New York, Dec. 3.—The “flush of the
year,” the glowing color, the ripe abund
ance which has gone out of forest and field,
has come to the town for the season and
settled down upon the throngs in the streets,
in the shops which are running over with
beautiful Christmas wares and in gay draw
ing rooms which are restored to their usual
supremacy by the presence of portieres and
bric-a-brac and the never-ending stream of
human life. There is no reason here—ap
parently—for any of the ills to which flesh
is heir. Why should there be ills where
there are so many possibilities of happiness?
It makes one desire—intensely—yoj*Kli,
strength, beauty; the power to possess the
good things, and impatient of age, weak
ness, disease, inadequacy— whatever fails
and helps others to fail of attainment.
FASHIONABLE FURS.
Fashion is many-sided, but the winter
Styles show a great deal of decorative work
upon smooth-faced cloth, as distinguished
frtun the homespuns, diagonals and tufted
cloths of previous seasons and an epidemic
of fur—specially for trimming ana as sets
of muff and boa. All kinds of fur are in
demand, but the fox furs are in the ascend
ant-black, white, blue; silver and gray;
and dividing the honors with these are the
black lynx, which suits th i middle-aged and
respectable better than the lighter and more
dressy furs.
Gray fox is probably the most popular, as
it is effective and strong at a very mod
erate price: but blue or silver fox are
more expensive, more beautiful and better
adapted to velvet or the finer qualities of
cloth.
Beaver is less fashionable than for some
years past; though—like otter—it is always
more or less used for trimming, for muffs,
for collars and for capes. But only the
long-haired furs are suited to the boa; and
as the boa is the rage of the season, the
long-haired fox and lynx furs gain in conse
quence.
The fichu collar, which is the novelty in
England, is not made by American furriers,
and can only be obtained through importing
houses like Redfern’s. Next year we shall
sec it popularized.
The latest application of the boa is to tea
gowns and house dresses. A black, fox boa
encircles the throat and extends down the
front of a tea gown of white corded silk, a
lino of the lame fur being inserted at the
side seams and between the plaits at the
back of the demi train. It is part of the
beginning of the Russian fever which we
are catching, and which has revived the
redingote and gives fur caps, coats and
jackets, as well as Russian aprons and
tablecloths.
The long cloak3 and coats of mink and
seal are not now in demand, except for very
cold regions. In so temperate a climate as
that of New York, where the thermometer
rarely goes below zero, and only occasionally
approaches that suggestive limit, long fur
garments are an intolerable burden a large
part of the season, and always tender the
wearer liable to colds. They also crush as
well as conceal handsome dresses, and have
frequently been laid aside in disgust by
those who have paid for their acquisition.
The long cloak this year is and Ah or striped
wool, trimmed with fur; the all fur gar
ments are a small, close-fitting jacket, or a
small visite wrap, very short on the back,
but with longer, rounded ends and tails in
front. The jackets are made in seal or
Persian lamb, black or gray, the visites in
seal only. The short, tightly curled hair of
the Persian lamb adapts it to jackets, caps
and trimmings for girls, and also for chil
dren. It is very youthful looking, specially
in white and gray; in black it is better
suited to general wear.
White lamb’s wool forms a very coquettish
finish to soft gray (riot steel gray) suits, and
nothing can be imagined more dainty than
a costume of gray Vienna cloth, with vest,
band for skirt and clofh turban of white
lamb’s wool, the muff made to match, but
tied with bow of wide, gray grosgrain rib
bon, with pretty picot edge.
Fur lined circulars are greatly reduced in
price, though still in demand for evening
waps by ladies who need the protection of
such a garment. They are not now, how
ever, in any sense “fashionable.” Fashion
able women do not wear them; they havo
found a substitute in the long cloak with
sleeves and fitted back. Blit if one is not.
obliged to use one’s hands and arms, the cir
cular is very simple, convenient and com
fortable.
Before leaving the subject of furs, it
ought to be remarked that the muff, though
almost universally trimmed, is not deco
rated by the furriers. On the contrary, the
old-fashioned cords and tassels, even the
edge of silk or satin lining, have disap
peared. A facing of fur upon the ends is
now carried far into the interior, so that no
lining is visible; and it is the owners who
add the band and bow of rich ribbon, tied
around the centre, matching the shade of
the fur, either in moire, satin or gros
grain.
distinctive features of winter cos
' TOMES.
