THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 22, 1896. A ANY are the rumors of interest- ing engagements which will be | very shortly announced, and | all our belles, as a result, are | anticipating an exceedingly | bright Eastertide, and I sincerely trust | they may not be disappointed, and that | the various resorts will be unusnally gay | this summer is a safe prediction. The | meeting of the Fortnightly during the | past week was very successful, as were | also the card parties and the pretty but small tea at which about twenty guests were entertained. It is quite the thing to discuss trous- reaux, and one lovely girl, soon to become a bride, has rarely perfect taste, which she has always exhibited even asa bud. All her gowns are to be models of simplicity; but even the most insignificant are to be lined with exquisitely tinted silks, and her house gowns are revelations of what dressmakers can accomplish, and make it very apparent that it is not necessary to send across the continent or to Europe for satisfactory clothing. It is no longer the style, for those who can afford it, to wear nything even at home not composed of the richest fabrics, which are truly ad- mirable when made without ornamenta- tion with long flowing draperies. Two or three materials are not infrequently used in combination. Cashmere is again to be worn in the house, and is of a very superior weave, and may be had.in every shade imaginabie, A mohair crepon is a fabric being much , as it is correctiy consicered more satisiactory than cashmere, and for evening wear great will be the demand for all sorts and Kinds of fancy gauzes, which will be made up over silks or satins into ideal dresses. The rumor that black and white is to be the rage for spring wear is now confirmed, for all the clothes direct from Paris that 1 and white are white ana equently black is seen faced te, and some espec fetching models are made of black and white check. T small black and white check, com- known as shepherd’s pla:d. is a bric 1n its way, and shouid be veed and not in a material of e. Undoubtediy it is most ive when faced with biack, and worn over white shirts, or these which haye a broken line of black on a white ground. o th guipure in jet em- Many are sold in sets of three—graduated. The motifs in the grass 1 broidery and in broderie anglaise. most_artistic results in_muslin are pro- duced by light guipure effects. The Bre- ton laces are again coming in. Great quantities appear in a single irock, as they are gathered and very full. Spotted V. lenciennes, Brussels, Chantilly and appli- que are to be used in the same way, and as butter lace is found to be more adaptable than dead white it will be first choice. | Tambour laces are also revived. Many old patterns-are to be sren—suchas the Etrus- can and Swiss emburoideries of several | kinds. Many laces appea: on new foun- | dations, among which are the wire zrounds and the cherry ones, and one of the latest novelties reported are the Astrakan laces, disks in the pattern representing the fur, These, I hear, are almost all carried out in geometrical designs. Very lovely are the laces embroidered in the many colored silks. Some have but ope color to outline the partern. g : At present in Paris there is a sad lack of good plays on the boards, even at the prin- cipal theaters, so the feminine portion of the audiences have to content themselves with criticizing what is worn, as what is supposed to constitute the plot of say M. g!eilhnc’s new play, ‘‘Grosse Fortune,’ is not worthy of much thought, and even Mlle. Bartet, the leading lady, is said not to exhibit ber usual excellent tastein the selection of the materials which compose her costumes. However, they are all handsome dresses, worthy of deseription. The one worn in thefirst zct is ver{; simple, being of rose pink crepon over a beautiful quality of glace of the same shade. Lace adorns the neck and wrists and a ribbon of satin the waist. The sec- ond toilette is of white and gold brocade opening at the sides and in front over pleated mousseline -de soie. The sleeves are of mandarine velvet richly em- broiaered in gold, and are very much ad- mired. Miss Bartet shows a fancy for odd sleeves in strong contrast to her gowns, | and in many cases the results are not happy. A gorgeousevening robe is next exhibited. It consists of alternate stripes of yellow moire and pink roses upon a white ground. The bodice is of pink satin covered with lace. The sleevesare of a double fall of lace. The tea zown worn by this actress justified the price charged for it—$600—the front being of mousseline de