The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, March 15, 1896, Page 19

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 15, 1896, 19 HAT the Easter season will bea gay one there can be no doubt, for we know of more than one fashion- able wedding which is to be sol- emnized. Then there will be a Presidio ball and a reception at the club- house on Sutter street, given by the Daugh- ters of the Revolution, and many more in- teresting and delightful affairs which are destined to keep us more than busy. The past week has been far from dull, and this week the reception on California street be well attended, and so the time g | flies. 1t should be remembered that! visitors need never hand their cards to the maid who answers the bell, them in the drawing-room, but in the en- trance hall instead. Vanity tells of an interesting and novel entertainment recently given iu Balti- more. It was called ‘“An Observation Party” and is thus explained: *A large number of articles were distributea on tables in the roowr, into which the guests were taken two by two, as the Noah family and the animals went into the ark, and | were given exactly two minutes to observe all they could. They were taken out then and given paper and pencils to write down the names of the things they could re- member and make guesses as to the total number of the articles. The most success- ful guesses won the prizes.” I have just been informed, on the best suthority, that real pearls, when dis- colored, should be worn night and day to restore their color. I refer to pearls which are unset, only strung, otherwise nothing can be done. It seems to have become an epidemic Jast the desire to possess, by fair meansor foul, a crest. As a natural result I read that our colleges of heraldry are as prolific in fiction as the writers of the *“‘penny dreadful The manufactured crests, ar- morizl inditiduals are a source of the keenest ment to the initiated. It issurpris- g the amount of old family silver in this City, which is adorned with old historic crests which prociaim its age, even if the quaint shapes did not do so. The trousseau of the Princess Henrietta is a subject of interest to most women, and it Princess had such exquisite linen. dently her mother, when giving the order for it, felt that nothing could be too fine | or beautiful for her lovely child. The wealth of beautiful lace employed is said to be something fabuious. Every stitch was done by hand and 100 dozen of each article were prepared and finished in six weeks. Many women must have blessed the Countess of Flanders for so large an order, but she has always ordered every article of clothing for herself ana children in their native city. The wedding dress was of the richest white satin, the front and folds being exquisitely embroidered with silver wheat ears, and bordered with pearls; tae cut of the skirt shows to great advantage magnificent lace which was pre- sented to the Princess by the ladies of Belgium, & narrower kind was used for | the bodice and _fell gracefully over the sleeves, where it was looped up with shoulder-straps in orange blossom and myrtle. The priceless veil was draped on the train, for 1t is nearly five yards long, being veil and tran in-one, which pro- duced a deligntiul result. One of the Princess’ ball gowns is also spoken of asa model of perfect taste. 1t is of brocade— pink satin—the bodice encircled with drapery of brocade and strings of brilliants and pearls, large puff sleeves in pink satin with butterfly bows of ert billeui,”’ with loops of pearls. The skirt i trimmed with panels lined with green satin and hemmed with pearl and brilliant beading. Tne train is of pink satin. The bride’s mother, the Countess, is described as hav- ing been charming in a toilet of the most delicate shade of electric blue, the front embroidered in glace, and the whole trimmed with delicate lace. The sister also wore light biue, for, as I have several times -Jately remarked, blue. especially turquoise biue, 1s to be 1n ereat vogue. For useful orainary skiris shepherd’s plaids and checks or all descriptions are being made up to wear with fancy waists and black jackets, for in spite of all the re- | marks made by the best authorities con- cerning odd waists they continue to floar- ish, and i ;n};(ck? are still the exception, although for stout women the effect of the fancy bodice is distinctly bad. The first model I selected to present to you is of a white chine silk, upon which mauve and green flowers are scattered, and the sleeves of this are close-fitting and snall, made of manve chiffon, maanve chiffcn again put- ting in its appearance to form the pleated sront of the bodice, while a full frill of cream-colored lace falls over the shoulders. Such a frock is admirable for the south now, and later for any one of our fashion- able resorts, and the style is amply in ad- vance, so that no one need fear that it will not remain in style for the next six months, as it has just been designed for Monte Carlo. - Another made by the same house is wor- thy of imitation, being of a beautiful ual- ity of white alpaca lined with pale blue glace. The bodice has an inner vest of tucked white chiffon and is eaged with a fichu bordered with tiny frills of the alpaca 2id over equally tinv frills of the blue glace, and round the waist isa broad belt of black velvet. % 5 The next gown is chnr.mmg.nlso. for it is of palest