Judging by tho preparations made fol
1t, tho bell season, which viii succeed
tho holidays, will be unusally brilliant
Tho toilettcs already completed surpass
In richness, variety and nniqueness those
Of any season within the memory oi
society. Satins Of the shiniest surfaces
and the richest glow arc tho distinguish
ing feature. .'
Peacock. .colored satin, with train cut
10 points around tho bottom, each point
| embroidered in perfect somblanco to a
peacock'stail feather, is a dress just com
pleted for au elderly lady. The lady 3
married daughter will appear during the
winter in several floral costumes, the
dresses always short, as is deemed ap-
propfiate for dancing. One Of those cos
TUNES is called "Thc Blush Roso," aud is
q succession Of short sntin rose colored
skirts falling over each othor like the
petals Of the flower after which it is
named. Another is the Eglantine Or
yellow sweet.briar roSo--the petals few.
No underskirts arc to be worn with this,
as tho '"'slimpsy" look IS very much
sought after. G"noraliy, crapo or tule or
some kind of transparent tissue is worn
over the satin, and softens it's briliancy
and gives it richness too by giving it
depth. 1t is imperative that this gauze
be Of the snIpc color, aud SHADE of the
satin beneath it. Sometimes it is put on
pnffGd, or in tho form of founccs, the
satin showing between them, but oflenor
ny way Of long tunic which is var,ously
draped by always forming bunch at
al the back by way ofpannicr. Another
style Of dresses are qnite different these
ore called "Orie1tnls." The material is
dark velvet, they are heavy with em.
brOidery in various highcolored silks,
bullion, aud braids Of different widths.
These are the richest and most expensive
looking, especially when lit up by the
light OF many gas jcts. For fancy balls
Oriental costumes will he particularly
effective. The form Of making will be q
Turkish jacket and skirt, With white
silk shirt, also embt oitlercd, but in silk
only, showing ut the waist scarlet silk
sash embroidered and (rirgcd at the ends,
high embroidered body, aud embroidered
cap with tnsscl. G...
And where arc we get all this en-.
broldery done, and who's TO do it3' asks
some uninitiatcd lady who associates EN-
broidery only with tho "pn,ient labor Of
the East" We would answer, that one
Of the busiest and uost speculative aud
prosperous industries Of lhis city, is cm
broidcry. We say snrrn,".i"e, booauao
tbcy charge so high for il, since the
Empress visit to Egypt has made it un.
fashionable. But ladies who havo in
their families II Grover and Bnkcr Mn.
chine, not only make but richly ombroid-
er these effective costumes at the cost
merely Of material.
Black bonnets are no longer worn so
much MS formcrly-the bonnet must be
10 match the dress neither arc white
bonncts any longer worn, even for opera,
by those who follow fashion faithfully.
The evening bonnet must be OF satin
velvet and tlowcrs-~pink, blue, lavender,
Nile grcen-any color except white or
black, The street bonnet is, perhaps,
larger thah 1t was last year, and is Of.
tcnest seen III p:unc. color, a deep rcd
called lucifer, new and wonderful dark
blue, new green called apricot, and a
plum color. 1t Is always trimmed with
feathers Of the same shade, always has
two or more materials entering into its
composition, and often val Of the some
color. JApoNlcA,
