METROPOLITAN FASHIONS.
tCOHRISFOVDENCE OF THE DISrATCH.1

preat sacrifice the other evening save up
the horse show to attend the opening of one
of its new cluhs yclept Colonial. Chaun
cer Depew was there, as usual, and spoke
of the number of pretty women present. I
looked about me. Did I gaze through
preen spectacles, that I could cot discern
Ins rose-colored visions? I had just before
made a mental note of the iact that there
wasn't a single pretty woman there no,
not one could I find, although 1 had gone
from room to room, up and down every
staircase, peeped into all the oosv comers
where beautr might be lurking, and ex
amined critically every woman in the
lovely gold and white theater. Perhaps it
was because they were more like them
selves than they used to be. Powder I
could see plentv of, but very little rouge,
cream washes and beautifiers.
Another thin- that I noticed was the
courage of the American woman' as exem
plified in that portion of them present.
Although the Empire has been "the thing"
lor some time past, any cumber ol tnose
women wore their l.st winter's gowm with
the most tionaertulequauimity. I couldn't
count more than 20 Empire gowns, and
wasn't able to discover one in the 1830,
although that I harJly looked lor, it has so

other two were much wider and formed the
back, the sides and the sleeves. At the
hack the opening was far up, so that the
dress' train had plenty of room to sweep
out. But where thee pieces touched the
front breadths they fell altogether loose,
and apart, so that they were like long
sleeves. A pretty lining of white quilted
silk showed at one side, and a pointed yoke
of rich green velvet was edged by a wide
bertha of fine guipure. An immense rolling
collar, also of guipure, stood up above the
ladv's ears.
How did those dames fix their hair, do
you ask? Uot very much out of the ordi
nary. Slost all of them hi;h, or semi-high,
with diamond or flower bands lying round
the coils, with pretty aigrettes or flowers of
high narrow satin bows standing up lrom
the twists, with perhaps less waving locks
and more smooth shining ones. Some of
the dainty hair ornaments worn now are
very pretty. They often convert an ordi
nary coiffure into a remarkablr pretty one,
with their faneful shapes. One tliat'l saw
was particularly pretty. It had a fine head
ot gold for a foundation, and at the center
a bird perched with outstretched wings, all
in dull gold.
Talking of head ornamentation reminds
me of head covering. Just think of itl
The restoration of the style of 1830 has
cone even so far as the hat. Behold a bon
net with high brim standing up away from
the face, with sides closely drawn over the
ears by strings that tie under the chin.
How do you think you look in it? Do you
think you like it? If you have a sweet
face, with a pretty, demure mouth, it may
be the verr thing that will suit you. The
only one I have so far had the pleasure
of seeing is of pale gray felt, has a gathered
rose-colored lining on the wide frout brim,
has black standing plumes in front and
blick string. Stranee to sav, it isn't at all
ugly. Kay, to be still mor candid, I shall
have to confess that I like it, that I thiub

fully forms the handle.
Cases for the exquisite dolyles which have
reached the perfection of objects d'art, are
now quite indispensable. They are made
usually of kid lined with silk, but are also

"While Mrs. Cleveland, personally, la very
popular, and her return Is anticipated with
pleasure, it is regretted that the monied
element will also again be in pronounced
prominence.
Wooden sabots, such as are worn in Brit
tany, are a modish ornament on a work ta
ble. They are enameled and fitted with the
inevitable bow,or are covered with satin.and
used as a spool box or catch-all, of one sort
or another.
The long-existing craze for miniatures
grows rather than abates. Beautiful
brooches of these exquisite paintings are
greatly in vogue, and very small ones
are set in rings and lockets, and no prettier
or more fashionable baoking to a watch can
be had.
In a recent informal talk on the rights of
children, the speaker, Mrs. Margaret E.
Sangster, spoke of what she thought should
be the watchwords of every home where
children were growing up to take their
places in the battle ot life. They snould be
freedom and sympathy, and when one
thinks of it, thfse two elements combine to
make most of the happiness in the world,
childish and adult. To be allowed the bent
of one's nature and to be accorded a sym
pathetic apnreciation of one's ambition,
touched as these would naturally be in the
case of.children, with the judicial parental
wisdom and restraint, make an ideal atmos
phere in which to develop the best and
most in a child. Mrs. Sangster does not
believe in the tyranny of parents, a tyranny

