The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, July 25, 1897, Page 28

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 25 1897. Everything is crepe de chine—that is, everything in which that material can be utilized. The newest patterns are re- sponsible for this, and the one which I think is the best isa pattern which noth- ing else can describe more clearly than the word *“lightning.” There are two or three colors of this pattern. One 1s on a white surface, with waved lines of two shades of green and black. Another charming combination of color {s in two shades of red, with black lines on a white ground. On a white ground, again, there are two or three mauves alternating with a black design. A pattern crepe de chine is very suc- cessfully used, for the sake of alittle va- riety, in place of foulard. It makes s charming garden party frock, forinstance, trimmed with a vest of soft white lisse or lace insertions of either white or black. In all the yearsthatI have known any- thing about fashions 1 bave never seen crepe de chine approach anything like its present popularity. But what is more, it seems to be anything but a fleeting fashion. There is a gauze with a new title to be seen. It is called *‘Gaze Diabolique.” It has a coarse canvas ground with a open work pattern in black and white upon it. This same pattern is charming in either blue, red or green. L notice thai the gauzes mostly have a canvas foundation with a broken design running over their surface. A pretty blue with a gresn de- sign is effective; black and white exer- cises its perennial charm, and there are .several plaid gauzes of the gayest colors, with the plaid used as a backgroand and a design of silk intruding its influence over this in two or three colors. The very handsomest gown of crepe de chine which I have seen thus far this season was of cream color over pale blush pink silk. The bodice had rows of real Valenclennes insertion let in on each side of the front, with a puffing of silk muslin between. The sleeves were slightly fulled on the seam, and at the top was a small bouffant with an epaulette of pink silk, almost hidden with a Louis XVI knot made of the Valenciennes insertion. On each side of the skirt at the top wasa milar but much larger knot, made of wider inaertion, the ends falling toward the back of the skirt, the crepe of the skirt cat away under these arrangements to show the pale pink through. There are some lovely new bracades, | perhaps the best being those with a sug- | gestion of a lace pattern outlined with dark satin on a pale ground. There is one | of these with a pale red and white shaded ground, a pattern in dark red and white | upon it; another in mauve and pearl color being equally attractive. Then there is a range of colors showing roses in pale tints with broad stems., Very pleasing brocades show carnations ail of one color on a ground to match. This pattern is at its happiest on silver gray, and on silver gray, too, there is a capital design in small lilies. A design of Guelder roses is delightful again on a pale green ground, with a pat- tern in white. This would becharming in a tea gown, with a lace coliar and long lace ends,a soit crepe de chine vest and sleeves in white, the high Meaici collar being also of iace. A conventional pattern in white on a ground of satin looks par- ticularly well in the turquoise tone, and a very lovely striped brocade shows a chintz- like design, alternating with black and white stripes. Let me say a word about foulard, for this material continues popular, blue and white being particularly successful in con- ventional patterns. A very pretty foulard that I especially noticed was of pale cafe au lait with a white pattern all over it. The bodice has a white plastron in front of silk muslin going across in fine pleats, and white revers edged with guipure insertion of a yellowish tint, outiined with the nar- rowest brown velver. The sleeves were plain with a row of the guipure and velvet zoing down the whole length, The skirt had a wide flounce headed with the same guipure and velvet, ana was worn over a deep rose-colored silk underskirt. The hat was exquisite, of soft cream manilla straw with black ostrich feathers, tome standing up a little, some gracefully shading the side. On the left the straw was siightly turned up with a cluster of anemones suaded from palest pink to deep red 2na having black centers. Wonderiully pretty is 8 new material, having somewhat the appearance of grass lawn, but of fine texture with a silken pattern running all over it, called ‘Linon Broche.” It is very wide, forty inches, and with a foundation of natural hotland tint, a pattern of bright green or a pattern of white is equally successful. Another variety of the same kind has stripes of shaded silk of two-inch intervals. This is This charming mauve muslin gown has the lengthened skirt which is, no doubt, to appear this coming season, also the tunic or over skirt. The silk mantilla is the latest development of the summer costume ideas, while the lace with which the entire toile tte is decorated is remarkeble for a perfectly new treatment, in which straw embroidery appears on the surface of the lace. The