GOSSIP ON DRESS.

NANy evening and dinner parties are given every
year in the month of February; and the latter, not
I ,aing so large and ceremonious as those at Christ-
mas
.and New Year, are called very often dinners en
fanalle, as they combine quiet enjoyment with ease
and simplicity. Special toilettes (says the &aeon)
used to be made up, for these and grander occasions,
of rich heavy brocade-like stuffs with magnificently
trimmed trains, and bodices cut low or half-high.
Flowers were not considered sufficiently dressy, but a
profusion of jewels "quite the right thing." Now
fashions have changed very much, and lighter though
equally elegant materials are worn, especially for
select dinner-parties. A robe of light or dark faille
trimn ed with lace, plush, and velvet, made high at
neck, or opening over a vest or chemisette-plastron of
white lace beaded crepe de chine, etc., a flower orna-
menting the corsage, and a stylish coifure fastened on
with jet or tortoise-shell pins, would be a very appro-
priate style, and is one of many dinner-toilettes dis-
played lately at a fashionable dressmaker's in Paris.
Another very pretty stylish robe of Chantilly
lace and striped mahogany Peking, arranged
differently on each side, had a high corsage open
over a lace waistcoat embroidered with coloured
bugles, and half-sleeves with frills to match; cut
bead pendants put on at short distances trimmed the
edge of the paniers on one side, while on the other a
diagonal trimming of ribbon bows connected by
beaded silk stripes disapppeared beneath the puffed
back-breadths. Some very beautiful combinations
scarcely suitable for very quiet dinner-parties must,
however, be mentioned. They are composed of
figured and plain silks in coral, old pink, and antique
violet, Nile and serpent green, aril many other
colours; the figured material forming a panel or
band in the centre of each breadth, and when the
design is of broche satin or damasse the same colout
the effect is exquisite. Figured velvets on a silk
ground are also extremely rich in appearance; and of
patterned velvet gauzes very elegant toilettes may be
arranged with self-coloured faille. If the gauze is
used sparingly, and the corsage made high, such a
dress may be worn for small dinner occasions.
Fashions this winter may without doubt be called
reasonable in most respects, and all exaggerations
seem gradually disappearing; even the tournure will
soon be a thing of the past, for many of the new
habit-bodices have long bast-Ines at the back, which
do not sit properly over a large padding of the
exalted kind worn till now; indeed, improvers are
already lower and rounder in shape. A veto has also
gone forth that hats are to lose their towering crested
shapes and trimmings; but, as every change in fashion
takes place by degrees, we must not expect to observe
any sudden alteration. The low Spanish boleros and
flat toques worn so much by young ladies show, how-
ever, a leaning towards better things, and strengthens
the hope that low shapes may in time appear again.
Evening toilettes were never more elegantly or more
becomingly made than at present. Some of the
modes introduced this winter combine economy and
elegance in no little degree; as, for instance, the robe
with two bodices, or bodice and casaque forming a
visiting and dinner toilette, is rapidly gaining favour.
These toilettes are extremely useful and most appro-
priate for both occasions when made with skill and
taste, but may easily turn out a failure rather than a
success when the two styles are not so judiciously
combined that each becomes in itself a perfect whole.
When carried out in two colours or two shades of one
colour such dresses look extremely well.

