MODES OF DRESs-MAKTNG.
The modes Of making dresses have not ma
terially changed. The bodice OF evening dres-
ses is open, either square, la Pompadour, or
heart shape, or open to the belt, and worn over
an elegantly wrought vest. A new STYLE which
i, is predicted will be much in vogue the coming
spring, will be colored vests of some contrast
ing color, and made high In the neck. The
sleeves Of the dress will be made to reach to
the elbow, and finished with two ruffies, and
undersleeves OF the color and material OF
the vest will be worn with them. A dress
of black silk made in this style can be worn
with vest of scarlet, rose, green or violet,
and the dress in fashionable evening colors can
be worn with any shade that harmoniZes with
it.
Ball dresses are made with very full skirts
and are worn without hoops, instead of which
tyo or three skirts are worn, one OF some still
material, with the back breadth ruffled the
whole length. The upper skirt should oe made
the same length as the silk undertakes. The

satin in points and bound with scarlet satin.
