die OF the back IN q sailors knot. The
sleeves are of broche finished at the |
wrists with plain cornets and faille |
bows.
For a young lady, the following is |
suitable dress: The whole toilet 10 of
black cachemire. The skirt has short |
train surrounded by founoe bound |
with faille, and deep plating above;
the heading is bound in the same man
ner. The tunique apron Is bordered with |
a braided black and white silk galloon;
it 10 plain in front, slightly shirred in the |
back, where it ie closed under she'll |
shaped trimming OF the same goods, and
ornamented with gall0On. The ama5one
waist has small basque and fat sleeves
trimmed with galloon like the remainder
olthe dress, only not SO wide. The front
Of the waist and tunique is ornamented
with tiny oxidized silver buttons placed
in rows of three all the way down; these
buttons are also upon the middle OF the
small basque in the back, on the outside
OF the sleeves, and on the reverse oil the
pockets.
Among the numerous different shaped
pockets now in use the newest are the
fan pocket, which is straight or turned
over, the aufnoniere detached from the
skirt, and the plain or double she'll
pocket.
The bonnets of the day are ass eccen-
trio as all other articles OF Toilet. Who
can really admire the new shape called
Muscadin, with q large raised brim
trimmed with bright colors; it can also
be made altogether black, and trimmed
with black tulle scarf, bordered with
lace, and a plume placed high on the
crown. The most peculiar combinations
OF oolors are in use; for instance on the
brim of green or Dlum-colored felt bon
net is a sky-blue ostrich feather. Plush
and velour epingle are again to be re-
viyed. -.
Black and white continue in vogue.
Scaris OF white silk matte are still
placed around the crowns OF telt hats.
The materials most employed are bro
caded silk, matelasse, and velvet. A
new kind Of very fine ivory-white llama
lace is very snowy on Dlack velvet. The
ribbons are shot with gold, silver and
steel, and are very heavy. Velvet flow
ers, bronzed leaves, peculiar feathers,
lanciful birds the use of which is
sometimes abused and silver or gold
ornaments ale all pressed into service
| to trim the bonnet of the period. Long
wells are again to be in style. They are
plain or dotted tulle, and fall as far. as
| The knees; they are called wells a
| la Juiye. When the veil is raised it is
thrown over one side of the bonnet.
| Malines point lace and yalenciennes
are also used for trimmings; the average
depth is TWO and half to three inches.
4 rhe lace is placed on the arrows OF the
bonnet in shell shape and mingled with
loops and ends OF tallle or velvet. White
liaces, when used to trim bonnets,
should if possible be new, as alter hav-
| ing been washed the color is not good
ana they become soft.
/ In the line of fancy jewelry a great
deal of gold and silver tillgree work will
| be worn. This kind Of ornament is very
serviceable: when tarnished it can be
| washed with gold and then comes out
like new. Young as well as married la
dies can wear these jewels. Sapphirine
| is still the rage and much more snowy
than Rhine pebbles.
| The winter style in gloves Is as fol-
lows: Giants de Swede are not consid-
cred suitable for winter use, and the fine
soft chevreau glace is only worn for fall
| dress. There are in Paris gloves made
especially for this season. For morning
wear the wOrstedss glove called Kash-
meere is eonvenient, warm, and easily
drawn of and on; it comes with as many
as four buttons. For half dress the Cas-
4 torine, which is OF undressed kid and
very strong, is economical. This glove
is suitable Tor wear with suits of cloth,
| cachemire, yigogne, matte, &C., as it is
only made in dark shades, such as dark
| green, plum, purple, brown and gray.
| The CANT russo is the tull-dress winter
glove, worn with the most elegant vel
vet suits trimmed with fur; they are
very warm, though made of handsome
| fine cheyreau. These gloves are lined
with silken fur, which does not enlarge
| the hand but protects it, and keeps the
skin white and. soft in the eoldest
weather. They are also made in dark
colors. The black and gray gloves are
| lined with purple silk and are used ior
half mourning. The green ones ale lined
| with red and the havane with blue.
Tuey are rather expensive, but SO dura-
BILE that they finally prove quite cheap.
For riding and travelling the. Jeanne
| d'Arc is suitable. Tnis glove is of q
BILE row Of stitching, and 1t has a deep
gauntlet. 1t is only made ia different
shades OF gray.
| The greatest sensation of the Partisan
season has been the trousseau of Mile.
| Louise FitZ-James Stuart, who has just
married the Duo De Medina-C 9ii.
Among the most conspicuous articles
was a rare collection of handkerchiefs,
if such name can be given to these
| tissues, the grounding OF which was SO
covered with lace and embroidery as to
leave no handkerchief at all. There
were in the corbeille about sixty hand
kerchieis, dozen Of which were
worth 1000 francs apiece. ON some the
| embroidery of the crest alone cost 800
francs. They bore the crests of the Ber-
wicks with those OF the Medina-C Coils,
embroidered in gold by means of a metal
| thread which washing does not affect.
The Duchess corbeille further CON-
prised seven cachemires in all the colors
OF the rainbow. One was white, came
from Persia, and was embroidered in
gold and turquois. At the wedding the
bride wore white toilet, with a long
lace train adorned with bunches of
orange blossoms.
The Dowager Duchess of Medina-Celt
wore green faille dress, and a mantilla
of white lace fastened by crown OF
| emerald and diamonds.
The young Princess Nathalie de Scribe
showed great taste by not allowing any
kind OF trimming on the dresses COM
posing her bridal trousseau but lace.
The bridal dress was OF white satin
trimmed up the front with point d. Allen
CON, with punches OF orange blossoms.
The train was perfectly plain. The
