THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1897. — | | | The newest style of hairdressing. The effect is obtained by using a round Pompadour | frame, which forms a complote circle. The back hair] is drawn loosely over it and pulled | through the aperture in the center, where it is iormed into puffs and an upstanding loop. 4T SEEMS to be an established fact that , {7 braiding is to be very considerably | f empioyed, buv the braiding will be very different in character from | that seen so much a year ago, for some of | the most beautiful examples from Paris | have open-work flowers in crochet let into the material in the midst of the braiding, and especially in vogue are black figares on the cloth and canvas dresses, just com- | pieted as models for the coming season. | The ungraceful skirts composed of many nseless yards of stuff are vanishing, and stiffened gores are things of the past deed, it has been a sore trial this wearing of skirts that were certainly fashionable, but sadlv uncomfortable and the cause of many a headache. To return to the braiding in tailor | gowns, Mrs. William Whitney has just received one from her tailor. It is of a | clear ieaf green cloth, with a vest of real | turquoise blue satin. The green is largely | toned down with shadows of gray among | the folds, and then the inevitable braiding comes In to further dignify; but the braid- | ing goes exclusively on the front panel of the skirt, taking the form of a frameworc of a rococo panel, or mirror, that cer- tainly commends itself to the eye. This is seen on many a new skirt, but it | 10 panel or large figure effect is adopted, | what is designed as a rose-and-dart design embellishes ihe bottom of the petticoat. It is noteworthy that not one in fifty | skirts goes out innocent of any hem deco- | rations, and that there are two new and | admirable braids—one a broad, satin- finished band, whick, when applied, looks | like a wide satin piping, and another, | rough, balf-silk, half-wool weave known as porcupine soutache, | Tailors are making a great exertion to | fmpart to their gowns such an sir of style that they may be in favor for many occa- | sions, and their success has certainly been | satisfactory, for ata Waldorf musicale Mrs. Jack Astor's tailor pown excited no little admiration. - It was of a bluish purple hue. On the front of coat and skirt and lower balves of sleeves of the smooth-finished spring weight of camels’ hair a large Per- sian figure is cntoutand patched with cream wool twill. Where the edges of cloth meet each other fine black silk braiding is done' in loopings, and then the twill's face is well covered with orna- | mentation in yet finer and more intricate braiding. Where the most delicate tendrils of the vine-like figures run off, black silk em- broidery is set in, and under the first collar of violet camel’s hair a second of twill | folds out over the bust, its points and edges graced with braiding. At least three dickeys and neckbands accompanied this suit—one of white satin, sparkling with jet beading, another of violet velvet, decorated with a double row of close-set, small, cut-steel buckies, and a third of black satin. Alter perusing such a description we can understand the prices asked and rapidly obtained East for such gowns, as assuredly they are well worth from $100 | to $200. | Novel and Gnicicreations. Some delightful models are being sent out this month from London and Paris, as smart women have finished with their costumes made during the first part of the winter and are demanding novel and chic creations to wear to the varied enter- tainments that are being arranged for the gavest part of the season, but visiting dresses are also receiving their serious consideration. One such conception would please most of us, as purple moire velours enters largely in its construction, the skirt being perfectly plain and entirely composed of this fabric. The narrow and continuous vest is in biack satin piped with cream color, and the front of black mousseline de soie is over purple, the same shade of which lines the entire dress. A iull ruche of black chiffon will be worn with this toilette, which is edged with tea- colored Valenciennes lace. The togue is composed of pinkish mauve roses, tea- colored lace and a natural colored bird of Paradise feather. A new weave of cashmere, commercialiy known as “cashmerecloth,”” is much liked in Paris, 50 a young matron here has had & very successful frock evolved from a £oft tan shade, embroidered quite beauti- fully in a black and light tan brad. A color. It should be remarked that the skirt is but four yards wide and fits likea | glove around the hips. More elaborate is a costume, ordered by | a bride, of shot silk of an artistic green shade. Quite a quantity of black ribbon | velvet trims it; indeed, ribbon velvet | figures on many imported costumes, but | is used comparatively little here. Cream- | white guipure lace faces the jaunty short bodice and the sleeves, and a very deep corselet of black satin gracefally drapes | the waist. The very small vest is of sheer chiffon over green. | A novel little cravat effect of weasel's | fur is pretty, and the high, soft collaris | adorned with a narrow band of the fur| and two points of the guipure. The hat | is of an unusual shape, with u square ap- | pearance in front, and is made of velvet | of a rich brown shade, a green bird of | paradise and a little guipure lace. | A picture rare was a wee bit of 8 matron the other day at an informal little tes. Her gown of pale gray cloth was exquis- | itely embroidered with silver and a shade of amethyst silk, now so fashionable. The entire costume was fashioned over this silk. The jacket-like fronts of the bodie revealed a waistcoat of pleated tulle, with acravat in bow form also made of the tulle. This reminds me, girls, to tell vou that ail the smart girls in New York are wearing cravats of pale chiffon