Articles Of Ladies' Wear.
PARIS, May 90, 1872.
The new fashions be described in o few
words, but their application In matters OF taste
would I'LL volumes Thus, when one is told that the
newest things are tall hats, tall parasols embroid-
cred costumes, Dolman jackets and Roman scarfs,
II would appear that this enumeration should suf-
fee. In point Of number it does, very truly; but it
is wonderful how many different kinds OF tall hats
ladies wear and how varied, In fact, every article
can be that is fashionable. Some OF the combna-
tons for June very pretty, and among these
are the
PERSIAN PATTERNS FOR PoMpADoUR TUNES.
All petticoats worn with them are OF silk trimmed
with stripes, borders OF the unique materia-the
more exotic the leaves and odd the flower the bet
ter. Grounds all ec1u. and what IL not ecrE
is very neutral indeed. Neutral grounds always arc
safest when 1T rains when politics shift, and this
has been the state OF the atmosphere and Paria-
ment all spring. The prettiest chalies striped,
half ecu ana half SATIN or insertion Of white
open-work worn over coored silk pettcoats, which
have deep killed ounce that is headed with chic
aree ruche frayed out to look like plumes.
FEATHER TRIMMINGS
In the maroon, stone and drab tnts, worn round
basques. Plume trimming, which was only adopted
In winter, will be In favor at the seaside and water
ing places this summer but the light shades only.
Feather fringe is also to be basques; II il
made, too, in sewing silk and noss in all colors and
is then called butterfly fringe. 1t is very appropr-
ate for light lawns and drab muslins. Basques
deliberately worked in the mouse shades or Paris
brule and I'm maroon. Maize silk has just appeared,
embroidered with nut brown, each nounce being
denied, and showing beneath these dents nut
brown silk lining. When embroidery Is used on
basques the fronts and sleeves, which latter are
wouni think that the great diversity OF processes
basques are undergoing Is caused by the insurrec-
ton IN the Basque Country; some are cut "a
the front, but keep hanging behind.
VERY COSTLY ROBES
have just been made for the Grand Duchess OF
Russia, among which the sober tnts prevail for
driving ana visiting, and very bright combinations
in the turquoise and sapphire tints mixed for full
toilets; also myrtle green with ue1t d'eal, and the
two beautiful Danube blues The Tber, q yellOwish
stream Is being lined with pink. All these neutral
tints are relieved by very narrow ppings Of
bright aille Thus u bronze robe of twilled silk
ian Indian material), worn over laie OF the same
shade, is made up with pale blue crosscuts the
heading OF frills and ounces having lining OF the
same and scarf to lift up the CamargO tunic be-
robes made for the Grand Duchess is a black and
white tafieta, with ounces OF fluffy organdie each
OF them being inlaid with BruRes point insertion,
and the open train en- ta0uer being trimmed down
in front with cascade OF Bruges lace stopped here
and there from too sudden falls by bows OF black
satin.
ANOTHER TOILET
ordered for an American lady Is equally costly II
is a silver gray underskirt with two nOunces very
nat In front, ana over 1t there is train unique, or
manteau de cour, trimmed with wide point all
behind is raised with darker shade of gray satin
that is lined with orange faille. 1t looks like silver
clouds yelled with haze and tipped with little
gorgeous sun.
TOILETS NOT QUITE SO GRAND.
But simpler toilets are no less tasteful. Mo-
hairs and cashmeres make up with elegant SIM
plicity The mi Xture of fae taffeta all colors
sets of all the wooen stones, drabs and grays Palo
salmon and pale lilac scarfs are artistically thrown
over pouffs, or loop them up behind. The casaq7le
| NOntDenster Is likely to maintain the position 1t
has had such hard lighting i9r the loveest are
worked with Havana and canary colored silk.
The strictest simplicity Is remarked IN the costume
OF our fair equestrian bellies at Chantilly.
Riding HABITS
are OF tight fitting blue CLOTH and the only hat is
demi-tak, with a tulle scarf round it. A bright
necktie and plain sets OF linen collars and NOUS
| quetaire cuffs complete this gentlemanly at
tire. The favOrite mower in ones buttonhOle is
the Begonia or half-bOwn tea rose.
REFORM WANTED IN HATS
IL would be desirable If little simplicity pre-.
vailed in headdress everywhere, but the foliage
with which the elegant first decorated their temples
has developed in fearful proportions. Many beau
well to be poetic and delight in palladium leaves,
but when It comes to covering up ones chgnon
the "reminiscences OF a very old song-"Al Round
Ny Hats positively irrepressible.
WHITE MUSLIN TUNICS
The reign OF white muslin tuniques light un.
dersklrts will be absolute. They are 10 be pulled
ana edged with nils, which are to be edged with
plain washing tue, thus presenting very snowy
appearance. Black velvet ribbon Will lightly loop
these downy overgarments. SILK sleeves to cOrre-
spond with the underskrt, will be worn on all
muslins and lawn ecrus. Faie de Vichy has reap
peared with plated frillS and ValencienneS bOr-
ders. 1t Is cool ana n6gltg6.
Pelerines OF white cloth being embroidered
with garands, and not unlike coachmen's
capes In cut, but this Is avoided by trimmings Of
white Cluny all round.
IL still the fashionable pdssetenpS. Brown Holland
suits are enlivened by very pretty work, the Rus
sian stitch being preferred. Black and c0lOred
spencers, without sleeves, are made OF satin, and
worn with driving toilets. Carnations and peoples
bolic Of party feeling. The loveest birds are worn
pOuffs OF lace for the head. They the Coibri
or the Jacoblne, two very precious little warblers,
and their threats shine like gems under gasliQht.
The ribbons worn for these evening coiffures are
pale Nile green, pale opal blue pale lemon or rose
In the faintest hues, mixed with maroon or black
velvet
