New York, Dec. 28.—This season maybe
called the season of revivals; revivals not
only of forms, but of accessories, of details
belonging to periods remote from each
other, and which, when combined, as they
frequently re, with little relevance or re
gard for chronological order, produce
singular and decidedly polyglot effects.
The “Empire” style is announc'd uni
versally as the only recognized “mode;” but
if a woman is courageous enough to wear a
true Empire gown—and there are one o •
two that “dare”—she is the cynosure of all
eyes, and in exclusive circles is considered
too "pronounced” to be quite safe. To be
pronounced is to be condemned, for it is
the evidence of a disposition to step outside
the conventional pale; and when once a
woman does that, “society” is afraid of her,
for it does not know what direction she may
take nor how far she may go.
‘•I always thought something would hap
pen to that woman,” remarked one of the
400, not long since, “f r she would wear
her g wns high, and those strikin t De
Medici coliars, long before and long after
any one else thougntof them.” The “some
thing” was a div rce, which, however, the
“woman” had obtained, not the man.
Yet though l >w gowns are de rigueur at
certain times and on certain occasions—
that is, for full in the evening—yet
they must not be too low, for that is vulgar.
“Will you let me introduce to you Mrs. 80-
and-So!” a'ked a lady of a woman of fash
ion and disti ction. “Thanks, no,” was the
unexpected reply. “She wears too much
paint and too little clothes. I wonder if
she knows that between her ‘creamed’ com
plexion and her decollete dress, she would
be fot down anywhere as belonging to the
demi-monde?”
But to return to the empire styles. Few
of those who make them or those who wear
them seem to know what the “empire”
style really means. “Don’t you want to see
my new empire gown?” asked one lady of
another, recently. “Yes, indeed,” wti the
reply. “I envy you your height and figure
that can wear them. 1 belong to Bymn’s
dreadful ‘short and dumpy” class, and of
cours :i I adore empire gowns because I can
not wear them.” The gown wus produced.
The skirt was draped and trimmed, the
jacket was turned back with high pointed
revers from a deeply falling “moliere” vest
of lace. The only empire touch was a soft
sash across the front on the line of the
waist, which was knotted at the side. “This
is more a ‘directoire’ than an ‘empire’ de
sign, isn’t it?” asked the friend. “Oh, no,”
answered the other, with conviction. “It is
real empire. My dressmaker told me so.”
A general revival of the empire styles is
not desirable, for in those nays women
must have been almost frozen to death.
The straight lines of the skirt, from the
arm-pit to the foot, and its restricted width,
compelled the wearer to abandon all but the
simplest and most ecessary articles of un
derwear, and to have these made of thin as
well as soft materi ils. “How do you man
age to keep warm?” was asked of the one
lady who wore an absolutely straight, short
waisted, low-necked, Simon pure, Josephine
gown at a recent gathering. “Ot, I am
very warm-blooded,” she replied, “and do
not require much clothing to keep me
comforiable. I wear a close-knit
silk ‘combination’ made low, a Swiss cors
let, very low combination drawers of silk
to match my toilet, one flue, soft, flannel
skirt attached to a deep, single yoke, which
covers the hips, and one embroidered cam
bric skirt, which Duttons on to this yoke.
My combinations nro made to order, are
sleeveless, and fit. like a si'ken skin. They
are not, of course, subjected to the opera
tions of an ordinary laundress; not even to
the specially good one we have m our family.
They are sent to a French cleaner, which is
naturally more expensive, but otherwise
they could only be worn once.”
It would be a great satisfaction to inter
view, in the modern way, a fashiona* le
woman of a hundred years ago, and find
out how they did not freeze to death. We
know the t xture of the fine, sarsuet silks
of those days, the delicate, open-worked
stockings (tho tost of fineness, was passing
them through the wearer's ring), the light
weight of tho thin, smooth-faced cloths, the
single soles of the dainty slipiiers, all of
which were for winter wear. Half a cen
tury later, little girls were clothed in low
necked cotton frocks, short cotton hose and
low shoes in the very coldest weather, and
must have survived it, or they would not
hav -had descendants; but how. For one
thing, thev wore consistent, a virtue we
lack. Ttieir dress was thi i, both for day
and evening. Ours is weighted with wool,
velvet and fur, for the day time; while for
evening wear, it is re lucod to a minimum.
