EUROPEAN WINTER Fashions.
1t is now time to begin to speak def
nitely of winter fashions, and coming
first under our notice are the materials
most in vogue poult de sole embrol
dered certainly is one. They are no
longer the same pattern as last winter,
but are now embroidered in black and
white, initiating lace, forming sort OF
waved band crossing over stars, wreaths
or boouets OF flowers of all kinds. This
pattern may be seen on blue, light bi own
or violet, as also upon black but then
all the embroidery is white. These
dresses need no trimming.
Although many ladies have adopted
the fashion of plain skirts, 1t must not
be supposed that trimmed skirts are not
we'll worn. Indeed, we have only to call
onr readers attention to the variety OF
very elegant pasaementerie to convince
them this is by no means the case. The
novelty of the moment consists in placing
above the hem, wide band of passe-
menterie, forming also pattern up each
breadth We have seen this In black
and gold, upon violet satin, and black
and silver upon blue MORE.
Wemust still record that the gold and
silver are greatly in favor. Other passe
monterie trimmings are made In a series
of rings. or plain leaves interlaced, and
nut on in distinct ornaments upon each
breadth.
AS to the plain skirts, they are gener-
ally scalIoped round the bottom, ant
edged with thick d, in which is twl'
, ted thread of gold or silver. Linse!
y and knickerbocker are worn as earl.
: morning dresses, and these heavy ma
terials are made with vest and waist
coat. or chemise russo of embroidere'
cachemire. The tight high body is no
admissible, at least, only with basque'
and opened in front over a waistcoat
perhaps of embroidered percale-or pilates
} muslin. :,
