trimmed with soft white laces; and the
garnitures arc composed of Aowers, leaves
and grasses, for young ladies, and feathers
for the maturer ones.
These costumes are worn with full trains,
and are trimmed with deep puffings at
the back aud narrow rufiles and pufs in
front. Some of tho garnitures are COM
posed of the different varieties of wild
roses in shape OF apron, corsage and hair
trimming hnd others in blue forget-ne-
nols, with bows, knots and streamers Of
blue gros-gran ribbon. A garniture
composed Of sca-green leaves and flowers
called dragged Sailor is most eccentric
and jaunty style, and is becoming to n
young girl Of sixteen. French viole,s
and ribbon gras, are chaste and unique
decorations for pure white eatin or tuile
fabrics. Wild flowers, oats and grasses,
festoonsd over white gauzy fabrics, are
adopted by young ladies, and arc exceed
ingly pretty.
A new style of head-dress, Of which
patterns have just been received from q
Partisan milliner, Is destined to be much
in vogue for full evening dress. 1t COM
prises coronet Of plated ribbon or vel
vet, in pink and blue and other decided
colors, with sprays of flowers and ribbons
falling over tho fifty knot, which is now
the apology for back hair, and down to the
bottom of tho waist, in some patterns, and
others just reach the shoulders. In some
Of these head-dresses white frosted morn
ingglories are nestled down among the
paits of the coronet, which is composed Of
bright pink gros-grain silk, and ribbons
Of same shade fall gracefully over the
back of the head and shoulders.
Blue velvet coronets arc covered with
gilt skeleton leaves and sp:ays Of blue
forget.me-nots.
This style Of head.lress will lie worn
with silver.gray costumes and garniturs
Of blue flowers. Split ostrich feathers for
coronet and dropping willow plumes in
tho various new shade, and in white are
still worn, and for certain styles are more
becoming than flowers.
DINNER AND DRAWN G-RooM DRESSES,
But we must speak OF dinner and draw
ing-room dresses. Of these the latest pat
tirns from Paris are in t.o decided colors,
and in some cases shaded with the various
new colors; and as n novlety in many
mingling colors, deep blue and plum color
are put together.
The polonaisc or tunic Is twined with
white cluny lace, and silk fringe of the
! two colors of which the dress is composed
is crochetsd on the edge of the lace. On
| the left shoulder is cluster of bows and
long ends OF the ribbon falling to The bot
tom Of the tunic. The skirts are trimmed
with side and box plaitings, folds and
pufs and between these cluny lace and
fringe. These are made in any desirable
shade, and are worn demi-train, the full
train being nearly abandoned for dinner
or drawiug-room dresses. Silver-gruy
suits, trimmed with black velvet and
gupure lace, arc also much worn.
STREET COSTUMES.
The colors adopted for walking salts are
deep plum. dark paon tints, olive and liz
green and brown bronze. These are made
in a mast convenient length, SO as just to
clear tho ground-an indication, perhaps,
Of returning reason on the part of the
dressmakers.
Cloaks correspond in elaboration OF
trimmings with everything else in shape
Of dress, and are heavily braided, trimmed
with rich laces, and tipped with furs, the
--latest novelty in which is the silver-g gray
fox, which, when the cloak material is
black Lyons velvet present most besuti-
full contrast, and is suitable for middle
aged as we'll as for young ladies'. The
tunic and polonaise form. are the most
adopted.
1t seems as II designers had been taxing
themselves to their utmost capacity to sec
how much trimming and garniture could
be loaded upon the various costumes; but
it is likely that food tide in this direction
is nearly reached, and the opposite eI-
treme will probably follow.-[New York
