THE LATEST FASHIONGOSSIPFORWOMENANDMEN
EVERYBODYis talking about the
dinner dance and the dominoparty. Both passed off withgreat eclat The very youthfulset predominated at the Presidio
and had the most delightful time possi-ble. It was a leap-year affair and the girlsenjoyed enforcing their authority, in fact
thfir sway is being immensely appre-ciated by the beaux. One informed methat three charming maidens were goingto see that he had a eood time, for one ofthem had invited him to dance the co-tillon, another had engaged him for sud-
per and the third, reallyIforgot what thethird had undertaken to do, at all eventsthis young man deserves lots of attention.He has such charming manners and is sounaffected that his head is not in the leastlikely to be turned during '96, and Itrustthe men who have been in the habit of ac-cepting every possible invitation and have
been scarcely civilto their hostesses maybe left severely alone and taught a lewwholesome lessons.
At both of the large teas on SaturdayFan Francisco's four hundred are fullyrepresented.
Much is expected of the MardiGras ball,the management being in most excellenthands, and with such spacious and beauti-ful apartments itshould be a perfect suc-cess and close the season in a blaze ofglory.
Imust now tell you about my illustra-tions, as you see evening toilets are upper-most in my mind, and small wonder, whenIhave seen such a number lately, andfrom now until Ash Wednesday all thepretty girls willbe dancing their feet off,and willdeclare after each dance that theynever had a better time in all their lives.One of the gowns is novel, the back, whichyou cannot see, being entirely of whitetulle over white duchess satin, the frontbeing of the satin decorated with trails ofchrysanthemums, which reach the knee,and trim the bodice as well. Bands ofsilver sequin embroidery are used withespecially good effect.
The white satin frock is exceedinglysimple; but artistic^o a degree, the bodice-being draped with pale green chiffon,caught on the bust with diamond orna-ments and falling with pearl-fringed endsto the hem. The bodice of the third ballcostume is a soft mass of white chiffonscattered with rose leaves, upon whichdewdrops of diamonds appear to havefallen. Round the decolletage are doublefrills of diamond-studded, ace ordion-pleated chiffon, and the full skirt showsthree inches of the accordion-pleated chif-fon studded with diamonds and headed
the rose leaves and dewdrops. Thislast gown is worn by Miss Studholme in"AnArtist's Model," which is running inNew York, and is the creation, of a well-known English house. In the same playis noted a pink satin skirt decora :ed withgold and silver sequins, with lace on theKips; and a plain skirt of pale green has abodice draped like a handkerchief, elabor-ately jeweled ;a green and white-brocadedskirt shows a bodice of emerald green vel-vet with an applique of heavy lace, thetop portion of the sleeves of this beingclost-ntting, with three frills a la MarieAntoinette, while the belt is white.
Adainty gown of white satin is linedwithpale pink, having shoulder straps ofroses, the short sleeves displayine the topportion of the arm bordered with sable;the bodice of this overhanging the belt,which is of pale pink. In the second actthe weary travelers arrive from Paris justin time for the fancy dress ball, and ap-pear in the most interesting of ulsters,"all bearing the Directoire indelibly im-pressed upon their outlines," yet all differindetail. One of drab cloth has facings ofblack and white striped velvet, another ofgray withyellow facings, and perhaps thebest of all is cut like a redingote ana is ofgreen cloth faced with black. The hats forthese are said to oe picturesquely appro-priate, allbeing of the three cornered, orpunchinello shape. All the actresses alsowear huge ruffles of black lace withequallylarge bows.
Another play which has greatly takenthe fancy of New Yorkers is much like"Charlie's Aunt"in character. Itis cailed"The Strange Adventures of Miss Brown."The character of Miss Eupheinia Schwartz,German, girl in an English boarding-school, is taken by Miss Nita Allen. Heracting is excellent and so are her frocks;one has a yellow satin skirt with trim-mings of black lace, the bodice being gaywith many colored spangles; another ofwhite has" frills edged with black, thecolors being of yellow enriched withgold
embroidery, odd combinations being theorder of the day. Of cours«, many stageeowns are appropriate only before thefootlights or for a fancy ball, hut nowadaysonly the cleverest of designers are em-ployed increating such gowns, which nat-urally abound in good suggestions for thewoman who desires to be thoroughly up todate, and that is the reason Iso carefullykeep my readers posted concerning thelatest creations of the stage.
