Sifts fop Christmas.
"Munificence of giving may go hand in
hand with practical economy" writes one
authority, but at this season to be practi
cally economical is no easy matter, for as
even our most critical of foreign visitors
admit Californians are lavishly generous,
and of course at no season is this so notice
able as at the approach of Cflristmas, but
alas this year the hard times will prevent
many of us from sending the usual dainty
or helpful gift to much-loved friends;
however, Marcella has no intention of be
ing depressing, quite the contrary, she
wants to make a few suggestion- that may
prove useful to you all whether rich, poor
or just moderately well off. To begin
with remember that an appropriate eift,
one that shows forethought in its
selection, is far more prized than
one bought in a business-like way to
discharge some obligation. 1 was in
one of our leading ivearny-street stores
purchasing some chiffon not long ago
when my attention was attracted by one
of tlie most delightful grandfathers
( I am certain he was one). He was looking
at some rarely beautiful collars of duchesse
lnce. How carefully he adjusted his glasses
and tried to discover which was quite the
most exquisite of ali. He did not nave to
give a tiioueht to the pric,e, but how he
was trying to secure realiy the most lovely
to be found, probably intending to send it
in a Christmas- box for a bright-eyed
granddaughter, who will prize that bit of
lace long after the giver has passed
out of her life. I wonder it she
will ever know how carefully it was se
lected. You see the season is making me
sentimental, for. even if I do usually discuss
ruffles and frills, etc., most of the time I
am not so awfully matter of fact after all.
I left grandfather surrounded by the lace
collars, but before I leave this subject I
wish to suggest that lace will always be
found to be an acceptable gilt for women.
A yard or so will make a fascinating cap,
and a lace edge of mouchoir never comes
amiss. Even just a scrap will edge the
ends of a very tine bit of cambric, thus
completing one of tne pretty ties now
so fashionable. For voutnful relatives
not blessed with overmuch wealth are to
be seen the sheerest, most lace-like of
etitchings, on which you can spend as
much as you please, so varied are the
qualities to be had, and the dress patterns
now being ehown are to be had in almost
every conceivable fabric, sensible, ser
viceable woolen tweeds, the softest and
roost artistic of silks, etc. An acquaint
ance of mine, who has a small army of
nieces, has purchased several bolts of the
newest and loveliest of ribbons, and these
she intends to divide in suitable lengths
for the girlies. Who can doubt this aunt's
remembrances will be appreciated? Oh,
there are thousands of suggestions that
come crowding into my mind. However,
all my space must not be given to cloth
ing, for some people greatly object to re
ceiving anything of the sort, even when
their circumstances are far from flourish
ing, but just a word more on this topic.
Cast a glance at the lairy-like slippers that
were made for such just tootsies as M — 's,
and the warm, softly lined, fur-edged
sat'n ones that any invalid would be
pleased with; and oh, do not forget that
these days every one requires an umbrella.
Did you ever see such an assortment as
are on exhibition? And as for gloves, does
any one ever have a sufficient number of
pairs? You know how I love glass and
rhina, and indeed lives there a real,
flesh and blood woman who does not? So
when in doubt take my advice and, even
if the gift is a small one, reek a first-clitss
store, and tuere you will see standing, al
most side by side, the very exquisite little
pieces of cut glass, and the great bowis,
pitchers, plates and dishes that sparkle
and gleam like huge diamonds, offering
sore temptation to all who can understand
their fascinating beauty; but the small
olive dish, for not more than $3 or $4, is
just as perfect in its way as the more am
bitious ' articles. Numerous also are the
choice bits of china — for exam pie, a dear J it
tie cafe noir cup will cost no more than
some of the cards you sent a year or so ago,
and there are plaques and plates in be
wildering numbers, all worthy to bear our
greetings to even the most fastidious, but
when purchasing for those who
are commonly alluded to as hav
ing everything you want a real
novelty. One of the most beautiful
which has appeared for many years is the
Vollenden wear. Each piece bears the name
of some well-known artist, and whether it
is a gorgeous lamp, a superb vase, an in
cense-burner, or a wide-mouthed rose
bowl, each and every piece is a gem well
worthy a place In my lady's cabinet
among her most prized belonging? col
lected from foreign pans, for Jet it be
known far and wide that tbe Vollenden
wear is an American production. It will
never flood the country, so few are the
pieces of each kind that are ever made, so
in selecting such a present we can feel
certain of never seeing a duplicate; in
deed you will feel as though you wanted
every piece you see, so varied are the de
signs, so wonderful the coloring, so grace
ful the shapes. Also be sure to look at
the great collection of beer mugs; you can
purchase one very reasonably, or by a lit
tle heavier outlay, secure a very hand
some one, such a sensible trine for a
INydN^ &
bachelor, who would also find a corner in
his den for a royal Worcester tobacco jar
or a corpulent-looking whisky jug.
