W0REH's COSTUMEs-THE LATEST
PARIsIANNovELTIEs.
The latest importation Of
Worth's costumes are elaborately
trim med, and tho materials are
principally silk and cashmere. 4
walking suit disposed in dark
prime gros grain has the skirt
quite demi-train, with the back
gore cut "Watteau," with garEi-
ture Of bias velvet one shade dark
or than the silk. The sides are
beautifed with pIaits and tiny
rutties. The front is arranged en-
torme Of an apron, made very long
and left open on the right side.
The appearance is decidedly bi:ar-
re, and the entire costume is pro-
fuseIy orne with jets, fringe and
costly lace. Another exquisite
toilet designed for full dress eve
ming wear-tho material is heavy
Lyons silk Of a very pale sulphur
hue, combined with gros grain Of
an almost invisible pink tint. The
skirt cut full court train, which is
beautifully trimmed with point
lace intermixed with knife-plated
rntf1es, and the whole is richly fin
ished off with clusters Of flowers
and tiny vines. The ccrsage cut
low, Pompadour sleeves to the ell
bow, aud trimmed to correspond
to the skirt. A carriage-dress, ar
ranged in moss-tinted velvet, skirt
cut demi-train, and gardishcd with
a founce Of guipure lace, headed
with beaded gimp ofa singular
leaf pattern. The basque is cut
in front to form the appearance
Of an apron; this is richly en-
broidered, and every leaf, flower
and spray is dotted over with fine
cut beads; the effect is bewilder,
ingly beautiful, and forms one of
the most attractive garments in
the exposition.
Skirts for the promenade wear
arc about the same length as those
worn last summer; they are cut
a very little narrower at the bot,
tom. The close.ftting skirts are
still in vogue. Knife plaits arc quite
the rage for all kinds of costumes.
Velvet trimming is popular, and
jets are everywhere, it is almost
impossible to get enough Of this
glitterlng garniture on a mode
toilet. "Cuirasses" arc favorites
and when made of velvet and
fashlonably trimmed, form a pleas,
ing and er-becoming toilet &C.
cessory.
Bonnets and hats are growing,
and let us hope that they will ac-
quire the trick Of covering the
front of the head, and not confne
themselves SO exclusively to the
crown and back part of the head
The useful and natty French felt
chapeaux are quite the rage Of
course velvet will be the leadin 9
style for winter wear. Long
plumes are again up for favor
Gros grain ribbons are very much
used on hats, and pretty scarfs are
also noble garniture for made
moisclle's chapeaux. Dark flowers
are favoritcs !; still, gay foliage Of
all kinds is used. The wide brin7
hat, with left side tipped back, ard
crown Of medium height, is a re
cherche headgear for young anC
middle-aged ladies. Hats with
"aaring' fronts and sides indent,
ed are designed particularly fol
girls. The nobby hat for a young
lady has the shape ola gentleman.
chapeau, high crown, medium
brim, with garniture quite simple
and yet expensivc-long Ostrich
plume, pure jet algrette, and some
costly gem 10 complete the whole
and present to Ladye Faire :
"love ola hat"
Bows Of subducd colors on the
belt, wrists, and even worn on tht
back Of the promenading JACKIE
or polonaise, are considered quite
effective.
Wells have considerable freedom
They arc worn generally to sui
the taste Of the wearer all de

chapeau; hence, large, small
short, long, round and square veil
