yanities Which Make the Money

The new STYLES Of dress are very pecu-
liar in few particulars, and deserve
more than passing notice. They de-
pend altogether upon the grace ana taste
Of the wearer TO make them becoming
They are costumes, dainty snd artistic
or dreadfuly dOwdy, according to the
instinct, refinement and cultivation ol
the Wesrsr. Pdniers have been all the
rage for some time past, and are still
very much worn, though it is r1mored
that the pdnier panic is quietly su6siding
In New York, and this will no doubl
produce corresponding lull in the ex-
element here. The beautiful embroi-
dered robes, the choicest fabrics OF the
season, contain no material for pdnieTs,
and this fact, turning rejoicing over their
splendor into the deepest anxiety, Will
ultimately cause the ruin OF the famous
pdnieT.
Suits of heavy, double-fsced English
waterproof cloth are very fashionable
this season, and for warm, durable, eeo-
nOmicsl winter service, there is nothing
more desirable. There are alSo suits OF
dark linsey-a material similar to water
proof-trimmed with a broad, heavily
corded, black wooden brsid, called "Her-
y
for outdoor exercises. a good, useful
style In which TO make them is with g
sipgle skirt, walking length-Hungsrian
pelisse-lined to the waist with canton
flannel, belted and ornsmenteG upon the
sides with single wide military sssb,
and edged with fringe. A small cape
may be added to the pelisse fer warmth,
lined with flannel, in which case an or
dinary lining will be sufficient for the
waist OF the pelisse. These are very
useful costumes, besides looking well,
ard less expensive than goods formerly
adopted for street wear.
The Scotch poplins, or the scarlet and
blue and green checks are very nice
for house dresses, wearing clean, and al
ways looking tidy and handsome. The
skirts Of these dresses have no trimming
they are made long st the back, and full,
with large gathers; to the belt is added
rosette, back and front; the waist is
trimmed square with black velvet and
chenille fringe, if liked, and leaf rosettes
are made for the tops of the sleeves.
This is new design, and is very much
In vogue.
Popiin velotr, heavily corded fabric,
makes s. very handsome dress, quite a
handsome Indeed as silk, and much more
effective than common silk. 1t is most
fashionable In pearl gray, garnet, GRIM
son ard black.
Heavily colored black silk, made short
or long, is still very much worn as 8
street dress, and being difficult to soil, it
is very desirable at this season OF the
year. Some ere made with double skirt,
not Iooped up, and worn with tight short
bssquee. Lace on the basque and upper
skirt, headed with passamenteriei is the
most elegant trimming.
A blue cashmere or blue and white
plaid poplin, or the red and black Rob
Roy, are suitable fo7 indoor dresses. Let
the SKIRT lust sweep the door. A ten
inch ii9unce, bias, and bound with silk
Of the prevalent color of the plaid is very
eiegsnf. Above the flounce should be 3
crosscut strip OF the material, edged
with silk.
A very beautiful and stylish walking
dress is made of maize-colored Ture
satin. Fiat bands of black satin, en-
hroidered with maixe-colored satin, trim
the close fitting coRsage. The skirt 10
short in front, and long at the back.
Around II are two rows Of satin box
plating, each row divided down the CEN
center by q piIing OF the same. A
bertha Is made OF black satin, lined with
white silk, headed By anareow ruff1e and
richly embroidered. The sleeves are
straight, and have pointed cuffs tomstch.
Satin waistbelts with large rosettes are
very tasteful. From each side falls 8
long and wide embroidered satin tab
these tabs knot loosely at the back snd
beneath them Is O scolloped satin band
which supports the painter. An em.
broidered collar and undersleeves should
, be worn with this costume.
A beautiful walklng-dFees Is also made
