A WHITE SATIN GOWN TRIMMED WITH GREEN ERED WITH LILIES OF THE VALLEY; BODICE OF WHITE CHIFFON, THE SAN tiful fan for opera or ballroom wear has a real lace top, either black or white, with tortoise-shell or other valuable stick. The prices asked are bigh, ranging from $30 to $400, as frequently the sticls are encrusted with jewels.” However, very satisfactory ones can be purchased for $5. L I N N Mothers are, many of them, busily selecting and making up muslin de- laine, creamy white India silk and chiffon for the little maids who will so gayly dance around Christmas-trees be- fore long. Some of the prettiest frocks now worn by the wee girlies are of accorcion-pleated white or cream white | mousseline de soie, two {frills forming the yoke and half a dozen frills on the sleeves. »r ey At a delightful tea given in the Western | Addition this week there were an unusual number of handsome capes noted, inost be- ing of black velvet. One was of this fabric lined with palest blue satin and trimmed handsomely with sable. Another had some rich Irish point applique on the | large collar, which was lined, as was the | rest of the garment, with white satin. A matron had a yet handsomer wrap as her | cape was completely edged with real point lace, the lining being a gorgeous piece of | green brocade. At this same teaa very striking brunette wore an exquisite piece | of rare lace. It extendsd ina yoke-like | effect from her velvet stock collar. In- | deed, with such an adornment any plain, well-fitting silk or velvet gown could be made effective. ¥y r e It is too bad I cannot tell you about the Saturday teas, but next time vou shall | hear all about them as they are both being | given to introduce charming girls into SATIN AND EMBROID- The members of the Sorosis deserve all the compliments they have received on their delightful reception and charming club rooms. *» Ay On Monday evening the spacious apart- ments were most artistically decorated with a wealth of flowers, palms, ferns and potted plants, emong which here and there were to be seen graceful bows and streamers of golden yellow tulle and satin ribbon, that being the club’s color. L B B B Exquisite taste was noticeable through- out, as much thought having been given | to the ladies’ dressing-room as to any other apartment, the toilet table being adorned with dainty articles in Dresden china and silver. »yr ey Some of the gowns were very handsome and much admired. One snowy-haired matron, with a bright color, was admirably attired in a robe of heavy pearl-gray corded silk. The full godeted skirt was well cut and the sleeves of the bodice were of the same material, but the bodice was of white | silk embroidered with a raised black sik cord. Point lace completed it. Lo S i vouthful maiden made a pretty ute in a simple frock of white silk and iffon, with here and there a pink rose- d.

It was a Dresden silk ng a yellowish ground, over which attered half-opened crimson rose- The skirt and bouffant sleeves were and the corsage oi pale green silk, ely embroidered in sequins. An- r costume I liked was of pale gray brocaded satin, trimmed with a deep, rich shade of green velvet, out of which was made a large how with long ends, which effectively assisted in giving a finishing touch to the decollete waist, as it was sewed between the shoulders. One of the founders of the club looked handsome in a pale lavender brocade made in_the latest | mode, with a deep fichu of fine lace. »rr 2 Several of the visitors were in visiting | garb, and two of these costumes were ex- | ent; one of a deep shade of tawny | brown fitted like a glov The skirt was | absolutely without ornamentation, the waist only baving an oriental design em- broidered upon it in a material Iam not acquainted with, but the result was ex- | quisite, the embroidery being about two shades lighter than the velvet. A French bonnet 1n tones of brown with a cluster of crimson roses, and light gloves completed it. The other dress was of prune colored ) uncut velvet. At the neck and sleeves only were bands of richly cut jet. The bonnet being also in jet it looked like a great fly with wings extended. Ermine was used excellently well in combination with black velvet, 8 crimson velvet vest giving the touch of necessary color. This vest had little ermine tails sewed on it. The wearer, a striking brunette, never looked better. ryyr ey Several costly jewels were worn, one fascinating bit of a woman havinga semi- circle of emeralds set with diamoends around her neck. e A great star of diamonds gleamed at the throat of a beauty, and I noted not a few frills and fichus of costly lace, almost as valuable as the jewels which nestled among their creamy masses. Bows were to be seen of all sizes and descriptions, from the gay, flighty looking little affairs worn in | the hair to the