Victorian ()ullN Mid I'lMttxi Trim ming* Favored. Now York, Feb. 21. l>uun? Fashion would not Ik> the artist that who Is were she not Influenced, more or less, by every passing fancy. The Influence t?f the itussian Ballet has been direct and noticeable. VVe may glimpse the Hakst note In the brightly colored Jewelry, real ami artificial, now so much the vogue; In the quaint, hand made trimmings, quilling", plotting*, eordlngs and puffings which serve to trim so many of ou r summer frocks of silk and cotton. The matinee for the Itusalau dancers | given at the o|>cra house In Paris, early In the year, was the tlrst real impor tant social event In France since the beginning of the war. The large house was crowded to the doors with a beau tifully gowned, enthusiastic audience. When this same company appeared re cently at the Century Theatre In New York, we were quite as enthusiast le, and they ? received an equally favora ble reception. Night after night the hou.se was crowded with gorgeously,! gowned women and men In evening dress. Our graceful little dancer, Florence Walton, was seen once or twice In the lobby, gowned In one of Lueilo's fanciful evening frocks, caus ing, as one woman remarked,, "every one else to look tame." Ruth St. Den- i his was seen on another evening, tall and distinguished lookiug, watching) with professional Interest every grace ful movement of little I<opokova and her codanceys. While some of the fantasies were 1 rather weird to our Western eyes, all were poetical, the very embodiment of romance, fascinating and inspiring. r>a Slyphldes and I'apllons come nearer to the modern costume than the others ; the costumes of the ftrst are The New Umbrella Skirt. simple to a degree, of pure white tulle against a background of moonlit gar (jen, so real that one eaUi fairly bear the whispering of the trees as tlu-ir it ranches intermingle, anil the rippling of the water back of the small marble temple The skirts are fnll and billowy, and the bodice* tight and basque-like. Tiie costumes of Papillons are of the early Victorian period ; and they are directly responsible for the . present vogue of hand-made trimmings. For taffeta and the printed silks which are now so high in Fashion's favor, for the crisp organdies and daintily figured voiles ami crepes, there is no more practical or effective trim ming than cording, smocking or shirr ing. - - Many of our dance frocks for sum mer will be of organdy or net ; an un usually pretty imported frock of net. shown recently in one of onr exclusive shops, was made with ?n extremely full skirt, gathered at the Waist, equal ly wide top and bottom ; the akirt was hung over a crinoline hip stiffening, and the entire dre#w was trimmed ef fectively with quaint, pleated ruffles. Another effective summer evening gown displayed at the name time was of white Georgette crepe beaded with opaque white beads. The bodice was cut In bolero effect, and the akirt was a charming contrast to the full skirt straight and narrow-looking from the waist to ankles. A narrow beaded gijr dle encircled the waist and caught up a straight panel in the baek. to carry out the bolero effect. City Registration Notice.
