On this she was engaged for two
years, when she took it to Europe and
had it transferred to marble. under her
own care ul supervision. Her visit to
Europe was fruitful OF fame and profit
Cardinal Antonelli, SpurgeoD, Kali

ars, statesmen and artists were among
her sitters, and the art world resounded
with her praise Cardinal Antonelli

gave her what she had long desired, an
original and hitherto uninterrupted sub
jeci, and "the Spirit of the Carnival
gave proof OF the scope and creative
power of her genius. This is repre-
sec ntation Of an Italian maiden seated on
broken column, with floral garland
and discarded mask in her hand. The
study was much admired in Rome and
now graces the new Club House at
Washington.
Since the return of Winnie to Amer
lea her success has been uninterrupted.
She has as many orders as she can we'll
execute. Her receptions are crowded
every week by the lovers OF art and at
times there is no standing room left in
her studio. She is compelled to refuse
admission to callers on other than her
reception days, for she must work faith
fully to fill her engagements.
| must not omit to mention that her
mother accompanied her to Brooklyn,
and unknown to the on-lookers, acted
the part OF the vigilant mamma with
auie,ness and unobIrusiveness. The
tree criticisms offered by the Misses
Grundy upon her daugt ters plain attire
furnished considerable amusement to
Mrs Ream.
| FASHION.
Ihave attended several evening en-
tertainmeuts and | find that white tulle
and tartelan dresses for young ladies'
are as much in vogue as ever. Some
of them are handsomely embroidered
with sash, with gloves, shoes and flow
ers to match Others are rutfed or
puffed from the waistsso the bottom OF
the skirt. In thin material the sensible
style prevails OF merely wearing the
skirt to touch the floor, or, perhaps, 10
train few inches.
THE SASH.
A marked feature in the evening cos
tunes this season is the sash, to the ar
rangement of which much attention ls
paid, and which is brought into proml-
nence 1t is put on in several differ
ent ways-one OF these being to hr ne 1t
over the right shoulder and iasten 1t in
a loose knot on the let side; another to
PASS it round the waist and in front, and
draw it toge' her in the back in the
loops; and a third, to loop the over
skirt with the sash, fastening 1t each
side and Joining it in wide bow or not
under the puff of the skirt at the back;
In this case it does not show at all
from the front.
TRIMMINGS.
Velvet either on the bias or in RIB
hon, is extremely fashionable Chenille
is also seen on heavy silks, in place Of
traid, for embroidering costumes. As
winter sets in, fur will be used tor
trimming outside garments, and will be
in ga great demand as it was last winter.
A Polonnaise OF velvet trimmed with
fur is very elegant and stylish. Tne
silver fox fur is from ten to fifteen dol
lars per yard. Lynx and other kinds OF
iur are also very popular.
OUTDOOR GARMENTS
A majority of the importations o.
outdoor garments are sacqnes or jack
ets, tight fitting in the back and entirely
or halt loose in front For cloth, mil
itsry braid. satin stitched on in fold
and gimp ornaments are the principal
trimmings, while for velvet, feathers,
lace and iur are in favor. And now |
will finish this rather long TRADE on
fashion with just one word about
coIFFUREs.
A tendency is shown towards the ar
rsngement OF the hair high at the back
of the head. This, to certain faces, is
extremely becoming and stylish, impart
ing distinque air to the entire person,
but on the other hand, the utmost care
should be taken that this peculiar style
of co,ffure should be il! reality suited 10
the wearer. To full, fresh face, 1t will
be very becoming, while to any one in
clined to be thin nothing could be more
unbecoming. Persons who are thin
should wear the full chignon, or droop-
ing braids, and, fortunately, iu the ar
rangement OF the hair there is so much
liberty allowed, that all can study their
own peculiariries and act accordingly
After all, this is the true secret OF dress;
20 study ones own peculiarities and
means To dress becomingly requires
foretbought and care. II you have not
