FAsHIONABLE PRAYING COSTUME.


The new outburst of piety has drawn
fashion into her train in Paris. They
have now la robe Ia prize dieu, and a
most becoming robe it is, to mark pro-
gress in religious fervor. There is
originality in the name suggestive of
the originality of the cut. The inven-
tor of the latest mode assumes that la
dies wishing to be well with the world
les Uerjtables elegantes-shOuld be seen
frequently praying in the churches.
Hence the necessity of a
dress that adapts itself to the
action of kneeling-an action
not performed on bare boards, as in the
Irish, nor on cold flags, as in the Span
ish churches. but on a prize dieu chair,
which throws the body into a graceful
attitude. A Paris lady, habited in this
dress, is really work of art worthy
Of the pencil Of Giraud. Her skirt is
Of a severe neutral tint, ranging be-
tween slate and dove-color; her mantle
is cut q LG Carmclite, and her bonnet is
shaped Ia beguiR, on nuns cap. The
back breadths being then ost prominent
are frilled up to the waist, and some fam
cy is spent in giving the frills pretty
garniture, not inconsistent with the re-
igious aspirations of a fair wearer, who
is peculiarly suited to the garb. and
when her liquid eyes cast UP their pen
sive glances from the rosary, she looks
most proyokingly demure and religious,
especially if her figure be slim but we'll
rounded. The absurd and abruptly
rounded hustle must be renounced, not
exactly because it is a falsehood, but
for a more artistic reason, that it dis
gracefully exaggerates the outline
formed by the pose Of the kneeler,
Bows and short ends, soberly coquet!ish,
may peep from the edge Of the Carme
little mantle, Just at the point where
the fri Is ettfininate. The vestrTe is
leoseiy cut, with sleeves IN which the
hands can be meekly folded across the
breast, as we see them Ia the pictures
of Sistera Of Charity, or as ''a nun
breathless with alteration. The orna-
mental embroidery ON it should bo rich,
but not overcharged, it being intended
to relieve che Carmehtish severity of
this garment, by means of a handsome
jet necklace, with a large Latin cross,
having in tho central part a Sacred
Heart suspended there from. The
priestess of fashion who invented this
costume, says in her advertisements;
"What wife would not become religious.
and give up mundane frivolity, if she
knew her husband would allow her the
means to buy the pFia c!sea costume?"