green glace silk trimmed with ecru lace and cfiine silk, and the seated figure is beautifully clad in ecru chine can- ;m. lined with pink silk, trimmed with ace and pink ribbon. There (gin be no doubt that the silk of the season will be peau de soie, and the newest brocades have this for a ground- work. Silks will be used for morning toil- ets quite as much as for evening wear, hence the wonderful selection of silks now on the market. Cameleon Luxor, in uch artistic mixtures as shades of ger- anium and gold, dark and light moss and mordore, blue, green, white and Javender and two tomes of green, with blue and peach. Orange and magenta will be very popular, The silk itself bas a velvet nor do they leave | bearing and mottos of aspiring | is said that seldom has even a | Evi- dresses made with waists to | like surface, with the exquisite bloom of a | geranium flower, particularly noticeable |in iuc:. combinations as green and Parma | violets. * The newest chines are remarkably lovely. | Many of them are thrown on shot taffetas | and shaded grounds, as ombre effects are among the latest novelties this year; some of them have stripes that shade into one another.- One unusual chine effect is on a shaded ground, which appears to be covered with minute white network, and | the chines are thrown on pink shaded stripes and on carmele stripes. The best of the chine effects are printed on the warp; 1t is only the less expensive class in which the pattern is printed after the silk is woven, but this is so cleverly done that | it exactly imitates the results obtained by the superior methods. Chines are also to | be had in a watered pattern, and numer- ous are the Cashmerian fizures. For maid- ens and youthful matrons these silks are obtainable in colors and designs that recall the Watteau period. Brocades have not lost their hold on popular favor; indeed they are much sought for, although the best are very | costly, having become more elaborate and complicated than ever. In white they are | thrown on chine grounds, when the flower petals overlap each otber. Satin still takes a front rank and will continue to be much worn. Plain colors will be favorites for walking costumes, for unceremonious occasions, but there are a number of new fanc woolens so beautiful in designs and shad. ings that they are sure to enjoy great favor. The thick sackcloth in blue and the natural color will be much used for tailor costumes, and as the buttons and waistcoats are extremely chic they will be considerably worn. The mater thick, although made of cotton or linen thread, and is well suited to the style of skirt and | bodice we expect will be in vogue. Also to be noted among the spring materials are the mohairs and alpacas, with woven silk patterns in many shades. I hear also of a kind of snowflake upon a_ canvas | ground that is destined to be much_liked, as the flake is always white, while the ground may be had in any color. The white flakes on a gray surface is very de- sirable, but I think inappropriate for sum- | er. ‘Etamines of a totally new style are going to be iavorites. They are of a much coarser texture tham those worn last year and will be used only by those who can afford a lining, the ve being so transparent. | The novelty in these etamines consists in a | tiny colored bead being dotted over the They are gold, silver, blue, red casionally green in color. | A new make of woolen canvas is also to be had with silg brocade of a well covering renaissance pattern, and the silk grena- dines with satin stripes or chine patterns give the promise of pretty gowns. Many of the colorings are less vivid than they were, and the combina s are_wonderful and the treatment original. One of the newest tones of green is malachite, a’ de- | cided coloring, for indeed we are return- | ing both in patterns and tones to the fash- | | ions of the early part of the century. The revivals are vivid_coquelicot, the rich plum violet which of late we have called eminence and glowing yellow greens. The diagonal coating serges are sold in all the new brieht colors, and fancy woolens of all sortsand kindsare so excellent that a choice is more than usually difficult. I thoroughly recommend the grass linens. Those with silk stripesare charm- ing, but you will find the best quality obtainable in the plain fabric more eco- | nomical, if money is a consideration, for the smart New York girl has hers made with insertions of gold lace and wears a gold belt. This is a gown worthy of our admiration, and very numerous | tached bright-hued ribbons, making an apparently new frock every time they are changed, but be sure to have one at least with gold lace and insertions. | A queer, new garment has appeared and | been received with fayor, it is between a jacket and blouse. and is said to have “a | narrow ruffle effect over the hips, and the fullness is belted in with a narrow gilt belt. | In front the fullness hangs down over the belt.”” Brown and black are the two | favorite colors for this odd creation. The | gilt belt will become common all too | it, as black isbeing used a great deal, giving | as it does, when artistically used, a certain | air and touch truly Frenchy. White will 1 seen, but will not become general, xpensive, having to be constantly | either washed or cleaned. 