Jlbout Delft Wape.
You can find almost every conceivable
article in Delft this season, from a hair
brush with a Delft back to a branching
candelabrum. There are complete din
ner sets of it, vases, bowls, in truth every
thing you desire, including quaint
plaques, on which are depicted scenes of
New York taken 200 year? ago. Now, if
you can tear yourselves away from these
studies in blue and white give a glance at
tbe pretty work that comes straight from
"the land of the midnight sun" and you
are quite sure to invest.
Articles in silver were never *iore inter
esting. Even the inexpensive bits arc
rarely excelled in workmanship, and the
quaint Danish, German and old bits ol
English silver that reach us here arc
worth}' of the enthusiastic admiration of
the most critical. An ingenious contriv
ance that would be appreciated by many a
paterfamilias is a mutton- bone hoider,
which will prevent such a roast from
wickedly waltzing all over the dish. Al-o
there is the carnation cup. Buy one and
have the florist send it filled with say
carnations or great California violets am!
maidenhair ferns and the receiver will be
certainly please-.!.
I wish I could go on talking about the
varied and beautiful articles, but time
flies, and, children, I have not forgotten
you, bless your dear little hearts. Chri>t
mas belongs to you more than to any one
else, but you want such a lot of toys and
goodies that your mothers and aunties re
quire no suggestions of any sort from me.
You have told them exactly what you
want, and they are certain to be busily
employed purchasing everything, from a
monkey running up a string to an elab
orate dollhou-e, pair of ponies, etc. But
before I tell about the irocks and other va
rieties dear to the feminine world let me
wish you all a merry Christmas and a
happy New Year.
Wopn on tlie Stage.
Quite an event recently in Paiis was the
representation of "Don Juan" at the Op
era Comique, and very handsome were
some of the toilets. "The beautiful
mourning dress worn by Mile. Marcy in
the part ol Donna Anna merits descrip
tion. It was black velvet in tbe renais
sance style, with large pattern; the skirt
had a demi-train: at the sides puffs of
black satin held in with diamonds, in
front a black satin tablier covered with
jet and diamonds; the low bodice was
long waisted, and had a collar of white
guipure worked with jet; the black velvet
sleeves were slashed with satin, and the
slashes bordered with jet. She wore a
kind of Marie Stuart or renaissance head
dress of black velvet and jet. At the
cemetery scene a long black veil over this.
Mile. Delna, as Zerlina, had a pretty Span
ish peasant costume, a sky-blue short
skirt, with flounces of mousseiinede soie,
and as a bodice a charming little bolero or
jacket of violet velvet embroidered with
roses."
"The Haven of Content," at the Garrick
Theater, London, has been very popular,
and Miss Granville, as leading lady, has
taken much trouble to have her costumes
beautiful, artistic and appropriate. Suc
cess crowned her exertions, for the lead
ers of fanhion are all commenting most
favorably on her lovely toilets. One con
sists of a bodice of rich white guipure over
white satin; *be lovely crinkled sleeves
were of smoky gray crepe de chine. The
bodice of guipure was cut zouave fashion,
permitting a single fold of the white satin
to show above the soft gray belt. Round
the neckband was twisted a ribbon of a
pinkish mauvre color, and at the back of
the neck over it fell three little frills of
lace. Accompanying this creation was a
hat of gray felt, the brim being bound
with black velvet. The puffed crown was
of violet velvet, great clusters of Russian
violets nestled at one side and a smaller
bunch nestled under the brim so as to
rest becomingly in the hair. A London
correspondent gives such a good descrip
tion ot another. interesting frock that for
your benefit I quote:
"Quite of the style of to-morrow was a
gown of fine wool poplin in black. The
skirt was simple; it was the bodice that
calied for observation. The latter, de
vised upon horizontal lines, consisted, al
ternately, of rows of narrow pipings and
of black satin ribbon, which was attached
on the upper side only of the material.
