THE SAN FRANC1SCO CALL, SUNDAY, A word in the shell-pink ear of the mat- 1 inee maid. Would vou know the verv latest and | myst deiicately sentimental way of wor- shiping at your especial stage hno‘s‘ hrine? Then go tothe jeweler, that con- | ror of precious metals who is brimful of ‘ new ideas as t0 how money may be spent, end ask him 10 thow you an assortment of dainty leather cases a bit bigger than your watch and medallion shaped (unjess you would have them round) for portraits. Into this case, which may be plain or em- bellished and is rimmed with a streak of gold or silver, to be susvended abouta young throat by a delicate chain to match, you mustslip the photograph of your footlight favorite and tuck him into your beli—directly under your Leart, of course. Asoften as your infatuation changes so often can you change the dear boy’s face for one grown dearer. Buta picture case you positively must possess or count your- sell behind in the race for novelties. A charming young girl who makes her debut this month has James K. Hackett’s picture in a case, and a stately belle who blocmed in socieiy’s garaen last winter is going up and down our thoroughfares with Herbert Kelcey jammed into her girdle. The world, which I now cruelly let into the secrer, has bitherto thought that James and Herbert were mere time- pleces ticking in leather seclusion. But the pretty fad will go merrily on for all this betrayal of its secret, for the contents of the little case will be a mystery to| everybody il the wearer aces not choose to press ihe tiny spring, and she will have po end of fun in refusing to gratily the | uricsity of a jealous admirer, Only, if| ¢ wants to keep the identity of the im- prisoned mummer truly mum she really | must refrain from taking more than fif- | teen or sixteen of her dearest chums into | Ler confidence. Somebody is sure to tell. ns i eey I made a discovery this week—two of them, in fact—so I uave news for you. Let us for the moment skip winter | entirely, and precipitate curselves fora | chat into the very lap of spring, since it is with what you are going to wear when | that balmy period arrives that this news | of mine has to do. 1t is delightfully interesting to drops few months from the calendar and look nexi summer in the face—to discover what | Fashion is planning for us while we sleep | and frit the gay winter out of our reck- | oning. I am of the opinion that the im- perious dame will be exceedingly wroth with me for telling what 1 bave seen be- | | fore ahe is ready to amnounce it herself, but what mortal woman could withstand the tempiation? ‘Well, then, the newest thing under next year's sun will be crispene, declared to be | the fabric of the century by its enthusi- | astic importer, monsieur the merchant, | who knows more sbout suitings in a minute than most other men do in a life- time, Monsieur has, in fact, devoted his entire existence to proviving weaves for the women to wear. He is Fashion’s faith- ful emissary, so when he talks youand I must listen and believe. Crispene is a dress goods of such won- derful make that it requires no lining, in- terlining or stiffening whatever, whether it be employed in the building of skirt, bodice or jacket. This means an impm- tant saving of expense, labor in making and weight in all garments evolved from it, yet no sacrifice of appearances, for cris- ( yene imparts as smart and crisp an effect ‘u; stiff taffeta silk lined gown. Dur- eble, stylish and dsome, and, strange to say, inexpensive as well, crispene is going to supersede every other fabric for cutdgor wear, just as soon as it is placed on the counters for sale. Criepene, the voluble and veracious monsieur assures me, is a veritable mnon- conductor of heat and cold, and is there- fore ideal in its adaptability to the needs of city, country, mountain and seaside. It will be found cool during the warm months, retains its firmness when every- thing else gives up trying to and wrinklos into a limp, discouraged mass; scorns to cateh lint or dust, and, in brief, behaves itself as no other material ever has yet when subje cted to summier’s tests. _ Its weavesare close and fine, especially recommending it for gertlemen’s outing suits, also for bouse, lawn, bicycle and driving wear. Aud the children—why, they can kick up their precious young heels with joyiui abandon when erispene comes in, for it will stana more down- right abuse than anything the youngsters were eve: buttoned into. L’enfant ter- rible may run wild in 1t and still be pre- sentable at meal time. this, monsieur VOwS, is the plain, unvarnished, unwhite- washed truth. As to the claracteristics of crispene, it reminds me more of denim than anything else—a refined, improved denim, educated out of all furaiture coarseuessinto a fabric fit for the fair. It has the denim colors, top, but theground is almost exciusively \wmn, and, truly, the effect is novel and | 1 | | sasing. With your crispene gowns you | %9 to wear crispene shoes, instead of the canvas footgear of yore, which was such a trial to keep clean. They will be much like the canvas wffairs, but the cloth in them will match exacily the prevailing color in the gown, and they will be neatly finished with siiky bands or very fine and infimitesimal bits of leather. Loather, though, is to be conspicuous by its ab. | sence on summer footwear; the most 1t will do is to insert its presence solewise iwixt my lady’'s toot and terra firma. @Each gown must have its corresponding shoes, so enlarge your wardrobe accommo- dations accordingly. The toeof the dre-s- goods shoe is really pointed our way, as 1 hinted some weeks ago would be the case. Now a few suggestions about the mak- ing and using of crispene for you 1o cut out and keep jor reference when its day | dawns. These hints are direct from head- quarters and are worth preserving: Gray Hair Before it spoils your beauty and puts t::e seal of age on a youthful face, Mrs. Neitie Harrison's 4)-day Hair K“torer is a harmless preparation ‘hat restores gray or faded hair to its naural color, without any incon- ven ence or aisagreeable after effects.

