THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, FKIDAT, DECEMBER 23. 189a T i Qflg i3i C)- u cta F&AHfa n J&k -JA' r?--' S yjP'l I saw a lovely evening costume in damask, a straw-colored ground with old rose and blue Cowers, richly garniturcd with lace and ribbons. It will be surmised from the engraving that the low bertha was very rich, and it will be seen that it has high epaulets of lace and bows. There is also a lace front over a colored transparency,, caught up with bows, while below straight ribbons con tinue to the edge of this lace lront In some of these elegant evening costumes the deep lace bertha ends each aide of the "VYat teau pleat and cascades beneath it to a point below the waist. The Watteau pleat grows more and more popular. It is seen everywhere, from ele gant deshabille to ball dress. In the latter case it often consists of a light gauze draperv, either embroidered or spangled, and falling from the shoulders with lovely eflect. The delightful little sleeveless lllll mm L WL3WJ ft Iclm Wl-P "J ' W' . u !' ?- 1 1 ii- v w" M in it you must wear a Byzantine cirdle, pas inp it under the Watteau fold. If you don't care for the Wattean fold, then there is still leit lor your choice the Pompadour drapery or the embroidered Russian skirt. Japanese effects are much used for 'tea gowns and interior dresses. Still another charming effect may be attained by the use of the satin bow, with ends reaching almost to your feet, the boy. being artistically set upon the lelt shoulder exactly in the spot where your left wing will spring forth when your sweetness and eoodness become sufficiently developed to transform you into an angeL " Flokette. Tonne Girls and Jewelry. It is in America alone that the matter of jewels would be likely to come up for con sideration in a young girl's toilet Ex cepting a string of small pearls, or some dainty brooch miniature affixed to a band of velvet around the throat, ornament of the kind is almost unseen in full dress among the really well-bred people hereto fore alluded to. Indeed, it has been recently a fashion amounting to a fad among girls fortunate in round, white, well-covered necks and throats, to omit every vestige of jewelry on the person (and to have no ornament in the hair, if a tiny band or bow of ribbon be not suffered to nestle in those silken soli tudes). Cheap jewelry, masquerading in the guise of real; the thousand and one bow-knots and rhinestone pins, and false enamel trinkets that now critter in the shop windows and their adoption among maid servants and shop girls are no doubt re sponsible for the forsaking of much that is fascinating and appropriate for wear in the goldsmith's art French Knacks or Dress. The French woman excels all other wo men in her attention to the details of dress. She will live on one meal a day, if neces sary, to save -the money to always have neat shoes and gloves. Her dress may be of cheap material, but no dirt spots are allowed to stay on it, no buttons are left to dangle for want of a timely thread, and she never wears shabby shoes or gloves. A Neir Yorker, just home from abroad, attended a ieadressed in a Parsian gown and bonnet. She destroyed the whole effect of her costume by wearing a pair of shoes that looUed as weatherworn as a cobbler's sign. She was not brilliant enough to de tract attention from her clothes. .Any wo man can ill afford to wear shabby shoes and gloves. Even the interesting woman with thoughts more attractive than dress will not be less charming if perfectly booted and gloved. back loosely, unless the face is very full, tn wuich case these locts should be tightly drawn back to produce a narrow effect. The bang;, according to the latest fancy, tn only allowed to fall on the forehead at the cen ter, the stdes being very short and curled loosely. A ooil or twisted braids may be arranged at the bacic nonsFORirs acid phosphate For Abuse of Alcohol. It relieves the depression therefrom. KLEBERS' CHRISTMAS PIANOS, Etelnway, Conover, Opera.