large ones which are be- coming a favorite adornment for many gowns. »r e The dressing of the hair is an important consideration and the proper waving of the tresses is exceedingly difficult to ac- complish, so an expert maid or the visiting hairdresser has become an absolute ne- cessity. There are at present two distinct styles of arrauging the hair which were noted in London and Paris at the begin- ring of the season and promptly se- | appeared in New York with modifications. The English fin de siecle girl wears her hair neatly and systematically waved over her head, and in the back it is in a knot which the Queen says is now an essentia part of a fashionable English coiffure. It iz by no means an easy matter to accom- plish and it is extraordinary how pointed this is becoming, standing away a long cistance from the head itself, after the manner of a door-knocker. rrr ey The style in Paris is singularly neglige, and to obtain the proper effect 1s far from easy, as the line must be carefully drawn betwween a neglige and an untidy state. When so arranged the hairshould hide the ears entirely. It is frizzed in front, while the rest of the hair is divided down the center parting. Part of it is divided off and drawn high up at the back into a locse A p c b white crepon. fittea well around the plump shou An open galloon of fine gold society. L B B B It is predicted that we are to wear *‘rats,” such as our mothers wore years ago. They softly waved and the coil is very prettily | arranged for her street hat, but in the| evening the waves are a little looser and a | few curls are allowed to escape on the forehead. »rrry at the Occidental Hotel Tuesday evening, 1 see that Lady Ocilvy has become a nurse at tie Dundee Infir: nd she is only one among a number of gentlewomen who ,’ have nobly devoted their lives to the alle- viation of physical suffering and, as a writer in the last number of Harper's Ba- zar remarks concerning the nurse, ‘“the work she d s work that in all ages ha been considered womanly, refi i gious. Itis work that in the da; | alry the lady of the castle dic al ,and edu- cated the daughters of the war-lords to do.” r e e ‘ eave our firesides foreven an hour’s shop; at this season, without | fecling that Christmas is really near at | hand; there isa brignt, cheerful look about | the holty and red berries, and such a jolly twinkle in the eyes of the children that alf of us forget that money is scarce, and | sperd in a recklessmanner. I trust many | of the beautiful pieces of embrowdery and exquisite fancy work done by our women here may be purchased. They are worthy of our appreciation. Stores and rooms ‘whem such articles are on sale are well worth a visiz, I discovered, for they | abound in dainty things one would never dream of, appropria one, and in these busy, bustling days few of us find leisure for fine needlework.

Make good, long, sensible affairs that will be ap- propriate for a smoking-room. L I B The introduction of a tonch of white to our winter gowns, although extremely ex- pensive, is again to be the rage, as we long ago discovered it to be charmingly becom- ing. A good ana sensible arrangement is to have a white satin waistcoat draped with some real lace, well made, for with it can be worn your black tailor skirt and coat of fine cloth, and later a smart com- bination is to wear it with a black silk or satin skurt and a sealskin jacket, which, if really stylish, will be lined with white satin. Of course a bloused waist of the palest blue moire, trimmed with some of One of the Latest Styles of Dressing the Hair in Paris. plique upon it, will be less expensive in the end, as the white waistcoat will soil all too rapidiy. P e ey On account of demand for chinchilla pearl-gray satin lines many coats and wraps and, speaking of capes, one just worn in Paris is described as having been made of black fox with a deep yoke of black leather traced with sequins of every imaginable color and shape, outlined with gold. I certainly do not fancy such com- binations, but then it is not probabie that we will see more than one such garment during & season, but sequins are In great vogue, beautiful effects peing produced with them. L I B Muffs lined with fur are not Popnlar. for they too rapidly soil delicate gloves. Asa result our_belles prefer a lining of white satin. A New York beauty was recently seen with a very lovely muff of chiffon. How our grandmothers would have langhed at such an idea! Nowadays happy is the woman who has the means to indulge her original ideas, provided, of course, that they are artistic, for she at once leads in her set and is eagerly scrutin- ized in her every appearance. E B Bk R coil, while all tbe restis allowed to fall loosely over the ears and invisibly fastened at the back, a few only escaying at the back of the neck.