1f golf is generally taken up this summer | red coats and capes will be ordered, as they have met with approval East, being picturesque and appropriate on the goif | tield. Golf cas)es are to be slightly wider this season, otherwise the cut remains the country wear, as when driving no more | useful "earntent can be had. Double-faced | cloth is always used, and dark colors are | preferable. | 1t is safe to predict that our skirts will | be less volum®hous this spring, but will be quite as graceful. The godet proper will vanish and the fullness placed m pleats or ang ngs at the back; the sides will be flatter. The jackets will all repeat the Louis XV and the Louis XVI form of the winter, and the waistcoats will be prettier | than ever. A walking costame is all that can be desired when made over silk ofa | good quality with a jaunty shor$ coat and | a dear little waistcoat, perfectly fitted, just | a trifie longer than the veste. In a short | time we shall most probably be wearing a sleeve of moderate width from shoulder to wrist, a sleeve which has narrow revers | over the toy of the arm, or a puffimgora | pleating of silk or lace something’ like | the epaulet once worn, and the au- | tumn ~ will probably bring the severe coat sleeve, and that will mean the Wal- teau style of gown, and, indeed, if the fichu continues to flourish their effect | should be completed by paniers, as they are their indispengable adjunets, and by those who remember their charms, and certainly the fichu isoneof the most be- coming articles of attire everinvented, but it must bearranged with much care and real art to suit the individual figure. Some require it to be fixed so as to form a V, others a square, or a round, as the case may be. Most of the light gowns are to have a ficliu, and very charming they are when composed of a finely spotted net, with the frills edged with a very black are the changes which can be made by | having an extra waist to which can be at- | | auickly, and black ribbon will soon displace | same, and they are now_in demand for | S! A "CHINE ILK DRESS. velvet ribbon, and tkis reminds me that in Paris black velvet ribbon upon lace is quite the rage, and black velvet trimming will adorn almost all of our summer gowns, and will beautify the most fashion- | able fichus and in combination with frills of lace and lace insertions will form | the new sleeve. A correspondent says: “The top portion of the new sleeve may be frilled in this fashion, while the lower por- tion, which is.to commence about six inches above the elbow, a point not to be forgotten, can be formed of the lace wrinkled tightly around the arm. On a rounded arm the transparent lace sleeve wrinkied is quite charming. The woman who is, however, unfortunate in the pos- session of a flat arm should abjure its attractions. Asa waistcoat for the open coat, which is certain to be as popular as ever it was, the white lace frills and the black velvet trimming will be most effec- tive. Another piece of fashionable intelli- gence that I have gleaned is that braid is to be once more in favor. A plain skirt looks exceedingly well trimmed with gra- duated lines of braid up to the knees, ana this may be completed with one of the new short boleros, which escape the waist by three inches, and hang loose and straight at the back and front.” Stout women should rejoice that the latest skirt being moderate in dimensions bas a tendeney to increase their height and slenderness by having less fullness at the sides, the tube-like folds are gone. All the new flat trimmings are on black white or colored nets; thus a delightiu effect is gained. 5 Mohair is said to make stylish and de- lightfully inexpensive dresses. A good model has a severely simple skirt, well hung, made walking length. The bodice should be round with & flat plait in the back; the fronts are to have about seven small tucks on each side, asa setting for a broad chine ribbon with melange of orange, browns and blues sifted together and gliding into a balf-distinct figure, whicn the newest chine ribbons have a way of doing. This forms a preity blouse, | the girdle being a narrow fold of chine ribbon completed by a frisky little bow at the left side. s Now that many are going to play golf and ride the wheel, a dress that will answer for both may have the skirt cut on | the ordinary principle, which should not measure over three yards (but two and a half yards are sufficient) round the hem, and fasten at one side. The usual covert coat, with medium sleeves and no fullness in the basque, has been found satisfactory. An excellent material tor this purpose is a Venetian cioth of a cedar tone. A Tam o’ Shanter of the same material, with three or five black quills at one side, is suitable. With this can be worn, for golfing, a scarlet waistcoat fastened with small gold buttons, which is cut so as to show a white shirt and pretty tie. When cycling a Tattersall vest is good form. A tailor gown which can be made to serve on many occasions has a coat of medium length, made of black cloth, turning back to the waist on a straight line from the neck, with white satin braided with narrow black braid. The vest of this is of white satin, and at the neck should be worn a cravat of fine lace, The sleeves are of the new style, and a belt of black satin finishes the waistcoat. ‘With other vests the resuits are equally good if the coat1s not faced with white satin. The warm weather again inclines us to consider seriously light, prett{ fabrics. Cuiffon, although an expensive luxury, is to be more generally used than formerly. A waist of waved chiffon, accordion- pleated, having a_square yoke of cream- colored lace insertion, with satin rosettes, is charming in any light shade. A blouse of shot silk, with a box pleat down the back, a frilled front and a deep square collar ot cream-colored muslin and lace cut into tabs and trimmed withsmany frills of lace and insertion, is a useful and ornamental affair. A slender debutante would be especially fetching in a bodice of white chiffon made full between rows of gaugings, and ruchings of the chiffon should er{ge the decolletagé and a bow of black velvet on the left shoulder givesa chic touch. 