At tne Fortnightly cotillon the girlswere as delightfully pretty as ever, es-pecially those in gauzy, fluffyfrocks, fororgandies, muslins, chiffons and mullsmade even the least beautiful dainty andpretty. Tlifc older members of the clubwore handsome silks and laces. A wiseniaiden never makes the mistaKe of wear-ing a sown of a verydecided hue whichmay clash with other colors, as the resultis bad. However, Iknow of a case wherea very handsome little brunette desired tomate herself conspicuous and well knownfrom the first. She made her debut, verycorrectly, in the whitest of white gowns,and at once realized that dozens of girlswore white, pale blue, light, pink andNile green, so she would nave noth-ing to do with such delicate shades,and forthwith appeared at her nextdance In a most fetching toilette ofcrimson and black chiffon, red roses nest-ling in her hair; -her next venture was. avividorange frock with a touch of green.Both of these costumes were perfectly suc-cessful, the Detite brunette was declared abelle at once, but then she had rarely per-fect taste and all the attributes of a belle,but oh, how the other girls would haveliked to have extinguished her, for suchvivid garments made their dear littlefrocks look so faded and washed out whenshe appeared, and of course this younggirl was very incorrectly garbed, as shedressed as a woman five years her seniormight have done, as far as colors wereconcerned, although to be sure the fabricsand styles were suited to her age.
A gown Igreatly like is the property ofa tall, slender blonde. Itis made of thepalest pink satin, the hem being trimmedwith two rows of white spangled ribbon,roses adorning the fro«t of the decolle-tage.
Black and white has been so popular forthe past two years that most expected thisspring would'see the last of it. However,those best informed write from Paris thatwhite and black will be again worn thisspring and summer. To be sure, there isa considerable difference between blackwith a touch of white and white with adash of black. Nita Allen showed theeffectiveness of this combination wnen sue.had three dozen white ruffles which com-posed her skirt edged with black. WhiteIndia silks sprigged with black wili besoon en route from the East. However,torquoise blue willprobably be the colorof the spring-summer.
The craze for Delft china has been andis so tTeat that designers of fabric combi-nations evidently nave come to the con-clusion that the same shade of blue as wesee in the china on a white ground willbeequally popular in silk, so many of thelatest taffetas (summery-looking weaves)show Delft-blue figures— usually flowers;warp printed in white.
Last summer wehad a new line, and an-other one has just been imported which iefar more beautiful. Itis like cloth of sil-ver, its surface being described as soft and
jglossy, of a perfect silver gray. Many ofthe grass cloths and other linens h"avesmall dots brocaded over them which looklike embroidery.
Organdies and grenadines willbe muchworn. The grenadines are arriving ingreat numbers, some being .as thin asmousseline de soie, while others have largecanvas-woven squares. Many have finevelvet stripes and some have wide, solid-colored stripes alternating with rose vinesthat also form stripes. The dark-groundorgandies are also unusually attractiveand are to be had in black, blue and darkPrussian blue and navy covered over withbeautiful floral designs quite differentfrom the large stiff pansy and rose designsseen a few seasons ago.
*Even newer are
the patterns which show wide stripes of asolid color on a white ground; narrowstripes in rose, lilac, black, blue or greenalternating with white stripes of the samewidth, and all over Persian patterns withfloral and scroll effects in varied colors.It seems entirely too early to begin a
discussion of fabrics which are to figure ingarments for the next two seasons, andyet Lent has always been selected by thosewho prided themselves on being "before-hand
'as the proper time to make up all
the wash dresses at home, so the dealersare hastening to unpack great cases of the
most ethereal weaves suitable for thewarmest weather, while the .snow inmanyplaces is still lyingon the ground.
Allof us are interested in shirt waists,which are to be as popular as ever, soVogue thus replies to a correspondentwho desires to learn what are to be thenewest sum per styles for washable shirtwaists: Shirts for the coming season areto be made of cheviot, linen, percale,batiste, linen, lawn, or in fact any of thewashable materials. The collars are abouttwo inches high, and turn over perfectlystraight, with straight corners cominevery close together instead of slantingfrom wiiere they turn, as fftrmerly. Thecollars are detachable, thus enabling oneto have several for each shirt of thematerial of which the shirt is made, andof white linen. On the shirts of the thinmaterials whichare to be much worn nextseason the collars are of white linen.Sleeves are very full at the top and finely( athered into the armhole. Wherethey join the cuff they are luller thanlast year. Some of the cheviot shirts havebishop's sleeves, butthev are not as prettyas in the thin stuffs,as itmakes them ratherbulky. The cuffs are about three inchesdeep, and are made of the same materialas the shirt and may have square or roundcorners, the square being smarter. Thethin shirts, such as lawn and batiste, havebishop's sleeves and turned-back cuffs,with which no sleeve-links are worn, butbuttons only under the cuff, where it isturned back. If one prefers they mayhave embroidered bands to finish thesleeve. Many of these thin blouses havefancy fronts, insertion let in, eaibroideredbands or fine tucks, and with them maybe Worn satin stocks, and pleated belts ofdifferent colors.