tuile. Try one. They are wonderfully becoming. At intervals in the embroidery were in- troduced amethysts with delightful effect, and her gray velvet chapeau, faced with amethyst velvet, had one of the new ser- pent buckles at one side, in which was set an exceptionally fine amethyst. FEven her gloves were stitched with this, to her, most becoming color. MARCELLA. Fresh From Paris. ® From Paris have just been sent out some cloth dresses with heavy open silk em- broidery. They came each in a separate box, and are completed with boleros formed by the insertions setin the cloth. These most desirable novelties are made with broad baunds of satin, and shouid bave little vests of real lace. Only firs class dressmakers can handle them with s hope of doing justice to the fabrics. Very smart 1s a costume worn by & well- known social leader and donned occa- sionally by her when calling. It is of the finest and most beautiful quality of dark brown face cloth. The skirt is edged with aable and lined with a goiden green shot tafleta. The chic rever is also made of this silk, covered with some old Irish lace and edged with sable. The waist- band and neckband are of black satin, the collar being completed with a roll of for. The guaint toque of brown velvet of a dark shade has three handsome up- standing ostrich tips at the left side, held in place with an odd ornament of Indian workmanship. It looks like a loose knot and is studded with emeralds. The crown 1s embroidered to carry out the ides of the ornsment and is wrought in dull zold and small emeralds. MARCELLA. Black Skirts and Light Waists. In Paris skirts of the finest black cloth are being exiensively worn with light- colored waists, made severely plain of the beavy new weave of cashmere (drap d’ete) or of vigogne or cashmere. Pale | but I prefer those composed of tiny lace- | round. | and chiffon, as it is & hundred times more | chiffon, with lace of the most exquisite | | pleated on the hips and trimmed at the |av | velvetis used, and from the top of these | with straps of rose-pink velvet, fastened grays, pinks, Delft blues, reds, greens and petunias are fashionable colors. In front they fasten with simple pearl, gold or silver buttons, like a shirt waist, and the fronts are made with from four to five vleats. Generally they are belted with the new monkey-skin belts, which are to be had in all the newest shades, mounted with gold or old silver buckles, richly en- crusted with turquoise and garnet. The swellest of belts are of gold, enriched with Russian enamel. The sleeves are very moderate in size and have cloth wausi bands that button, The collar is turn down or stand up, ac- cording to the wearer's fancy, and very frequently a little lace is used at the throat. Such waists are sometimes lined with Florence silk. White serge and grain-yellow are dressy and becoming shades much liked. Bodices of black or colored velvets made in the same Way are already enjoying a great vogue. Many are gathered at the waist or tucked and open on the side &sy little vest gives the necessary touch of without showing any fastening, instead of being pleated. They are most becom- g when of velvet to slight figures, cash- mere suiting those best who are plump. ARCELLA. Net Dresses. These are daily increasing in favor for evening wear. Some have simple skirts, accordion pleated, with bodices gatherea into the waist beneath a handsome sash. Sometimes the sleeves have short puffs, edged frills. In some cases the sleeves wrinkie down to the waist. Usually the Cecolletage is most becoming when cut A graceful spray of flowers at one side gives a_finishing touch to a gown | which has enablea many a debutante to look lovely during the pasi month, mdg we may rejoice over the fact that net is | supplanting in favor mousseline de soie desirable. Of course, all such gowns have | a silk or satin foundation. Very pretty is | such a irock t home from a leading dressmaker’s. The skirt is gathered from waist to hem, over a silken slip, with flounces of lace put on at intervalsin a round shape dipping toward the front, and rather high in the back. This style is much in evidence in New York, and is extremely charming, when | carried out in figured net with very fine | real lace. Also I have just heard of the | same idea carried out under the most | expensive circumstances in the finest of | quality inserted transparently, keeping | he same form—low in the front and high | in the back. Greatly admired also, are some net dresses, which have lace insertions in the hem. Grenadine is being used in the same way for young women and the debutantes, ss it is now obtainable in such | attractive evening shades, Beautiful Ball Dress. This may be said (0 be a combination of | the magnificent and the simple, being made of a brocade of pink shot with yel- low, patterned with a ribbon design, fol- lowed by & lace effect. The skirt is bem with two rows of‘fine lace, headed by a band of guipure, just fastened back on to | the second pleat with loops of rose-pink | velvet ribbon, buttoned with diamonds. The bodice shows a sort of double bolero, | the one made of the rose-pink velvet elab- orately worked in tinsel of many hues, ! and the other of the brocade pleated to form a rever. At the back is a pomnted | belt of the embroid-red velvet, in the front st of the softest cream-colored lace; then again on the sleeves the embroidered emerge two puffs of the brocade. The decolletage is cut to show the shoulders, with aiamonds, the bodice se- curely. Describing the most beautiiul gown worn by a debutante at the great New | York ball Vogue says: Among the| younger seta white mousseline de soie, | flounced on the bottom with silver thread edge embroidery, was deliciously fresh | and rming. Round skirt- dancing length, with two or three separate gauze skirts peneath, showing the least glimmer of the white satin shp. The bodica modet | was particularly new.

