Paris Fashions.
FIRST ronrxIenr IN 1--WE


A decided change in the trimming of the
back of hats has been lately effected by
women of practical taste. Gauze wells
are again attached above the chignon, and
gracefully protect the throat from the in
tuence of sudden heat dust and also the
painful contact of stfily-starched collars
and rutis.
Another renewal is that of Gordon of
flowers over the back of the neck, but the
general belief is. that these notifications
will not be thoroughly adopted before the
fashionables of Paris have been seen Mt the
Grand PriX wearing the bonnets ordered
tor that great social event. One of these
new hats is trimmed at the back with
chaplet of peoples and black wild oats
another with coleoptis and hclotropc; and
a third with honeysucklc and small bees.
These chaplcts of flowers are intended TO
droop over the queue of hair, which is now
also reintroduced. This appendagc to a
high head dress is at present simply plat,
bound in the centre with blacl. velvet or
bla silk bow; but it would soon spread
and assume the dimensions of those tails
worn in the eighteenth century, and then
called in England a club. The French
named them catogans, ana they became, at
last so unduly vouminous, both at home
silk or bourses, Its supposed that thcl.
narrow net worked with beads will super
sede the antique taheta bag. At the last
meeting held by the coileurs, the model
head was one having Il queue knotted with
China cr(p pc bow edged with malines, one
of the ends was brought round to the top
of the head, and there formed Il small pout
called laitue bow lettuce hearO
Pelerines have become tippets. Med
laval ornaments, and Il quantity of chains
hanging from the wastband, are also fea-
lures in the various styles of dress for June.
There are appendages of very curious and
valuable workmanship Cor fan and bouquet
holders, like wise boxes instead of chate-
laine bags for bcnbonieres and the powder
| etui. All these curosites are being care
fully sought out. and purchased at high
prices, Snaps and buckles of enamel are
in great demand. There is a novelty made
of tortoise shell, which has been modern
lied from metal ornaments made in the six-
teonth century. 1t consists of crossed
spears joined by the coronct of the wearer
towards the centre of the blades. The
spear ends are somewhat pointed and run
| through loose bows of hair raised in front
of the chgnon
Plain linen oyerdresses, and others OF
brown, gray, and clarot- coored Holland
are recommended Tor morning wear. These
overalls are lOOped on the sides only, which
are brought lay button to the back, and
this is all the mystery OF the prettic,t re
trous,e4 Muslins are arranged in the same
way. White plain organdi is very inaid
with lace and Swiss work. the blouse and
long polonaise are the two favorite styles
Ecru polonaiscs have become somewhat
hackneycd bingham j. more exclusively
worn by the elegant. plisso, will be found
y very pretty trimming for al these cool
fabrics; and everything like ornament
should be discarded from them. \ simple
piping and rich buttons with very choice
lingerie add most unmistakable cachet.
White foulard has taken the place of raw
tussor and is much more costly, Blue
steel combs are preferred TO PLAN steel.
This shade is one of the latest and has the
same vogue as Vulcain- Faust and Orchi-
dee.
There is no novelty in fans, bat great
perfection in the execution of the subjects
painted on silk. The reproduction of works
by the old masters has made the manuiac-
tnre of this elegant article quite an art.
The last fan sent to Chiselhurst for half
mourning was of black ebony mounting
The sticks were covered with viulets of the
finest carving. The black silk leaves were
strewn with purple yiolots executed in wa
ter.colors. The box of purple satin was
perinmed with violets from Nice, and bore
on the outside the initials of the imperial
widow, yelled with delicate ebony tracings
representing a shroud of black lace Gal
