the last several seasons obtained In; TIL
making.up Of dresses, will, in the Opinion
OF LeSIie'S Lady'S Journal, for an in
definite time longer, be preserved. Fash
ion has gradually arrived at the pres
sent styles, nor can they be departed
from abruptly, If for no other rea-
son than that of impracticability; though
from season TO season, until grad
ually displaced and worn out, they may
be expected TO be so much modified as t
be, in measure, novel. Thus far, from
the distinctive styles Of Iall and winter, We
notice a change, while in mantuamakinG
we notice nothing startltngly new. -
Tho polonaise, the TUNE, the basque
and over.skIrt will all be continued. Il il
also decided that the skirt trimmed up
the entire depth OF the hsck, with, the
trimming on the front.to the knees, and
above an apron, IN some modified form
will obtain; and also, that the. front trim
medsgn tGblLer, with trimming around the
edge OF the back Of the skirt and paniered
drapery above, sashes, or some' ornate
finish Is fashionable.
The latest corsage has the rqHnd front
and Is worn with belt, the back having
the postlllion sashes, orsomc finish TO give
more boutfante effect TO the drapery be-
low the waist line. The extreme 1t the
mode Is without side bodies; and thus
fashioned, the back has so broad and
shapeleSs an appearance that VIC scarcely
think any, except with very slender, round
figures will dare wear the waist 30 cut.
For o street dress thecoat sleeVeis still
dc rigu6ur-generally fitting rather close
", and finished at the wrist with o deep
cuff. and q bow or buttons; and again, on
some sleeves, there Is the cap at the top
80 long discarded that its return seemed
even more than doubtful. For q house
dress the sleeve Is less seVere-not quite
so closely fitting-the outer seam some
times being left open from three inches to
the elbow, and finished with Enorr orna.
mental puff. ~. =.
For a dinner dress, or for the evening
with 8 high-necked waist, or the bosom
on PompGdour or en- snrpltce-the antique
or.elbow sleeve, finished with founces,
bows, ETC., with a.lace under sEeeVeor the
hRlt-foWiug sleeve, finished in a similar
manner, will be worm. A later sleeve Is
cut to at smoothly In the arm hole, but Is
pulled over the elbow and gathered into
q band, with hOunces, q cuff en- TeveTS, or
some other faucifil .fnish below. ~.

with demt-train, and intended for car
riage wear, had the front en- tGblier, in kilt
plata from the top to the bottom, as in