Tight mousquetaire mousseline sleeves reached the elbow and over the top of them were oval puffs bordered very much as a nurse’s cap with a fine plisse, which gave a charmingly simple finish to the shoulders and was quaint besides. With & string of pearls round the neck, the hair beautifully dressed, nothing so thoroughly raffinee in the way of a debutante’s ball- dress could be devised. MARCELLA. Latest Evening Gowns. A heliotrope brocade, much admired at a recent reception, has orchids in the bodice, as well as some gold and pearl rassementerie. used for the shortelbow sleeves, the frill that extends down the lcit side of the skirt. The effect produced by it is Known as the crossing skirt, because it is presumed to give tfe idea that the skirt crosses over; the bows of plain satin rib- bon, which adorn plentifully the entire gown, are pretty. Felix lately completed three models, the descriptions of which I quote, hoping they may be duly appreciated ; but to con- fess the truth in the matter, I prefer the designs of our well-known dress- makers. The first is spoken of as having a low-pointed bodice and slightly trained skirt in moss-green moire velve large velvet bow on the point at the back; charming and artistic Louis XV corsage | drapery with loop epaulettes, harmoni: ing with the panel robings in cream satin, | edged with rare guipure and all aglow with radiant roses, hand-painted in variegated hues amiast soit lace ap- pligues; oblong diamond buckles. In the coiffure shines a rising-sun ornament in | gems and diamonds resting against a bow of shell-pink satin ribbon. | The second is a robe of black net spangled | with either steel, silver or gold and clev- | erly wrapped on the right side in the loose empire style over a princess gown in black satin. Short bolero in keeping, edged | with sequin lace and cut to meet on either | side the opposite pointsof the fan-shaped | epaulettes in fluted wire net. Tufts and garlands of pink leafdess roses cover the short slecves and outline the square open- ing of the bodice. pink moire silk veiled with spangled net with a light touch of color. A few de- tached blossoms are besides strewn on | pieated chiffon and guipure lace, which the hanging drapery. Berthe of finely | was covered with aundreds of sparkling pleated net. The last mentioned has a low, close-fit- ting bodice and oval trained skirt, mount- ed with three pleatings at the back in dentelle point de Paris, elaborately trimmed with graduated stripes of large velvet leaves, brightenea up with a splen- did gold and multi-color jet embroidery. bands of foliage define the pointed waist Short sleeves in black velvet, gathered into a double puff. | In the coiffure at the back towers a single white ostrich feather, curling toward th, a gem buckle in the center of a windmill bow composed of 100ps 1n shot-yellow rib- bon.