1 have just read about another of thin light gray and white striped glace, which is lined with pale bine silk. It hasa yoke of white chiffon, which is tucked and edged with frills, and they are bordered with yellow lace put on with the narrow- | est of black velvet ribbon. These frills cover the sleeves, which are correct, being tight, with just the puff at the elbow, the undersleeves from wrist to elbow being of the white chiffon tucked with the combi- nation of lace and black velvet ribbon. For an elderly gentlewoman an excellent i traveling mantle is princess-shaped, tight | at the waist, the back forming puckered | pleats below the waist. Heart-shaped shoulder slope with velvet facings joined to a round turned-down collar, the whole edged with a stitched slope; sleeves open and turned down, mounted in hollow pleats, the open part of the front is trimmed with velvet facings edged by a stitched slope. This sleeve discloses that of the dress and is lined with striped silk. MARCELLA. b S FOR MEN. Men are pleased at the return of the shepherd’s plaid, as it suits most of them. Englishmen have always liked it, and trousers of it are effective. One reason Americans should be cautious about wearing plaids is because they are, as a nation, comparatively slight, at least Vogue's authority thinks so. The long walking-coats of rough mate- ral, which are so generally worn, are not at all suitable excepting for very tall men. As the season advances there is a tendency shown to order grays in smalil checks. I expected to shudder over the vivid pink shirts which are to be fashionable, but am quite an admirer of some to be had at one of our haberdashers; but those of bright green or sulphurous hues will never excite my enthusiasm. However, fads are the order of the day and to be a faddist is quiteinteresting, butsafety only lies in conservatism. As yet the latest styles have not arrived even in New York, 50 we must possess our souls with patience and give no unnecessary orders until the styles are more settled. The question has again come upina leading New York journal as to whether, when a man is making a call, he shoul remove his top coat before entering the NEW TO-DAY. I GUARANTEE GooD - THINGS.

The answer is good, so I give it for theBenetit of many readers. What one should do depends upon cir- cumstances. There are many kinds of visits that a man can make at a private house. He could call in the morning, that is to say, before noon, which is the usual hour that women of affairs discuss their affairs and have their business transactions, in which case he goes strictly on business, and is not supposed to be calling. He would then leave with the servant his outer coat, for example, a heavy storm coat, or overshoes, but he would enter the drawing-room, or whatever room is used as a reception-room, as if he came on business, and not as if he were making a personal call. He would therefore take into the room his hat, his_stick and his gloves, and if he is wearing a light top coat he would keep that, but if he 1s wear- ing a heavy storm coat and_is wet, or his overshoes are wet, or there is anything in his dress that, if carried into the reception- room, would look as if he were bringing the weather in with him, he would leave them with the servant. This covers the question of business calls. If he is making a formall call as one of the friends of the nousehold, whether he removes his top coat or not or whether he carries his hat and stick and gloves with him or not depends upon whether heis ex- pected or not. If he has been invited or comes by ap- pointment for a purely social visit, and is quite intimate with the people he would leave his hat and stick and gloves with the servant. 5 If he is making a call and is not ex- pected he would take his hat, gloves and stick with bim. The safe side is always the conservative side and a man is always less likely to make an error of good form if he takes his hat, gloves and stick with bim. Foreigners are much more accustomed to taking their hat, gloves and stick into a drawing-room when making calls than are Americans. The bachelors of the Knickerbocker Club in New York gave a brilliant dance at the Waldorf on the 10th of this month, that being mi-careme, and a brilliant affair it was. Herman Oeclrichs is to be congratulated by having secured the Paran Stevens house, which is of suitable size to suit his hospitable disposition. Now that it is positively asserted that Scotch whisky will not bloat it is correct to drink it with soda and now champagne must %ve way to the German wines. The idea that some have that the Prince of Wales carries his own wines about with him when visiting private houses is incor- rect, as he only does so when attending public banquets. «.C. C.