soie literally covered with Parisian dia- monds. The back is of bright yellow satin embroidered with scarlet and red roses. The sleeves are of the mousseline de soie bt up with roses and choux of ribbon. s remark concerning this robe that yihing more vast would be difficult to imagine. Insthe same play Wlle. Brandes appeared in an exceedinely tasteful frock of Nile- green mirror velvet exquisitely cut, but simply made. The skirt was perfectly plain, just sweeping the ground at the back. The bodice was cut in a low square back and front, and thesleevesreached the wrists. Pale pink roses end white lace encircled the decolletage, and at the left gide was a large bunch of Parma violets. Her ball dress also excited admiration, being of satin of a crevette shade embroi- deied with branches of drooping glycine worked in goid. The sleeves were of lace. Qver this was worn an opera cape of white monsseline de soie, with three bands of embroidery inserted within half a yard of the hem. The upper part was composed of a deep fall of lace from the shoulders in the form of a pelerine sewn upen a square empiecement of pearl embroidery. White ostrich teathers completed the coilar. ¢ 1 have just heard of a delightful gown recently worn by the new Duchess de Vendome (nee Princess Henriette). It was a breche silk 1n rose color and silver, bad a pointed court bodice artistically draped with embroidered lisse laid over pale-bine satin, the sleeves being of the same, with insertion bands of the lisse and silver ribbon. Panels of the blue satin veiled with the lisses are let into the skirt. Another of her dresses in which the ceru- lean hue is noticeable is of lampas glace, trimmed with the blue de France velvet. The bodice is cut square, and round the decolletage there is a double garniture of blue velvet and° white satin and a berthe of variegated primulas. also appears in several rows round the hem of the skirt and there is a sash of it falling on to the trained skirt. Several of the Princess’ bodices are veiled with | tulle, and some blouses are formed of al- ternate bands of insertion and ribbon.

Chatelaine bags in the richest of bro- cades and velvets are in great demand, being especially valued when the owner’s crest or monogram adorns them. They make most appropriate gifts. Beige batiste gowns I recommend which have the bodice made without liniug, and the skirt separate from a silk petticoat of the same shade. The skirt for such a skirt is gored and plain. The bodice should be wound with seven balf-inch tucks in a horizontal cluster across the back from arm to arm and fits quite flat to the figure. The fronts match, being tucked on the same line and fitted flat to the waist. The same group of tuckings is seen in the gigot sleeves and the line must be un- broken fron. waist to sleeves. Cuffs and waistband of black satin always produce a satisfactory effect and the neckband is composed of lace ana mull, with graduated jabot of lace on tne front of the corsage. "aricus ribbons make a pretty change and fancy jeweled belts are frequently worn instead of ribbon ones. b It has been well said, “Simplicity raust be the stamp of distinction,” for that, in connection with taste, will make the sim- plest frock a thing of beauty; and during these bright Lenten days what more lovely bit of fancy work can dainty fingers find to do than to stitch and ruffle pretty fichus, as an unlimited number will be worn for many months, and the historic gown of black satin is to be relieved with these pretty trifles. Those of old lace are the choicest, but not to be despised are the many made of chiffon or mousseline de soie. A creamy white one, edged with lace, is excellent, but if it cannot be afforded a AN AFTERNOON TOILET. with a Directoire coat, disclosing a vest of | ruffle of the same is effective.

So we mayv look for a long reign of this new con- fection. The very handsome jacket given vou this week is of black brocade, tie pattern outlined in jet; fronts of gray satin em- broidered with steel and silver, and an ap- plique of black velvet at the edge. The tabbed collar is of gray satin embroidered on black satin. - Black Chantilly lace adorns_this little coat,and the hat is a chip with black tulle bows and handsome block tips. The afternoon toilette shown on this page is described as having a vest bodice with postilion basque in Chine shot taffetas, godet skirt to match, bows in velvet in a darker shade, sparkling with steel bristles, adorn the four front slits, through which peeps out a fluting of miroir velvet. aistcoat with tabbed basque in cream peau de soie, steel but- tons.

