bringing out new styles of dinner and
evening dresses, and costumes for street
wear. Generally the new styles are
chaste and elegant; the richness of ma
terial and the tasteful arrangement of
trimming making the new evening
dresses very attractive. The wide,
round collar, so much worn here, is not
in vogue in Paris. The dress is finished
with narrow band, and small linen
collar is fashionable there for street
wear. -.--.
The dresses are full on the back, with
pufs and bows la Watteau, and the
panier style for the street is much worn.
There is novelty in black lace wells;
wreath in different colors, or in gold, is
wrought around the edge. These wells
are snowy, but it is doubtful if they be-
come general favorites; the prettiest
one on exhibition has a wreath of green
leaves,exquisitely wrought. e NJ z
There is slight advance in the price
of imported trimmings, laces, silks, etc.
The manufacturers of Paris and Lyons
say that as the prices of the necessaries
of life have increased, they must pay
their workmen higher rates, consequent
ly there is little prospect of decrease
in the price of imported materials.
Waterproof cloth, for suits to be worn
in unpleasant weather, is in great de-
mand. A fine and handsome material
for ordinary wear has recently been i'm
ported under the name of the English
waterproof. 1t is superior to all other
kinds, and is in various colors, black or
brown making the handsomest suits.
Nothing new in silks has yet appeared,
though it is reported there will be novel.

grand occasions are of satin and change
able and embroidered silks.
A new and fashionable suit is of Sui
tana red under-skirt with three narrow
ruf1es around the bottom, and over-skirt

Something entirely new and elegant is
of heavy black silk, with satin huting
ten inches wide around the bottom of
the skirt, and headed by narrow box,
plating of satin. The overskirt is open
'front.' and the back, which is in full panier,
is fulled at the bottom and trimmed with
tassel fringe. This overskirt is caught
up at the sides by satin bow and ends.
There are fancy jacket friHs at the belt,
and satin huting to match the skirt set
on the sleeves in form of puffs, and wide
fringe across the shoulders.
Velvet suits are fashionable and ele-

underskirt of some contrasting COLOR
: A suit worn on the street recently, was
noticeable for its elegance. The under.
/ skirt was of scarlet poplin, with three
narrow ruffles around the bottom; the
upperskirt was of black velvet, finished
on the bottom with small silk cord. A
basquine of velvet, with short skirt, com
pleted the suit These suits are in grea
demand, and do not necessarily require
costly trimming, as the richness of the
material render them attractive wher
made plainly.