Bias outside facings to finish, from five toseven inches wide, add greatly 1o the style of crispene. Fit facing inside on bottom of skirt, stitch about one-half inch from eaye, 20 that when facing s turned up on right | side of skirt it will bring both raw edges together. Then put two rows of stitching top and bottom to match lap seams. In washing use clean, tepid water, with- out allowing to soak long. Ox gall or castile soap is preferable. Hang in the shade until partly dry, then iron oo the | wrong side while damp until material re- sumes dry, crisp condition. After completing garments made of this goods they will require pressing. Use hot iron on wrong side without dampening material. ey R SR S Discovery number two that I have made concerns next year's organdies. Theyare beautiful, but distinctly different from any styles we have yet had. They come in strives about two iuches wide of solid color, alternating with equzl widths of siripes in figured design on white ground, the traceries being dainty and summery in the extreme. You can readily picture in your mind's eye the effectiveness of these organdies and the style with which they can be made. Thereis noend to the variety of coloring and design, and I | think them extremely charming. *« e o« Dropping the curtain of the future and returning to topics of the hour, I will tell you about some of the gowns I have szen the street and at various functions within the past few days. Miss Virginia Fair was a picture stody in apple green and biack recently, the combination being used with admirable effect in hat, gown and wrap—a dashing tout entemble. The cape was a handsome creation of black cbiffon over green satin, the hat of black velvet heaviiy trimmed with the satin in ribbons. Some girls ure | at their best in summer habilimente. | Others look their prettiest in a winter upholstery of rich stuffs in dark tones, and the heirecss whom I have just men- tioned is one of these, in my opiion. Two of our most stylish dressers hava for some time lately had their glory eclipsed by somber mourning garments—Miss Jen- Lhu\\ucev Winslow, each of whom possesses an ‘air’ all her especial own when it comes to the wear- ing of gowns and wrap and hat acces- * An Affective Street Costume. sories. Miss Blair is essentially chic, her style being distinctly French. She is given to brilliant colors, tastefully chosen always, and has a knack of wearing sev- eral of them at a time so well that the color scheme seems a perfectly harmoni- ous one upon her, while on anotber it wou!d be a real dry-goods discord. Ex- plain such mysteries if you can. Why 1s itthat one woman can be a delight to the eyein a daring mixture of colors, while the sam= costume upon another would set the teeth of the artist beholder on edge? Mrs, Winslow is relieving her black robes by autnmn garniture. Isaw herina very preity costume recently, tastefully lit up with green in one of the newest shades, The Misses Dunn, Jennie and Pollle, | have just come home after an absence in Europe of a year and a half. They were always notably fine dressers, you will re- member, and bave brought back trunks and trunks of elegant gowns, which will be admired at social affairs this winter, Miss Pollie has worn an especially pretty one since Ler return—an evening toilet of rich figured silk taffeta, with zouave jicket of rare point lace, made decollete | and short-sleeved. Somewhat similar in the matter of lace | zouaves and figured material isan evening gown worn by Miss Moody, who has ap- peared in a number of tasteful costumes Lhis season. Apropos of evening gowns, there are several which have particularly pleased me of late. Miss Florence Stone, one of the stateliest young women in San Francisco’s 400, a bewitchingly pretty one of snowy swiss, with low neck and short sleeves. Masses of ruffles edged with valenciennes are ar- ranced garland-wise on