FASHION'S PHASES ELABORATE DRESS NOT CON FINED TO SOCIAL FUNCTIONS, Light Colored Dresses Though Sim ple In Effect, Are Very Costly No Limit to Rich Decorations Upon Dark-Hued Wraps and Gowns. Now York, Jnn. 3. The time has passed where olnborato dress was confined to social functions mid pub lic amusements In tho evening nnd the. fashionable woman ot 1903 finds herself arrayed In gowns elegant enoimh for the grandest reception, with the dlfferenco that the tone Is subdued for street wear. It must be admitted that tho light colored dresses which are so much nf fected this season are very simple In effect, though the materials employed v In their development are costly. But thero is no limit to the rich decorations which are put upon dark hued wraps and gowns as lone as grace and artistic effects obtain. There arc some rather ecentrlc tie- signs among tho New York modes The garment subjected to the greatest number of variations is the Eton Jacket. It seems definitely settled that this useful little bit of feminine apparel has come to stay. A slender and graceful young woman of the Smart Set who remained In town for tho holiday season Is wearing a cute little design. It is carried out in black peau de sole, with a stole front, the latter reaching almost to the hem of the dres and laid in horizontal tucks about an Inch wide. Turning back over tho shoulders to reveal a handsome bodice are revers of white satin covered with black gul pre lace In the fashionable grape de sign. Thick clusters of grapes over hang the edge of the revers and the coat fastens by means of numerous haovy black silk cords held in place by an antique silver button. The sleeves, which are bishop in effect, show a departure from the reg ulation writsband in that fullness at tho wrist is confined simply with n strip of peau de sole and the chiffon faced fullness allowed to fall In French effect over the hand. Panne Velvet in Favor. Panne velvet grows In fashionable favor and is now to be seen in Bhirt waist suits. Black, blue, brown and green, either in plain or polka dot ef fects, with the dots mercerized are especially chic. A becoming design In blue has the skirt made in one with a lining of taffeta. Five alter nate rows of panne and taffeta encir cle the Bkirt and above these there Is a smart pointed hip-yoke. The blouse and sleeves are ornamented with conventional designs composed of bands of taffeta and the narrowest stitchings of panne which stimulates piping. Theiopenlng, which Is effect ed at the front. Is concealed beneath a wide box plait, smartly decorated with exquisite little pearl buttons. No one except a real artist, can ar range the various little button orna ments now so fashlonablo nccordlng to the dictates of fashion. These are sewed on bands of different ma terials to form effects that are almost architectural and the bands are in turn appliqued upon the skirt or bodice Intended to be trimmed. Fol lowing every other feature of fashion, these buttons range from almost nny price. There are cute little carved designs that can be had Tor 25 cents a dozen. There are others, no larger, but studded with mock gems, which bring $25 a piece. Braid fashionable. If there is any particular trimming that Is as fashionable as lace. It Is braid. There is really no end to the charming decorations managed by bringing contrasting braids together, nnd then by means of embroidered knots of stitching giving these an effect mysterious and fascinating, and that demands dissection to be under stood. These braid maneuvreings exist along with genuine embroideries,- which are more cxpensivo trim mings and these pure embroidery ef fects mostly bear evidence of Eastern i Inspiration. An afternoon gown which shows a lather unusual effect Is in robin'H egg uiub crcpo ne unine. trimmed with emnromery and cream-colored lace. ine skirt Is composed of a deep nuuuce oi alternate rows of Insertion ana crepe de Chine depending from a deep Mario Antoinette yoke laid in hemstitched tucks. The gores are feather-stitched together to show tho paier owe llnirg beneath. me bodlco falls loosely over the ueil at tne front, but the hlnnsp of. feet is obtained by a peculiar draping of the crepe de Chlno that Is decided ly circular. Above the bust line there is Inserted in tho bodlco a yoke of im-Kca mousseung appliqued with lace medallions and finished with a deep' border of embroidery showing old rose "delicate green, deep blue and a touch of brown in tho color It (is considered very smart to own a lace skirt which consists of a series of flounces. The laco Is very deep so that :three frills are sufficient for the length of a woman whose height Is Just above the average. Satin and White Silk. Cafe au lalt combined with crim son satin formB an effective gown worn by one of the actresses In a suc cessful Broadway production. Tho foundation ot the skirt Is In white silk and this Is banded with narrow strips of crimson satin set close enough together to bring out the de signs of the lace and at the same time not Introduce too much of the red into the effect. Tho bodice, which Is really a tri umph In the art of dressmaking, has n bolero outlined by widths of satin ribbon embroidered in pink nnd crim son rosebuds. Tho vest Is of very deep cream-colored chiffon and lace. At the shoulders of the elbow 3lecves thero is simply a suggestion of an epaulette made of crimson satin nnd faced with pink. This combination of colors Is qulto tho smartest of the season, superceding even tho mucn-oi' fected orange tints. At the waist line tho bodice Is fin Ished with Grecian sqimrcs also cm' broldered nlonir tho edge with scar let and pink and at the back the squares lengthen Into two graduated streamers which reach to the hem of the skirt. Soft White Hats. Completing this costume Is a hat of soft white effects, trimmed simply with two Jet black birds and touches of white satin. A chic Idea in hats was observed In n smart shop a few dnys ago. It was in a wedding trousseau, In which grey was tho predominating color. The felt was a soft, fleecy silvery grey wreathed with crysanthemums, which were shaded from light to the dark est tones, while the leaves wore deli cately silvered. Indeed chysanthcmuniB nrc among tho most used flowers in the expen sive mlllncry designs- Even mourning bats are trimmed with them, tho Rel ate being of dull black silk. Waitings of pinked out silk and ruches form nnothcr feature on tho fashlonablo hat of today and are so decorative that little other decoration Is needed. Tho bolero and Eton Jacket, as well as Russian blouse finds expression In dainty white cloth designs. Silk or satin braid stitched In nny Blmple design Is used as a trimming. Some; times there may be added bands of fur. If so. these touches show them selves In ehinclillla. squirrel or silver fox- , , u Evening roats composed of nltor- t,ntn immiR of chinchilla and the In this way. For tho opora and even Ing wear, however, nothing Is bo smart nnd becoming. MAUDE GRIFFIN, 7-A GOOD HAS AN ADVANTAGE over a poor wrltir.
