Francis De clare for Apparel That Will Display Charms of Arms and Throat, Reserv ing Right to Discriminate. Her we. are again with that dear eld jjueition fceforo u low or high necks for the Fair? Isn't It fun! Anfl Isn't It Important! Much more bo. Indeed, than any othtr so cial fact that stares us In the face. Even more vital than the bad. sad truth that sre -will haa to spend one Mlld hour rext Tuesday night getting from the Mer chants' Exchange to the New York State building. How did tlus decollete gown rie from Its tissue wrappings and demand lecogni tlon? Well, nobody quite seems to knotr. Mas he tome of tho pretty Tomcn have come hack with rclajs derived fiom Paris and New Torle lmporteta, and majbc eald re lays, being all cut low In tho nee-!:, sim ply won't be shoved JIdo or ignored, be cause thej're to pretty In themselves- and no vastly becoming. Maybe tjic decollete always did crop out whenever there was a chanc for it, and nil this hu and cry about high necks being: tho only suitable ararb while within tho World's Fair en virons sounded nice and dlajined. but had to bo chanced arosnd to tuit occasions. Maybo nobody woro high necks at all. Any of these will cover the situation, pro vided jou don't want shoulders al"o cov ered. But there are tome obstacles and some differences of opinion. Now that the uutumn ca.sot is here and the sitminer finer;' can be laid asldo, since most of It Is qulto worn out and frazzly. women who frequent Fair functions aro beginning to "tako yldcs" It's serious, reallyl TJiU week we have the Important New York entertainments ahead of us. . Now, Now York Is dccoratlv e I mean th" bulld ins and Its contingent and the thought f 160 men and women fitting down to dhio en Monday night, formally and sumptu jusly.'wlth the additional thought that the next nlsht brings a big. big- ball with all hat Bueh entcttair.ment implies. makes those women who hao been Invited nnd those who have acthe supervision otr these affairs, positively weep when they ponder o'er tho possibility of a "mixed as. eembly." WOULD SPOIL MAIN PICTUT.E. I mean by that, half the women In high necks, half In decolletage and some with hats on their heads. Horrifying', Isn't It? Simply too disconcerting- for words. And to be prevented at all costs. It would totally and instantly spoil tho "main picture," that which used to count for so much out at the Talr, and which still count", ray what jou will. No, we must defend that "main pic ture- wiui our lives l should say, our necks, and preserve unanimity at all cost". Hut which shall It be, again high or low? Mr?. Dore Lyon, hostess at the New York building; Mrs. Daniel Manning. Mrs. David Iton land Francis and scores of oth ers whose own words jou will seo In a minute dcclaro for low necks. They re sen o tho right to discriminate, but on the two occasions of the dinner and the ball In this building they are all going with uncovered shoulders. Now, In contradistinction to thl, comes a potent rumor that Mir. Benjamin B. Odell. wife of the Govnior of New York, and tlin hostess par exeelk nee on Mondaj nlght. also one of tho hostesses on Tues-ciaj- night, has declared her preference for tho high-cut gown. "Make It as handsome and as becoming as jou like-," so one of her best friends In town reports her as saying, "but don't cut It avlthout a col- Ur." Now, Isn't that a predicament? What aro wo to do about It? The New Tork women In town unreservedly and unhesitatingly for low necks, and Mrs. Odell taking exactly tho opposite ftand. It certainly complicates matters. I onco knew two brothers (twins), who were so devoted to each other, or, more likely, bo mischievously Inclined "When It concerned their friends, that they dressed aliko to tho last particular in order that no difference! could possibly be detected In their tout ensemble. When John went off To school of a morning nnd Hugh didn't chance to sec him In time to find out what particular brand of necktie ho had on, Hugh -would quietly transfer his entire necktie stock to hla pockets, nnd, on reach ing school, would then ascertain John's Adornment that morning and proceed to an ay himself in Us duplicate. SOME OPINIONS. Tab ifc a good method when It concerns neckties. I do not, however, recommend K on the question of gowns. In other Morels, we can't we simply can't take our evening frocks, all of 'cm. high and low. out to the New York building with us to morrow night anl e!o some stunts n, la tho lightning change artltt, when we havo taken a peep at Mr?. Oacll and found, out how her chiffon is cut. Were well-meaning and socially dlspoed women ever eo disturbed before? Was there ever such an unfortunate problem? And what on earth shall wc do to solve it? Lt'3ji)cc wl-at some of the women who rc to appear on both dinner and ball oc casions aav: 3Ir. Francis: Shall ijnoar a decollete own for tho dinner to Provident rrancls ud myself, and again on tho evening of tho ball? Certainly. I have no thought, and havo not hail, of any other tort of costume." Well.' that's final and a distinct relief. V.'e Imow where Mrs. Francis Is en tho question, at all cvcnti. Mrs. Daniel Manning: '"These two en tertr.lnmer.ts arc a little different from the majority of-othera given on tho grounds. it seems to ait. The building Is elegant and no will havs all the privacy that one's own hi)usc,affords. Thru wo certainly owe It to qovcrnor Odell end his wife to make tho affair a brilliant as possible, itnd everybody knows that full dress, in Its fullest aecepfifice. renders any function Ifajer rind mu;h more attractive than half dreas can evir do. t shall appear in both fe totanee. to a low-cut gown and J-wels, 1 ."Bja.'