The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, December 8, 1895, Page 17

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER s, 1893. 17 Continuing my investigation of the re- sources of our San Francisco stores 1 found this week a large collection of very handsome furniture. Especially note- worthy was a genuine Hipplewhite cabinet in a perfect state of preservation. Several excellent pieces of Chippendale command the attention; one, a quaint sofa, has very beautiful lines, as have also the chairs, , which match it. Apropos of chairs, there are also some real Sherraton ones suitable for someartistic room. The marquetry style is well represented, and I would suggest that a beautifully carved little cabinet of old-black English oak, richly carved, which recalls the Elizabethan period, would make a useful and welcome Christ- mas present, one you need have no fear of seeing duplicated. *x k % * Xk A great deal of attention has been given to draperies and tapestries. As a result many unusual designs, most reasonable‘in prices, are shown. an oriental figure, showing a wonderful blending of greens, pinks and blues; an- other in tones of browns, greens and red is | excellent. Fc ik ok What am I to say about the Horse Shorw, when every one has had so much already tosay? Well, to begin. The gowns were positively charming, the women very beau- 1 of course and their jewels well worthy of admiration. Half at least of the gowns worn were a combination of a black silk or | gatin skirt with a fancy k waist, a coat | basgue or a Louis XVI jacket, and never | werg there seen more white vest effects. | These wasthe vest of white satin, of white | broceded satin, of white embroidered | satin, of white chiffon, of white silk veiled with lace, of corded or brocaded white silk. * k *x k *x i Some of the bonnets and hats were | s, otkers nightmares. Combinations | ack and white and eray and black | w much affected by the matrons, but in most cases burdensome ornaments of | pearls, rhinestones or cut steel gave a | tinishing touch. A lgvely togque had a | crescent-like front of fine selected rhine- etones, with a soft shirred crown of black velvet: at the right side was an aigrette of | rich lace. Another, of prune-colored vel- d a crown of oriental splendor; ex- | quisite sequins, shading from prune green and gold, entered into its compos: tion. An odd aigreite of jet made this one of the most stylish hats to be seen. Many of the light costumes showed how charmingly Dresden silks combine. For | instance, one with a light yellow ground | had pink roses, with their green leaves. | This silk composed the skirt, but the waist | had a vest and sleeves of pale green chif- fon over pink silk. A bonnet of light | green veivet had a delightful odd aigrette | of pink. Some of the wraps worn were far hand- somer than the waist underneath. A Parisian creation was of silvery gray vel- vet, over which was scattered long stemmed biush roses, with their leaves and thorns looking remarkably real; the Duchess satin with which this superb cape was lined changed from gray to green. A ruche of point face materially added to its beauty. T A handsome matron looked regal in a | wrap of black silk velvet, lined with violet satin, and completed with a splendid col- lar of Russian sable. * k Kk Kk Kk I noted a dear little cape of white fig- ured satin lined with pink, which had a collar and edge of ermine and an enamelea clasp of turquoise blue on silver, represent- ing two plump cupids holding a wreath of roses. Too bad, is it not, that I cannot describe until next week some of the creations which will be worn at the Sorosis recep- tion, for I know how very beautiful some of them will be. * k k k % Very successful and delightful in all re- spects was the euchre party given to forty Cloth Gown With New Skirt Treatment. One piece, having a | rich ivory-colored ground, is adorned with | 1 ladies by & winsome hostess, who resides | on Laguna street, on Tuesday last. After a most interesting set of games the guests | adjourned to the dining-room, which was decorated with red berries, violets being scattered over the damask table cloths. Crimsen shades were over all the softly burning lights. Delicate refreshments were served on the prettiest of china. i * * Kk Kk Kk | | From thename of the patronesses it issafe to.predict that the Christmas sale, which | will take placeon the 14th of this month | in Oakland, at the residence of Mrs. C.

'The skirt is plain with a short train. The fronts of the low waist ‘are crossed over and pleated in the middle. Itis square at the top, lace edging the front and back; double fan-shaped lace epaulets fall over the shoulders and are continued in front into long lace lapels, which extend to the foot of the skirt. * k Kk k X A creation just designed in Paris for a fair duchess ““was of sky-blue satin with large bouquets of violets embroidered in silk and chenille, having diamond centers; the low bodice has a large stole descend- ing in front and two at the back, bordered with small ruche of pale violer crepe de chine; these stoles are loose and_flowing on the upper skirt of white crepe de chine plisse soleil. Short sleeves, with large Al- satian bow of blue satin on the shoulders.’ * k x *x X The Infanta Eulalia, about whom we have heard so much, has been indulging in some French gowns, several of which she has been wearing during her visit to the Rothschilds.