Die Queen has the following article or. Economics
in Dress :" I think most people will agree with me
that economy is rarely, if ever, pleasant. There are
persons who begin to economise early in life, and to
whom the habit has become so much a second nature,
that, even when the necessary no longer exists for
being thrifty, they cannot relapse into liberal spend-
ing ; but these are the exceptions. Most human beings
find it a dreary duty to have to consider the half-
pence, and to make one shilling do the work of two;
but it has become a matter of necessity to so many
that a few hints on the subject may not be unac-
ceptable. My first piece of advice would be to have
as few clothes as you possibly can, consistent with
your requirements, and to take care—the very
greatest care—of what you have. The good appear-
ance of a gown much depends on how it is put on for
the first time, and how it is put away. Try on your
dress when it comes home; see that the right number
of strings and buttons are properly fastened-
that the skirt does not fall too low at any point—for
a soil on the edge takes away from its newness more
than anything, and a seam that drags, and is worn
dragging, will never come really right, and not even
the best of dressmakers are infallible. I consider,
however, it is an economy, when the money suffices
(for there are many scales of spending where thrift is
important), to go to the first-rate dressmakers for at
least one or two dresses annually—not perhaps
those who charge unreasonable prices for their name,
but good chamber dressmakers who have a well-regu-
lated workroom, with a staff whose duty it is to see
that nothing is sent home imperfect, and who use the
best of stuffs for linings and trimmings. The most
costly thing you can buy now is inferior bead
trimming, which second-rate dressmakers are so fond
of using. The hollow beads break easily, the threads
give way perpetually; if you have to be continu-
ally repairing you will rind youLaolf oonbtesntly ao
employed, or otherwise you will present an untidy
appearance. Do not judge by a cursory glance when
buying trimmings: look well into them, and you will
find that the tambour stich, employed on many well-
looking appliques, is mere sham stitch, which, when
once it begins to go, disappears directly, and leaves bare
spaces. It is quite true that, except at the sale tire es
it is almost impossible to buy good bead trimmings
except for a fair sum of money. The best cut jet is
most durable, and no other kind is half so serviceable
in the end. The same remark applies to the cord
trimmings now fashionable. You may possibly buy
some for a few pence less per yard than the better
kind, but they will prove the dearest in the end, for
the silk covering is of the thinnest, and will soon let
the cotton foundation show.

NEVER be induced to turn a dress inside out when
you put it away, it creases it and spoils the trimmings.
Dresses should be kept hanging in bags which button
down the:front, so that the folds are not disarranged in
putting them in. If you ever happen to see the number
of gorgeous gowns belonging to Royal ladies, and
only worn occasionally, you would find that they are
all suspended in a long range of cupboards, each dress
hung in its separate bag, the lace specially covered
with silver paper, the bows stuffed out with paper,the
trains allowed to drop to their full length, and air
and light skilfully excluded. I have seen Court
dresses and others put away wrapped in sheets by
maids who did not understand their business, with
the result that half their freshness must of necessity
be lost thereby. Blue paper is the best preservative
for white gowns, and it is a good plan, where a white
dress is likely to be put away for same time, to sew
blue paper inside the holland bag, and pin a loose sheet
over the top and bale of the bag. Bodices should be
laid down flat on shelves, the bows stuffed, and each
bodice carefully wrapped up and kept from the great
enemy—dust. Furs should be well beaten, taken out
from time to time, covered with insect powder, and
sewn in a holland bag. If you have a camphor-wood
box, or box made of highly-smelling wood, keep your
fur in it.

I NAVE found the cardboard boxes very strongly
made which are the length of a ball skirt, and are
furnished with a couple of hooks, so that when set on
end they form a sort of hanging wardrobe—the best
of boxes for keeping ball dresses uncrushed, and they
can stand in any easy corner, and leaves more space
in the wardrobe.

IN choosing ribbons with an eye to economy, it is
well to select the reversible and to abjure velvet—it
spots, crosses, and becomes shabby quickly; at the
same time it has a beauty all its own. If money were
no object, there are occasions when I should strongly
recommend it. For example, with cream crêpe de
Chine cream velvet looped bows are particularly
pretty, but how long would they keep in good con-
dition?

I MUST return to homely counsel on this subject of
economy. A great secret in making money do its
duty, and in tempting it to stretch out to its furthest
limit, is to keep clothes and their adjuncts in order.
When lace is dirty, for example, send it at once to the
cleaners; do not wait till you need it; the chances are
it will be wanted on the spur of the moment, and, if
not ready, money will have to be needlessly spent to
replace it. Everybody who desires to dress well
should have a lace bin. I prefer one made with a
front to open downwards having a series of trays
which draw out, so that the separate kinds of lace can
be kept distinct, but they may be equally well dividtel
by layers of cardboard. Lace is the best and most
economical trimming there is for many articles of
dress, and even if you do not happen to have a good
store of real lace, the machine-made is now so excel-
lent that it lasts a long time. Another hint, derived
from seeing a little behind the scenes: If
you have made up your mind to have one or two
good dresses from a leading dressmaker, do not
leave the ordering of them till the height of the
season, when there are a number of Drawing Rooms
and State balls going on, and the workrooms are
so over-crowded you can hardly expect to get the in-
dividual attention you would have a right to expect
at a busy time; and pay ready money. To people in
business
ready money is a great consideration, and
they are apt to give a preference to those of their
customers who are considerate in that way. There is
more evil done in the world by want of thought than
want of heart; but many women would be more
prompt in their payments if they understood how
valuable the nimble shilling is. Lists should be care-
fully kept of everything in the wardrobe, and the de-
ficiencies supplied as soon as they occur—a far
better plan than being ignorant as to belongings,
and spending money, as many of us frequently do,
on articles which we actually have and do not know.
Keep your accounts closely. If you reduce your
expenditure to a system, you will find money ii
rarely wasted, and women are apt to be lavish in
small sums, from which they derive little advantage,
I though they tell up astoniihingly. Few of the
weaker set to whom economy is an object can