The writer says: *‘In order to give my readers e { | | Dainty Child’s Frock of Muslin and | Lace, With Pale Blue Satin Ribbons. | [From the London Queen.] an idea of what the modern opera cloak is | like, I will describe a mantle worn by one of our young duchesses at the opera a few | It was of pale pink velvet in a | nizhts ago. design of daffodii and heliotrope, embroi- dered with seed-pearls, topazes, amethysts and brilliants, lined throughout with the palest of pale swansdown in an evanescent shade of pinkish lilac and edged with an | intermingling of faint lemon-hued mara- bout, and pink coral, garnets and uncut | topazes made into a fringe. This cloak was very wide and long. At the | back there was a Watteau plait of | point d’Angleterre, starting at the collar and gradually widening until it reached | the bottom of the semi-train. This costly | lace was vplaced on a foundation of azure | satin and had a delightfully soft and float- | ing appearance, (vershadowing the heavi- | ness of the velvet with its filmy ciouds. The front of the cloak was arranged with a kind of stole of the same lace over | changeable pink and azure satin, while the | neck was surrounded by a thick ruche of | the same material and finished off by a | little pointed hood, easily drawn over the | bead in cold weather.” | *rrry And the fashionable woman of to-da; does not consider that one such cloak is sufficient, nor even two, one dark, the | other light; notat all. She must have her | sortie de bal to correspond in color and | trimming with whatever gown she wears. | Truly, there has never been a more ex- | pensive, gorgeously extravagant season. MARCELLA. e | FOR MEN. Another great exertion is being made by “The Healthy and Artistic Dress Union” in London to bring about a radical change in evening dress for men. Black velvet has been selected as the correct fabric, and the regulation swallowtail cut for the coat is to be retained, but it is to be fur- nished with deep cuifs of silk, matching the rolled black silk collar. The vest is to be of corded white s:lk, and the shirt of soft white silk, with a turned down collar there are to be frillings at the wrist. The tie will be of soft silk with lace ends. The coat is to bave buttons of dull gold, enameled. Knee breeches are to take the place of our trousers. and the black silk stockings are to be worn with patent leather shoes naving handsome buckles. *»rr e It will be many moons before any | changes are likely to occur, although it is an accepted fact that the present style is hideous. The stiff shirc bosoms are far from artistic, and many men are in favor of knee breeches, but the Duc de Moruy | did not even succeed in changing the color | of the cloth used for full evening dress, and I think this change will probably come first. s rrry It is interesting to note that “‘the swal- lowtail coat of to-day has, by a long series | of evolutions, been evolyed from the just- | au-corps worn before the Revolution (the | pockets which were in front relegated to the back) and also from the long outer vest of Charles II's reign, made without any gatherings at the waist and with but- tons and buttonholes down the front, worn | also throughout the period of William III.

The slit at the back of our tail coat is due | to the fact that this baglike garment was | not possible for riding in withoutadivision | which couid fasten behind. When this loose vest came to be gathered in at the waist it suggested the coat body and tail; | the front being looped back to buttons on the hips originated the two at the back of the modern coat, and the folds are the re- sult of buttoning the garment inin the time of the Merrie Monarch.

The | nick in the folded collar of both coat and | waistcoat originally allowed for buttoning | round the neck, but in the evolution of these garments it has not retained the | right place, and the buttonholes have van- | ished.” * e L ‘When a bride is married in the evening in a traveling gown the groom must not appear in swallow-tails.