The revival of the redingote is one of the
most marked peculiarities of the winter
styles. It simply emphasizes the double
dress effect which has been observed more
or lass in gowns, cloaks and costumes for
several years. It is a rather severe style,
but eminently suited to winter fabrics anil
winter wear, to cloth and other woolens
with fur as finish. It is also in accord with
the general direction which other dress de
signs take; with the long lines, the straight
or diagonal effects, the absence of bunched
up draperies and tho reduction of the tour
cure.
Too much emphasis cannot be placed on
this last fact, for it is the interest of trade
to keep up illusions in regard to certain
kinds of hustles and dress distenders which
occupy the market; and there are those who
lend themselves to deception through not
knowing, or for more selfish reasons.
But in t his nineteenth century it is a mat
ter of reproach to all women, that some
will continue to make distortions and cari
catures of themselves, so that they are sub
jects of ridicule, ns they walk in the street,
to idle men who stand on the corners or
look out of club windows. The true fashion
of this season demands no such sacrifice of
dignity and seomlinesj; it is at least capa
ble of being modest, graceful and becom
ing; and the exaggerated hump represents
>t as little as a brazen exposure of bust does
the elegnnco of the approved evening dress.
The two most popular modes of trim
ming are braiding and edges or bordenngs
of fur. Both are available by very mode
rate purses; for braiding is now executed
by machinery so cheaply and so effectively
that tho cost of what seems to be a hand
some, braided jacket, is less than a plainer
one of fine cloth and better interior finish.
. Up to a short time since “knife” braiding
—that is, braiding with narrow braid set on
edge, instead of flat—had to be done by
hand; now there is a sewing machine at
tachment—a woman’s invention —which
executes it perfectly; and the more costly
mac ine-braided jackets are covered with
designs of varying degrees of merit and con
ventionality. ’ The best and most suitable
*re full of curves aud flhres which run into
or about each other without anv traceable
pattern. The worst are those'bloeked in
large, distinct figures which have no rofer
enS? to outlines of the form.
braiding may be, and of course is, ap
plied to braided garments and costumes as
well as plain ones, but it does not look well
upon an “all over” braided jacket, and is
also unnecessary as ornamentation whore
braiding is used. Fur, as trimming, is spe
cially useful to the economical, who can get
more of stylish effect out of a yard of black
or gray fur put on as staudiug collar and
cuffs of a jacket than anything else at the
prise, besides having something that tills the
place at the throat of fur collar or boa, and
protects the wrists.
A most comfortable and effective winter
outfit consists of a Jersey-fitting cloth gar
ment, with line of fur round the throat and
crossing the front diagonally, cloth turban
the crown laid in folds and rather conical
in form—fur band for brim and muff made
of the ‘doth and trimmed with fur, or of fur
to match the trimming. Fifteen to twenty
dollars will cover the entire cost if the mak
ing is done by the expert fingers of the wear
er; and the materials will be better than gar
ments that are bought for double the
amount.
Materials are now very cheap and good;
it is the making that brings the cost up to
extravagant proportions. Dressmaking to
day, is one or the most profitable of occupa
tions; or would lie, if the cost of living iu
large cities did not absorb the profits;
dressmakers who charge high prices usually
finding it necessary to pay high rents and
live in fashionable neighborhoods.
The large sleeves are not employed for
street costumes of cloth or heavy material.
They have been relegated to little girls anil
misses, or the ess formal house dress.
There has been an attempt to revive the
straight, open sleeve, with coat sleeve un
derneath, of the sixteenth century; and also
the long, pointed and “angel” sleeve. But
it begins to be understood that you cannot
take a part of an old, characteristic or his
toric design and hitch it on to a modern,
nineteenth century, three quarter body,
without an appearance of incongruity; and
that if you want to make a picture you
must make it harmonious in its details, or
it will be valueless. We scoff at conven
tions and conventionalism, but what we
owe to them in preserving us from follies,
gaucheries of dross, speech and action can
not be measured. It is indeed a wise man
or woman that can afford to go beyond the
lines.