SUPERFLUITIES OF DRESS.
For some time past it has been a matter
for congratulation that fashion had rid it
self of so much in the way of accessori s to
dress. These details of trimming and deco
ration are constantly changing their form
and method of arrang me it; and are the
source of more waste of time and monej r ,
m re expenditure of nervous force than
clothing itself. No intelligent person but
recognizes ttie vulgarizing influences of
these bedizening effects, and rejoices over
their losseni g influence. But dealers ad
manufacturers have taken the alarm and
started ihe ball rolling again. Wholo glass
fronts of the largo avuuue shops are devoted
to the display in some of evening
silks and gauzes and in others to laces, fans,
fringes, ribbon ornameots and ev ry de
scription of showy artificial flowers,
mounted as wreaths, garlands, sprays, bor
ders, the latter fringed with pendant
grasses. Interspersed between the lace and
the flowers, or mounted upon them, are
aigrettes and jeweled combs, enameled
flower pins and gold or silver bangles, im
itation diamonds and small grou of os
trich feathers fastened with small clasps,
which may be used for tlie shoulders, the
hair, or for ornamenting the dress. It is a
vanity fair which proves very attractive;
but tbe fliinsino sand uselessness of these
aids to costume are best estimated by the
debris of tbe stock, when the few of
“season” are over.
Home influential ladies have sat their
faces against the waste of time and money
involved in successive st-e saw changes and
flimsy adornments. It is in these last that
novelties usually consist, and to get rid of
them is to be free of much that is simply
wearisome and not at nil necessary to ele
gance; la fact, disti: ction is out of tno
question, when tho Held is given over to
prettiness and pettiness. It must be ad
mitted, however, that there is a great revi
val of artificial flower decoration, of the
soft, silk ruchings and drooping effect- that
were a feature of t he evening dress of thirty
year* ago. Tho difference between then
and now is largely in the bight given to the
•boulders and the s ecves and the arrange
ment of the bair, which is still worn high,
tbs ornamental combs, piqs and aigrettes
accentuating, but not exaggerating tins
effect, by being usually plaoed a little to
one side of tue crown of tne head.
But exaggerations iff any kind are usually
frowned upo i '>y the best society in America,
and particularly is t bis i ho case with regard
to drew, nr where It also shows ignorance of
wha* is suitable for tb occasion. Tbers at a
tunas when it is pei fectly proper to put the
largest amount of material in tbe train and
the smallest in tbe bodioe, when tbe splen
dor of diamonds and tbe magniftoeno* f
M >lid gold embroidery are not considered out
of place upon an American queen; but tbeae
are not for mixed or semi-public assem
blage--. They are for great events of a pri
vate character, and to exhibit them in the
wrong place is an odmission that the wearer
has not the right opportunity of displaying
them.
INAPPROPRIATE DRESSING,
is, however, much more general a fault than
over-dressing. Th re are now many social
occasions, afternoon receptions, club din
ners and reunions, where nice distinctions
in dress are required, which few seem to un
derstand. At a reception which begius by
daylight bonuets are not only admissible,
they are required—such bounets as wouid
be worn in the evening to the I healer, a
concert or in the auditorium of the opera.
In the evening, on the Contrary, wheu
“evening dress” appear* on the card, the
occasion being, perhaps, semi-public, tho
w ords mean simply that the ladies are not
to wear bonnets. A low-tv-cked dress at
such a place, or a very showy costume,
would be as much out of place as a bonnet
and walking suit. But there are wome i
who will wear these, not from ne -ossify, but
to save t iemselves, ad because they do uot
realize the fitness of things.
The best drei ing women in New York do
not employ many changes of costume, and
a handsome dinner or visiting and oss lasts
them at least two seasons, and is put to some
practical use afterward. The visiting cos
tume that was new' last year will do sec
ondary duty this year; aud so of dinner
dresses, evening dresses par excellence
sometimes do duty for several occasions.
