QUAKER COSTUMES,

The frequent prediction that we
should return to primitive simplicity in
styles OF dress seems little rearer be-
ing fulfilled this season than heretofore.
When certain established leaders oil
fashion, women Of acknowledged taste,
beauty and social position, adopt style
there is no use to oppose it. twill be-
come the fashion. Within a few days
past several toilets of almost Quakerish
simplicity have been seen on Broadway,
worn BY some Of these leaders Of the
upper teu-some lingerers who have
not yet Joined the fashionable exodus to
Europe or the country. We will de-
scribe a few OF these costumes.

twilled silk serge, the skirt escaping the
ground about an inch all round; no

TRAVELLING SUITS.
Some marvellous cheap and stylish
travelling suits. made up in this style
OF plain severity, are being brought out.
They are composed Of two pieces-a
perfectly plain skirt of black and white
striped percale and long, loose-iront,
sing breasted redingote, reaching TO
the bottom OF the skirt when not looped,
and doing double service, first as a
duster when let down and buttoned in
the front, or as polonaise when un-
fastened half way and looped back. A
large collar and pockets give these gar
ments stylish effect. Price OF the
suit, &C.
deliberately trimmed skir,s are still
worn, Tut there are but few upper gar
ments that are trimmed to excess.
From Paris we have also the well
come intelligence that the ladies OF the
old regime, always the leaders in styles,
are adopting perfectly plain skirts and
short basques. These skirts are slight
ly demi.trained in the back. A great
many pleats are thrown in the back
while the front breadths are gored and
fall IN straight lines around the hips.
Sometimes a narrow, box pleated
trimming is put around the bottom, not
more than an inch wide, headed by a
heavy cord. The bottom Of the skirt is
then bound with thick taIlor's braid.
Frequently this style OF dress is worn on
the street by some grand dame, who
dwells in the aristocratic quarter OF the
Faubourg St. German, with a richly
embroidered Dolman to match the suit
in color.
ANEW COLOR FOR BRUNRTTs.
Among colors a new fancy has been
adopted by certain cliques in New
York. 1t is for a singular and dazzling
shade OF yellow, called mustard, color.
1t has faint dash OF green in it, but re-
sembles ground mustard when mixed
tor edible purposes. or for cats plasm,
to perfection. 1t ia of such a dazzling
tint it actually gives one blow in the
eye to look at it. But it will certainly
have it's favor. Worn by florid bru.
nette with very dark hair and eyes it is
said to enhance her natural brilliancy
10 a remarkable manner.
