the entire edge applle«l with the Mexl-
can-stltch braid. ■ The sleeves are com-
pletely covered by the rennalsance lace
which falls gracefully over the hands.
From under the lace a double fall of
the broadcloth finishes a fascinating
sleeve

By our Special Correspondent, Miriam
Spier.
Amnrf gentle folk and throngs of
•manages ime wends one's way with
difficulty to the entrance of the Opera
House, nnd pausing for a few moments
to review the endless strohm of richly
clad pa*-~n one Is really dazzled by
the dlsnlny of Jewels and elegance. Ma-
tron and mai'1 are alike dressed In
gorgeous array, and one marvels at the
apparent Indifference which displays lt-
pelf regarding the exposure of their
maenlfirent Jewels.
The flrM glance of the observer rests
on the outside garments, which are oft- I
times more elaborate than the gown
beneath, and this gar nt Is worn until
the fair one Is about to be Stated, thus
giving th admiring throng ampie
c'.ance to Judge and approve. i
Installed In a place so situated that )
one may be the observer and not the j
observed, one ejoys a veritable feast |
of loveliness. The spacious auditorium ;
with Its rich decoration. Is'indeed a
frame worthy the many fair pictures, of
r'stely American women, and here." of
nil places, one will see the smart set
well represented, each one magnifi-
cently gowned. Only at social affairs
fftfr-r. by the CI. ngulshed elite would
gowns towels of such beauty be
displayed. t-ut here one Is granted the
r*"'"liege of gazing upon a scene of un-
f,-"-4 brll'lancy.
As each newcomer enters her box.
one's attention Is naturally attracted,
and the Impulse to raise the opera glass
to admire and reflect Is but human na-
ture. Tbr-~v i- - o r le. this
•s"ght breach of etiquette Is permissi-
ble.
Regal Display of Jewels.
1 jrartually the^ seat? • pit and
tiers of boxes are being filled, and the
r grows more dazzling to the ob-
si~ er. As the wraps are thrown back,
one Is treated to the regal display of
Jewels—crowns, necklaces and stom-
achers abound. One hears whispered
about that t'.^y are too beautiful to t e
real. It is not an unusual s igtu
to see a fair patroness with an
array equal to that of royalty.
A crown of d'nmr.r. ^ r, ->n t;,n

select pearls encircle ♦ *- throat, oft-
times gathered and caught at one side
with some Jewelled ornaments. The
corsage is Invariably embellished with
either a spray of flowers or nu-
jramn* sunbursts of graduated sizes;
then ther* are bracelets and rings

Flowers, both natural and artificial,
are en regie for the younger s t. and
with the coiffure arrananged high >n
the head, a wreath of tiny pin!; rose-
buds with dewdrops of crystal. Is bn-
wltchlngly pretty crowning one of our
aristocratic American faces. The
wreath of green leaves, wlch the addi-
tion of flowers of gold. Is quite the
j latest and most fascinating. Maiden-
j hair fern of velvet is graceful, and is to
be had In several delicate tints.
Wraps and Novelties.
One very fetching novelty, and some-
what on the lines of a Grecian band or
rather two bands, of gold tinsel braid
about the thickness of one's finger
These extended about the head, and
were caught behind either ear with a
bunch of silver grapes of minute dimen-
sions. For the debutante, simplicity of
design for the coiffure is most appropri-
ate. und to be quite in the latest vogue
she must wear some kind ot a head or-
nament.
One of the most Important articles of
finery for the opera Is the wrap, aqd
here again is found a veritable sea to
select from of every description and
for all occasions. The evening wrap
Should be of a very simple design, ao
as not to detract from the elaborate
gown beneath but the modistes this
season have utterly disregarded this
old but rather good argument and have
taken every conceivable manner of
decoration Into their handa and man-
aired to use a goodly share of the eve-
ning wraps. It Roems but the natural
course of events that white should still
hold first place In the favor of so many,
for no other color seems quite as fitted
for this nartlculnr garment's require-
ments Firstly. It harmonize^ with nny
shade of gown or hat. and It Is other-
wise attractively drossy when built on
the very simplest lln^s. In fact, a tai-
lored white chiffon cloth evening wrap
with absolutely nothing In th« trlin-
jning line but. perhaps consecutive rows
of stitching Is quite the smartest model
one could wish to wear.
Of course lace is very handsome on
the white wraps when combined with
fur. and exceedingly rich In effect.
Chenille Is quite popular as a trlm-
mlo" with a touch of black, would
seem a most fitting, embellishment for
almost any shade.
Dainty Wreath for the Head.
The coiffure represents the latest
Ideas In evening wear, having the Boft
becoming pompadour In front and the
gratefully arrunged coll dressed high
upon the head. Around the coil rests a
wreath of Intertwined white satin rib-
bon with the dainty clusters of tiny
Hush roses at equal Intervals, cul-
minating In a larger cluster which nes-
tles closely to the pompadour In front.
For almost any evening affair this slra-
ple and neat creation la very correct.
The work of changing the gauge of
the Mexican National Railroad has
been completed nt a coat of $13,000,000
gold, and the entire road, which was
until a year ago the longest narrow-
gauge rallr' In the world. Is nowr
Standard gauge from Laredo to
City of Mexico.

Dinner Wrap.
niack silk renassance lace with an
overlay of pllsse chiffon between the
lace, has many features to recommend
It. Falling full from the shoulders,
there is a double ruche of pllsse chiffon
posed down each side of the front, and
this also passes arqund the edge or the
•g"-ment. which reathes Just below the
hlns. The sleeves are artistically made
with a very, wide Inserted puff of the
chiffon In the back of the sleeve this
falling free of the cuff. A double ruche
finishes the neck and affords warmth
as well as smartness.
