Following closely upon the importers
opening, says the New York EreHf"g
Post, of Wednesdays few styles for early
spring wear have been introduced
perhaps to test their claims to popuIari-
ty. A few selections are worthy of de-
scriptioD.
A bonnet of chapgeable gold and gray
satin is made over Normandy shape
with sprays of clematis adjoining the
top and dropping back; the glrdle oil
gray satin is edged with white, that e1'
tends around the front.
A novelty is of dotted lace, the shade
delicate purple, pulled over narrow
closs-ftting frame, the lace falling at
each side in long scarfs, edged with
white blonde; these fall loosely over
purple ribbon strings that tie, and there
is a cluster of full-blown roses upon the
top.
A white Grape has dotted lace fes'
tooned across the back and clasped at
the sides by bows of white uncut vel
vet. In the centre of the front is q
large rose of the apricot shade, ana
dropping back on the one side is small
white ostrich feather; on the other c!us-
ters of fine clematis.
An oddly is a cottage shape of brown
silk; but, resting low upon the forehead,
and not reaching the ears, it resembles
a round hat. There is no trimming IN
front, but white blonde edging, and
dropping from the top, over the chignon,
are sprays and trailing vines OF wlstefla
blossoms, shaded into orange, brown
and red. A chip bonnet is trimmed
with crystalized ferns, small mar
guerites and green satin.
A round hat with low crown has
green dotted lace pulled loosely across
the crown, to give it high appearance,
and falls in wide streamers, edged with
white at the back. White marguerites
with green velvet loops form q band
above the narrow brim.
An elegant evenisg dress, just COM
pleted, is of lavender poult de sole,
made with one skirt in long full train.
The back breadths are cut in scallops
about seven inches wide, and bound
with heavy eording of the material.
The trimming on the front of the skirt
is formed of wide shell ruching fastened
with small white satin buttons 1t
commences on the left side of the apron
at the belt, and runs in circular from
across the front to about the centre OF
the first gore on the right side, where it
ends, eight inches from the bottom of
the skirt, with an oblong rosette formed
of the shell ruching clasping it. The
corsage is cut Pompadour, and trimmed
with shell ruching and point lace,
Marie Antoinette sleeves with fall OF
deep lace. There is pointed pannier,
edged with ruching to match, and q
sash trimmed correspondingly, with q
row of point lace added.
A street suit of purple gros grain is
deliberately trimmed with a narrow
fiuting on the lower edge of the skirt,
and above this are nine narrow folds
headed by very narrow futlng.
There is an overskirt, down to the folds,
it is bordered with four rows of tuting
with three folds; and the pannier is fes-
TONED by large bows. The sash eRds
are trimmed with tluting and folds.
The high corsage is open in front, with
an upright frill of lace in the neck, that
has q row of fluting beneath it, The
sleeves are close, with wide, slanting
cuffs, open at the back of the hand and
edged with tluting of the same. Bon
net of velvet, the same shade as the
dress, with loops of rich black lace at
the back.