dul ge in that five-pound note "for peace andeomfort" •

TERRIBLE DISASTER ATr SEA.
FOUNDERING OF A LONDON EMIGRANT
SHIP.-MANY LIVES LOST.

A Reuter's dispatch received from Pernambuco, on
Monday, said: The British ship Kspunda, bound
from Plymouth to Australia with emigrants, has been
run into by the barque Ada Melmore, of Belfast, 500
miles from Muck). Both vessels subsequently
foundered. Three hundred and four persons were
drowned.

Lloyd's agent at Bahia telegraphed on Monday that
the Ulysses, a French barque, has arrived there,
having on board the survivors of the Kapunda, from
London for Australia, which had been lost at sea
owing to a collision with another vessel. A pot tion
of the crew and passengers were saved, but the rest,
203 in number, had been lost. The Kapunda had
been in collision with the Ada Melmore, a barque,
from Coquimbo to England, with ore, which vessel
had sustained extensive damage, and had proceeded
for Pernambuco in imminent danger. _

The Rapunda left London on December 11, bound
for Freemantle, Western Australia. She was an iron
Alp of 1146 gross tonnage; built at Dumbarton in
1875, classed 100 Al, and owned by Messrs. Trinder,
Anderson, and Co., London. When the vessel left
Plymouth she had on board 313 souls all told, 272
being passengers and 41 crew.
Lloyd's agent at Pernambuco telegraphed on Mon-
day afternoon that the Ada Malmore, barque, of Bel-
fast, from Coquimbo, and the British ship Kapunda,
from Plymouth for Australia, had been in collision,
and both vessels had sunk south of Maceio. The
former lost two and the latter 302 lives. Part of the
crew and passengers were picked up by the Ulysses,
French barque, and landed at Rio, and part of the
crew and passengers landed at Maceio. The Ada
Melmore was an iron bargue of 591 tons, built at
Glasgow in 1877, and owned by Messrs. W. Porter
and 83ns, Belfast.

A further telegram from Lloyd's agent at Bahia,
dated Monday, 3.50 p.m., states: "Part of the crew
and passengers picked up and landed hsre. The
names of the crew saved are—Cottrell, Norman,
Meaks, Anderson, Hughes, Gordon, besides Forbes
(?and) Maunter (?who) remained on board Ada. The
following is a list of passengers saved: Wiggins,
Barnes, Daly, Russell, O'Calahan, Sandford, Reece,
Broadhurst. All females perished."
A correspondent states that the Kapunda left
London on December 11, and called at Plymouth on
the 18th of December. She was bound for Fremantle,
Western Australia, and had on board four cabin
passenger, 268 steerage passengers, Dr. Bentham
(the surgeon in charge), and a crew of 40. She
was commanded by Captain John Masson, who
had been a number of years in the serviee of the
owners. The vessel had about 600 tons of general
goods on board and 300 tons of stone ballast. She
was lightly loaded, drawing only 15ft. 2in. when she
left the dock. She was under the full operation of
the Passenger Act, and subject to the regulations of
the Board of Trade. She has several times before
carried passengers to Australia. Messrs. Trinder,
Anderson, and Co.. the owners, received no message
with reference to the calamity except through Lloyd's,
but on hearing of it they at once cabled for particu-
lars. From the fact that the owners have not re-
ceived any intelligence from any officer or member of
the crew, it is surmised that the captain and officers
have gone down with the vessel, although, on the
other hand, there is a hope that some of the passengers
or crew may have been saved by the colliding vessel. •
Calculating from the time of the arrival of the
Ulysses at Bahia it is conjectured that the cata-
strophe must have occurred shortly before the
Bapunda reached the Equator, probably off the
Azores. She was navigated by one of the ablest
skippers and most experienced officers in Messrs.
Trinder, Anderson, and Co.'s service, the captain and
first officer having been in the employ of the firm
for some years. She was one of the vessels built
specially for the firm, and was in all respects a well-
found and thoroughly equipped vessel. In fact, she
carried one man in excess of the number required by
the Board of Trade regulations to navigate the vessel.
It is remarkable that she only carried on this voyage
one family in the cabin, that of a Mr. Wm. Field, who
was on his way out to the colony with his wife and
two children. The vessel, however, did not habitually
carry many cabin passengers, her accommodation for
them being somewhat limited. All the remaining
250 emigrants were steerage passengers, mostly of the
poorer classes, including a number of Scotch and Irish
peasants, who were going out to Western Australia in
the hope of bettering their fortunes. The greater
number of these embarked at Plymouth on or about
the 18th of December, since when nothing has been
heard of the vessel.

