FASHIONS FADS AND FANCIES Still the social ball is Copt gayly rolling, and now that the debutantes have all been formally introduced, numerous are the dinners, luncheons, and theater par ties of which we hear daily, but some pre dict that the approaching holidays will, in a measure, put a stop to the large affairs. However, such would not be a regrettable fast, as those in the smart set are begin ning to feel the strain of constant late hours. But the debutantes are as fresh and lovely as though dancing until morning was the most healthful exercise known and late suppers productive of bright eyes and cheeks like damask roses. However, with the red berries rome thoughts of Christ mas and already not a few are laying in a goodly stock of re mo ranees, and who can wonder, for bow the shops do tempt us, not only with dear delightful trifles, but also with artistic gems that one fairly longs for. Useful gifts are not overlooked by our merchants, who impart a festive air to even a simple serge frock by the judicious at pi cation of the bright rib bons that tie it together. I have been asfced for more holiday suggestions and next week I shall have something to say on this subject, and I will also tell you what can be done with a small sum if you desire either a street or evening gown, but now let us discuss Tiie Law of Change. In his new play Mr. Carton remarks that the law of change is the only law that does not change; and as far as fash ions are concerned this is assuredly true. Among the many modifications and alterations in current mooes I must notify you that, according to a London correspondent, the latest necktie is made ike a man's stock silk of a very su i prior quality. This is crossed over, and IX-Xtr TO-DAT: ______________ — , ■ ■im itiKurrr-siii iiriwii mni>,. ,\,mwt_9it _«___% ssßsSsssssssssstssKMsSJssssssssssssasssasssslll I ■illias^ssssssssssssasssMsssßßasP Globes On Lamps are the proper ! thing now, Fashion says.

I thought such ties had been worn here or a considerable time; but doubtless her descrij ti n is different, although Ido not see exactly in what way. Every stylish matron owns at least one black silk and one white satin crown. Black admits of such numerous altera tions that it will never hi: its hold on I the favor of the majority of women, but I this winter it will be most in vogue when combined with white or cream-white, al though green and turquoise blue are very fashionable. Much velvet i- being employed not only for entire gowns, but likewise in combina tion. However only the really good qual ities are worthy of consideration, for a cheap velvet is a thing to be most care-, fully avoided. Far better to put all you have to spen in a good cloth than to have a poor velvet for trimming. Also cheap qualities of lace should be employed with great discretion, as I have seen a yoke of cotton lace completely ruin the appearance of an otherwise satis factory cashmere frock. It's all very well to use the narrow laces on little lawns, mu-lins and organdies, but that is another story. Since the appearance of "The First Born" there has been quite a fad East for Chinese and Japanese dressing gowns and Chinese embroideries figure on many rich satin center pieces and doylies that are principally seen at swell luncheons. One center piece 1 recently admired on such an occasion had doylii-^ .hat perfectly matched and had been especially ordered from China. They were of white satin, exquisitely wrought i i gold, crimson and a rarely lovely snade of blue. A great bowl of cut glass, filled with crimson Carnations, and candl - with crimson silk shades coy -red with silver filagree, nave an artistic finish to a charm ing table. Lingerie. In a trousseau lately ordered the lingerie was very beautiful. In the first place the numerous sets of underwear were each and every one sent home tied up with ! white satin ribbons, on each of which ! were silver labels. These were placed in | white moire boxes. The petticoats were of every known kind from silk to cambric. Many had much line hand embroidery. The pale ink, blue and whi:e batiste garments were ma-ses of Valenciennes lace and in sertion, but point de Paris lace is exten sively introduced on many sets, as it is considered the thing this winter. The petticoat which will be worn at the wedding is of while chine silk. A wide flounce trimmed With fine real laces en circles It, headed by a lace ruche. The deep ba!aveu*e is accordion-pleated and pinked at tbe edges. The woven silk com binations have lace yokes or edgings. On the silk stockings the bride's monogram is worked in silks to match the color of the clocks. The nightgowns are, most of them, em broidered