- n ItVj nlji i,- fj; Iag5aaasfc3fia&fes.&s wlth.j of course, no hat" Mis. Manning, you see-, is one or those who discriminate. She usually wears high gowns, dressy. In deed, but with a lece gulmpe or Fome thlng like, at the Board of Lady Man ager!,' building, on the occasion of their evening function", ns all the board agreed to do early In Ihr summer, but for this for.nal dlr.r,T and ball. Mr. Mnnnlnc evl- i dently is of the, mind thnt only that stjlc of cotumo d'iomlnated as full dress will be appropriate WILL LEAVE IT TO CHANCK. Mrs. Franklin rcrrls: "As I never wear low goms, the question does not arl:e with me at all. A dressy costume, without a hat, will be tho one I shall adopt foi both evenings." Mr.' Daniel C Nugent: 'Tor til" ball I Intend to wear a low-cut gown, with, or courre. jeweK as I am due at the V. I', first For the dinner, well, now really I've not decided. Think I'll actually flip a coin and leave tho matter to chance. I ihlnk decollete looks ever so much prt-te- nut when I hear that Mrs, Odell pre- j icrs me ether and as rhe Is our undoubt ed hostess on that evening, It leaves me undecided. Keally, the coin will hate to bo put Into use." Entre nou, it wa at the Geiman houso ten dajs ago. when a largo and very dressy function was- in progress, that Mrs. Nugent was observed In tho oak gallery b n lately returned Wot Id's Knlr woman, who had not jet seen hei HL 1uuh friend. Mrs. Nugent had on a gown tut not only T Hit a collar, but such a high collar that It fairly met the tips of her care, albeit tho gown was a very handsomo one, such as wo would oidlnarlly term .in after noon reception toilet. The other woman was In a low bodlc. PsUl the latter, when she caught sight of Mrs. Nugent: "Why, my deai, 1 lnrd- ly knew jou What on earth does this mean? Ard why are jou covcrlnt; up jour handsome shoulders to-night? Havo tho tlms changed, and should 1 have changed with them? Do we no longer don evening dress after i o'clock, cveii to come to Doctor LcwnM's elegant enter tainments?" Mrs. Nugent smiled. Then the said: "Well, I've Just dropped Into. line, that's, all. Hook around jou" Tho other did so. There were, at the very Hast, iZj women In the room". Kxactlj" four woro full evening dreys. "Couldn't stand the prcsiure, :nj dear," went on Mrs. Nugent, smoothlj. "Fo 1 Just ordered one or two drcsseH cut this waj-," pointing to the laces on her collar, "and now, at least, I'm not plajlng soli taire." Mrs. Norrls IS. Giegg: "Somebody told me recently that the general Idea had got ten abroad that low-cut gowns were de sired at the New York building .and that wc were urged to wear them. So I'm go ing to. On both evenings 1 ehall appear1 In evening eo3tume." QUESTION OF DISCRIMINATION. Mrs. Daniel M. llouscr: "Low neck, jes. Indeed. nlwajs wear It whenever It seems to me th-it the occasion dmurds such elaborateness Anj' formal and hat d Fome function, such ns hive often been given at the Fair this season, when there b considerable pilvacj and no going about from place to place, Is, to my mind, the occasion." Mrs. Doro Lyon: "Whj. of course, wo shall wear low necks tmrsclvcj and hope that our guests will on tho evenings In question. Here In the New 'iork build ing there Ls and there should be exact ly the same feeling th3t onj- entertain ment given at a club or a pilvato house pioduccs. Tho miscellaneous crowds who frequent tho Fair at night cannot come In and stare at us. Wo will be quite alone. But decollete does not alnaja do. Mrs. Manning and the board aia quite right when they reserve the power to dis criminate. Huppo'c jou go to dlno at the west pavilion with a large or a small par tj of friends. Tho dinner may even be formal and eU-gar.t, but there Is an un derstood idea that when the coffee ha3 been served and the guests disperse, the remainder of the evening is to be spent on the Pike. Will rull dress do for such oc casions? Assuredly not." Mrs. Julius S. Walsh, who by reason of the Illness of her sister. Miss Kstelle Dickson, lately arrived from Paris, may not attend either function, la alr.ajs prc Clsooied toward the decollete when the occasion warrants Its wearing, and If :he goes to dinner and ball, will undoubtedly wear her most beautiful and fetching frock that ls low In the ncc. I'm afraid that, as tho Niv, Yotl; ball Is to be so large, somebody miy unwittingly stroll Into the ballroom with a hat on. Don't do It, dear lady. If such an Idea oc curs to you. You maj perchance, wear a high-necked gown If It's all jou brought to town with jou, or jou've a bad cold, or jou don't care much about J'our col larbone ami celflom exhibit It In public place.", or vou've a prejudice, to which j-ou are Justly entitled, against low necks In geccral. You may, I say. wear the lace guimpo or the handsome silk with embroidery on the collar, and nobody will remark on the circumstance, except to note, perhaps that jou are looking es pecially well thst night. But If jou'vo any regard for the fltnesK of things, Icuve j our hat In the dressing-room. SEHENA LAMB. - MISCELL (XBOI'S KVEXT3. line Watches at Mcrmod & Jaccard's.
