WHAT CHICAGO WOMEN WEAR; BLACK VELVET EVENING FAVORITE, (By Jane English.) The last dans of the opera called forth a more imposing array of evening clothes than ever. Instead of the closing Season having the appearance -speaking of the faehion showing -of the end of things, many of the women either had saved the best of taheir wardrobe that the final evenings might be fresh as to garments, or they lind made recent .visite to the makers- of gowns. As the season wore on, too, black vel- vet gained iu favor, and toward the close these dark garments stood. out against the array of pinks and blues and whites worn by the other women in the box -es, :Mrs. Lockwood Honore wore a black velvet princese with upper sleeves and bodice of pearl studded net. Mrs. Morris Johnston appeared in a princess of black velvet with an'applique of black Chantilly, the low eta bodice finished with the lace, points upward. Mrs. Kellogg Fairbaek, too, wore a Mace velvet princess, the square ueek finished with a gourd neck design in silver bead. The left seam of the skirt was left open to sbow a lining of mac yellow satin. One of the remarkably handsome even- ing gowns of tho last night of the opera was that of Mrs, Ira Nelson Morrie, This was of cream chiffon, the kiniona waist made over white Chantilly. The sleeves were of fourth length, the chif- fon veiling the Inee closely and edged with a narrow band of crystal. Over the shoulders the chiffon was sewn with verishaped crystals -seven lines of them, about one-fourth ineh apart. The sur- plice fold about the neck was edged with a earrow band of real Valenciennes 'maim).

Miss Chatfield -Tay. lor has much of the general style which has individualized her mother, and ap- parently she has the same taste m gowning. Neither the mother nor the daughter over wears gowns of much trimming -usually the plain, straight lined costume without u great deal of fuss. The pearl studded gown, however elaborate, it may sound, was simple in its straight lines Mrs. We 'W. KirnbalJ " wore a white satin dress, the sleeves of flat gold, lace. In the box she wore about her shoulders a scarf of white satin with border of ermine, and for her everting wrap with this gown there was a eoat' of white satin with four deep tueks forming the sleeves and a row of large button e running down the back. Mrs. F. W, Upham wore a peacock blue chiffon over satin, of the new shade, and about, her shoulders was thrown a scarf of pale blue chiffon. Mrs. W. G.
