DoMINOs AND MASQUERADE COSTUMES
At masquerade bulls in cities the crOwt
Is too large 10 bo select, hence most ladits
and gentlemen who attend wear 1OminO
that entirely conceal them DOminOS art
also much worn Mt the private masQue
rudes, for which We write rather than fOI
Iarge balls. 4 handsome domino madI
recently for n lady Is shaped precisely
like the Vatican wrapper, tue pattern q
which was given In the BrZdT No. IL, Vol
II. II Is Of black satin, with flowing
sleeves, trimmed with ruchc Of ribbon
and fall Of thread lace. A deeply point
cd hood, trimmed with lows and lace,
falls over the upper part Of the brOat
Vatican fold. The expense. without th'
lace, was $70. COStumerS keep for hire
tIOminos of blue, pink, white, Or blact
SAtin plainly made, with large cape, hood
and sleeves, trimmed with swnn's.dOwr
or lace. One very pretty is of violet sNtir
with AngOra fringe. The satin Is of gOOt
quality, and tho gown il ample enough t
conceal the ball dress worn beneath. From
$l5 to $95 is the price for using such II
domino one evening. A graceful domino
may he made Of n gOred trained dress
skirt by plcating the top to u large yoke
leaving Sits for the arms in the side
seams, and wearing large cape. Thu
musk most worn Is OF satin, matching tllt
domino in color, and finished by fall o
lace. $3.50 Is the price. Gentlemen veal
black dominos Of silk or Italian cloth.
1t is useless TO buy expensive material!
for iancy costumes, rs the wCarCr seldom
remains incognitO in them AFTER using
them once, and they are then thrown asilll
US worthless. Satin is the prCtticSt fabric
for the majority Of masquerade dresses
and that with linen back is quite goDt
cnUllgl. WSite Sitm, with broad. stripe
OF guy color, COSTS from 81 so to - so {
yard; sOlid.cOlorcd satin is 81. Change
able grcnadinc gallzc, III which silver III
gilt threads are largely woven, Is used fol
tuuics, and when placed over any thick
yellow goods, will answer for COrSagCS II
lieu Of tho more expensive gold cloth
Green and gold chanGeablc gauze, cherry

shown, and cost 81 u yArll for goOtls five

At private mNsqueradGs the fancy tliE
winter Is for historical costumes, for pic
turcsQuc national dresses, and for those
costumes that seek to express an Idea
either poetic or absurd, or 10 cmhOtiy III
association with some conspicuous event
Tue rich habits worn during the reigns Of
Henri II. and FranCiS |. are much copied
the elaborate costumes of Marie Stuart mud
Marie lie MCtliCi are donncd for modern
admiration, and most frequently Of all art
seen the court dresses Of Louis XIV, XIV.
and Of the unfortunate Marie AntOtnctte
The Iast are easily gotten up, asthciF lIrih!
Cipal features are reproduced In the Ortli
nary dress oftO.day. Tho short IGttiCOat
md court train now worn, the square and
pointed cOrsAgcS, the frilled flowing sleeves
the tiChu, high.hecled slippers, and The
towering coitIGrcs besmcared with pow,
der, arc all copied nom tho marQulSe dress
ofthc last century. The Vatican shclr
hcrtlrss costumes and the Swiss peasant
dress, so pretty for gay young girls, arC
easily fashioned from the lawn and print
suits of Inst summer. The graceful dress
Of the Normandy peasant, illustrated In
Blsar No, {, Vol. H., Is suited for those
more demutG. 5FtlaEI t.g
