sometimes In diaphemous materfals reiiey-

are lovely cinnamon shades, over which
white lace or thin muslin has an exquisite
effect, particularly N small bouquets OF

come into use again, and are as captivating

But there are ladies who consider thread

made from a spiders web, as "harsn |" and
declare they cannot endure IL; for those
tinted silk Is the only wear, displayed 10 ad-
vantage by the new sandalled slippers, which

JEWELS AND ORNAMENTS.
IL has become Increasingly the fashion OF
late years 10 adapt the ornaments 10 the Coz
tune and 10 discard mere gold 5ewelry. The
penssu;s nAe and he @sss,y Win yellow sold
which are displayed In shop vindows are
never seen upon the person of an elegaute.
They are only displayed upon the outside OF
waking suit, upon the promenade, or al
The theater by persons 20 which their cost
was OF great Importance, and who having
once become their nossessors, hang them out
as an evidence OF their claim 10 distinction
upon every posi- Die occasion. Bracelets have
ceased 10 be fashionable since form became
study In dress, and no woman OF fine taste
Win well moulded arm would now think
OfspOiling II with bracelets. Ten aud twelve
buttoned gloves OF the finest and softest KID,
which Mt like another and more Vel gety
kkin, as the great desideratum. A new
eAtrayaeance abroad Is toe introduc-
ton OF solid gold embroidery, and
a specimen dress has been sent TO tue
Centennial exhibition from Paris which Is
said 20 be worth forty Thousand dollars. N
is simply a rich white satin dress, with a
very long train, hand embroidered IN gold,
and It's appearance would hardly be likely
10 tempt any one TO commit the folly OF pur-
chasing IL at that fgure, or contemplate
solid gold with yearning To see it produced
IN an embroidery pattern. SUI IL may have
the effect to create q demand for nue gold
orusmeriatiOn 20 limited extent, and re-
Ylve the dropping trade in gold jewelry.
= lie gold buttons are among the novelties
Tor the fastening Of dresses, and these are
very pretty and very effective, especially
upon pTune. black. navy blue and invisible
green. Nothing can be I'm better taste than
a handsome faille IN either OF these shades
trimmed with feather trimming 10 match
and fastened down the length OF the long
culrasse BASQUE with small buttons OF fine
gold. AS was remarked, however, the ten
dency is towards ornaments 10 match the
toilette, or towards eccentric ornaments.
We have now complete sets OF Jewels, in
Guiding necklace and earrings, IN exquisite
point lace, in many different patterns, and a
accompanying which were composed OF black
ribbon velvet, embroidered with lubies and
edged with ruby fringe. Earrings mi de of
.Barrow ribbon, either velvet or watered ST X.
Sre quite one of the fashions OF the day. The
ribbon, which Is double, is fastened with a
small buckle OF either pearls or diamonds,
and fringed TO CORES pond, aud for day wear
The ribbon Is ornamented with either steel or
sslver.
Shell and silver still hold a prominent
place, particularly the fine Genoese silver
nlsgree Jewelry, of which there are some ex-
Quisite specimens at the exposition.
But The latest craze is for ornaments In
certain fOreige woods. Chinese and Japan
woods, the Jerusalem Olive, and the like.
These ornaments come In the form OF
sleeve buttons, rosaries with crosses at
iached, and necklaces, and are marked with
eastern characters. But II the demand con-
LANES bracelets and whatever else,laucy may
suggest, but with only SO much OF Jerusa-
lem or Japan about them as varnish and
little clever spatter work can impart.
