Dresses and Suits.
At Madame Harris, Brevo0rt place, We saw some
genuine novelties in dresses and SUITS One very re-
markable costume was In the style Of Louis Quinze,
and first saw the light beneath the magic temple OF
Worth, the prime minister Of fashion in Paris. The
skirt is nounced In points and the Overdress is Q
casaque with corset waist, terminating In large pufs
forming the panier, deep points in 'front.' and the
whole trimmed with handsome ruchings Of lace and
bows. Another costume from the same house. called
the Marguerite, . name-colored silk, beautifully
shaded, also attracted much attention. It is
trimmed with full plaitings Of gauze de
Chambery, Of the same color. The skirt is COM
posed or TWO parts, arranged In q curious manner.
The front skirt is brought around to the back and
falls gracefully over second skirt behind. An ex
ceedingly pretty little casaque accompanied it.
Many costumes were Of that beautiful and durable
French material foulard imperatrice, OF chanReabe
cOlOrS, such as lavender shot with brown and other
coIors similarly united The eject is very pretty
and for spring or summer dress these foulards cam
not be surpassed. Fiity dollar croauet suits, spe-
mer wear there were handsome embroidered white
muslin suits, trimmed with Valenciennes lace, and
also some elegant black silk costumes, beautifully
trimmed with satin and the same material, and
some with Chantilly lace.
