THE LATEST FASHION GOSSIP
FOR
WOMEN AND MEN
Continuing my investigation of the re
eources of our San Francisco stores 1
found this week a large collection of very
handsome furniture. Especially note
worthy was a genuine Hipplewhite cabinet
in a Derfect state of preservation. Several
excellent pieces of Chippendale command
the attention ; one. a quaint sofa, has very
beautiful lines, as have also the chairs,
which match it. Apropos of chairs, there
are also some real Sherraton ones suitable
for Borne artistic room. The marquetry style
is well represented, and I would suggest
that a beautifully carved little cabinet of
old-black English oak, richly carved,
which recalls the Elizabethan period,
would make a useful and welcome Christ
mas present, one you need have no fear of
seeing duplicated.
••• • *
A great deal of attention has been given
to draperies and tapestries. As a resuk
many unusual designs, most reasonable in
prices, are shown. One piece, having a
rich ivory-colored ground, is adorned with
an oriental figure, showing a wonderful
blending of greens, pinks and blues; an
other in tones of browns, greens and red is
excellent.

What am I to say about the Horse Show,
when every one has had so much already
to say? Well, to begin. The gowns were
positively charming, the women very beau
tiful of course and their jewels well worth}'
of admiration. Half at least of the gowns
worn were a combination of a black silk or
satin sKirt with a fancy silk waist, a coat
basjue or a Louis XVI jacket, and never
w«i-a there seen more white vest effects.
Thele wasthe vest of white satin, of white
broctded satin, of whit* embroidered
satin, of white chiffon, of white silk veiled
with lace, of corded or brocaded white silk.
•*• • •
Some of the bonnets and hats were
charms, others nightmares. Combinations
of black and white and cray and black
were much affected by the matrons, but
in most cases burdensome ornaments of
pearls, rhinestones or cut steel gave a
rinishing touch. A lovely toque nad a
crescent-like front of fine selected rhine
etones, with a soft shirred crown of black
velvet; at the right side was an aigrette of
rich lace. Another, of prune-colored vel
vet, had a crown of oriental splendor; ex
quisite sequins, shading from prune to
green and gold, entered into its composi
tion. An odd aigrette of jet made this one
of the most stylish hats to be seen.
Many of the light costumes showed how
charmingly Dresden silks combine. For
instance, one with a light yellow ground
had pink roses, with tbeir green leaves.
This silk composed the skirt, but the waist
had a vest and sleeves of pale green chif
fon over pink silk. A bonnet of light
green velvet had a delightful odd aigrette
of pink.
Some of the wraps worn were far hand
somer than the waist underneath. A
Parisian creation was of silvery gray vel
vet, over which was scattered long
stemmed blush roses, with their leaves
and thorns looking remarkably real; the
Duchess satin with which this superb cape
was lined changed from gray to green. A
ruche of point lace materially added to its
beauty.

I noted a dear little cape of white fig

collar and edge of ermine and an enameled
clasp of turquoise blue on silver, represent
ing two plump cupids holding a wreath of
roses.
Too bad, is it not, that I cannot describe
until next week some of the creations
which will be worn at the Sorosis recep
tion, for I know how very beautiful some
of them will be.

a most interesting set of games the guests
adjourned to the dinine-room, which was
decorated with red berries, violets being

Crimson shades were over all the softly

were served on the prettiest of china.

the manual training interests of Oakland j
are both most worthy charities, and at i
this sale we can purchase the most practi- j
cal and useful articles, such as dish-towels ;

At a November wedding was worn a
stylish costume of silver-white cloth, tho
skirt quite plain, little half-long jacket
with basques, and double breasted, with
revers of ivory miroir velvet; it was
buttoned on one side with three large paste i
buttons, and opened on a plastron of sable
with a draped collar. Truly a charming
gown.

1 A beautiful blonde lately appeared in a
toilette of butter-colored taffeta covered
with a chic little black figure. The full
godet akirt was absolutely nnadorner], ,
Jined, as was the rest of the dress, with i
pale yellow glace silk. The wearer is a j
tall, stately maiden, so the basque with its |
accordion-pleated front of chiffon, which j
matched the gown, and little zouave jacket j
fronts of black satin, with three rosettes ;
on each side, were most appropriate. The :
back was fitted exquisitely and ended in j
little coat-tails. The high soft stock had j
on either side black satin rosettes.

A brown-eyed girl here has a frock which

continued into a short corselet edged
around the top with a ruche of plain blue
silk; very narrow ruches to match run
along all the seams of the gored widths; a
square-cut low chemisette of white guipure
is finished front and back with a wider
ruche, short balloon sleeves of white chif
fon, draped in the middle with a cluster of
lobelias; a cluster of the same blossoms is
worn over the left shoulder.

with an artistic garland of pale mauvre

satin bodice is draped with the chiffon and
has enormous bows of niauvre-colored |
satin ribbon on the shoulders.