collar and waistband are of pink velvet. practically merely a finer quality of grass lawn with the addairtion of the silk patterns or stripes, and is intended to be used for the same general purpose. An absolutely new idea this season is the use of grass lawn for cloaks, both large and small. Of course a lining of silk is essential, and when carefully chosen, the effect is excellent. These look particularly well over light shot silk, and the material is often supplemented by preity em- broidery and kiltings of silk and grass lawn. The capes are either only sufficiently long to reach the elbow, or much longer, almost touching the knee. I noticed one in particular which was quite short over THE NEW SUMMER COIFFURE. You will have to get on both sides of a girl to know her now and so you will not fail to recognize her when next you meet. One side of her head, if she be up to date, will be curls and the cther side waved. Thus does the summer girl build her coiffure by halves, the arms, fitted to the fieure at the back and trippmed with pretty kiltings which ran up the front, around the neck, and outlined the wrap from the shouiders to the waist. Scarlet linings to fawn cloth seem to find favor, and there are a larger range of cloaks which envelop the figure. One of these was made in petunia brocade, with cape sleeves and a movable hood. There are also very becoming capes made as a bolero with full sleeves, very elaborately trimmed with jet. I noted oneespecially pretty cap: made with pvramids of kilted flounces all round, divided by handsome jet trimmings. It was quite simple but very charming. Mme. Rejane Costumes. A reception dress worn by this chic Frenchwoman lately merited the admira- tion it received. It is composed of the softest, most exquisite quality of crepe de chine and vyelvet. From the hem ex- tends taperingly toward the waist the Joveliest embroidery done in silver and crystal beads. The shade of the crepe is a rcse purple and the velvet a rich cream, in which is likewise seen some of the embroidery.. The bodice is well worthy of your serious consideration, being of the crepe com- pletely covered with fine lace. The waist- band is of rich satin ribbon, and a mere spray of roses extending over the right shoulder answers for a sleeve; a fall of lace forms the other. At the back of the low-cut bodice are three tiny straps of black velvet buttoned with diamonds, and from them appear to emerge the folds of the train, . Madame Rejane likewise is most pictur- esque when arrayed in a creation of mauve orchid velvet, that clings closely 0 her slender figure. The entire gown is beautified with silver carnations. The front of the bodice is composed of cream lace pouched over white satin. At the back of the waistis a knot of black satin; a band of it also encircles the throat. With this gown was worn a truly elegant cloak of & plum-lined cloth. On it great snakes done in cut jet are coiled. The lining is of thie choicest chinchilla. A Crepe Confection ‘Worn here by one of fashion’s votaries is of white crepe de chine. On it are em- broidered ihe most natural pink rosebuds imaginaole. They are scattered all over the fabric. Round the bottom of the skirt is a deep-knotted silk fringe. The frock is built over white silk, the skirt hanging perfectly free from the lining. The low-cut bodice is square in the neck and has a vest of lace over rose silk. The sleeves look like bouquets of roses. Roses, with their foliage, encircle the neck. The Latest Parisian News Dwells on the charms of white muslins made with clouds of lace about the bod- ices, of white flowered mousselines de sole over straw-colored siiks and of white Greek tulle over white or pale-hued satin. In the same category are mentioned the smart tailor-made piques. Numerous are the muslins seen with in- numerable flounces, but almost as many have narrow pleatings in the front of the skirt that widen out considerably at the center of the back, for they are very poo- ular. White alpaca, adorned with bands of guipure and several rows of the narrow black velvet at the bottom of the skirt, areenjoving a considerable vogue. Similar bands are likewise inserted at the hips. The bodices are formed of guipure extend- ing 1n tabs below the waist. These dresses are invariably lined with a soft-finished silk. At the recent Fete des Fleurs in Paris those gowned entirely in white received the most compliments, and almost all the hats were composed of white tulle with long, sweeping white ostrich plumes; others were of Italian straw, elaborately trimmed with flowers. On the same occasion were seen some quaint, gauzed silk pelerines, in delicate tints, made with rows of cording. They are really pretty and much admired when worn over muslin gowns. At the throat of every one was a tulle lace-edged cravat. The Dressing of the Hair. One of the latest styles for arranging the hair to suit an oval face consists of a waved coiffure with a few lighs, fluffy curls on the forehead. In the back the waved hair iscurled loosely, and at the left side of the head is an upstanding bow and a coquettish rosette of silver-srangled tuile, a twist of which encircles the coil, Tulle of any color may be used. A stylish