the fall skirg, which is dancing length. With this simple yet beautiful gown is’ worn @ girdle of pale blue silk. Miss Feldman wears an effective and becoming mew gown ot figured organdie, white ground traced daintily with bine flowers. The front of the bodice 1s a mass of crisp little ribbon ruffles; from the quare decolletaze rises a rounded white throat and shoulder puffs are edged with ruffles of Swiss and valenciennes that fall i bal way to the elbows. A red crepe gown, worn with white lace yoke and red slip- pers, is exceedingly becoming to its own- er, Miss Marie Currier. Miss Charlotte Cunninghem wears a dark bu’ handsome evening costume of b'ack grenadine over green siik, cut de- collete. Miss Helen Fitzgeraid, daughter of the Attorney-General, is not yet out, but at an evening gathering the other night the | young girt was attired %0 prettily as to | deserve more than passing notice, al- though the gown was the acme of simpli- city, being a pure white organdie, pro- fusely ruffied with the same and edged with valenciennes. At the cotilion a week ago there was | an absence of color in gowning, the ma- jority ot the dancers being in white, un- relieved by anything else. Of course, white has prevailed among the debutantes on that and other occasions whers the bods congregate. Mias Gertrude McCon- nell, a pretty brunetie, was daintily cos- tumed at the cotillon in white siik, trimmed in white tulle with girdle of cerise velvet. A superb American beauty rose in ber hair and one on the lelt shoulder completed a charming picture in glowing red and pure whit Mrs. W. V. Brvan wore a chic creation of green and wbhite—white Brussels net over white silk, on the skirt of which were four craduated ruffles, edged with narrow green velvet ribbon. A girdle and sleeves of green velvet, white gloves, tulle-irimmed bodice with diagonal pands of velvet crossing it and a large cluster of | violets and maidenhair on the shoulder | were the deiails of this tasteful costume. Atarecens affair Mrs, Bryan wore a pale AN ELEGANT the wants and fancies of San Francisco most stylish maids and matrons, Of especial beauty were the evening gowns exhibited in two small rooms, and | those I most liked you must hear about. Eeveral weeks ago I related the charms of the dainty confections being evolvea in Paris out of muslin, or chiffon, and black and white Jace. Well, mademoiselle bas one of the finest white musiing made over white silc. The skirt is charming. Within s few inches of the waint lirie is a very narrow puff, and below this are ap- pliqued all around black lace flowers most graceiully grouped. Then comes a second puff and more of the appliques. The low-cut bodice has soft surplicelike folds, the applique being arranged so as to rtn from the sharp V in front to the end of the Vin the back. The vinelike line climbs over the shoulders, This simple confection cannot be excelled in cnic, and the short puffea sleeves are well cut and not the least full. Buch a frock suggests many delightful possibilities—for examnple, use white in- stead of black applique, and have a blue or pink silk foundation and you will possess | a delightful tout ensemble; or take the model and wear it over an oragne silk and 1t will look like another toilet. But | only the origina! has the true Parisian touch. Of fine Brussels net is a demi-toilette made over black glace taffeta, | The net is covered with rows and rows | of one inch wide rose-pink veivet ribbon, | placed just about one ineh apart. Skirt, bodice and sleeves are treated in exaetly the same nianner. The skirt is of medium width, The sleeves ars rather narrow TEA GOWN. The materia!l is of softest ivory crepe de chine, {rimmed profusely with exquisite ecru lace. pearls and silver embroidery. blue crepe of novel designing, the bodice having a yoke of shirred crepe, edged with aruffle, the sleeves shirred from top to bottom, with