Round the foot of the skirt is & ruching of mousseline de soie. The satin bodice nas a buttertly front of white mousseline de sote, and the silver and | pearl galon is quite decorative.

In front the corsage is embroidered with bands of steel and sil- ver paillettes. The plain skirt is made according to the style now much in vogue in Paris; that is to say, it had a gathering | of a thigk cord about the hips, and this throws the fullness in the most graceful way just where it is needed. A yellow satin made in this City and much admired has the entire front of its bodice beautified with embroidery and | falls of soft old lace.

It hasa broad wsistband of white satii t the neck are bouillermes of gray and white satin, and crossway folds of the same form the bodice. The skirtshows again folds of the satin. The latest bodices are not fashioned ac- cording to the liking of the dressmakers, for they are so complicated that tney rep- resent an immense amount of labor; as one authority says of a certaln model, each side of the front is different, and each side of the back. One model bodice California that Him's mte.s! rem!rk: on this important and interesting subject are well worth reading, so I quote the fotlow- lines: mfi’l‘be golt suit with the cap to match is no longer in good form. The ready-made affairs have driven the combination out. The new knickers are made of S_cotch worsteds in broad prominent plaid et fects. The hose should be of the same predominating tone as the knickers. “The Scotch knitters are making hose now of a lightweight worsted. The legs are ot a plain color, or of a warm heather mixture. The tops have lozenge panels in very vivid colors. The feet, by a clever process, are woven to tie worsted leg but they are not made of worsted, but of iisle or cotton. “This gives that lightness of texture which insures foot comfort. Very few men could bear the warm, itchy worsted feet, and footless hose were very uncom- fortable and shifty.

For the Men. No first-class Eastern tailor would now think of putting a breast pocket in a coat, and I sm thankiul for its disappearance, as it totally ruined a good garment, and certainly it was not necessary to loudly arnounce the fact that one owned a hand- | kerchiel, as such articles are scarcely ever used in pubiic nowadays. The useless little tabs on the fronts of shirts have likewise vanished, as they were never of the slightest use. When in mufti the best-turned-out men turesque results when they do not permit their fancies run riot. Golf suits are owned by most Eastern society men, and the Scotch goods em- the only correct fabrics. In coloring they are more than satisfactory, and the warm bold rea plaids, are liked by some.

Game T was on the hal‘-past ‘6 evening boat to Oakland that it happened. ¢ Now, this particular boat carries a very gloomy and misanthropic load of hu- manity. Indeed, not even the early mo ing boats coming this way, laden with people who have been forced to rise in the chill gray dawn, carry 8o grim and unso- ciable a lot of passengers as are seen on this special trip through the dusky shad- ows of approaching night to the regions across the bay. A tew of the morning travelers are, it is true, San Franciscans who went over to see their sweethearts—it is s harrowing fact that some San Franciscans do have sweethearts on the other side of the bay— and got left. There are also among them some mis- guided beings who have ba:n lured from the peaceful and pious precincts of our City to spend their nights in unboly rey- elry amid the glittering dens of vice and iniquity which we have been told on good authority masquerade under the innocent name of clubs in Alameda County, and bave, consequently, massive and sching heads for baggage. The majority, however, are workmen who have rested well, breakfasted com- fortably, bave appetizing lunches in their neat little baskets and are facing the pros- pect of a remunerative day’s work. There- fore, though sleepily silent, they are for the most part cheerful, hopeful, and, when occasion calls for communication among them, decently civil in look and speech and manner. Not so with the unfortunates mock- ingly known as “the happy sixers.” They are mostly business men who have been detained at the office over time by business or lack of business; clerks who have been ‘‘put upon’ in the matter of extra work; women who have been so absorbed in the pursuit of “bargains’ that they have paid no heed to the flight of time until the store doors have been gently but firmly closed behind them and persons who have ccomplished tue unsatisfactory feat of *'just missing” the 6 o'clock boat. This being the case everybody is more or less discouraged, and nearly every one is cross—decidedly so—for they are all the mad rush to be first on board is over the passengers gravitate to the front enq of the saloon and, sitting there in mor, and stony silence, either feign uty, ignorance of the existence of their felioy. sufferers or stare at each other sup. ciliously with coldly critical and disa; proving eyes, or openly express by look and manner their hatred of their envirop. ment and their disgust at the circum. stances which placed them therein.

It was also evident that she wag one of those happy individuals who fee| that between them and the ordinary human being there is little in common, There was an air of [rosty superiority about her which was actually chilling and when she took possession of the coy. ner seat by the door and sat there, | personification of statesque ¢ there were many who forgot their per. sonal sorrows for the moment as th, gazed admiringly at the tip of nose, and wondered Why so loily young woman did not have her o vate conveyance across the bay ins going over in the same boat with com people.