SOME FRENCH GOWNS.
Among the latest novelties for the evening
wear of debutantes is the “rose leaf” dress
of tulle, with petals of the rose quivering
from the edge of the drapery upon skirt
and bodice. The petals are as natural and
delicate as life. They are fastened together
in threes and held by a single, fine, silk
thread to the tulle. They are in faintest
shades of pink, straw color or tinted white,
and have been received in limited quantities
by one house—Mesdames McNay & Nichols,
West Thirteenth street—for application to
corresponding shades of tulle. These lovely
tulle dresses are made of tulle upon tulle,
over finest muslin and this over white silk;
yet the materials are so light that the whole
form hardly appreciable weight and are in
deed a dream of daintiness in costume.
Flowers for the ornamentation of evening
toilettes reappear this season, but entirely
divested of their ancient stiffness and for
mality. The garlands hang from the sides or
across the fronts of dresses in a diagonal
line from the shoulder; are of grasses or
drooping flowers, pendent from ropes of
chenille, and so flexible as to be uncrushable.
For white tulle there are lilies of the
valley; for brown or black tulle, daisies
with yellow hearts; for green tulle, poppies
and green (unripe) wheat.
Hops and orchids form anew and striking
combination for straw color and the starry
jasmine is lovely with heliotrope. Two
bunches, one arranged as an aigrette for the
hair, accompany each set; but they must be
made in France to be at once natural and
artistic.
Other evening gowns are combinations of
tulle or crape, not Canton but crinkled, and
“ribbon”-striped moire; the fronts striped
alternately with pointed bands of the moire,
alternating with narrow stripes of satin
ribbon which terminate in loops. The bands
descend just below the knee, the ribbon
nearly the length of the skirt. They are
not placed close together, but so that the
tulle or crape is visible between them. The
back part of the skirt is of the moire, and
so also is the bodice, which is draped with
tulle or crape, and has, perhaps, sleeves
nearly to the elbow of tulle, with elongated
tongues of moire.
An evening dress sent by Worth was a
most delicate and peculiar shade of green
satin, with ivory satin front, covered with
rows of Venetian point with fine gold edge.
The front of the dress was rounded, and
the lace covered and draped in an indescrib
ably graceful fashion. The bodice was
Venetian in style and highly distinguished,
beautiful and characteristic.
Another dress more striking, but not so
elegant, was of red moire and red crinkled
crape, arranged at the side to form the en
larged and sensitive petals of a flower. The
train of the moire. Tho pattern in cres
cents and half circles, and its edge rounded
up in the centre with underpiaitings and
quilting of silk and crape. The dress was
garlanded with green Scotch thistles and
appropriately called “Madame du friable."
JEWELS FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
There is no lack of pretty things this sea
son for those who have money to buy them.
The latest novelties in the way of jewelry
are made in diamonds or onamels, the dia
monds set so that the setting is not visible.
A magnificent ornament forms a garland
of flowers for the front of a bodice, the
centre of every one, a radiant sun in the
shape of a blazing solitaire. This is a chance
for a hundred-millionaire. The old tiara
and other fixed and formal designs are out
of date. The ornaments are crescents,
flowers, butterflies, flies upon rose leaves in
forms which can often be detached or worn
together.
The ornaments for the hair are almost
uniformly mounted as pins or combs. A
pretty thing in enamel in the “fiance”
bracelet. The design is a daisy from which
one petal has been picked and is hanging by
a slender chain with the legend “I love you”
upon it. A lace [tin shows a row of five
diminitive, but prim littlo pansies (yellow)
with elongated purple maiden aunt in the
centre.
A RECENT EXHIBIT.
An interesting event of the later autumn
has been the exhibition of American em
broideries, tapestries and fabrics by the
“Associated Artists,” of which Mis. Candace
Wheeler is tho inspiring head. The dis
play was not large, but it was of almost
uniform excellence; and would be judged
admirable by high art critics iu any capital
in the world.
Among the tapestries was the famous
“Penelope” of Miss Dora Wheeler, which
won the prize from the test work of 1100
pupils, awarded by tho artist judges of
Paris.