A SUMPTOOUS ALTAR-BOOK. 350 Copies Printed to Match the Lim- ited Edition of the Prayer-Book. One of the most noteworthy specimens of ecclesiastical literature ever published in this country is the new and elaborate edi- tion of the altar-book, issued by the authority of the Episcopal church, advance sheets of which are on exhibition in the offices of Thomas Whittaker in the Bible House. The altar-book, containing the order for the holy eucharist, according to the use of the American church, with the collects, epistles and gospels of the Book of Common Prayer for all the Sundays and holy days of the year, together with those from the occasional offices and from the ordinal, is the work of D. B. Updike of Boston, who was commissioned by the general convention of 1892 to prepare a special edition of the Standard Book of Common Prayer. So highly appreciatea was the limited edition of the prayer- book that it was decided to printan edition of the altar-book,on similar lines, ina manner as sumptuous as possible. The book contains the collects, epistles and gospels to be used througiout the year; the order for the administration of the Lord’s Supper, or holy communion; the collects, epistles and gospels for the com- munion of the sick, for the visitation of vrisoners, for Thanksgiving day, ior the ordering of deacons, for the ordering of priests, and the consecration of Bishops, and for the consecration of a church or chapel. In additicn, the musical notation of such parts of these services as may be said or sung by the priest is given, the music being so arranged thatit shall not necessarily interfere with the custom of those priests wio do not intone the service. The text follows exactly therevised Startd- ard Book of Common Prayer of 1892. The authorization of the work is shown by the certificate of the Rev. Dr. Samuel Hart, custodian of the Standard Book of Com- mon Prayer. Original illustrations form the most striking feature of the volume. These in- clude pictures suitable to the festivals of Christmas, Easter, Ascension, Whit Sun- day and Trinity. The first Snnday in Ad- vent is faced by a representation of Moses Iiftin? up the serpent in the wilderness, as the Old Testament type of the crucifixion, and the series closes with a plate facing the prayer of consecration, representing the crucifixion. These pictures are the work of Robert Anning Bell of Liverpool, adesigner in the front rank of English artists. All of the seven plates in the book are surrounded by decorated borders in black and white, which are the work of Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, and the pages osposite each plate have borders surrounding the gospel for the festival of the same elaborate character. All the fourteen borders differ, and every collect, epistle and gospel begins with an initial letter designed by Mr. Goodhue. Upon the large letters for each collect there 1s a shield or scroll, bearing, from the first Sunday in Advent to Trinity Sunday, symbols of the seasons or saipts to which the collect is proper, and for the Sundays after Trinity the names of the cardinal virtues, the gifts of the spirit, etc., in Latin, In the border for Christmas day bats and moles are interwoven in foliage, signifying the darkness of the old dispensation, while owls hold in their talons scrolls bearing Le names of the patriarchs, the major prophets, etc. The Easter border contains peacocks, the ancient emblem of the res- urrection, holding in thelr place scrolls bearing the names of the four evangelists, the doctors of the church especially asso- ciated with the prayerbeok, and the three Marys, as_typical of the light of the new dispensation and the triumph of the church over the synagogue. Sir John Stainer has supervised the musical part of the book. The book is an imperial folio, 11 by 15 inches. The edition is limited to 350 copies. Among the subscribers to the work In this city are J. Pierpont Morgan and other men of prominence and wealth in the Episcopal church.—New York Sun. ————————— Luck. Florlda Times-Union.