There can be no doubt whatever that loose-back coais will be great favorites, but they must not extend below the hips. These abbreviated coets are made not onl in cloth, bat in velvet as well. Velvet is to remain in vogue, and a costume of cor- duroy velvet was lately seen, made with a plain skirt and a sqlunre brocaded jacket fastened with a pearl button, worn with a wbite satin The same style re- produced in Venetian cloth in any color. | viduality, but do not imagine you are proving yourself to be artistic by going around in frocks fit only for the family circle. One strikingly pretty girl here is usually alinded to with a simile or spoken of as a frump, because she insisis on wear- ing garments designed by herself, which she considers highly. effective, when, in reality, not one of them should be worn out:ide of her home, and in reply to all well-meant suggestions she invariably re- phies that she “prefers to_be artistic in- stead of being stylish.” My dear young woman, did any one ever tell you that it is possible to be both? But, truly, it takes all sorts_of people to make up our littie world, and how dull it would be without a sprinkling of cranks and fad- dists! There is a scrap of news just from New York which will make us all pause and consider and it is this. There is a de- cided movement to supplant the shirt waist and blouse by a pique vest bodice, which may be made round or pointed, with a short basque in the back. With a skirt and jucket the results are excellent. Vogue says: A corn-yellow or buff pique vest bodice will be in'good taste for beige color or blue material. If the vest is _pointed it should be buttoned in front. hen the waist is round a band of cream-white lawn em- broidery 1aid flat over the bust, an entre- deux or insertion with finished edges, having below the s%unu a perpendicular band tapering into the girdle, which looks best, by the wni in black or white satin ribbon. A buckle or two large buttons for finish. A pi%ue fitted neckband, quite high, is attached to the vest bodice and rolling over is a satin collar in two parts to match the belt, either or white satin. Nothing could be simpler or smarter than this gown. Its style may be made to conform through change of ma- terial, color and.trimming to a desirable toilette for a woman of mature years, either in black or colored silks, plum " coior mobhair or foulards in mixed colors. During the past week several good dresses were noted at Del Monte. One of black mohair, made with a plaip skirt, had an Eton jacket with deep collar of revers of embroidered grass linen, of which the blouse was alco composed; deep cuffs matched the revers. A black satin ribbon encircled a pretty waist and ended in a well-tied bow. % A gray serge dress, with collars, cuffs and waistcoat of cadet blue cloth, was well made. The coat was rather long; a belt crossed the back and then vanished. A stylish English walking hat of dark blue, with two gurk blue quills, was worn. A tourist appeared in a tailor suit of a new weave of cloth, dark blue in color, relieved only with a thread-like braid of gold, six rows of which were in the collar, and the little waistcoat was very prettily embroidered with it. The smallest gold buttons imaginable gave the tinishing touch. The aress was made over deep orange-colored silk; around the bottom of the skirt were trim- mings of a silk which changed from blue to orange. Such a simple frock, but one that cost just $150. Indeed we have to pay well for style and finish. At last thereisa marked tendency to do away with the odd waist for street and traveling wear, although very numerous are the fancy ones worn at home and in the evening. ‘A chestnut-haired girl last evening was a picture good to look at in a bodice of pale-gray silk, which was crossed with the gayest of plaid stripes in green, red, blue and yellow; her skirt was of the same shade of gray as the ground of the waist. A soft collar of crimson velvet finished the neck, and the elbow sleeves had a small roll of velvet around them. Easter is coming, so I may remark for the benefit of those who intend to purchase new dancing or full-dress slippers that the insteps are to be trimmed ‘with rather small bows, prettily beaded. In patent leataer the Biucher tie has a wide ribbon bow. Oxhide is being used for house shoes and _they are lined with curled lamb’s wool. In Paris veils of rose pink with peach dots are to be seen and also dotted colored net veiling in brown, yellow and blue. White veils of all sorts and kinds are in demand, and all Paris has become en- thusiastic over the bif hats trimmed with white and colored tulle. Alas, we shall only be able to wear such hats out of San Francisco unless we can afford fresh tulle every time we encounter a fog on