THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1897. 28, CHARMING NOVELTIES FOR FASHION'S DEVOTEES ideal. Speaking of doil babies I must not neglect to allude 1o the one dressed by a small maiden, it was so neutly and { prettily done. Some of the hats were good, but next | year we shall hope for a more extensive display. | Every dress I bave alluded to, and | many besides, would serve as perfect | models for our frocks, | Iam certain you will all be delighted with the illustrations I have procured for you. One is of a particularly smart bodice of dahlia-colored velvet, with white satin revers and epaulettes, richly embroidered with diamonds and gold, while a narrow edging of dahlia feather trimming adds a more finished effect. Tae belt, which 1sa hizh one, is composed of the same colored velvet. Another is simply charming, of white cloth, handsomely embroidered in gold and silver, and boasting an elaborate bussar brzid ne. No less ertistic is the delightful gown in gray cloth, with front and revers of white cioth, edged with silver braid. Costumes Worn at Recent ‘ Functions. evening toilets worn at the ball and cotilion given about three weeks ago by | the Marquise ae Pleuc, et which were several leaders of Parisian society. The cotilion was led by the hostess, at- | tired in a pompadour creation, the cream- ground broche, with large bouquets of “roses and several flounces o1 pink silk chiffon, held in place with pearl knots; | the low bodice was pink gauze, with | pompadour bretelles and tufts of roses on thie shouldery; the sleeves extremely smal!, in fact only a twist of ganze; and diamond ornaments.

A lerge hat, trimmed simply with folds of velvet and siiff feath- ers, comrleted the toilet. Another noted matron garbed in a new black moire woolen material was ad- mired. Over all the dress were zigzag bands, sewed on crosswise, of black satin. The bod ce bad a vest of true turquoise- blue satin. The toqae was of velvet, ex- actly ore shade darker, with two short but very handsome black ostrich plumes at the side. The bodice was very shightly pouched in front and with it was worn a ‘jeweled belt, turquoises keinz the prin c pal stones. The Comtesse de Chevigne wore a mouse-gray costume rather oddly braided with black, for the braid was made to | simulate a ba:que on tre skirt and was continued on the bodice. Her black vel- | vet toque mere!y had four stiaizht black wings. Comparatively few were the velvet dresses worn, but one of black moire vel- vet that had the bodice richly embroid- ered with cut jet was effective, and a iargze hat adorned with black and veige feathers and a roll of emerald-greep vel- vet gave the necessary touch of color. Velveteen costumes are becoming quite | popular, especially in dead-ieaf browns and gray greens, when worn with coilar- ettes of rich or bright-hued ve vets, and jeweled beits. One from a leading dress- | maker I like. Itisin abrownish shade of | | velveteen relieved with an exquisite sap- | phire blue velvet, which is merely intro- '<I|vced on the bodice. The skirt hangs | freely over a petticoat of sapphire giace | whic) is mueh ruffled. | Abrown cloth completed by an artist | | | gives another ieature in dressmaking, for it has a deep crossway tuck of Oriental | velvet laid under the exireme edge of the | skirt, above which are rows of black braid. The same velyet appeared at the waist land in perpendicuiar rows down the <lightly cpen iront of the futl bodice. Some | white net spotted with black appeared | through the aperture. From Ra:ifern’s London house direct | comes a chic and useful creation which no one can fail to apprecists, foritisofa | Wedgwood biue silk, the front of the | skirt b g traced with silver sequins. The bodice turns’ with a ronnd collar | | of white satin, likewise embroidered with the silver sequins, while just 2t the throat is a little soft co.lar of pointed lace hang ing over a larger collar in a most becom- ing fashion, showing the throat. The sieeves fit closely and are traced with the | sequins, and the tucked beit is made of the same colored silk as the gown. In New York lately was seen a dress of dark blue cloth, consisting of two pieces, skirt and blouse. Around the bottom of the skirt were several straicht lines, broken | | by diamond crossings, done with an inch | wide black satin ribbon. The blouse was | smart, atd did not in front fall into | | strai_ht lines, vut kept its shape well, | owing to an odd coupe. The entire front surface was crossed in diamonds by a | narrower satin rbbon, in effect. most | | pleasing. A high coiiar was cutin with | the ba. 1d there were short and high | | revers, which were lined wity a cream white cloth, the edge bordered with nar- | | row black sitn stitcied down. There | were very close tailor sleeves, long wrists slashed and lined with white cloth. Bodices. One most becoming bodice of a black | and white striped silk had a selvage that was of cerise satin, which was pretiily in- troduced at the throat and upon ;beJ sleeves. The back and frontof this gar- ment were trimmed with a deep band of cerise and black silk embroidery ibat ex- tended from the shoulder. | tasies have been catered to, | From work, and it is ornamented with gold and pearl beads, Such bodices can be worn with almost any kind of skirt with the happiest results. Stiil more novel is a bodice for day wear, made with a fuil effect thatis com- posed of the breast feathers of the Implyan pheasant. They are silky and most beautiful. For a very sleuder figure ! such a bodice would be a veritable treasure. | Jeweled Buttonholes, Belt- ing and Buckles. Jewelea buttonholes are taking the place of the beautiful ornamental buttons which have been brou:ht :0 such a sfaie of perfection. The novelties are sold in graduated s.zes, to be carried down the front of bodices. They are being made in rhinestones, 1n paste and 1n gold, the zold being set with various precious stones. Many of these buttonholes are said to somewhat resemble the old-fashioned drop-earrings, only they are placed hori- zontally instead ot perpendicularly. Those composed of amethysts and steel or of steel and diamonds are in reality copied from an old model in a sortof lozenge shape and are much admired. Many of the buckles that are being shown as holiday gifts are mounted witu plain gold wire, others in antique silver are either square or lozenge-shape, show- ing large bosses in emeralds or amethysts. As yet I have seen none of the new beli- ing, but I can readily believe that it is pretty, fcr gold ribbon interwoven with | Horal designs that recall the Louis XVI period is said to be well liked in London and Paris. White and gold canvas ribbons are pro- duced to simulate embossed leather and the buckles for these aje so!d in sets for voth back and front. Tne rococo desirns are quite exquisite and are usually mounted in entique silver. HNovel Trimmings. Colored pearls of all sorts and kinds, cut in facets, are being lavishly used, espe- | cially on evening dresses. A white fabric umled spider net is enjiying high favor and is worked in silver pearls and gold. During this week I have specially noted at three of your leading stores the beauty of the gold-run, jeweled black nets wnich the merchants have secured to meet the | demands of fashion. Oune such net had running through it broken lines of twisted gold threads at intervals of every hall inch. Between these lines were oval- shaped coral ornaments, each in a tiny setting of the golden threads. Another net had straight lines of gold between which were quite lovely turquoises. Kither of these pets could be purcuaased for §15 a ard, and they are not wide. Oihers may be had sparkled with rubies and emer- alds or with diamonds and opals. so all but only weli-lined purses can stand muny yards of the delightful jeweled gauze nets.