The majority of the dinner drosses and half
eveuing toilets coutinue to show a bodice
half high, pointed back and front, and
trimmed with embroidered lace, folds of
striped silk gauze or crepe-de-chine and a
skirt paneled, gored at the sides, draped in
frout and full at the back, but not
long, only touching the floor at its deepest
part. Tae front may sho v a crossed vest
or neckerchief laid in folds, with wide, soft
sash or belt, but the pointed effect is gener
ally obtained, ad a pretty fushion is re
vived of the single string of small gold or
pearl beads encircling the throat. A style
cannot be imagined better calculated to dis
play tho back ot a well-formed head, a
round white throat and the poise of the
whole upon the shoulders, than this modest
and charming costuming.
It is a mis ake to use jacket patterns,
revers and directoire styles, for silk fabrics
intended for the evening; they give the
dress—no matter how costly the fabric—the
effect of cloth; while a simple tissue, deli
cate in color and properly made, will out
rank it, by more appropriateness of form.
SPECIAL TOILETS.
The difference which lends distinction to
one toilet, wtiile another equally rich, may
be commonplace; can rarely be put into
words; but some indications of costumes
recently worn upon varied oec isions may
serve to show what is accepted by leading
authorities.
The fir-t event was an afternoon reception
to introduce the beautiful young daughter
of the house to her m tner’s friends. The
house was lit up w ith jeweled, standa’d and
hanging lamps and candelabra wi h delicate
tinted shades. The whole suite ot reception
rooms was thrown open, and one added, by
i eating in an extension with fluted silk.
Every corner was filled with palms or
banked with flowers; mirrors and balus
trades leading to the di essing rooms were
wreathed with smilax and baskets of mag
nificet roses with cards of donors attached,
occupied consoles and marble or gilt and
crystal stands, from which the bric-a-brac
h&l been removed.
The debutante wore a lovely dress of
white tulle over white corded silk, with
fea. herod ruchiug of silk at the foot and
surplice bodice. A tiny wreath of jasmine
was mounted in her fair hai-, and she
carried an enormous bouquet of the same
fragrant *v. i e flowers, mingled with the
lighters.u ys of spirea. Her mother, who
looked ill. t'na elder sister of her daugher,
was drt!,s;’J in violet silk, covered with
lace, whic i was open and draned up with a
pocket of the silk at the left side Ttie
bodice was pointed back and front and
draped with lace matching the skirt, and
the sleeves were set into cuffs which were
covered with lace. The mother’s jewels
were sapphires and diamonds; the daughter
wore a single row of pearls round her
throat and pearl, stud earrings. The fans
were equally suggestive. That of the mother
was point lace, with pearl sticks; that ot
the daughter, carved ivory, framing a
dainty combination of ribbon and gauze.
The flowers carried by the mother consisted
of a great bunch of exquisitely striped and
shades! carnations.
A you ig lady who “assisted” on the occa
sion, wore a pink-stripei gauze over pmk
silk, trimmed with ribbons slightly inter
woven, and forming a panel at tbe left side
of the skirt, where it ended in a bow,
nearly at the foot. Ribbon also formed
bretelles, which upon the shoulders were
ornamented with bows and striped the
sleeves, which met the gloves above the
elbow; and were suffi GnUy full to be
gathered into a folded band of ribbon,
which, with its bow, served also as a head
ing for the top of the gloves.
Avery handsome dress w fn by one of
tne guests was a rediugote of gulden-brown
velvet, over a skirt of old gold satin, em
broidered with gold, aud wai-tcoat and
revers to match. The bonne;, had a front
of brown velvet, with gold e übroidorod
crown and triiumi >g of gold lace, covering
upright loops of brown velvet.
A costume worn by a young lady was of
Gobelin blue cloth, with braiding of silver
and edging of wmte A-itrachau, forming a
silky, white fringe loque of white Astra -b
--an, with small, upright aigrette tipped with
silver.
A stylish costume of dark green cloth had
a border of sable across the front and a
small sable tippet, removable; and then
showing collar of velvet of the same color,
the collar fastened with pin of garnets, set.
clear. The small, high bonnet was of vel
vet, without ornamentation, excopt an oval,
garnet comb, fan-shaped and set high
against the vel et, where it had the appear
ance of a comb placed upright agamst the
side of the bead.
