GLOVES.
In Alexandre's kids a new shade has
been brought out for evening wear. 1t is
the most delicate of peTIe, or rather pearl
color, and they are in both black and
white welts, and stitched in the color to
correspond. This shade is beautiful in
gaslight. The long gloves, with six but
tons, to be worn with short sleeves, are in
the shades of straw color, butf, and other
light tints. In the medium shades they
are in three buttons.
CRINoLINE.
Ha1r-cIoth skirts, to take the place OF
hoops, have recently been imported.
There is a nounce around the bottom in
round plaits on all except the Iront
breadth, and the upper part of the back
has rolls of the material, for a quarter of
a yard, in imitationW the hustle. These
skirts range in price from 50 to SIS.
MoRNING ROBES.
An " oriental" robe of purple satin de
Chine is beautifully embroidered in black
and white. A vine runs around the neck,

most elegant carriage dresses OF the
season.

HATS.
Round hats fer the streets and ordinary
wear are generally worn. The high-crown
felt hats, trimmed with VeIveI and ostrich
plumes, are much worn. A noticeable
feature of these hats as now worn is, the
top of the crown IS crashed which does
not add in the least to their beauty or ef-
feet.
BOSNETs.
The prediction that bonuets were to be
smaller has not been fulfilled. They are
very small, and will remain so as long as
the hair is worn high, as at present. The
fashionable chlgnOn is large, extending
quite low in the neck, and covering so
much of the head that there is only a
small space for the bonnet.
For evening wear and receptions the
bOnnets are pr0fuseiy trimmed with feaJh-
ers and flowers and edged with lace; the
scarf IS still in vogue, and twined around
the neck falls at one side.