UPPERMOST. . By Mgs. LYs~ LiNTox. From her earliest days she was Mrs. Up- permost in her degree, and she admitted no rival near her throne. As the eldest in the nursery it was she who drilled the youngers—and a hard time they had of it. She ordered them about like so many loco- motive dolls; mterfered with their games; rearranged their toys; made them dance when they .wanted to sit stillyand set them like an army of dummies on their high chairs when their spirits were high and they were all agog fora romp. The hand of Nanna herself was not as heavy on those Curly-pates as was that of the fledg- ling Mrs. Uppermost, who could not be got to admit that others had rights equal with her own, still less that any one had au- thority superior to hers when dealing with “the little ones. It sometimes took all Nanna's official supremacy, backed by the mother’s superior authority, to subdue the pretensions of this callow Mrs. Uppermost into proper working dimensions—so strong was her spirit of | made frantic snatches at the reins. | was one perpetual contest between her and ‘| see and Mrs. Uppermost must be scolded. domination even then—so unshakable her belief in her own superior wisdom, and her right to rule by virtue of that superiority. It was s indeed, who kept the nursery in an uproar; for all that she threw the blame on every one but herself. Tt was Si i and Sissy who did that; and 8 8 nd v who punct Vill; would not let Janey alone, and Sissy who made baby ery. But Mrs. Uppermiost put it all the other way, and the Persecuted Innocent was a petted favorite compared with her own account of herself and her tribulation | As time passed the characteristic of the nursery became the scourge of the school- room. Older than her young sisters, she had naturally the advantage so far and the | start given by her seniority she utilized | with an unsparing hand. Things which she had learned only last week she as- sumed that her sisters should know to- day, and moany were the sarcesms and re- proachful jibes she heaped on the head of the pretty little Thumbling who did not know what she, the elder, had only just learned. Then she would assume her pro- fessional air and edit the lesson-book for the benefit of the dunce. But as she was once overheard impressing on Thumbling the fact that horse hairs thrown into a river grown into leeches and water-snakes, her lessons in natural history, at all events, were not of the finest quality, and the place they occupied in the brains of little Curly-pate might have been more advan- tageously filled. But it would have been of the nature of a mild miracle had Mrs, Uppermost been convicted of folly. What | she imagined she knew she was very sure was gospel trath, and that she had made mistake was out of the region of pos- Grown from childhood into girlhood, and from this passing into the young 1ady of the Introduced. Mrs. Uppermost became a slender thorn in her mother's side which not all her maternal love could bear without both wincing and displeas- ure. Critical, fault-finding, managing, absolute, she wrought at all four corners for occasions whereby to display her su- periority, and at eve turn of the roald t her mother. Who should be mistress and whose will should prevail was ti e theme on which they fought; and the battle be- came more importan d the tight more arduous asthe girl’s character consolidated and her will became more clearly seli- conscious. For very peace sake the mother was fain at times to give in and let her headstrong daughter become manageress on this and that occasion. At others she had to be firm, and protect the vounger sister, who else would not have been allowed to call her soul her own As it was Mrs. Uppermost held it as a kind of freeheld of which she merely let the tenant right during her will and pleasure, and woe betide the poor little maiden when the self-elected pro- prietress chose to exercise her rights. As both girls had been taught German, with which the mother was unacquainted, be- fore her very face Mrs. Uppermost would gird at her young sister, cailing her un- seemly names in unintelligible gutturals, which Thumbling was too much in awe of her autocratic tormentor to translate for the benefit of motner and her rebukes. If by chance tears came into her eyes she made haste to conceal them, knowing that things would ke made hotter still for her than even they were now should mother But Thumbling had a hard time of it, all things considered, and even her governess could not wholly protect ber. As a young lady introduced to the world of balls and partners, of picnics and amusements, Mrs. Uppermost made her authority feit among her friends. She managed everything and coerced every one; and where she could not control she quarreled. The timid submtted to her, but the high-spirited rebelled; and fac- tion fights were frequent in her own par- ticular set. For here again, as with her own younger brothers and sisters, she was the proprietor of all the souls that grew about her path, and those who would not f)fly her tribute got into rough water. uring this period of her existence noth- ing annoyed her so much as any show of —_—eeee NEW TO-DAY.

