CLOTHES AND THINGS.

neck looks pretleE under 9 nsm ql7 lace,
and its benefeient effecs on an ugly
neck is past computing. There is a dash
of coqaetry ID these delicate kerchiefs,
that is in no wise displeasing to the
average feminine mind, and they are
destined TO very active existence.
CRNoLINE MoDELs. has been
an g opening . atNew York sfanew and
approved kind OF crinoline dress-modeIs
from Paris. The suits are entirely of
different shades Of .crinoline, and, but
for their tllinnezs, might readily be mis-
taken for complete costumes. On each
dress are pinned samples of the color
and goods which it is intended to make
the suit of !; so that the effect can be
instantly discovered by the eye. There
are walking-suits, evsaing- dresses, and
home dresses nth one distinguishing
characteristic fiat trimmings. Every
width and variety of band and fold, and
piping, and very little=elss, appeared in
the decorations. Straight and severe
outlines IN evefything pertaining to the
street, and simpler designs than formerly
for all other uses, are the rules set by
Paris and these, no doubt, the western
world will follow. lls~
BoNNEFs, HATS AND HAIR.-The wo-
men who want 10 wear hats, but who
from age, looks, and other considera-
lions, don't ike quite TO HppeaF in an
unequivocaI jockey, VIII have to decide
in favor of the one or the other. Those
congIomerates which have been hats on
girls OILS. aud bennets on women of so,
are blessing that has frightened and
taken its flight. What you wear now
must be defnite.T There is no more pin
ming on strings, and pretending to a
bonnet in the evening, when you know,
in your secret soul, that it was a hat in
the morning. The awful moment has
arrived when it is to be either peaked
crown and brim turned up on one side,
OF a corner -froIt, with wide. llhInistaba-
bic strings. One confort is 20 be ex-
tracted from this, however that is, the
hair coming lower behind. 1t must,
the new hats cannot otherwise be worn.
ONE OF THE New COSTUMES. 1t is a
street dress of dark blue bordering on
black. The materials are ladies' cloth
and anew diagonal rep.a All the new
models employ two fabrics, but not al
ways two shades. The skirt of the dress
touches the ground behind. Its trim
ming is four overlapping bias folds, at
least eight inches wide. The folds alter
mated In stuff, ana the skirt itself is
ladies' cloth. There isno' no'overslEirt, but
charming jacket supplies ats place.
Double breasted in front and isloping
smoothly over the figure, it has two
cleverly-cut skirts behind, to which are
buttOned the two baek-breadths of the
dress, as though they had aeeidently
dropped out of the waist band. and had
been caught on the jacket to prevent
their dragging down. The trimming
on the jacket was like the skirt, only
narrower; and the quietelegance of the
suit was very attractive.
AK odd evening roberts called the
pansy. Naturally it is made of silk and
velvet of the colors of the flower. The
train is long, and covered with side
plated fiounces of violet silk, placed
straight across, instead of following
theoutline of the bottom. Each flounce
is headed by ruehing of yellow silk,
the exact tint in pansy, and deep pur-
pie velvet, and the trimming is carried
to the waist behind There is a small
wrinkled apron in front, finished Ike
the. train. The. waist is low, and is
formed, apparently, of numerous folds
of the violet silk, crossing in front, the
corners reachings below the lSelt, and
tipped With the daintiest, most perfect
pansies ever eontrived out Of sax and
velvet. Indeed, the chief beauty of this
robe. whose gorgeous cdloEing is rather
overpowering to mild-mannered ma
irons, is these Horticultural coneeits
peeping~ from all possible and i'm
possible folds ..
GLASS BoNnETs are among the novel;
ties of the Vienna exposition. These
articles coms from Bohemia, and speci-
mems have been sent to Paris and Lon
don, and some also to America, in the
hope that they will become popular, and
be call The fashion, % next fall. The
hat is described as made OF loose peices
Of glass faatened closely together by a
gutta-pereba band, which allows it to
oonform to the head. Inside there is a
Lining of silk, and. the trimmings are
various. Birds and flowers are chiefly
used for ornamensation, colored so
naturally that in Appearance they are far
superior to the usuaL artificial goods.
"A bonnet Of glass weighs but a few
ionnces, Only a very small quantity being
used in itsconstruction. Ofcourse they
are very desirable, rain viii not spot
them, and the cost lis said to be small.
Glass dresses viii next be introduced
for those who dare to hive in glass
houses. .4sAppIeto,ss' Journal.