and tucked by hand. Chemises and nightgowns are being drawn into a band at the waist, and whether silk or muslin is used it is fre quently gathered into slight puffings be tween open insertions. The latest Valenciennes lace is of so firm and wiry a quality that even after It has been washed or cleaned it is almo-t im possible for any but an expert to tell it from the real lace. Very comfortable as well as dainty are the flannel petticoats that have deep white silk flounces trimmed with lace. Several fascinating dressing-gowns and bed-jackets that I fancy are made of plisse silk, cashmere or nun's veiling. However now that tha temperature is rather low and not all of our homes hava furnaces, eiderdown dressing-aowns and jackets will be found acceptable, and when 01 laintv colors and adorned with ribbons and Lace they may be quite ornamental. Tiie Children. What shall they wear? Especially at his season of the year do anxious moth ers ask this question, for warmer clothing is imperative, and the little people want holiday frocks for their dances, and me-" are to be considered gravely. Dainty rai ment will be required for such festive affairs, so I must hasten to teii you abou a diminutive gown of fine navy serg i or cloth. The waist and hem are trimmed with either narrow ornamented biack braid, black ribbon or velvet. The neck, wrists and yoke border are of red velvet, while the yoke itself is ol ecru guipure over the velvet. The bodice is full and fastens down the back, and is tucked on the shoulders. Navy blue stockings look well, and when at home, or indoors, red mon ceo slippers delight fully complete a satisfactory to let. L jvely is a dress of Liberty wool crepon mi palest green, flowered with wee pink roses. The >cams and eiges are piped with a darker shade of green velvet and the loose blouse worn under the smart Eton jacket is of |a tine wash silk that oes perfectly with the green of the rest. How lovely would an auburn-haired las sie look in a fine wool crepon in a bright hade of tabac brown, with insertion of .ellow lace, and the frills boasting a nar row edge of the same. The. skirt should be inclined and under it should be worn a petticoat flounced with yellow lace THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 5, 189 T. Brown silk stockings and bronze shoes firm a pretty finish. For a very small toy most fetching is a tunic of pale, fawn-colored box-cloth and invisible knickers of the same. White silk cimp is the sole trimming. The tunic is line i with light blue silk and a tie of the same is tied in a graceful bow under the throat. Dancing dresses of accordion-pleated LATE NOVELTIES IN JEWELRY. nun's veilin •, eh ffon, mousseline de soie or India -ilk made to bang from a yoke bordered with two lace edged frills are simple but most lovely, when the accord ion pleating is as full as pos ible. A dear little suit, made of pale blue rep, has buttonholes of white satin. The jacket is worn oyer a white satin shirt, the round collar of which is frilled with white satin. The skirt is kilted. Frocks of sheer organdy run with lace and narrow ribbons or velvet are airy and fairy like— quite appropriate for the dar lings — as are also the tiny confections evolved from organdies nnd mulls. Many a mother delights, in making HMh gar ments by hand, and I have seen some tiiat are truly exquisite in every detail. Small remnants picked up on our shot ping tours will make the sweetest of dresses for the wee girlie at home at small expense, and of all things mothers should not make the tiny maids wear dull colors or model their frocks after their own. However, everywhere it is an acknowl edged fact that American mothers under stand better how to dress their children than any others in the world. Not a mean compliment. I am sure all ap oreciate it. sMaekintoslieg. They are more stylish and satisfactory this year than ever before. All purses and tastes seem to have been taken seri ously into consideration. The water proofs that look like fine twilled woolen fabrics or serges are to be had in dark gray, blue or black, with either a somber or a dark plaid lining. These are ex tremely reasonable in price, but of course not so light, comfortable and stylish as those that are as light and soft as siik and tit perfectly. Bat these are luxuries in which all cannot indulge. The intermediate raincoatr— that is to say, those that are not very cheap or very expensive — have the appearance of being comiortable Scotch tweed ulsters, wi h gay plaid linings. The newest ulster coat has a pleated back and is a manly looking garment. In much ihe same principle is a three-quarter length one, which 1 do not advocate warmly.