a_cloud of dust, so for those who remain in the City much during our windy season I ai- ways recommend smart, chic, compact hats, which cannot act as dust traps, and eschew feathers. Those who attended the first openings of the most fashionable mil- liners were, as the boys say, *‘in Juck,” for an unusually excellent collection of hats were in view. I saw sufficient to be able to say that the hats selected showed on the whole good taste, all styles having been consulted, for one dream of a chapeau worthy of Virot was gay with exquisite flowers, and choux of tulle nestled here and there. Its next door neighbor was a quaint Quakerish hat in_an entirely new weave of straw, and on it were flowers of the softest mauvre shades; the osprey gave the necessary tone of color, being black. And speaking of subdued shades reminds me that it is conceded this season is to be a Quakerish one, as numerous are to be the gowns in %raya, tansand browns. To return to my subject, I have observed that bonnets will be very broad round the face, for we are to wear our hair a la Pom- padour, and wreaths of roses minus their foliage are among the novelties, and violets are seen as much as ever by themselves, nestling among their cool green leaves, an also combined wiih roses. The fancy straws are very numerous, and are woven or run_ with gay-colored ribbous or chenille, and be su irls, to select your hats first, then your gowns that are to go with them, as they are really the first consideration, and if you can only affora to spend $18 or $25 in headgear, se- cure one good hat, instead of two or three nondescript affairs. There has been an idea out here thatin New York hatscan be had much more reasonably than out here. This is positively absurd, for a sim- ple stylish hat of brown straw, with two bows of soft brown satintibbon and a good cock’s feather in shaded browns and blacks, is considered very reasonable in New York for $16, and of course this hat is suitable for unceremonious oceasions only. More dressy ones cost from $26 upward. This I quickly discovered when last in New York, for on pricing a simple black chip hat with a large bow of black satin and a little good lace, I was promptly in- formed by the milliner, who, by the way, was not quite one of the swellest in that city, that she could let me have it for $24, and absolutely could not even trim me a plain white sailor with a blue ribbon and two quills for less than $16, so since then I have fully belicved the Eastern woman who deciared that she cculd purchase im- PRV PPRRPPPPPPRP VR P PP RR R PR NEW TO-DAY.

Let none of us deal too lighily with it, but seek to find one that becomes the wearer and aads a crowning glory to her stylish new costume.” I, however, only differ on one point. I believe in first securing the hat. _All the new millinery shows many com- binations of black and white and black with ecru. Black straws trimmed with scarfs of black and white tulle are in great vogue. The newest toque is called the mob-cap toque, and it is to be seen made of black glace silk, lined with green satin and trimmed with ostrich tips. Hereto- tore glace silk has not been used in_this way. A great feature in the latest millin- ery is horse-hair lace, ornamented with pailettes, which has to be woven on the same pillowas torchon. As aresult horse- hair will command a larger price than usual, as it is in great demand. Veils from eighteen to twelve inches wide are neces- sary for the large hats,and again the black nets with white spots will be worn. A correspondent says ecru muslin is mineled even with black lace, and the most charm- ing capes to shoulders have been prepared in this fabric—especially in black and ecru, with cord to emphasize the pattern. Hatpins are considered very choice when they are jeweled or enameled, but to be quite the thing they must now represent buttercups, daisies or some spring posy, but must be very small in size and perfect in coloring. Speaking of bonnet and hat pins reminds me that I often shudder when I see mothers holding their babies in their arms with the end of along pin sticking out from their hats, which 1s fre- quently within quarter of aninch of baby’s eye. Really they should be more careful. It is a matter of much wonderment to me that half a dozen children do not daily have their eyes put out. At the present moment a small round biscuit sprinkled with cheese is a favorite relish with afternoon tea, -and must be served crisp and hot. All lovers of the wheel will ha1l with delight the excellent articles just published in two well-known weeklies. They are so exhaustive that there is nothing left to say on this subject, and I am pieased to note that women cyclists keep their heads better, are more alert, vigilant and resourceful among the