recently come over. To be sure, the season
it still voung, but taking all things into
consideration, it was certairly surprising
Riid disappointing. I was sorry ihat the
women had not made more ot an effort to
be bewitching. They seemed pust a trifle
indiflerent. I noticed it even in the dress
ing room before they came down there
wasn't the usual crowding about mirrors;
almost all ot them gave only a look or two
into the glass and then turned away. Is it
the growing strong-mindedness, do you sup
jiose, that- has anything to do with the
change? Surely the element isn't creeping
into the c.rclcs of exclusiveness and gayetyl
Bengaline was the most popular material,
spparently, and chiffon. There were any
number of bengaline gowns in light colors,
with velvet sleeves. White and green were"
there, and a great deal of them, particularly
in all white gowns, with very bright green
-lelvet sleeve puffs. Hext to white and
green in favor came white and pale yellow;
possibly because the exquisite little ball
room was decorated in thee two delicate
colors. The women that had gowns of these
two shades, or of pale yellow alone and
there were ever so many of both looked
t ery pretty when the shades that covered
the" wall background melted softly into
their own garb. One woman" was
firuply a cloud of white chiffon puffs,
sleeves, paniers, et aL Her dress was
k pretty that I felt sorry that she wasn't.
One girl I liked she was petite, graceful
and weird. Her young face looked younger
with her short, curly black hair reaching
just to the shoulders, caught with only one
pin, and then falling as it would. Her
a like bengaline gown fell plain and a little
lull, straight to her feet, from a short white
voke. A ban'I of magenta velvet covered
the join all around, and two long, narrow
magenta loops stood up from the band, on
the vote, in front, almost touching her
dark" gipy-hke throat. Her dress was
loosely caught at the waist by another vel
vet band of the same bright color, and long
streamers fell from the yoke at the back.
A train there was that was simply over
powering. A gentleman that stood near me
measured it with a quick eye and pro
nounced its length three yards. Dear, what
a lot of room its owner needed! She made
several attempts to hold it up, but even
v hen she took hold of the Tery middle, a
long end still fell about tier, which she was
helpless to coutnd. Her robe was very
beautifully trimmed with deep Venetian
point.
But I was fully repaid for all the weari
ness of looking and watching that evening
v i.en the women began to 50 home, for I
in- two cloaks that were most magnificent.
They were fresh lrom Paris, I could see at
a glance.
The nrst one was of pure with cloth, and
hung over a rose-colored gown that had a
cusli velvet Empire belt of pink, a deeper
shade. The cloak was a double pelerine,
the first cape hanging three-quarter J ngth,
and edged with Hussian sable, the second
very much shorter, edged the same. From
tne neck fell a very narrow ruffle of the
cloth, both beaded and edged with fur; and
the tur of the beading went down inside the
mantle as well, for a few inohe, so that it

lining was white taffeta, shot with pale

The nther was very different It wa of a
beautiful water-green brocade, with leaf
sprays outlined in gold. The cloak, wuJch
fell to the feet, seemed to be made of int

som'e talk of an epoch of simple feasts to
succeed the riot of extravagance of former
seasons, but the few dinner" already given
show no such severity of intention." On
the contrary, Vanity Fair was never in
more gprgeous form than at his moment,
andthe evidences are that the feasts or the
coming winter will pale all previous ones
by their magnificence. A rainbow dinner
is something of a novelty, and needs a
Sonst of skill and taste to successfully carry
it through. At such a one recently given,
covers were laid for 21 around a round
table. From the center, which was
a large circle of varegated bloom, the
seven prismatic colors uent in broad
ribbons, three times repeated, each
starting from a mass of self-tinted blossoms.

The notion to utilize spotted muslin as
a groundwork for embroidery, letting the
spot term the center of a flower, has ex
tended to table linens. Spotted damask is
tnus employed, daisies and other suitable
flowers forming the design. Spotted China
silk also makes very pretty table centers.

lighted the table, bearing shades of as many
hues the whole board bathed in the radi
ance of electric lights through rose-piuk
globes. Ad other beautiful dinner arrange
ment was seen at a dinner ot last week. A
large centerpiece of lrnit was tied in
bunches with violet ribbons; surrounding
the fruit were violet cornucopias filled with
boqugts of violets, and from these bunches
to each coyer went a band ot violet ribbon.
After the last course the guests pulled
their especial ribbons and thus secured the
flower favors.
Dinner favors other than flowers, and
menu cards have disaupeared from these
snmptuous functions, but it is a pretense of
simplicity that has banished them that is
more tban balanced bv an increase of snlen
dor in all other details of the feast