The effect of thsse iines of ribbon falling
away from the figure was to give slender
ness to the waist, which a belt of black
satin, adjusted with sparkling buttons,
encircled. Four steel buttonn also ap
peared to fasten the bodice at one side,
and a double frill of black lace over white
maue a pretty trimming to the overlap
ping edge, as well as to the wristlets. The
sleeves were noteworthy for the new
means of giving width to the shoulders.
This result was attained by a serried row
oi tucks which turned upward and almost,
met at the points of a collar, composed of
cordings and black satin ribbon in the
same style as the rest of the bodice. A
black straw bat which > accompanied this
smart gown had a crown of black velvet,
and again the favorite trimming of vio
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1896.
let. Miss Granville repeated the trans
verse style of trimming when she donned
a blouse of black tucked chiffon, which
she wore with a black skirt and a satin
belt buttoned with diamonds.
"We gained the assurance that in tbe
evening the arms may fitly be veiled
from a sight of the long, diaphanous
chiffon sleeves which Miss Granville wore
in combination with a low-necked black
satin gown. A hanging bertha of cut jet
formed the handsome trimming to this
dress; a diamond comb was introduced
above the hair-knot.
"Miss Haidee Wright, as a simple Eng
lish heroine, wore a most becoming even
ing gown of moonlight blue satin with a
bodice and full elbow sleeves of pleated
white silk gauze. A scarf of frilled white
chiffon accompanied this pretty costume
s an occasional shoulder-wrap."
Ideas Fpom Papis.
As I expected braiding of all kinds has
been so overdone that in Paris the
smartly dressed women have wisely re
turned to their far more becoming trim
mings cf velvet and fur, so again I say do
not tolerate machine braiding and avoid
braiding altogether if you would keep well
in advance of the fashion. However, we
should remember that braiding held its
own all last winter, so of course it could
not huve been expected to have been
stylish a second winter. That would have
sent Dame Fashion off into a tantrum.
Last week I saw a white-haired old lady
wearing the loveliest ruche of black chiffon,
which looked as though quail feathers had
oeen used to edge it. How I wonder
where it came from. 1 have not seen
-uch another anywhere. But you want
news about some beautiful blouses.
Across the pond corduroy velveteen is en
joying a considerable popularity, and very i
effective wjre two blouses sent out by a
good bouse very recently. One was of a
tomato red and the other of a gorgeous
green; both of these were worn with turn
down collars and cuffs. A green plaid
glace waist and one of geranium-colored
bengaline were both cut like shirt, waists.
From the same source, much admired,
was a black grenadine with a chine flower
upon it. Bands of green miroir velvet
extend from the shoulder to below the
waist, turn way back with jewel em
embroidered revers; small frills of black
chiffon outline the decolletage.
An evening blouse I like is composed of
alternate frills of chiffon and fine-pointed
embroidery. Round the armholes is a
double bow of apricot watered ribbon,
and the ruched sleeves of chiffon reach
the elbows. Equally attractive is one of
an infinitesimaily striped green and black
velvet. This is cut in loose bolero form,
edged with mink, and shows an nnder
bodice of a lighter grpen chine silk, with
a draped band of the velvet around the
waist. A fichu edged with ruffles bordered
with very narrow black velvet assists ir.
adorning. Yet another, which has an
under bodice and sleeves formed of bouil
lonnes of white striped with black velvet
ribbons; pale mauvre glace forms the
epaulettes and fichu. Quite lovely is a
bodice of ivory tinted Irish lace mounted
on chiffon, belted and buttoned with tur
quoises. Marcella.
Fashions fop Men.
When the Prince of Wales appeared in
a double-breasted blue reefer (or three
seamer) recently at an afternoon function
the tailors were filled with consternation,
for it is "a compromise between the frock
and the lounge. Home declare that ere
long this garment will be worn with a top
hat, as it has a more dressy effect than
the regulation aack coat." In New York
some of the best tailors are making
square -cornered, double-breasted "jack
ets" of either a black or bine cheviot, or
an unfinished worsted. There are two
pockets, and the jacket fits loosely and
extends over the hips. It is worn but
toned.