A pretty costume of cream cloth, worn
by a young lady, had a vest embroidered in
brown silk and gold; narrow lines of the
same embroidery, in a very simple, zig-zag
pattern, ornamented tho collar and cuffs.
The hat was a picturesque, cream felt, w Ith
long plume of tir iwn, ostrich feathers and
flue gold and brown edge.
At the opening recoption of the Metropol
i an Museum of Art some beautiful cos
tumes were displayed; tho majority, how
ever, masses of velvet and fur. The wifepf
one of the best known patrons and trustees
wore a long cloak of black silk plush,
trimmed with monkey fur (black and long
haired), and oue of the latest novelties in
imported bonnets, a coarse, black straw,
with velvet crown, velvet lining, velvet
strings, and group of well curled black
ostrich feathers. Her daughter wore gray
cl th, with large soft pelerine ot white,
silky astrachan aud grey felt hat, trimmed
with white wings and gray velvet ribbon.
A verv handsome costume was of Russian
blue cloth, braided with biack, und edged
with blue fox fur, blue fox muff and biue
velvet toque, with border of t ,e fur, com
pleted this dress, which was worn by a
beautiful girl, with clear complexion, and
the rich, chestnut hair, with a red gold tinge
that Titian loved to paint.
CLUB RECEPTION COSTUMES.
Toilets very well worthy of consideration
areolten seen at great club reunions; such,
for example, ns the “Nineteenth Century
Club” of New York, and the “Contempo
rary,” based upon the same idea, in Phila
dolpliia. These assemblages, aud others of
a similar kind, are practically receptions,
where, on account of their seini-publlc
character, "full” drees—that, la, low necks
and short sleeves—would he out of place;
but whine, as bonnets are not mluii sablu,
handsome dinner dressss aud aften.o >n re
ception dreseex, which are made without
tiai s, msy very well be worn.
A charming gown worn recently at tha
Nineteenth Ontunr Club was of yeUowtsb- j
gray velvet, with front of yellow wrinkled
crape and length wise puffs of the saute In
sert*! into tbe P>p* of tho sleeve*. The
front was out fa Prinemu and crossed,

shades of yellow silk and gold thread; and
the other, a cascade of old lace, which also
formed ruffles for the sleeves. The crossed
folds of the skirt were held in place by a
flat girdle of the passmenterie, which
united with a jacket, made by lifting tbe
velvet into a uouble box plait a id lming it
with crape to form drapery ab >ve a plait
ing ot the erajie arrauged as a gored panel.
A most effective black dress, worn upon
the same occasion, was of moire amique,
with front of fl sh-colored silk, over which
lace was draped in what is known as the
“Venetian” style, that is, diagonally. The
bodice wns of black velvet, and a full,
pointed vest was draped in the same way
and outlined with embroidered lace, which
also formed au outstanding collar, not
wide, but wired to ki ep it iu place. The
embroidery was executed with silk chenille
in delicate, flesh-pink shades and gold
thx-ead.
A lovely dress was of soft, Nile green
silk, perfectly straight, with paneled silk of
knife-plaited, cream-colored, silk crape and
small, blotting-paper pink, silk coat in
Directoire style, faced with cream silk and
showing silk" crape vest, full, and ruffles at
the throat and wrists of antique Mechlin
lace.
A matron who was on the reception com
mittee—for the guests are always received
by a c immittee of ladies appointed for the
purpose—wore a ribbon-striped gown of
magnificent brocade, with netted front of
beaded embroidery and large fichu of fine
lace. With her white hair, ala Pompadour.
she migut have been taken for a duchess of
the old regime.
There is' a great revival of ancient bro
cades among foreign manufacturers this
season, and though few have been seeu here
—and he quantity must always be limited,
because of the cost—yet the interest has
been sufficient to justify a recent exbibitio i
in London, where modern copies of both
French and English manufacture were
placed side by side with genuine antiques
and won the highest commendation. Worth
has made a great point of old rose (Du
barry) brocade, with blending oi cream and
gold and decoration of old point luce and
rose brocaded ri bon. Mr. Worth is too
true au a.tist to paint the lily; that is,
embroider or try to enrich real, needie
made lace. There are enough fine imitation
laces to he used f>r this purpose; ha says,
“It would simply he a sin.”