The following was received from the Colonial office:
—" The Kapunda was chartered by the Crown Agents
for the conveyance of emigrants to Western Aus-
tralia, and sailed from Plymouth on the 18th of
December. We are requested by them to state that
there is obviously some error in the telegram from
Bahia, which states that 360 of the passengers and
crew were drowned, whereas there were only 313
souls on board, viz., 268 emigrants, four cabin pas-
sengers, and 41 crew."

Although a request for information had been telea
graphed on Monday and again on Tuesday to Bahia,
no further news concerning the loss of the Kapunda
had been received by the owners, Messrs.
Anderson, and Co., up to six o'clock on Tuesday
evening, nor had the Crown Agents for Western
Australia received any intelligence up to that time in
response to a telegram which they despatched in the
morning to Lloyd's agent at Bahia. Messages and
telegrams seeking information about missing friends
poured into the owners' ofnces throughout Tuesday,
and the neighbourhood of Messrs. Trinder and
Anderson's place of business presented an animated
scene. All inquirers were afforded every information
possible, but, in the absence of direct news from
Bahia, this was of course but little. The names of
those saved by the French barque Ulysses and
landed at Bahia, as telegraphed on Monday, are now
corrected as follow: Passengers—Henry Barnes, 19,
single, Notting-hill, London • Philip Daly, 27, single,
Dublin; Robert Sandford, 23, single, Downpatrick ;
Robert Wiggins, 18, Notting-hill, London; Cornelius
O'Caliaghan, 26, Ballyhorgan, Ballyduff ; Noah Broad-
hurst, 42, married, Ilkeston—this man's wife and
eight children were drowned; William Reece, 40,
married, Spennymoor, Durham—this man's wife and
seven chiidren were drowned. A passenger named
Russell was saved, but it is not known who of the
three men named Russell he is. The members of the
crew saved were—William Cottrell, first mate;
Andrew Forbes, carpenter; F. Meick, emigrants'
baker; A. Anderson, able seau..an; T. Gordon, able
seaman; J. Hughes, able seaman; W. Norman, ordi•
nary seaman; L. Maunter, ordinary seaman. The
actual numberof persons missing is 298.
Mr. William Field, who, with his wife and two
children, was among the lost, was head master of
the Oval-road Board Schools, Croydon, until De-
cember, and left Croydon for an appointment at Free.
mantle.

Mr. Joseph Liddell, who, together with his wife
and child, is missing, was a mate on board one of
the large steamers which trade from Freemantle,
Western Australia, and had been spending the
summer with his parents at Newry. He embarked,
on returning to his duties, on board the Kapunda at
Plymouth.
In reply to a telegram sent from Lloyd's to their
agents at Bahia requesting further particulars as to
what boats left the Kapunda and the chances of there
being any further survivors beyond the 16 already
mentioned, the following reply has been received,
dated Bahia, Feb. 1, 3.35 p.m.: " Kapunda sunk
almost immediate lty on Jan. 30, at 3 a.m. Impossible
to lower boats. No chance of further survivors. A
further report states that the Beltnore (Ada Mel.
wore?) foundered at sea; crew landed at Maceio."