Girls, do not purchase any more blackcrepon for shirts, as those, of black satinare far more fashionable. They must beof good quality, and in the end willproveless expensive than those of crepon, for thecrepon must be made over a good silk,and
becomes rusty and dowdy, while thesatin wears well and makes an excellentfoundation for flounces of black lace,grenadines, etc.
1also give this week a back view of an
bear a close resemblance to the importedAustrian embroideries.
The present fancy for Delft china hascaused the revival of the old onion pattern.Such designs are not easy of execution, asthe work must be closely embroidered inwhite silk, outlined with the blue. Thedesign calls for a round center piece, andis most effective when fringed. The linenmust be very closely outlined in the whitesilk, leaving a margin of two inches; thiscan be frayed out up to the circular out-line without fear of raveling when laun-dried. The onion can be had in different,sizes, suitable for center-pieces, caraffesand individual plates; the last, of course,are only used on the bare polished table.
Itis quite wonderful how fleurs-de-lis asa design for table linen retain their popu-larity. For example, five fleurs-de-lis scat-tered over a piece of linen twenty inchessquare can be made artistic by drawingclose in white filo floss one way, uaing thefinest gold thread to darn across. Such acenterpiece should be scalloped in whitewith pale yellow shot in, forming anirregular upper edge. The same designcarried out in white and that lovely newshade of dull green i3even more to mylikine.
The most exquisite of sets are of thefinest linens and lawns witu insertions ofHoniton and point lace braid in ribbonbow-knot and raised rose designs. Thelatter is made by the lace being put on inrows on the linen, which Is then cut out,that the prevailing color of the luncheonmay appear beneath the roses. These in-sertions and edges may be had in allwidths, doylies being made of the nar-rowest. One set which caused me mo3twarmly to express my artistic satisfac-tion was a combination of the lace braidsand the finest drawn work Ihave everseen.
A delightful dinner table Ialso ad-mired had the Delft pattern carried oatasIhave suggested, and in the centerstood a tall Delft lamp with fluted shaftmounted on a base of the same supportingthe bowl. The napkins each had a tinyonion design inone corneF.
j Among the novelties in Delft ware are
excellent tailor gown. Nothing could besimpler than this costume, and no onecan deny its charms. Itis made ina darkpurple tone of cloth. The large collar isof white kersemere hemmed with a strap-ping of black satin. The coat is loose inthe front and fastens with a double row ofsmoked pearl buttons set insteel, and onthe skirt (and itis an admirable one) thestrappings extend themselves to theknees at the front seams, and these strap-pingsIconsider most disfiguring, and nonovelty of this kind willbe taken up bytoe wise. In all other respects this gownis worthy of commendation and imitation,as itis suitable for all ordinary occasions.
The sacque-backed coat is now an indis-pensable garment for fashionable women.The sleeves are of moderate dimensions,and the back hangs in graceful pleats,which are pre-eminently becoming to mostfigures.
A Redfern gown of black cloth is inper-fect taste, it is of black cloth— the finestladies' cloth made. Ithas a jaunty jacketwith an inner waistcoat of violet velvetshowing a small Vest of white cloth. Ihave seen a model for early spring. Itisa rough, checked tweed dress with a collarand revers of plain drab cloth. Only agood tailor can put these strappings oncorrectly, as itis a delicate and extremelydifficultpiece of work.
In fashionable drawing-rooms tea tablesare never seen now, for at 6 o'clock thebutler or maid serves the tea from a largetray, usually of wood with carved edges,covered with an exquisitely embroideredlace edged cover. A wooden tray is mostused, as one writer wisely remarks that"tne tray may be of silver, but one largeenough for the entire service would be tooheavy," and itshould be remembered thatdemitasses and spoons should never beused for tea.
