A PARIS CORE spondent strikes the note of
warning as to what we are shortly to expect in
the way of fashions. Designs, it is stated, are
mot only floral and geometric iu their tendep
cy, but geological" Exquisite brocades are
sprlOkled profusely with lions, tigers, and PAN
theirs, 'medieva-lookiug beats. that are by no
means lifelike in their proportions or coloriog,
and tar more nearly allied to the fabulous crea.
lures 10 stone that decorate Gothic cathedral
than the savage denizens of modern menage-
ris." Artists, it seems. have also gone to mu-
seums and borrowed old heraldic devices with
which to ornament the robes of ladies who
value their personal appearance. Uuicorns,
winged bulls and birds are used profuseIy. Ori-
entail writing, the hieroglyphcs of the ancient
Egyptians, Persian arabesques and Chinese and
Japanese signs are artistlcalIy converted into
patterns. One design is mentioned as being
peculiarly pretty;' it is scroo studded here
and there Wi th keys some three inches long.
There are at least thirty sorts of keys of differ
ent epochs, capitally rendered Of all the
pleasing novelties, however, which are being
introduced there are none to equal design in
which various insects are introduced.