dangers of the streets than men. Most cyclers agree on this point. MARCELIA. DR FOR MEN, As I have already noted, the ties this season are to be of fearful and wonderful colors and are, to say the least, incongru- ous. White pique ties with small figures upon them made to order and properly | measured to the neck are very satisfac- tory. I repeat, the only correct tie for evening wear is of white cambric or lawn, and must be tied by the wearer, ready-made 19 —eeeeee e bows being exceedingly bad form. Really every wel med man should under- stand this fact by this time, yet afew evenings.agoa man who is sup to know how to dress wore a cravat of ribbed white silk. This seems scarcely possible, but it i§ true, and another man adorned his lawn bow with a diamond stick-pin. Gray-haired men look unusually well in gray tweeds if they have a good color, and a blue or red tie may be worn effectively with such suits. < Braid is never now seen disfiguring even- ing trousers. Many ordersare being given for §olf trousers, which should be-mode- rately loose about the knee, u{ usuall about forty inches. When there is no clu uniform the sack coat is used in America with golf suits, but in England a Norfolk jacket is preferred, and will probably be soon adopted here. Vogue says: Overcoats have fly fronts. As yet the fly front ina morning or cut- away is a novelty. Theorthodox teaching is that fly fronts can only be placed in straight coats. On waistcoats they have men. Holland, brown leather and corduroy waistcoats will be worn all summer. Although the Prince of Wales has always been extremely fond of shooting and con- stantly indulges in this sport he has never had an accident, and this is saia to be owing to the fact that he uses only his own guns and has his own loaders with him on most occasions. . .

LOST OPAL STRANGELY FOUND. A Valued Gem fhat Was Returned to Its Owner. A wealthy broker of West Philadelphia had a rather singular experience the other day. He and his family have had in their possession for a number of years some very handsome opals, but the superstition which was formerly entertained concern- ing the stone’s beinz unlucky prevented him from making use of the gems. Last year he fook a trip to Europe. While in London he met at the house of a mutual friend a dealer in precious stones, who had just come from Gracias a Dios, in Hon- uras, and had brought back some fine ems. Instead of putting any faith in the popu- not been seen here among well-dressed | lar superstition this gentleman believed in the opal very thoroughly and attributed to its virtues which no other gem pos- sessed. Among the things whica he said about it was that the opal was attached to its owner by invisible cords, and thatit was impossible to lose it, though it might be mislaid. The Philadelphia broker on his return to Philadelphia chose the finest opal in his collection and bad it set ina ring, surrounded by small diamonds, and at Christmas presented it to his wife. It was truly a beauty, and she wore it with conscious pride. . Oue day, on returning from a day's out- ing, she received quite a shock—the opal was gone. Search proved vain. No trace of the stone could she aiscover. Not only on account of its value. but because she knew how highly her husband prized the stone, she hated to inform him of her loss. At last she felt obliged to do so, when, greatly to her astonishment, he drew from his vest pocket a tiny package, and pre- sented it to her. Upon opening it what was her delight when sue recognized her lost opal. More astounding still, her husbangd af- firmed that while he was walking down Chestnut street a day or two before he felt something under the sole of his shoe which proved to be the opal which he had last seen shimmering upon his wife’s finger. There was no' doubt about it being the lost one, for the jeweler who ha set it recognized it also.--Philadelphia Times. ———— 0dd Names M The following couples are reported to have been proclaimed in matrimony a few years ago in Scotland: Thomas Black and Mary White, Peter Day and Ellen Knight, Solomon Bank and Catherine Vale, James Hill and Susan Dale, Isaac Slater and Julia Thatcher, John Baker and Mary Butcher, Sleghen Head and Nancy Heart, William Stately and Jessy Smart, Joseph Reed and Julia Hay, Thomas Spring and Mary May, Joseph Brown and Kittie Green, John Robbins and Jennie Wren, William Castle and Nancy Hall, Peter Chatter and Fanny Call, Joseph Man and Eliza Child, James Merry and Lucy Wild, Thomas Bruin and Mary Bear, James Fox and Catherifie Hare, Andrew Clay and Lucy Stone, Michael Blood and Lizzie Bone, John Cioak and Julia Hood, Edward Cole and Nancy Wood, James Broom and Helen Biren, Charles Chapel and Susan Church. —Spare Moments. e Two Sayings From Cork.
