colored gowns made beside the white ones which she will wear when she is presented to society One of the daintiest of the gowns is a pink crepon trimmed with green tinted embroidery Another is of apple green crepon with a deep ruche of white satin around the bemA bem-A third dress is n whito foulard sprigged with green and pink and trimmed around the horn with two tiny ruches one of each color Over the last gown there is to be worn an old fashioned pelerine of very coarse lace forming a very quaint and pretty finish for the dress A New York dressmaker showed me last week a gown which she Is making for a young lady who ia to be introduced into society by one the Vanderbilt ladles The dress is a marvel of magnificence and can only be worn by tha debutante after she has appeared in society at least half a dozen times It is of corn flower blue bon Ealine There is a vest of whito satin embroidered em-broidered in gold and studded with moonstones 1 moon-stones Atound the bottom of the skirt skhd there is a white satin ruching at the head of which there is a gold passementerie studded with more moonstones The fashion of thus permitting Debutantes Debu-tantes moro latitude in the color of their gowns is fast gaining favor To wear white on every occasion for the whole season is decidedly monotonous and has beon frowned upon ever since it was inaugurated inau-gurated During the past year a few of the more independent of the young w men have so far shaken off the trammels of prejudice as to appear In the paler tints of thin fabrics But this year the debutantes will shine as resplendent as any of the belles of several seasons The only differ once which will be made will be in the simplicity of their gowns which must be 1 rigidly observed The debutante for example not permitted per-mitted to wear lace draped over colored silk at any of the large balls or deceptions And the debutante cannot wear diamonds In any profusion She cannot have her own gown cut very low at either front or Jack and It is not considered good taste for her to wear Ii very light tieback skirt Otherwise she la free to choose the color and the style of her gown 4i 1dLI 0 I TWO LACE DRZSSES The fashion for wearing long sleeves is on the increase rather than on the wane Sleeves aro worn long very long indeed In one of her prettiest plays the fair Lillian c 0 Russell has her sleeves cut just to her knuckles and then a deep ruffle of lace is town in so that when her arms are resting st her sides the lace completely covers her fingers Another style of long sleeves is cut In squares or in points The points are bound with velvet and extend fully to the knuckles on the back of tho hand In front or on the part of the sleeve which comes beneath the palm of the hand tho point is out off leaving the hand free to move These long sleeves are very becoming as they make the hand appear smaller and whiter from being thrown in tho shade and in the background so to speak Everythinc Pink Pink may be voted tho most popular color of tho season l That is if one is speaking of evening and dinner gowns Pink chiffon pink tulle and pink lace are the favorite trimmings Pink silk pink brocade and pink bengaline the favorite materials for tho gown Lovely reception drsssos ere of the palest pink silk with white chiffon yokes and white chiffon corselets Black velvet hats trimmed with pink ostrich tips andHied with black velvet strings make dreams of millinery loveliness loveli-ness Our country cousins who come to town with pink dresses decorated with yards and yards of blue ribbon are not as far out of the fashion as they might have boon last year And if one can cultivate the proper spirit and look at ones country relatives with true cousinly regard you may fancy that their appearance is quite Frenchy Just compare them with the accepted styles t in the fashion plates I This ono for Instance It Is a Greek dress but it is a Greek dress Frenchified that it deserves to start a new era of its own which might bo called the Franco Greek The material of the dress is plain heavy pink satin All around tho hem of the skirt and up the Bide of the drapery nsd on the corselet and bodico there is a very heavy embroidery of gold and blue The embroidery is done in silk Upon each edge of the conventional figure there is a gold passamenterio inlaid with blue stones The bunch of ostrich feathers which looks ji like a bouquet has a fan nestling in its C depths which is capable of being unrolled I like an everyday fan i j Tnt lRNCOOUEE1 If one were asked to name the two distinctive dis-tinctive dress features of the season ono would say without hesitation feathers and lace Lace trims everything Lace Is seen here upon the bottom of the bodice It is seen there around the hem of the skirt I t is seen here there and everywhere upon he sleeves and in fantastic festoons I vhorever there is the slightest excuse for it The prevailing use of lace is most fortunate unate for women of all styles It is uni ersally becoming and it gives a softness o f the features which no other material does It is better than chiffon being a little tiffer and less apt to tear Even the softer v varieties of lace are more durable than hiffon because the texture is r little Inner and water and moisture do not horoughly demoralize lace as they do the erishable chiffon Nestling in the folds of the lace which dorns gowns may be seen an equally gen ron distribution of feathers Feather rimming is seen upon collars upon the ronts of dresses and upon the bottoms of skirts Bunches of feathers nestle in the olds of the lace which is upon the bodice and upon shoulder puffs And bunches of feathers are used to catch up the lace in festoons all round the hem of tho skirt Hair Dressing For dressing the hair bunches of feathers are specially pretty Those known as court eathers and Prince of Wales plumes are he most becoming They are fastened almost al-most directly upright in the top of the coiffure and the feathers which may be of any color to match the gown are rather ightly curled and are permitted to mingle with the rihglets and wavelets of ones own hair A pretty style of dressing the hair for young women is to braid it rather low in the neck and coil it very low on the baok of the head permitting the braids to hang down in long loops A style of hairdressing which Is a favorite with women not very plentifully gIfted with tresses of their own is called by the simple little name The Curl It consists of a great number of little curls massed together to form a rather heavy coiffure The curie are fastened together in a bunch and are pinaad to the top of the head with light invisible pins Other curls I are then pinned on in great fusion and fancyheaded pins are stuck in as if they wore doing the work of keeping the hair in place tk EVERT WOJIAX WEARS CURLS There are several fancy stylos of dress ing the hair in curls and the curled fronts tops and side pieces are becominu to all women except those who have a severely classical stylo of beauty So very prevalent is this fashion for wearing the bar in a mass of curls that women who have long straight abundant tresses of their own are having them cut off to ac commodate the lighter more becoming bunch of artificial curls |