But even more interesting was a later
work, an ideally beautiful figure of Alice
Pynchon, from the “House of the Seven
Gables,” as she is turned out into the night
and the storm. The snow falls about her
and drifts up behind her, and the wind
sweeps her light garments. You can feel
tho wind and the cold, wet touch of the
snow, and a border of snow' crystals upon
glittering, silver doth completes tho icy im
pression, but calls out warm sympathy for
the delicate frightened figure unused to’such
harsh treatment.
The stuffs displayed are as marvelous as
their treatment, anil are all original in de
sign, and made especially for Mrs. Wheeler,
her work and artist workers. When the
association was founded ten or more years
ago Mrs. Wheeler wont abroad to find ma
terial suited to the formation of a ba ;e for
art embroidery. She found nothing that
fulfilled her expectations or desires, and she
came home, consulted with American manu
facturers and laid the foundation of what
has become a most important development
of American manufacture. From the first
Airs. Wheeler put the seal and stamp of
“American” upon fabrics and work. Had
all American producers, inventors and
manufacturers done that, America would

rank much higher to-day for honesty as
well as skill.
It is a really proud thing to find artistic
work-winch will rank with the best, inspired
by ideas from a classic in American litera
ture, and executed upon stuffs which have
no peer in the fabrics sent out from the
looms of tho old world. These artistic ma
terials are as well known for their purity
as their originality and sumptuous effects
of color and shading. They make tho finest
of “picture” dresses, and it has become a
common thing for foreign visitors to select
from them for gifts for friends at home,
considering them at once the finest anil most
truly unique of the American productions.
A feature of the exhibition Was the famous
canvass embroidery upon leather, outlined
with gold thread, from the Boston Decora
tive Art Society, and the Rockwood pottery
from Cincinnati, with its beautiful under
glaze and “tiger-eye” effects.
TOILETTES AT A NOTABLE RECEPTION.
It is a little out of date, but perhaps the
reader may like to bear of what was worn
by several not able women at private recep
tions in which they participated. One of
these was given to Mrs. Cleveland when she
was in this city lately. The beautiful young
wife of the President wore a lovely costume
of goldeu brown peau do soie, combined
with cream-colored cloth embroidered with
pold, outline silks, chenille and small beads.
The emhroidery formed vest, panel (pyra
midal in form) and border at the foot,
below which was a narrow plaiting of silk.
It was also employed for tho high collar and
cuffs.
A charming costume worn by Tua, the
famous violinist, on an occasion when she
was presented to Miss Cleveland and asked
to play for her, deserves mention. This
consisted of the softest white India wool,
with lines of gold in the full vest and
drapery and in the finish of the sleeves,
which terminated above the elbow and were
slashed up ■on the inside, leaving the arms
perfectly free when the long, delicate Swede
gloves were removed. A violin of dia
nlonds, a gift of royalty, confined the dress
at the throat. Her cioak was of gold-colored
plush, lined with white fur. A friend who
accompanied bar wore a high dress of ex
quisite wine-colored wool, with chemisette
of finest embroidery, fastened with garnets
set clear and in star clusters.
Miss Cleveland wore an evening dress of
pink silk trimmed with white lace and was
honored with the court bow, which is only
used upon presentation to royal personages,
viz: the low dip, the step back and tho slow
elevation of the body to an upright posi
tion. A training in slow, graceful move
ment—in low tones—in the method of en
tering and leaving a room and in the form
ula of receiving guests, is part of thecurric
culum of some “finishing” schools, and is
certainly needed, for nothing strikes a cul
tivated person more disagreeably than the
“hurricane” mode of entering a room, re
gardless of who is present. The loud, rasp
ing voices often heard the height and
depth of four stories, or the way young
people have of forming a clique and fail
ing utterly of respectful attention to older
persons, who ought to be objects of their
care and attention. Jenny June.
Advice to Motners.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should
always be used when children are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it
produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving
the child from pain and the little cherub
awakes as “bright as n button.”
It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the
child, softens the gums, allays all pain, re
lieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the
best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether
arising from teething or other causes. 25
cents a bottle.
