MnGA made Of elotA, ard iiclly smbroid-

excellent taste, snd very snieable to Be worn
| with costumes inside Of cloth, 20 popular last
winter in the Faubourg St. German. They
are Of blue cloth, bsa.ded with black SOU
tache, aud bordered with bands Of otter; also
/ black cloth braided With black and edged
with squirrel, formed exceedingly pretty
mufs.
i Another variety consists Of scarlet velvet
4 cloth. embroidered IN gold, and decorated
either with ermine or white fox but these
are fancy muffs, which will find but few pur~
chasers and copyists.
The d.esses trimmed with fur are exquis-
Il its One was evidently nsde from she mode
Of the robs the Empress wore ct the las,
opening Of the Chambers. The material il
white satin, and three bands Of Russian ga
bes' tails are arranged at the bottom OF the
!. front breadth Of the sk,rt. A single band
commences at each side Of the waist ant
deecends the skirt, 20 ~ to simulate . man.
teau de cour. The small pdfetot with wide
sleeves is likewise trimmed with single
band of sables tails.
A short costume which attracted my no.
tee was made Of amethyst velvet; the skir'
is cut out around the edge in deep vandykes
, and worn over an amethyst silk petticoat
the vandykes bordered with q narrow bant
of very dark otter. The pdletot takes tn.
form of . man,elet with square ends but il
not trimmed with fur at the back. A bane
| of otter is laid on to simulate large collal
| with long ends, ard thus has the effect of
victorine. A small toquet, composed entirel,
Of otter, accompanied this toilette, which il
called "a skating costume"
Il | also remarked specimens Of toqnfts mad'

nets in the fdnchon form, and made also en-
tirely OF fur, we're even newer than thes
toquets. Those composed Of grehe, and ties
with blue velvet strings, are exceedingl.
pretty.
Chinchilla and sable are 10 be the popula
furs during the forthcoming winter, so hea
on good authority. There are great man
t dresses trimmed with chinchlla at the Exhi
n bition, and the most elegant, in my opinion
is of Empress. blue velvet The skirt is Dor
dered with chinchilla. and the rertrs on tn
patetot are likewise of chnchilla, very simple
but extremely effective.