Broadcloth and vacuna are entirely out
of date for evening dress suits, as is also a
species of diagonal much used some three
years ago. The cloth now employed is
known as dresscloth, or a diagonal neither
too fine nor too coarse. When a cloth waist
coat is worn it is single - breasted, with
three buttons; if it has a U-snaped collar
it must be of the same fabric as the rest of
the suit; however, the most fashionable
waistcoat is of white duck or linen, is
double-breasted, has three buttons and a
narrow collar. A Tuxedo is never worn
with a white waistcoat, neither is a white
lawn tie. A black satin tie is correct if
not in mourning, but nnder such circum
stances black corded silk is substituted.
A reader asks a 'New York authority
whether it would be correct for nim to
wear either an opera or silk hat with a
dinner coat.
He is correctly informed that "the
dinner coat is semi-formal evening dress
and as such requires the headgear used on
ordinary .or semi-formal occasions. A
short coat and a tall hat are elements
which do not agree. The gist of these
remarks is that neither a tall nor an opera
hat should be worn with dinner coat The
proper hat is a derby or a Homburg; black
for winter and a straw in summer."
A youth of 18 may wear an evening coat
or a Tuxedo, provided he observes strictly
as to the waistcoats and ties provided for
each garment
The round-shaped buttoned patent
ieather boot is stylish for walking; with
lounge suits are worn round-toed black
leather boots.
Low quarters or patent leather pumps,
are worn with evening dress. Buttons
are very popular at present. Russet boots
are now only worn on rainy days for golf
ing or tramping around the country.
Spats are never worn with russet boots.
The Gost of a Duke.
Fifteen millions is tbe price of a real
first-class Duke. At least, that is what tbe
New York World says W. K. Vanderbilt
paiu for the honor of allying iiis family
name with that of the ancient house of
Marlborough. This statement, says the
World, is made on the unquestionable au
thority of an English gentleman visiting
in Washington, who has been in a posi
tion to know all the facts. His account is
circumstantial and undoubtedly correct.
The terms of the settlement were $10,
000,000 — or, to speak with absolute accu
racy, the income of $10,000,000— 0n Mr.
Vanderbilt's daughter during her lifetime,
and $5,000,000 on the Duke. If children
are born they will inherit the mother's
portion at her death. If the marriage
shall be without issue this $10,000,000 will
revert on the death of the Duchess. But
the Duke's $5,000,000 is to be bis in any
event. The settlement was not made in
cash but in investments for the benefit of
the Duke and Duchess. These invest
ments are principally in the stocks and
bonds of the Lake Shore and other Van
derbilt railroads.
The Empress of Japan and her ladies
have taken to the bicycle and use a maze
of walks made on purpose for them in the
Bacluded part of the imperial gardens.

NEW YORK, N. V., Dec 14.— Tbe people
need a rest!
A rest from the hustle and bustle and
worry of these modern days. A rest from
dissembling, a rest from sensationalism.
Our true expression is being forever lost
under the grinding mask we feel com
pelled to constantly wear. We have be
come so artificial ourselves that we look
on everything, everybody, and even life
itself, with eyes of distrust, with hearts
steeled against the outward showing, be
it grief or joy, misery or prosperity.
We live on artificial foods, artificial heat,
artificial air. Oar mode of dressing, wear
ing jewelry, greeting strangers and gov
erning our children is becoming more
artificial with each succeeding generation.
So it is, so it will be until matter? reach
such an extreme that the limp and emaci
ated public will cry a halt, and then the
great rest cure will begin.
Santa Claus is almost at our gates. Dear
old rosy-cheeked, jolly-eyed, frosty-haired
Santa Claus! He can only hoodwink
youngsters under six years of age these
days.
The other afternoon a pretty, dark
haired young kit of only six autumns,
said in a very earnest little way, and a
hint of disappointment in her »oice, "You
see, I know there is no Aal Santa Claus.
I wish there was one, 'cause it 's such good
fun to be 'sprlsed on Christmas morning."
Then with a confidential whisper, "I'm
not going to tell EJdie or Alfred 'bout it,
'cause they think Santa Claus comes down
the chimney; they're younger 'an me.
and don't know that he doesn't." Poor
iittle tot, already she has learned the first
lesson in deception.