ruffles at the shoulder and chiffon at the wrist. Each seam of the full skirt was outlined with a ruffle and the waist finishea with cerise beit, steel buckle and fist bow. I also recollect a re- ception gown worn by the same young ! matron—a biue brocade, borately made, the flare skirt trimmed with mink follow- ing the seams. The bodice had sleeves of shirred velvet with a pink chiffon ruffle at | the wriss, a frentof the chiffon, blue vel- vet girdle and revers of white moire edged with mink. A beautiful dinner gown shown me by a | leading modiste, who was just putting the tinishing touches thereto, was of plain blue silk, finished at the hem by a deep ruffle of yellow lace; abave this were three blue ve!vet bands with prim little cravat-like bows at intervals of a foot. The bodice was ruffled deeply with yellow lace and trimmed with the velvet; sleeves, velvet puffs with a ruffle of lace. Another handsome toilet about to leaye the same establishment was an evening one of soft gray taffeta, a band of -ilk heavily brocaded with pink flowers finishing the foot of the four-gored skirt. Roses outlined the low-cuc bodice, which was trimmed with the flowered brocade and white 1ace. Eatins and silks are the preferred mate- rials for dinner gownsz, which, to be cor- rect, must be low-necked, the sleeves short, if your arms permit of display, half length if they do not. In the latter deplorable case you must have recourse to c.iffon to soften the harsh outlines of your bony structure. To be sure, one’s bones are no disgrace, but that is no reason why one should advertise them in all their skeleton unattractiveness, TS There is nothing more comfortable than the Empire lounging roves. They may e finished with crush collars or ruches ot Iace and silk, it the wearer prefers a high neck 1o a square opening for the throat. The lounging robe may be made of cash- meres, soft silken textures, batistes in woolens, bareges or cotton materials, and there is no limit to the way in which they are trimmed with laces and ribbons. Girdlies and belts are not & necessity but a choice with this garment. A basque-waist that isa boon to stout figures is very smooth across the upper back with a slight fullness arrangea in small plaits toward the center of the waist line, and considerable fullness at the center of the front. The frilled neck dressing conticnes to be popular, especially with women whose napes are not above criticism. Epaulettes also are in favor in varions adaptations of the shape. Ribbon belts and stocks re- tain their universal place, and skirts cling closely to the tob, no matter how much they may flare at the hem. A suggestion for evening bodice wear is rose chiffon over green silc. Sheer French mauslin will be worn all winter, as will also organdie, monaseline, tulie and net, over Im.m-nu-a -un. . = It msy nol be |and form to look again and yet again at & pretty woman prettily gowned.

Another black creation is entirely dif- ferent, the foundation being of satin, over the skirt of which is artiscally arranged, in long lines, black net. The low bodice | is also covered with it, laid on in pleats. Encircling the waist is a black satin girdle yin which is tucked a single bright lined poppy. | Oneof the very handsomest of ainner | zowns is an elegant peau de soie, on the skirt of which, around the bottom, are ap- pliqued gold flowers.

Very odd looking is & pirk erepe de chine which consists of broad lines of a sort of silk drawn work, the same idea be- ing carried out all through. The hue is pale pink, but across the bosom are ar- ranged gix or eightsmall ropes of dark cherry colored crystal beads, about the size of a very large pes. The lining is of pink silk.

Well, this steel band is now replaced by a fancy coliarette, in pleated silk or velvet, that fastens in the front with a' wide bow, also of the pleated material, in any bright color.