Ttiey have silky surfaces and are reported to be most becoming. However, as yet I have not inspected any. Princess Said Tousson's Trousseau. Her gowns have been made in Paris and I London by the greatest and most artistic designers of the day. All should read these descriptions as from the most gor geous gowns we may obtain ideas for many a gown that will be charming, ow ing to its air of chic simplicity. One evening gown was of the richest ivory satin, the bodice embroidered in a design of wood violets of ural coloring, each fljwer having in its center a dia mond dewdrop; pearl and diamante work was also introduced, and the neck is soft ened with a touch of rare old lace. The NEW HOUSE GOWN. sleeves were composed of folds of satin, with a fall of lace, and from the left shoul der at the back from a bow of rich pale orchid ribbon lone ends fell to the hem. The skirt was embroidered un the front de seams and in each fold all round with viole's, the design in every case be ing varied; and round the hem and -lightly up the seams a Louis XV design was wrought in near>s, diamonds and crystal. Very stylish was an afternoon dress of foulard, in which were blended white, green and black. Ribbon velvet of the same color- edged the ruffles on the skirt, ecru being introduced here and therewith good results. The bodice nad a slightly pouched vest of white lisse, which was tucked on the shoulder and trimmed like the skirt with insertion and ribbons, which formed a sort of loose yoke cut up the front. Large green enameled sham rock buttons fastened it. The sleeves were ruched as well as tucked and the bodice was completed with a white satin celt and collar. Most artistic was a light gray poplin lined with chartreuse-hued satin. Gray velvet embroidered with diamonds formed the bodice. It was joined with gray silk guipure showing the green satin lin l.i The yoke was V-shaped, wrought with the smallest tucks. Lace fell over the collar in the back. A draped belt of green satin hnished the waist with a graceful bow at the left side. The epau lettes were of the embroidered velvet and insertion and the sleeves, tucked about the shoulders, had lace ruffles inside medieval cuffs. A beautiful turquoise-blue glace taffeta gown was completely covered with creamy old Honiton lac*. It had a chiffon bodice with Honiton lace applique in crusted with minute crystal and sequins. The sash and collar were of the silK, but the niched sleeves were of chiffon and the I epaulettes of jewel-incrusted lace. Evening dresses are now being ordered so generally that I feel called upon to de scribe two more beautiful conceptions. Ti^is Season's Skirts. For evening wear one that hangs per fectly is alluded to as the new round skirt and is cut all in one p'.ece and frequently has radiating rows of .aces. A beautiful tulle skirt has an upper skirt over it in points, after the peplum or der, embroidered with green iridiscent sequins. '} Almost all of Paquin's skirts open across the front, showing en under petticoat. One of these models 1 saw here about a month ago, but at that time but a few seemed inclined to order this mode, in spite of the fact that it hung so perfectly. | Hundreds of just such skirts are being i worn at the present moment in New York. ' From one of the best houses comes an evening frock that has a straight, dis tinctive panel down the center. Many panels are of velvet or tulle, but contrast ing silks are also employed. Skirls for day wear out of doors must be ground all round and close v fit the hips. A skirt I like belongs to a tailor dress. It has numerous pings extendi ing frdm the waist to th* hips. These are graduated downward in the front and at tbe back. All women should avail themselves of the sensibe fiat that has gone forth con cerning short skirts for street wear, a nothing looks worse than to see a skirt dragging through puddles and over muddy, dirty sidewalks, even if germs were left quite out of the question. Cliit-Ciiat. Flounces are being so well received that soon all gowns will be trimmed with them. At present they are chiefly applied in narrow widths at the foot of the skirt. ''Some are waved half way down, intro duced in order to hide the addition which the necessary fullness about the feet ne cessitates. Some again are carried to the knee, while some are graduated; many cover the entire skirt from waist to hem; while some merely come over the front breadth. .By all which it will appear that there is a great diversity in fashion. Some skirts are li^ed, some detached from the lining; there is no hard and fast rule. Cloth gowns are mostly lined wi h silk. Many flounces are bound with a contrast ing" color or edged with very narrow ribbon." White fleur de velour is coming very much into fashion, as is also the old crys tal silk. White poplin is still being worn by brides. For the moment in Paris navy blue, tabac brown and pearl gray are the favor ite colors, gray being of the exact shade 1 that tones in with chinchilla. Flat rouleaux and stitched bands are the best liked forms of trimming, and the satin rouleaux are often arranged in open trelliswork to show the contrasting color ing. The muffs this season are very orna mental. One of black satin was recently admired. It was made with two or three frills at each end, bordered with narrow sable. Also one of black velvet, gathered so as to finish with a flounce at each end, to come well over the wrists. A crimson bow was at one side and a fresh and per fect rose in the center. A stylish tea gown lately noted is made in one of the new shades of fraise satin duchesse trimmed with revers of a rich velvet of a darker shade, which is relieved by cascades of lace. The sleeves are quite novel and are formed of loops of velvet with lace in between. Crepe de chine ties with elaborately hemstitched ends may be had in every possible color. I liked one beneath a One muslin collar, which had little motif 3of ecru lace let into tho corners. Decorations fop the Jlaip. Some ornamentation is now regarded as absolutely imperative when the hair is dressed. At a largo reception recently two pretty women wore merely a twist of white tulle fastened at one side with an erect bow of bright-colored ribbon velvet ; the b iws were of the variety known as KEW TO-DAT soooooooooooaooooooaooaooaooaoon I Jj [ SOMETHING NEW— A FORTUNE FOR ALL. 0 IS2SOIGOLD«IWORD PUZZLES: LiPU!SUULUof the....

The woodland dove was cooing in a breeze so cool and strong; The streamlet in the valley Sang, too, its evening song. The little yellow buttercaps Were folding one by one.
