Not Kimonos. Giddy as those intimate garments designed to electrify a woman's privacy, new evening coats imitate kimonos. They feature gold dragon, purple Mxards, and green snakes on silks and satins in loose Chinese cuts. Colors include black, buff, orange green, blue, or white. A theater crowd in such attire seems like a fancy dress ball. Half length coats with sharp front cuts and silk braids are favored, full length sleeves with color at collar cuffs and buttons. Skirts are short and pleated, with the main fashion being a chic long coat sometimes.
A reader describes a China wedding anniversary celebration with understated decor using china pieces. Gifts emphasize porcelain keepsakes and place cards on china plates.