belle wore with good effect lately one of black tulle spangled with gold, which em- phasized the beauty of her flaxen hair. A round face usually should have no curls on the forebead, and the wa: at the front and sices should be small and lie closely to the head. The back hair can be most Socomin;ly arranged in three poufs on the crown of the head. A tortoise-shell round comb is pretty when it appears to support the poufs. A noted hairdresser used in arranging one matron’s locks in this way a tiny wreath of ti:e smallest possible roses, that surrounded the poufs, and at the left side arose a sprightly aigrette of the roses. I should add that the middle pouf rises very considerably above the others. For those who have not an abundant supply of hair may be had a novel roulette chignon, which has an ingenious self-closing foundation, that obviates the necessity for hairpins, and the ‘clip- fast”’ reversible fringe must be excellent, as it is so made that the wearer can re- verse its position, bringing the back part over the forehead and the front curls to the back, when the latter becomes straighi- ened by heat ordamp. Oneside of the fringe is always ready for use, while an- otheradvantage of thisclever arrangement isthat the back half of the fringe forms an excellent foundation for the wearer’s own hair when dressed a la pompadour and raised in front. A novel parted toupee has one side ar- ranged with short curls, and the other in iong wavy hair. The foundation being transparent is comfortable, as it is ex- tremely light, and the curls and waves have a most natural appearance and are always, when made properly, composed of naturally curly hair. The Victorian bow promises to enjoy popular favor. It is of natural hair and is mounted on a tortoise-shell comb. This holds it in place securely, and a few soft drooping curls complete it. Chit-Chat. ‘White leather belts with oxidized silver clasps are very popular with light sum- mer frocks. Many of them are extrava- gant affairs, having, besides the clasps, handsome silver ornaments applied at in- tervals. The latest belts mentioned from abroad are said to show tortoises of tur- quoise; these are formed with links of oxidized silver. Very narrow belts of light-hued croco- dile leathers are adorned with studs of | colored enamels, but ribbons are used in | preference 10 anything else by many, for they fit so much more snugly than leather and tie so gracefully. For the moment check ribbons are being extensively pat- ronized. Flowers. The latest news from the great mil- liners states that Parma violets, which were declared out of fashion two months ago, are again enjoying a great vogue and Kreen hats are extremely stylish. Shoes and Boots Bhould always be made of the same col- orea kid, all combinations of colors being distressingly unbecoming to the foot, be- sides showing, to say the least, very bad taste on the part of the wearer. Shoe- makers frequently make experiments in combinations. For example, one has brought out a shoe composed of green morocco and tan-colored calf. Thisseems too bad to be true. I can only say be con- servative and you will avoid many errors, even if not blessed with good taste. For golf shoes are being used blacking calf leather—the real Russian, or what is known as the diamond hide, which will not draw the feet. Veils made of twisted black and white threads and having dots that shade from black to gray, from gray to white, are very becoming. Some, however, rub off on the face even when of the best quality, pre- sumably. [ [ | | | Since the Klondyke revelation burst on the world two weeks ago, California’s great and booming gold ficld has been overlooked like a white chip by the popular eye. But the de- velopment of the irdusiry in California goes right along hoisting upward its annual pro- duction of over $17,000.000 at a speed that will undoubtedly raise it above $20,000,000 in 1897. Single counties in California turn out far more gold than all the Klondyke Val- ley will be apt to yield this year, for we have counties producing $3,000,000, $4,000,000 and $6,000,000. California’s total production of $1,250:- 000,000, its present annusl production, which all Alaska will probably never ap- proach, and the boom and prospects of the industry here should not be lostsight of by the judicious. Alaska may dsvelop wonderful riches in its interior, as it 1s likely to develop much more mineral wealth along its coast, but there is no likelihood that it will ever produce more than a fraction of California’s weelth. There are many considerations tnat should keep & level-headed mining investor or even & pros- pector in California. It will require years to develop any quArts lodes that may be discoverad in the interior, snd quartz mining in the Yukon Valliey is something that belongs to the comparatively distant future. That region 1s in the early part of the pan and rocker stage of develop- ment. In California mines are constantly being bought or bonded at low figures and being developed intc paying propositions, and hundreds of prospectors are successfuliy in- teresting capital in the development of their claims. As is 50 often said, tke surface has hard- ly been scratched