigrette was in excellent taste. s b Why will large women insist on wearing | | things with spotty effects? Now, the other | | day a young woman of ma tions was assisting | o which had spots about the size of a pea all | overit. The dress was of handsome qual- ity but perfectly insignificant. | branches of large roses or a bold figure cov- ered the surface the gown would have been strikingly handsome, but the truth is many women do not understand their own | | style; however, on the whole, I believe no | | women have more excellent taste than the Americans, and I am glad that this is be- | coming an acknowledged fact not only in this country butin Europe as well. Indeed, models created by our best New York dressmakers are considered to cqual in all | respects creations from Worth, Felix, | Doucet and Paquin. MARCELLA. . 2 FASHIONS FOR MEN. | The second loan exhibition of portraitsat | the National Academy of Designs has been | a ereat success. Nearly 200 miniatures | bear witness to the fact that this branch of art has been very successfully revived. Four beautiful examples are from the brush of Mr. William G. Baer. Ada Rehan’s portrait by Mr. Sargent attracted much attention, as his coloring is unusually good. So much attention will be directed to- ward our horse show that it is to be hoped our men will attire themselves correctly. | When driving four in hand afternoon dress | must be worn, black frock coat, silk hat, | light trousers, patent-leather shoes and | tan gloves. Those who ride should appear in ordinary trousers, strapped under | ent-leather walking boots, black cutaway coat of vicuna, silk hat and tan gloves, ex- | cepting in the entries for hunters, over hurdies, when the regulation whipcord and corduroy with boots must be worn. To invest in cheap trousers is money thrown away. They are never satisfactory unless made to order, and $13 is the usual price paid for them in New York at a good tailor’s, and such garments pay in the end in every sense of the word. I wonder if any one in Menlo Park has | a “Lancer cart.” One has recently been shipped to New York by the owner of a shooting box for the benefit of his fair visitors. sh s o When a wedding is followed by a recep- | tion the duties of the ushers are not com- pleted at the church, as at the reception they meet the guests at the door and bring them up to the wedding party. Heretofore the wedding procession has been led by the ushers walking two and two, but a change is predicted, for Vogus says concerning the procession: ‘‘It is| prettier to arrange it after the manner of | the Marlborough - Vanderbilt wedd.ng, where the ushers, when their duties of seating the guests were over and the wed- ding party had arrived, sat down in the pews near the front, and the bride was precéded only by her bridesmaids, which is essentially the right idea of maidens at- tending one of their number to the altar. Men are out of place as an escort to a bride, except the father of the bride, and ushers certainly have nothing to do with the case, their part of the proceedings being ended when the guests are seated.” s s o Patent leather shoes or boots, buttoned, with plain leather uppers and even low- auartered ones, go_with afternoon dress. Pumps and black silk hose are for evening wear. Brown lisle-thread and black silk or lisle-thread hose are worn with morning and afternoon dress, and it 13 considered smart by some to wear the undershirt, un- dertrousers and hose of the same color and material. However, black underwear will never prove popular. 1t is a matter of surprise and much com- ment to our Eastern friends that so many men who can afford properly made shirts wear detachable cuffs, and insist on dis- playing huge watch chains, when long ago TO GET RID OF GRAY HAIR.

A sensation has been created in Vienna by a man who probably stands alone in the world in his particular line of per- formance. His name is Piskslug. He is an expert, or rather a phenomenal artist, in the use of the gadwhip. Being some- thing totally new in the way of entertain- ments his appearance has been the occa- sion for packed houses. Mr. Piskslug is a thick, muscular little man, with very keen eyes and a swarthy complexion. His wrists, from constant use of the,whip, are marvels of strength. There are no frills or fussiness about this man. He has no use for a clawhammer coat, but comes on the stage in a well-worn peajacket and after making an uncouth bow to the audience goes right to work. The first thing he does is to take a long- lashed, stout-handled whip in each hand, and, with orchestra accompaniment, pro- ceed to crack or snap them at a terrific rate. The sound made by his whips in this manner is graduated from a noise like a rifle report to the soft click of a bil- liard ball. It makes a curious sort of music and serves to show how he can reg- ulate the force of each stroke. More in- terest, however, is evinced when he seizes & vicious-looking gadwhip with an ab- normaily long lash.” Itis provided with avery heavy handle of medium length and ending in a crook. This is his favor- ite and with it he does wouderful things. He first gives an idea of what fearful force there lies in & whiplash in the hands of an expert. A large frame, over which is stretched a calf or a sheepskin, is bronght on the stage. This is marged with large polka dots of red paint. The man with the whip steps up and, swinging the lash around his head, lets fly at the calfskin. With every blow he pulls a piece right out of the leather, leaving a clean-cut hole. These pieces are distributed among the andience to show that there is no trickery about the performance. After this he takes a frame with three shelves. On these there are a dozen or more of medium-sized apples lying close together and provided with large numbers, Any one in the audi- ence may designate whatapple he wishes struck and the unezinz lash snatches it out like a flash. still more difficuit number is the snapping of coins from nar- row-necked wine bottles. A piece of silver about the size of half a dollar is put over the cork of the bottle, which stands on the edge of the table. The whip artist, with- out even appearing to take any sort of aim, sends the long lash whizzing through the air and picks off the coin without jarring the bottle, much less breaking it. He also uses his whip in the manner of a lasso, and can pick up small objects in an astonishing manner. Like everybody else in Europe this distinguished foreigner soon expects to start for America to, with the aid of his whip, gather in the mighty dollar. ———— THE TIME OF PARTING. Preliminaries to the Formality of Say- ing Good-Night. “Laural” There was an undertone of sadness in the young man’s voice. Outside all was calm. The full October moon shone— pronounce it shon, please—peacefuily on a community that was beginning to wrap itself in dreams. Whatever of misery or squalor—sound the a long—had disfigured the landscape in the garish light of day was_hid from view behind the friendly shadows of the night, and there was nothing in sight to vex the eye of the man in the moon or bring the blush of in- dignation to his rounded cheek. The quick ear of Miss Kajones caught the melancholy inflection of young Fer- guson’s voice. *‘What is it, George?”’ she whispered. Even in the semi-darkness of -the Kajones parlor the face of the maiden might have been observed to take on a paler shade, and for a moment the youth did not reply. The cat on the rug awoke from a troubled dream, yawned, | stretched itself, turned the other side to | the fire and went to sleep again, and the flowers in the vase—kindly call this vahz—on the piano diffused their mild, | grateful perfume through the apartment. At last-the young man spoke. “Dearest!” he murmured. “What is it?” It is growing late.” He looked at his watch. ““It is growing late,”” he repeated, trem- ulously. “The last car will pass alongin three-quarters of an hour. 1 must leave you in_exactly forty minutes”—and he clutched her hand—*in forty minutes ex- actly! Dearest, I"— “Oh, George!” “I must begin to say good-night!""—Chi- cago Tribune. —————— Not less than 100 new vessels were launched by firms on the banksof the Tyne during the month of Awugust, and this is the largest number of shipslaunched there in one month during the present year.
