A QUEER CosFUME.-A toilette
which, worn by a very young lady,
caused some excitement at Dieppe
Casino the other evening. on ac9
count of its grim sinistrous aspect,
comprised a round sailor hat. bor-
dered With black velvet and trimmed
with charming fresh looking rose.
a white muslin robe, with the corsage
ornamented all the way down with
delicate pink rosettes, and round the
bottom of the jupe a row of CHASTITY
looking human skulls. This union of
roses, of ribbons, and deaths heads,
on the part of one, too, who was both
young and handsome, caused, say the
chroniquers, a real emotion. 1t is
limited that a robe bordered with
skulls, but without the pink resets,
had been commanded by some dis
tinguished parsonage who had lately
lost one she dearly loved, and that her
morbid fancy conceived the idea of
mourning her loss in private, sur
rounded by symbols that should con-
stantly remind her of death and that
the circumstance of her having COM
manded this robe becoming known a
similar one was ordered by the young
lady above referred too, who had it
trimmed In the manner described.

STREET DRESSES. short
dresses are made of silk in two colors.
A scant gored dress with high bodice,
tight sleeves, and skirt just escaping
the ground, has over it a shorter
dress Of another color, made with a
fourreau, low bodice, and long hang
ing sleeves. A mauve dress may
have black fourreau, or black
dress mauve over dress. We have
seen blue silk with Bismark four
reau, and another of apple green with
both black and a gray fourreau.
An economical variety may be given
to lady's wardrobe by having differ
ent fourreau for the same dress. The
fourreau are short and scant, requir-
ing but little material; and if the
colors are judiciously blended the
variety is pleasant. A wide sash is
worn with these dresses. made of the
silk of the over dress trimmed with
ruches of the under-skirt.
Another style of walking dress has
a plain skirt simply fastened at the
waist, over which is worn a gored
dress; waist sleeves aud skirt in one
reaching below the knee, and but
toned down before When tight
fitting these pelisses are worn with a
small round cape falling to the waist
when left loose they are called Ga
brielles, and are worn with a sash.
Maria Autoniette fchus large enough
serve as mantles are added to walking
dresses-an agreeable variety now
These are usually of the same
casionally made of black silk to be
worn with any dress. The lappets
with which they are tied at the back
are long and rounded. Bias rufles
two inches wide are worn on the
lower skirt of short dresses. They
should be neatly bound, and are
usually in uneven numbers-three
five, or seven.
A pretty model for a short skirt is
an under dress of Mazarin blue silk,
with high seorsage, coat sleeves and
narrow gored skirt trimmed with