BY HOWARD V. SUTHERLAND. Along with several thoussnd ordinary people I experienced acute satisfaction when it became known that the youthful Mr. Hobart had been relieved of his vermi- form appendix. What the consequences to 8an Francisco would have been had the doctors been in evil mood is too painful to contemplate. Since the operation the young man has risen consideradly in my estimation, for it is not often that one of *them rich fellers” will part with any- thing. It is, moreover, only natural to suppose that the Hobart appendix was somewhat different trom that unwiilingly possessed by his less fortunate neighbors, otherwise the yellow journals would not have devoted so much atiention toit. It waa probably gold-plated, heavily inlaid, and may yet be exhibited by the Exam- iner when that paper crawlsinto its made- over building on Market street. u%éf%%%%’rfl-%%fl-%%%***%mw Benator Morgan’s allusion to Hawaii as “an opening for the young men of the country who now feel the need of an ex- pansive territory'’ is also appropriate of | the hereafter. Until our own scantily | settled States are more thickly populated | we had betier keep our young men at| home. We may have need of them before long. My friend Millionatre Bradbury is once again in the courts. To bis credit it must | be said tbat this time he is not there on aecount of violating the anti-expectora- tion ordinance, but to recover a porcelain bathtub said to have been removed from | one of nis houses by a tenant of strong prohibition vprinciples. 1 had not im- agined that Mr. Bradbury would miss such an erticle, believing 2s he does that, along with the cuspidor, it has no place in any | well-regulaied household. I am glnd, | however, to bave been mistaken and hope \ that he will not only be successful in re- | claiming his property, but that he will ]uy ‘ in making use of it. Should the courts g | against Mr. Bradbury he should be pre- | sented with a new tub, bought by public | subseription. To this fund I will cheer- | fully donate a leaden four-bit piece, given | to me for change by one of Mr. Sutro’s | facetious conductors. The news that a society widow of | Brooklyn, worth over $100,000 in her own | right, has marrted a negro bicycle in- | structor, is not being received favorably in | colored circles. If the sons of Ham con- tinue to abase themselves in this manner what hope can be entertained of taeir ul- timately rising to equality with their bleached brothers? Bishop Gains, who | appears to bs a pretty white black, de- | voted an entire chapter in his last book to the question of intermarriage and de- nounced it in the strongest of terms. A newspaper published in Ashland, Or., complains that séveral small boys make a playground of the city cemetery, and suggests that the practice be stopped. Either there must be a dearth of play- grounds-in -Ashland or the boys there have queer tastes. If the authorities really wish the nuisance to be abated they | should follow out the pre-Raphaélite idea | ol art and decorate the tombstone with festouns of green apples. If it be true that the suicidal mania can be cured by trephining, is it not possible that in time every other mania will be as successfully treated? May not the bicycle crank be restored to rationality, the base. ball fiend be permitted to mingle with his | saner fellows, the readers of the coiored | supplement of thed pepers b2 con- | verted again to Christianity and the milk- | man be l¢d from the path of crime? With the possibility of all this being achieved surely lite is worth Iivmx? Colonel A. E. Bales remarked in a lac- ture the other evening that ‘‘the army is held in less esteem to-day than any other profession,” Seaing that the valiant colonel prefaced ihis remark with others to the effect that there will be a class war in this country inside of filty years, and that the army will then be employed to protect the classes against the masses, one is surprised that the army is tolerated at all. The best thing for these adopted sons of Mars toao isto lay low and say nothing. Only on these conditions do we consent to feed them and cover their padded bosoms with braid, Judging by the frequency with which charges of heresy are preferred against leading divines the country over, the ten- aency of the day among our spiritual teachersis toward progress and enlighten- ment. The clerics are beginning to take an interest in living men and women, and in the conditions that keep them from at- taining to perfection. They are realizing thatdivinity 1s in man, and not outside of and above him as hitherto taught, and they see that it is as mach the duty of the preacher to fight for his people in this life as it is to pray that their reception in the next beneither too warm nor too cool. In the majority of cases the charges of her- esy are brought by men of the old school the school thatclothed God with impene- trable mystery, and looked upon his crea- tures as obdjects of secondary importance and mnlldernlinn. The modern school, aware of man’s possibilities and behevlng that divinity is in him, accordd to man the respect due while still reverencing the divine cause that brought him into being. The preacher has hitherto not been much of a power in any community. The reason for this was that as he nad busied himsel? mainly with the abstract, he was not included among ttose to whom au- thority was given by their fellows. For aman to make himself felt among the pecple he must take an interest in their daily affairs. He who increases another's opportunity to make bread is thought more of than he who takes upon himself the care of another’s soul. In these day: and in this country especlally, we ha come to consider that a man’'s herealter is a matter that mostly concerns himself and his Maker, and that itis best for him to attend to the affair in his own peculiar way. The preachers who recognize this, and who devote themselves to doing good deeds and teaching heaithy morality, in- stead of a mystical religion, will soon find that they are a power for good. They may be oranded as heretics by certain of heir followers, but the presence in their churches of large and sympathetic congre- gations will more than recompense them igr charges that 10 many seem to mean nothing.