An ingenious cream and milk pitchercombined has appeared in solid silver; itholds milk inone side and cream in theother. This will be appreciated by teadrinkers, as many maintain that creamutterly spoils tea, while others will havecream', but if tea is not taken a la tlussemilk is most correct.
A cracker jar of crocodile stone andsilver, made inexact imitation of the.curl-ing stones used in the north, is an attrac-tive novelty for my lady's table.
It is hard to realize, but in just aboutthree weeks from to-day Lent begins, sowe are beginning already to hear a greatdeal about fancy work, which can be doneduring the forty days. For instance,many girls like to make pretty and expen-sive Easter gifts. Let us recommend tothem to try for linen picture-frames someof the rococo designs, which long agosuperseded the flowered effects. Whengold thread is introduced in the conven-tional figures the frame is finished offwitha narrow gilt-beading in place of the heavywatered paper. These frames are nowused for dainty bits of landscape as well asfor photographs.
Many sofa cushions are usually madeduring the penitential season, and forthem art linens are to be had in almostevery conceivable artistic shade. Theseare much used for sofa cushions, as is alsoa new material in black and white
—a cross
between linen and denim—
which, em-broidered in ti:e bright silks and linens, isespecially adapted for piano and tablecovers. Sofa pillows of the cloth embroid-ered in heavy all-over scrolls in blues, yel-lows and reds are extremely effective and
candlesticks four feet high, most curious,but remarkably effective. Harcella.
TOE MEN.InNew York the Knickerbocker Riding
Club held their first meeting a few daysago at Durland's Riding Academy. Asusual the fashionable set keep thisclnbvery exclusive, and each year itcontinuesto increase in popularity. It was organ-ized by Livingston Center some years ago,and is now in the hands of Messrs. Fred-eric Pierson and Edward Thomas. Itisan interesting sight to watch the club rideto music and form figures and quadrillesin the ring. After the regular meeting isover the most expert indulge in jumping.When the season i-over the club gives adinner, which is always a social event.
The Knickerbocker Bowling Club is al-most equally successful, and this seasonitis predicted that the competition wi.lbefierce over the "scores rolled up for thesilver bowi." In San Francisco thereshould certainly be a riding club wellpatronized, as the wheel can never takethe place of the horse, and yet how unsuc-cessful all attempts have been of late toform such an organization.
Fox-hunting is very popular in Balti-more, the clubhouse of the Green SpringValley ana the kennels of the EJkridgeClub being well attended.
A man writing to Vogue wants toknowhow he had best have a frock coat madeand of what material, as he is only to haveone such coat. Many are in the positionof this inquirer, so Iquote the reply: "Ifyou are to have only one frock coat itis tobe assumed that you intend to make itlastfor a long time— say two, three or fouryears. You should get a coat which is notextreme in any respect. The men whobuy a great many clothes go from one ex-treme to another. Not so very long agothey were making frock coats reachingmany inches below the knees. There aremen now who have gone to the other ex-ireme and maKe them far above the knee.You will be always right, however, andlook well dressed if your frock coatreaches just to the knee. Th> re is sub-stantially only one material; that is blackvicuna."
"Never have trinkets been less worn thanthis season," is the remark of a NewYorker, and such is the case as nowadays awell dres»ed man never allows his watchto be visible and bunches ofseals are thingsof a bygone generation.
The ultra fashionable are again wearinglong frock coats winch have at once be-come popular and look well on very tallmen. They are being made in gray withDroad collars of black velvet and cuffs.
Green is the color in London, all busi-ness suitings having a mixture of green inthem, and as for ties the rage is for blackties withgreen patterns on them, and thebriclit green Tecks :ire ingreat vogue, andeven cigar-cases are made of green leather,although cigar cases of polished silver areconsidered in good form inNew York.
From New York comes the informationthat the high-banded turned-down collarsare the favorites for informal -dress, andvary inheight from 2% inches to 2 inches.For fulldress the best shape is the newstraight standing collar, which laps at thebuttonhole, the spacing gradually increas-ing until the top of the collar is reached,whim the ends are sli htly poked. Thecollars that stand straight, and breakslightly under the chin, are called pokecollars; however, the bent point collar is
still seen, especially out here, as it hasnumerous advocates.