in California, and while one out of a hundred of those invading the Yukon country may be lucky in striking a rich placer ciaim ninety-nine would do better to put thelr mouey, energy snd ambition into the great gold region of California. Developing and working either a quariz or a placer mine will always be vastly more costly in the interior of Alaska thanin Cali- fornia, and veins which here would be worth millions above expenses may not there pay the cost of working. The gold region of Cali- fornia north of the deserts is the kindestand most inviting one to the miners of the worid. The gold lies in wooded and watered hills, in agentleclimate and in the midst of civiliza- tion—conditions which are not equaled by any large go'd-producing region of the world. The values of our lodes are exceptionaliy perma- nent, and the cost of development 1s relatively low. There remain hundreds of mines and both undeveloped and undiscovered locations which will yleld richiy in the future. The annual increase in the California pro- dnction is apt to exceed the total output of the Yukon region for years to come. This development produces no new sensa- tion and is hardly noticed, because it is steady and constantly made known. The Klondyke discovery burst forth ali at once from the in- accessible districtin which it was bottled up. The product of Mariposa County for the past three months has been greater than the total product of last year. The Randsburg district is increasing its output at a rapid rate. A great electric power plant at Biue Lakes is just starting its dynamos to supply the mines The Seventh Whist Gongress at Put-In-Bay. The founder of the American Whist League, Eugene S. Elliott, in a littie chat we had with him in Put-in-Bay, made this statement, which we think will explain why the Ameri- can Whist League meetings have such a charm and why people gather from all quarters of the globe: “The members of the whist league do not meet for reasons of charity, but they are philanthropists; they are engaged in promot- ing & movement for the nappimess of their kind. They have not assembled as patriots, but they are engeged in fostering an organi- zation that may be of the highest service to | their country; for the time may come when America will need its best brainsand its best muscle, and all of both; and through the mental athleties which the whist league has been organized to promote the future may ex- pect a heritage of mentality which, if such a crisis comes, may be of infinite importance. The whist men know these things, but they spend no time in thinking about it; they are men of action; they are the men who run af- fairs in Americs, and who will continue to run them until brains are of no more use; but their immediate purpose is to have an outing, pep- pered with plenty of fun, and the indications are that they will not be disappointed.” BATTLE OF THE WHIST GIANTS. The opening contest of the congress was for the Brooklyn trophy between the auxiliary associations of the A. W. L. The beautiful trophy was presented by the city of Brook- Iyn, and is the most valusdle trophy played for at these meetings. It was won by the New York Association, beating the Atlantic and the New England. This trophy was first played for at Brooklyn last year and New England carried it away. THE HAMILTON TROPHY CONTEST Was the feature of the meeting. Sixteen clubs entered and each club played a match against every other club, and the two clubs having the highest number of matches to their credit entered the finals. Philadelphia end Chicago were the lucky ones. Philadel- rhia won by twelve tricks. The American Whist League trophy was won by the Toledo Whist Club, as was also the Minneapolis trophy for pairs. TRIST CLUB PRIZES. The next important contest on the pro- gramme was for the prizes presented by the Trist Duplicate Whist Club of this City. Those beautiful prizes were four gola and silver whist card sets,on the top of each an out- spread whist hand, an exact reproduction of the cards in coiored enamel inside of each was deticately engraved: “First progressive match for fours, seventh American whist congress. Presented by the Trist Duplicate Whist Club.” % Thirty-one clubs were represented in this contest, each with & team of four, and each ciub played a match against every other club and it resulted in a victory for the Buffalo Whist Club, winning 20}4 matches. Eight other minor contests took place, all of them short and snappy, and gave great satisfaction. NEW METHOD OF SCORING. One of the features of the congress was the introduction into the American Whist League of the Pecific Coast Whist Association’s method of scoring. At Brooklvn last year no score was announced irside of twelve hours after the completion of & match, and in one of the contests—the A. W. L.