The latest novelty in imported stationery
is charming. It consists ot clear sheets of
thick smooth pi’per in shades of gray and
gobelin blue, witu white lettering, small,
distinct aud slightly raised. This is a great
improvement upon the dingy, smoked and
“ragged-tdged” stuff, which carried an
affectation of dirtiness, while the new de
s gus are cueerful and refiaed, to say the
least.
The long and wide lace scarfs and their
uses have suggested various stylish effects
produced witu a few yards of gauze or tulle
upon straight simile dresses of soft, plain
silk, surah or Chi ia silk. From four and a
half to five yards can be effectively used in
the f flowing way: Gather the centre of
the whole width together at the back of the
bodice, fasten it with a rou id bow (no
ends) in position. Widen out the folds on
both sides and dra;e tbe scarf up to the
shoulders, where thoy are gathered and
fastened with a bow as at the
back. The cloud like folds are
then again widened out, crossed
over the bust and carried down on each side
of the skirt to form panels, bows of ribbon
without e ds being used to fasten the folds
iu position where they are drawn up toward
the hips, and ag in half wav down the sides
of the skirt on either side of the front, which
the scarf-1 ike folds enclose. This is a com
plete garniture; and flowers, such a grasses,
fine f liage and the like, if flexibly mounted,
may bo used in the same way; or for a
dinner dress upon a rich fabric, bands of
curled ostrich feathers.
Christmas gifts have developed some
original ideas, one of which is an imported
fan, which is a mask, and contains powder
pouch and pockets for pins, hairpins aud
pencil ta e. It is made ip gauze or lace.
The watch bracelet, or bracelet iu which a
watch is inserted, has beeu greatly im
proved, aud is not now at all so clumsy as
were the first specimen*. The latest con
sists of throe qaprow, ornamented clasps,
with a pretty central framework, into
which the watch ii securely screwed. It is
convenient, and not beyond the size or
weight of au ordinary, moderate-sized
bracelet.
The single flower designs in enamel are
new in jewelry and are very pretty, with
tiny diamond center. It is important tore
member that the richer and more expensive
the article, whether in jewelry or lingerie,
the finer and more refined is the charater.
An extraordinary effect was produced at
the opera on a recent occasion by a lady
who wore a beautiful gown of white striped
satin and brocade, with satin front covered
with a complete hut very fine net-work of
pearls. Across the front of the square cut
bodice, which was completed by a Medici
collar of Mechlin 1 ce, was a serlee of
graduated diamond stars, wor i as an orde-,
the smaller uea ing the waist. The hair
was combed up very high and an aigrette
worn in it, displayed a countless number of
slender filaments, all quivering with light.
A close band of diamonds, not large, hut
even and very white, encircled her throat.
It is much more frequent than formerly
to see rather narrow, open de Medici c >l
- in lace, or the fabric of the dress.
When solid thev are usually furnished with
a stiff interlining, and are edged with gold
cords or heads. Upon black or white
dresses lace may be used for this puroo e,
wired at tho top, at the bottom and in tho
middle. Lace looks better if it is narrowed
towards the front. Jenny Junk.
Cure of Pneumonia.
William A. Ban-yer, Hess Road, Nia
gara county, N. Y., says:
"About a year ago I was taken with a
severe pain in both lungs. I was first at
tacked with a violent chill, then a dreadful
pain and thon a cough, accompanied by
considerable fever. It looked very much
like a bad attack of pneumonia. A friend
of mine procured five Allcock’s Plas
ters.' One he out under each arm, one
under each sh *ulder blade, and o o on my
chest close around my throat. Iu a few
hours the cough ceased, the pain gradually
abated and I broke out in a profuse perspi
ration. I fell into a profound sleep, aud
t’ e next day was almost well. I wore ti e
Plasters eight days afterward, and have
never had any trouble since.”