NETTIE HARRISON, BEAUTY DOCTOR, 40 and 42 Geary Street, San Franeisco. { her portion a very Benjamin’s; but not a independence on the part of her friends and playiellows. They must love or hate according to her ruling, else would she wash her hands of them altogether—as in the case of Rose May, her own especial chum, with whom she broke all her ties of confidential friendship and even social acknowledgment, because that young lady would marry Fred Fowler after Mrs, Up- rmost had taken him in horror and de- arred him from her drawing-room. The Fowlers were her family friends; but what did that matter? Mrs. Uppermost chose to quarrel with Fred, and, sccording to her, her whole world was bound to follow suit. Thus it came about that there wasa general jubilation when Mrs. Uppermos$ erself was engaged, and as general a hope that she would receive from her husband some of the coercion she had been so liberal with to others. “It would serve Ler right if he tyrannised over Ler,” said her long-suffering victims as with one breath; and many of the more vicious and outsraken said warmly, “and I hope he willl” But he did not. As luck would have it, she married one of those good-natured, rather stupid, rather dense-witted giants who let a woman rule the roost in her own way, and do not interfere whatever that way may be. Impressed with a profound belief in her masterly abilities, he allowed her to use them on all matters pertaining by right to him as well as on those which were her own. By degrees she invaded the whole province of masculine privilege, and there was not a circumstance on which she did not lay her dominating hand. It was ste who allowed or disallowed the cigar, the game of billiards, the hunt, the golf link, the friends, the associates, the vote and the color to be worn at the elec- tion. She allowed the poor fellow not so much free will as would give space for a fly to stand on. It was her will and her view, and his part was to conform and obey. So he did—partly from the good-natured giant’s feeling that if it pleased her that was the main thing, and partly from the gradual absorption of his will in hers, and corresponding weakening of his backbone. It would Eave taken a stronger man than this poor Titan of hers to withstand her constant attacks on his freedom. It was like the granite and the dropping of water, and the water had the best of it. She was known all through the county as the domineering wife and the Mrs. Uppermost in society. = Wherever she went she somehow managed to take a place of precedure beyond her social standing. But no one much cared to cross swords with her, so arbitrary and so uryielding as she was—and with a husband, too, who always backed hLer up, act as outrage- ously as she might. Whatever was set in the county Mrs. either quashed, if she had not been made the principal and leader or took out of the originator’s hands, if she affected the idea and held it as one rich in prob- abie honor. Before vou knew where you were, Mrs. Uppermost, and not you, the originator of the scheme, had her name in big type, and was the acclaimed of all sympathizers. To Mrs. Uppermost, and not to you, came the reward of merit—the tbanks for zeal and industry and unflag- ging endeavor — the celebration of the noble thought which prompted the busy hand. Mrs. Uppermost’s name was in ail men’s mouths, and if some made wry aces in the dark, in the full sunshine of publicity they shouted huzzas! and smiled fulifeatly. Thus was her cup full, and afoot Uppermost crumb more than her serving de- manded—she thought complacently to hez- self, counting her theft as g: As a house mistress and the manager of men and maids, Mrs. Uppermost has the tightest hand of any in the district. Her servants are well treated, but terribly in- terfered with; nursed and doctored when they are ill—for Mrs. Uppermost is great as an amateur ‘‘leech” and nurse—but scolded as much as they are ministered to, and treated with more rigor of regime than affectionate sympathy. They have no holding, indeed, in her affections at all and no sense of stability in her service. Energeti: she is, she changes them with less compunction than she throws away a pair of soiled gloves; and she changes them for the merest trifles. Things which another person would pass over with a mild remonstrance or a half-smiling rebuke she makes into crimes worthy of instant dismissal. So that in spite of good wages, good food, rigorous nursing when in sick- ness, and not too much to do, Mrs. Upper- most’s place is not a favorite with men or maids, and no one is found to stay in it Icnger than can be helped. Over her children the same domineering spirit reigns supreme. The liberty she fought for so strenuously when she was a girl she denies to her own daughters—and, so far as she can, to her sous, even when these men are grown and equipped for their life’s ventures. Before that time they live and move and breathe only by her per- mission, and those of them who develop a will of their own are “snybbed’’ as sharply as ever Chaucer’s Pore Persoun snybged the “‘persone obstinat” of bis flock. Thus, as she is, Mrs. Uppermost lives as in a sense the terror of her world—arbitrary, positive, managing, supreme, unsoftened v love, unmoved by sympathy, herself her own divinity, and ner own will her sacred law.—London Queen. — .