Where are the Californians? The last
week has been unusually dull in tbe Cali
fornia colony. There have been few ar
rivals, and those who have been in the
city for weeks are busy shopping for the
holidays or attending to business matters
of importance. •
Among the early arrivals of the week
were Mrs. Cameron C. Thorne and Miss
Thorne of Los Angeles. They engaged
rooms at the Holland, and will hear the
Christmas chimes in New York.
A. tfowden of San Francisco arrived
from a trip abroad last Sunday. He anti
cipates being at home for the holidays.
J. W. Brozel!, formerly of the San
Francisco Stock Exchange, has been a
guest at the Metropolitan during the past
week. He will start homeward on Tues
day. Mr. Brozeil is enthusiastic over the
future of the new mining fields in South
ern California and he has interested a
number of Eastern magnates in a bg
minine scheme which wili be heard of ere
long. California is returning to the good
old boom days, evidently, for surely there
are many great things being predicted
and scores of Easterners with money are
planning Western trips and Western in
vestments.
Mingling with the crowd at the Profes
sional Woman's League Bazaar last even
ing, I met John T. Malone, the lawyer
actor and writer of San Jose. Mr. Malone
has grown quite gray daring the past few
years, but it is becoming to his strong,
handsome face. He is really a thorough
New Yorker now, though he speaks with
the same clannish spirit of every true Cali
fornian. M.\ Malonn has virtually left the
stage and has returned to the old love of
his youth, the practice of the law. He
was admitted to the New York bar last
Jane. In connection with bis practice he
nas been busily encaged in writing and
preparing matter for Charles Dudley War
ner's new books, "The World's Best Lit
erature." Misa Geraldine Malone, his
lovely young daughter, is here with him.
R. P. Carter of Santa Monica has re
turnea from a long and delightful visit
with relatives in England.
Charles F. and Ross B. Hoffmann are
guests at the Holland.
There is a heap of injustice and miser
able rubbish in some people's lives, and it
keeps them and their few friends squaring
accounts and clearing away the debris of
misfortune which always threatens to
crush out their existence.
Poor little Lee Bascom has had a
thorny little path to follow, and though
she has stanch friends to encourage her at
times, her gifted soul suffers untold agony
through the injustice and ignorance with
which she is fated to come into contact
After writing a number of very worthy
little volumes and having had her play,
"The Bowery Girl," accepted and pro
duced, she finds that, in the very flush of
success, her contract with the mana?ers
who have just put her play on is so flimsy
and unstable that her income from it is
virtually cut off and reduced to nothing
ness. Miss Bascom is in very ill health,
and this new blow to her ambitions has
well nigh prostrated her. She could re
sort to the courts, but, like all talented
ones, she shrinks from the unsavory pub
licity of such a move. Her friends in the
West will watch with intense interest the
outcome of it all.
W. C. Hunter has just returned from
Spain and foreign lands in excellent
health and spirit He will not remain
long in Gotham, but will hasten down to
the Argentine Republic, where he will
make a thorough investigation of mining
properties there. He expects to be in Cal
ifornia before many months.
The news of the sad and tragic death of
Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper and her demented
daughter was a great shock to the colony
here. Expressions of grief and sincere
regret have been many.
J. C. Ainsley of San Jose is at the Broad
way Central for a few days.
Mile. Yvette Guilbert sailed into town
this weeK with a half-dozen trunks filled
with decollete gowns, long ploves and
other pretty things. Besides Yvette has
a lot of naughty, naughty, naughty carol-,
which she will shrilly pour into our listen
ing ears. Yvette will not take us in, as
she did last year; we know a thing or
three now, and— well, Yvette can't teaci
us French this time, we have heard a few
others since her last warblings here.
"Inspiration depend? on atmosphere,
nothins more," said John P.iilip Sousa
the other evenine when speaking of his
compositions." He declares that inspira
tion cannot always be born with tbe
thought, especially when composing
music. The click of a telegraph-machine
will perhaps introduce a melody into the
brain which can be at once transmitted
to paper. The idea is new in many re
snects. Mr. and Mrs Sousa went over to
Europe last August to remain four or five
months, but the sudden death of David
