PARIS FASHIONS IN HEAD DRAPERY

PARIS FASHIONS IN HEAD DRAPERf.
A great many ladies, also, now that the
cold weather has set in, are fixing long
tulle scarfs to the back of their bonnets,
and then tie them under the chin in n large
bow and long, flowing ends. When in white
tulle, these scarf strings are very becoming,
and also take the place Of cravats. They
are fastened under the crown at back and
are pinned away from the face with jet or
tortoise-shel pins. Many ladies' prefer
black lace scarfs instead of white tulle, as
it is more economical; and when the bon
act is all black, with perhaps Il single rose
at the side, these black lace scarfs give
quite Spanish look to the face. ! have
even seen some worn thrown back second
time. For instance, after the scarfs have
been brought forward, and have been well
pinned back from the face with black jet
pins, they are loosely crossed over the chest
| in front, and are then throwc over the
shoulders, where they are invisibly pinned
to prevent them from flying out of place.
| To make this arrangement look well, how
| ever, great care must be taken to have the
folds of the scarf prettily arranged in front,
that the head may appear to peep ont ola
cloud of lace. If well arranged, it is most
poetic and becoming otherwise, it will look
ungraceful and old.fashioned. -LoR9on

| FLORAL APRONS.
Floral aprons are being created for ball
and full reception dresses. The form of
these granitures is a series Oh wreaths,-
artificial, of course,-caught across the
skirt of the dress in the shape of the usual
round apron. These garlands are much
heavier in the centre, where they cross the
Al. Al, IL. tI,o,r ora
caught over the panier, under large spray
of flowers, with trailing vines falling over
the train. The flowers and vines chosen
for this kind of ornamentation either match
or contrast with the color of the dress, gen.
orally the latter, and are also selected with
what is deemed the incest care as regards
the age and appearance of the wearer.
Such flowers as white and blue yiolets,
lilies, of-th valley, daisies, rosebuds, APP
Pile and cherry blossoms, houstonia, and
others, are considered peculiarly girlish,
and are therefore denied to matrons. To
the latter are left the beautifully-tinted au-
tumn leaves, -really more fashionable than
flowers, -vines of fruit and berries, as well
as all the larger and more highly colored
, blossoms. One of the prettiest of these
floral over dresses-to give form to some
thing that has none-is after this manner
5 The dress is pale-blue faille, with gauze
trimmings of the same color. The back
breadth-the train is long-is laid in the
new double box-piait, and the entire Skin
I is bordered by knife plaited flounce of thu
: gauze, about inches wide. Above this
4 on the three front-brcadths, slightly curv
ing, apron shape, are several knifc-plait
ings finger wide, headed by plated puff
: fings the same width. This trimming
Y reaching nearly to the belt, and making tn,
!, outline for the apron of autumn-leaves, j
formed of five garands of rich brown leaves
: their tips sometimes tonng into deep
rich red. These concentric wreaths ar
/. caught to narrow and invisible bands of tn
gauze, and fastened so deity as to give tn
u Impression of hanging entirely tree fror
G the skirt while they really follow eXactl
the line of the nuts There is gauz
sash in the baIs, much bepufied and be-
looped and over this fall irregular spray
of the leaves. The body of the dress
r. cut of silk, with a round, Josephine-sh shape
n neck, outlined by leaves, with n pufie
10 chemisette of gauze. The sleeves ar
% gauze, pulled to the elbow, with deep frill
st below, and decked with sprays Of leaves
To render these unsubstantial garniture
/" removable, they are occasionally sewed t
k an apron of net lace, the exact tint of III
d gown, that it may be as nearly invisibl
/" as possible the airy effect is mare
is by this method. Questionable as is III
d taste that permits, and even admires, s
g profuse employment of artificial flowers an
3. leaves, still it must be conceded that yer
6, pretty results are achieved by these means
is and, good taste or bad, the fancy is likel
70 to be very popular before Easter come