—it was over thirty- six hours betore the score was announced. The first contest that took place at Put-in- Bay was the Brooklyn trophy contest, and the official score was put on the bulletin board in exactly eleven minutes after the matchended. In the next contest, where thirty-one clnbs entered, the official score was posted in four- teen minutes after the contest ended. This was & revelation to the whist-players of the league. We have several other innovations in a whist way that we will introduce to the league when the congress is held in 8an Fran- cisco in 1899, THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. At the closing hours of the congress the elec- tion ot officers and directors resulted in the selection of the following: Henry A. Mandell of Detroit, president; E. Leroy Smith (Albany, N. Y.), vice-president; Clarence A. Henriques (New York), recoraing secretary; L. G. Parker (Toledo), corresponding secretary; Benjamin L. Richards (Rock Rarids, lowa), treasurer. B. D. Kribben of St. Louis, 8 St John Me- Cutchen of New Jersey, Robert H. Weems of oklyn, Dr. Joseph T. Neff of Philadelphis, Mr. Hudson of Buffalo and P.J. Tormey of San Francisco were chosen directors. THE ABSENT ONES. At the seventh congress. just held at Put-in- Bay, it was generally regretted that a few familiar faces were absent. There was one in particular, whose pleasant face and smiling countenance was looked for in vain. It was that of Miss Kate Wheelock, the daughter of the league, and known throughout the world as the Whist Queen. This coneress is the first one that Miss Wheelock has missed since the league adopted her as their dasughter. Many expressed their deep regret and sorrow that she could not be there, there was none to flil the vacancy. The little queen sailed on the Furnessia, June 19, to summer in the blue hills of tar away Scotland, and although re- gretting her inability to be presentsat this congress, she felt the necessity of the much needed rest and vacation *which she was obliged to take in order to be able to continue her good work in the whist world. ECHOES FROM THE CONGRESS. The next congress will be held near Boston, at one of the seaside resorts. Tracy Barnes, whist editor of the Toledo Blade, was one o the busiest men at the Put-in-Bay Congress. He never slept. Walter H. Barney, the retiring president of the league, with Mrs. Clarence Brown of To- ledo, won the progressive straight whist match. Mrs. D. W. Guptill of the Trist Duplicate ‘Whist Club was in attendance at Put-in-Bay and came out second best in one of the con- tests. . The midwinter meeting of the American Whist League will be held at Buffalo the last of January next. About 100 iadies were in attendance at the whist congress. Every opportunity was given them to play the game to their hearts’ content. A very amusing incident occurred in one of the contests. A card was found on the floor, and the referee calied out to all the piayers to count their cards, as some one had dropped one. No response, The referee stated it would save s revoke by discovering it at once. No response. After the deal was over one player had but twelve cards. A revoke was established and the penalty taken, and, sirange to say, the party who dropped the card was deaf and could not hear the announce- ment. Omissions in the Laws Published Sunday Last. In last week’s issue a paragraph was omitted tolaw G, which should be added after the ‘words ‘‘but not thereafter.” “A player may ask his adversaries if they haye any of the suit renounced, but the ques- tion establishes the revoke if it happens that it is his partner who has renounced in error.” Law H, second line, the word “hava’ was omitted last Sunday. The sentence should read “by his right-hand adversary.” Answers Two Queries. We are asked to publish the laws of straight whist. If our correspondent wants a copy of the laws we have some in pamphlet form we will be glad to send. They can also be found in any whist book published in this country. 1f there is any question that you do not un- derstana in regard to the laws we will en- lighten you to the best of our ability.

A « new life and promise pervades the gold reg of the whole State. One of the most notable events in the re. cent history of mining development in fornia will oceur this week when the posw wheels and dynamos of the Blue Lakes power plant turn for the first time. The Blue . Water Power Company expect to set the grea; plant going on Tuesday. This big electric power enterprise will s ply mines with power and light for fifty mi. along the mother lode in Calaveras, Tuolu: and Mariposa counties, and by affordi cheaper and more convenient power stimul mining operations. The Californ Exploration Company, which has bougit or bonded fifty or more mines throughout thig region, is the first and the principal customer of the power comvany, which is under con- tract to supply several thousand horsepower to the Exploration Company in the very near future. The Exploration Company will begin using the power at once, xnd the distribution will increase and extend as fast as poles, lines and installations can be accomplished. The company has not yet aceepted contracts with others than the Exploration Company, but many other mines will be supplicd as fast ag the plant and its facilities can be developed. Poles and wires are now up for a distance of seven teen miles from Blue Lakes, and several towns, including Ban Andreas and Mokel- umne Hjll, have been wired for lighting. T plant is located at the foot of & steep incli and the water is conveyed in pipes from t reservoirs above.