A gown I fancy is of rose-colored taffeta
shot with white. The skirt is plain with a
short train. The fronts of the low waist
•are crossed over and pleated in the middle.
It is square at the top, lace edging the
front and back; double fan-shaped lace
epaulets fall over the shoulders and are
continued in front into long lace lapels,
which extend to the foot of the skirt.

A creation just designed in Paris for a
fair duchess "was of sky-blue satin with
large bouquets of violets embroidered in
silk and chenille, having diamond centers;

At :\ reception lately a tall distinguished
| matron looked unusually handsome in a
combination of black satin and pray chif
fon. The skirt and coat ba.-que were of
the black satin, and the vest of the love
liest pinkish gray shade of chiffon, over
gray silk, the stock being also composed
of the chiffon. A bonnet of gray shirred
velvet, with two pearl pins and a fluffy
black aigrette was most becoming. Gray
suede gloves were also worn with excellent
results.

Opals promise to be quite the rage and
are being fashioned into sleeve links,
broches, scarfpins, buttons as well as
gorgeous tiaras. The Mexican, Austra
lian and Hungarian opai are all to be seen,
but the last-named variety are the most
precious and rarest. A novelty in the
opals is the catseye opal. "This is an in
genious specimen of the lapidary's art,
as the opal has been cut to follow the ab
solute lines of the' catseye." A ring
mounted with this novelty in Louis XV
style is said to be very effective. Black
opals are also used when very fine. Chains
for muffs are enriched >vith opals also,
greatly increasing their value.

and shaded chrysanthemums." The spur
red boots were filled with the richest of
I crimson cbrysanthemumsand were slightly
| splashed with mud; horns, horseshoes and
, hurdles were arranged about the table
!in an artistic way. The designer advises
that, real bits, horns and shoe 9 be always

Probably a v.oman would be a bride to
her husband longer if she would continue
making company of him. Most women

they have been married three months.
Tliere are now twenty-five women in
Chicago who are practicing lawyers, and
fifteen more will soon be admitted to the
bar.
The "new women" are coming to the
front in Finland, too. They have formed
volunteer tire brigades in Melsingfors und
other towns, and have done first-rate work.

DIPHTHERIA IN OATS.
Not Drinking Water but Household
Pets tin' Agency of Disease.
Chicago Times-Herald.
An old-time physician of Chicago, now
retired, finds that the ordinary house cat
may be the means of spreading diphtheria
far and wide. This man of medicine con
temns the idea that drinking water can be '
an agent in carrying germs.
This is the way the scientist states his >
case: "Instead of trying to make a scape
goat of Chicago drinking-water, as many
people are trying to do in connection with
the large number of cases of diphtheria
now in Chicago, families containing small
children would do well to look after their
own cats, as well as any stray cats that
may be found on their premises. As a
means of communicating diphtheria and of j
carrying the disease from one household to i
another the common house cat is prob- j
ably more dangerous even than children
suffering with the disease, for, as a rule,
the latter are watched carefully and quar
antined in most cases.
"The medical evidence showing that cats \
not only contract and suffer from dipth
theria, but convey the poison even when
they themselves remain well, is abundant,
in addition to the evidence from foreign
countries and from other parts of the
United States, two small epidemics in Illi
nois have been traced directly to cats that
had diphtheria. The more interesting of
these cases occurred in the little village of
Worden, in Madison County, in August,
1881. A few miles out of Worden was a
family with some children who had throat
trouble, that was found to be diphtheria.
Several kittens in the household were the
pets of the children. The kittens were
taken sick, showing the usual symptoms of
diphtheria in cats. Two of these kittens,
just at the beginning of their illness, were
given to men living in Borden, who took
them home as pets for their children.
Both of these kittens died within a few

A WEDDING DRESS WAR FLAG.
The Iron Duke's Colors Were Patched
Up for His Funeral.
We are told a curious circumstance con
cerning the colors of the Thirty-third, or
Duke of Wellington's Regiment. On the
death of the Iron Duke the regiment was
brought from Glasgow to London to attend
the funeral. The colors were lodged at the
town house in Portland place of the com
manding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Blake,
where the color party were billeted.
To the simple, uninitiated mind of Mrs.
Blake the tattered condition of the regi
mental colors seemed a reflection on the
reeiment, and she was alarmed that it
should be seen in that state in such a great
ceremonial. Taking her white silk wedding
dress, she obtained the material wherewith
to repair the color, and it was, practically
speaking, her wedding dress duly draped
that was borne at St. Paul's that day. —
