Gowns and wraps with velvet lace and jewels flood Manhattan and Paris dressmakers for a brilliant winter opera season. The article details high coiffures, minimal corsetry, and dramatic opera gowns with trains, veiling, and beaded wraps, highlighting velvet gowns, lace, and fur opera wraps for a dignified, formal stage look.
Brides in the community plan a luncheon shower for a longtime generous housekeeper who has given linen wedding gifts. They present linen towels, glass towels, crash towels, and crochet dishcloths purchased to replenish her own scarce supply as she nears half a century of sharing fine linens.
Read about sun rooms heated with steam radiators and Italian pottery accents. Terra cotta jars and blue and white Florentine vases are highlighted alongside glazed pieces reflecting sunlight and supporting indoor plants in winter.
Economize as costs rise by cleaning Oriental rugs at home. Use wool soap and warm water, wash gradually from the edge, keep the rug flat with a weight, dampen not soak, and avoid over-wetting. Brush away dust before cleaning and vacuum to finish, or use a new broom for a quick, thorough stroke. A light snow sprinkle helps revive colors after cleaning.
The article notes a shift to platinum settings and diamond accents for opera wear with lighter, dainty designs. It highlights fashion-forward pieces from Paris and American shops, including ring watches, chatelaine watches, bowknot corsage brooches, necklaces of diamonds, and matching earrings and bracelets.