An unusually deep cuff is being madeby the swell tailors, and "Harbondw ofLondon puts a cuff live inches deep, withthe buttonhole 1% inches from the top onall his shirts." Tiie square-cornered link-cuff ifmost worn at present. Scant cuffs,that reveal part of the shirt-sleeve everytime the arm is stretched, is not to be toler-ated. C. C.

PEOPEE NAMES.Pronounced Like English,bat With the
Bight Syllable Accented.As the English language, has well-settled
rules of pronunciation and is welt able todeal in its own manner with almost anypossible combination of letters broughtinto it from other languages, it wouldseem to be not only permissible, butproper, for English-speaking people topronounce foreign names according toEnglish analogies. It is not incumbentupon Americans or Englishmen to farnil*iarize themselves with Russian, for ex-nmple, before they may venture to pro-nounce the name of a Russian diplomat orIstudy Chinese in order to be ina positionto mention casually some Chinese propername brought into prominence by to-day's
news. Itis enough, as a general rule, togive to the odd combination of sounds pre-sented" to us in dispatches from Janan,Bulgaria, the Transvaal or Venezuela suchutterances as the laws of our own lan-guage prescribe. Hit or miss, life is tooshort to master the orthoepy of everytongue, and we must be content to dothe best we tan in our own way. Espe-cially is this the case with proper namesthat have long had a place in the Englishlanguage and have had a recognized Eng-lish pronunciation. Itis m^re affectationto convert Paris intoParee, or ape the Ger-man pronunciation of the name of Wag-ner, the well-known musician and com-poser, by giving a v twist to the first letter.Paris is Paris and Wagner is Wagner, thenames being common and well under-stood. A person in the first enthusiasmof his acquaintance with a foreign lan-guage may be pardoned for airing his su-perior knowledge when uncommon namesnot .adopted in common English speechare in question, but he becomes ridiculouswhen he undertakes to impart a foreignaccent to familiar names. There is a storyof a New York clerk named Gordon, who,after a month's stay in France, became"Gor-r-rdong" and refused to answer toany other appellation. His case was anextreme one, peruaps, but it illustrates thevice (too common) of using with excessiveostentation foreign instead of the moreuseful and intelligible English pronuncia-tions.
With respect to Latin and Greek propernames a stricter rule may, perhaps, be con-ceded to apply. These languages are theimplements of culture. The rules of pro-nunciation applicable to words transferredfrom them into English are simple andfew, and well within the reach of everyone who pretends to a classical education.A false accent is,accordingly, nnpardon-able, and among classic scholars correct-ness of accent is the accepted test of soundand thorough training. But in the soundsgiven to particular letters there is roomfor the manifestation of vanity or im-mature judgment. Cicero's name duringthe lifetime of the great Roman oratorwas undoubtedly pronounced Kikero,and Ctesar was Kaisar. Other con-sonants and all the vowels werein classical Latin pronounced in a waywhich our English letters once followed,but from which they have now for the mostpart departed. At college itis well tolearnwhat is thought to have been the trueLatin pronunciation. AllKnowledge isuse-ful. But itis unnecessary inquoting Latinafter leaving college to aim at a cainfulConsistency. In respect, indeed, to nameslike Cicero and Caesar, which have beendomesticated, so to speak, in the Englishlanguage, the/usual rule applies. They areto be pronounced like English words, onlytaking care to get the accent on the rightByilable. The English-speaking Americanpeople accept, ir fact, the common-senserule that pure English is always preferableto a potpnilrriof German, Latin and otherpronunciations.

HAPPINESS.Idid not dream,Icould not know,
That life contained such bliss;Tliat from a. tiny germ could grow
Such happiness aa this.
Atlast Iread the lesson taughtInJoy's mys erious eyes
As in some sweet wild creature's, caughtAnd brought me as a prize.
And this is life—that irksome giftIlonged to put away
—The headlong force that strong and swift
Throbs In my veins to-day !Thorp Is ahost ef secret signs
And symphonies haif sung,As ifIread between the linet -Id some forgotten tongue.
And throueh itall a meaning runsIsurely used to know;Imust have lived and felt itonce
lone centuries ago.
A sweet new message lurks betweenThe pulsing waves of light;Dear God, tillnow Ihave not seen
Thy lovelyworld aright.—

Itis one of life's little ironies that theBritish rulers of India won't be able to sellopium to the Chinese much longer, inspiteof a war to open the Celestial ports to itssale. The Chinese are raising itfor them-selves better and cheaper.