Truly a charming 1 gown. * k *k x Kk A beautiful blonde lately appeared in a | toilette of butter-colored taffeta covered with a chic little black figure. The full godet skirt was absolutely anadorned, lined, as was the rest of the dress, with | pale yellow glace silk. The wearer isa | tall, stately maiden, so the basque with its | accordion-pleated front of chiffon, which | matched the gown, and little zouave jacket | fronts of black satin, with three rosettes | on each side, were most appropriate. The | back was fitted exquisitely and ended in little coat-tails. The high soft stock had on either side black satin rosettes. * k k k % A brown-eyed girl here has a frock which suits her wel’l’. It is of finely striped blue and white glace silk, and has a gored skirt continued into a short corselet edged | around the top with a ruche of plain blue silk; very narrow ruches to match run along all the seams of the gored widths; a square-cut low chemisette of white guipure is finished front and back with a wider ruche, short balloon sleeves of white chif- fon, draped in the middle with a cluster of Jobelias; a cluster of the same blossoms is worn over the left shoulder. * k k k Kk g A good evening dress is of white satin, | precious and rarest. combination of black satin and gray chif- fon. The skirt and coat ba:que were of | the black satin, and the vest of thelove- liest pinkish gray shade of chiffon, over gray silk, the stock being also composed of the chiffon. A bonnet of gray shirred velvet, with two pearl pins and a fluffy black aigrette was most becoming. Gray suede gioves were also worn with excellent results. * k kX k K Opals promise to be quite the rage and are being fashioned into sleeve links, broches, scarfpins, buttons as well as gorgeous tiaras.

Black opals are also used when very fine.

MARCELLA. e FOR MEN, Our men have, most of them, been well and correctly garbed during our horse show, and have many of them established the reputation of being excellent whips. * k X k * In England at a recent “hunting break- fast” the table was wonderfully effective. Top boots held the flowers at opposite corners, a hunting cap formed the center pide, and was of a bright color; across it was a-croup gracefully arranged. The cap had a tin lining and held ‘“‘blackber- ries cut in long trails, hawthorn berries and shaded chrysanthemums.” The spur- red boots were filled with the richest of crimson chrysanthemums and were slightly splashed with mud; horns, horseshoes and hurdles were arranged about the table in an artistic way. The designer advises that real bits, horns and shoes be always used. * k k k % The faa of collecting old and unusual furniture and historical bits of silver is much indulged in by many of our bache- Iors, who show good taste in their selec- tions. * k k k * Men who have little *‘shooting boxes” THE LATEST THEATER WRAP.

All this leads me to say that I do not ap- prove of the custom of wearing black as a mark of respect; asa mark of that it has Jong since ceased to be a symbol, for do we not all know that many people put it on who simply did not care a button for those for whom they don it, but because it’s the fashion? If only those who grieve for the loss of a dear one used weeds 'twould be all well and good, perhaps, but even then black is so deprés‘;fng that it is asking those who had no part in their happiness to share their pain. And then, again, one might really sor- row sincerely for the loss of a relative and not feel quite like wearing black half their lives, as my friend has done. I hope somebody will shed tears when I am gone and feel a regret for me, and thay need not omit flowers, for I love them, but they need not go into inkiness on my ac- count, and I am going to put that in my will.

Not Drinking Water but Household Pets the Agency of Disease. Chicago Times-Herald. An old-time physician of Chicago, now retired, finds that the ordinary house cat may be the means of spreading diphtheria far and wide. This man of medicine con- temns the idea that drinking water can be an agent in carrying germs. This is the way the scientist states his case: ‘‘Instead of trying to make a scape- goat of Chicago drinking-water, as many people are trying to do in connection with the large number of cases of diphtheria now in Chicago, families containing small children would do well to look after their own cats, as well as any stray cats that may be found on their premises. As a means of communicating diphtheria and of carrying the disease from one household to another the common house cat is prob- ably more dangerous even than chilaren suffering with the disease, for, as a rule, the latter are watched carefully and quar- antined in most cases. **The medical evidence showing that cats not only contract and suffer from dipth- theria, but convey the poison even when they themselves remain well, is abundant. In addition to the evidence from foreign countries and from other parts of the United States, two small epidemics in Illi- nois have been traced directly to cats that had diphtheria. The more interesting of these cases occurred in the little village of ‘Worden, in Madison County, in August, 1881, A few miles out of Worden wasa family with some children who had throat trouble, that was found to be diphtheria. Several kittens in the household were the pets of the children. The kittens were taken sick, showing the usual symptoms of diphtheria in cats. Two of these kittens, just at the beginning of their illness, were given to men living in Borden, who took them home as pets for their children. | days. One of the children took diphtheria, and thus was begun a localized epidemic which infected about one dozen children and killed about half of those affected.” A WEDDING DRESS WAR FLAG. The Iron Duke’s Colors Were Patched Up for His Funeral. ‘We are told a curious circumstance con- cerning the colors of the Thirty-third, or Duke of Wellington’s Regiment. On the death of the Iron Duke the regiment was biought from Glasgow to London to attend the funeral. The colors were lodged at the town house in Portland place of the com- manding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Blake, where the color party were billeted. To the simple, uninitiated mind of Mrs. Blake the tattered condition of the regi- mental colors seemed a reflection on the regiment, and she was alarmed that it should be seen in that state in such a great ceremonial. Taking her white silk wedding dress,she obtained the material wherewith to repair the color, and it was, practically speaking, her wedding dress duly draped that was borne at St. Paul's that day.— From the Royal United Service Journal. e ——— Dwarfs Famous in History. Marcus Antonius possessed a dwarf, Sisyphus, not auite two feet tall, ana yet the possessor of a remarkable wit. The page of honor to Mary Tudor, John Jervis by name, was one of the tiniest dwarfs of his day. Julia, the niece of the famous Augustus, had in her service two pigmies—Canopus, twenty-nine inches high, and Andromeda, her freed maid, who measured just the same height. Poland, in the fourteenth century, had a pigmy King, Ladislas the Short, who won | more victories than any other northern monarch of his time, and who left a great name as a jurist, statesman and ruler. Christian Il of Denmark had a wee dwarf to attend him, who was faithful to his master, even in adversity.
