1lghtrftting palctot and an apron over the skirt.
The PrlnccSS-shape1 back has drapcrieS on the
lower part, formed from the tuI1Eess OF the skirt.
This is very new model. good way to make
i polonaise is to cut one OF the fronts into n
bias, and leave fulness enough to allow OF its
being taken to the lower part of the skirt and
drapcd there. Where it opens it is trimmed
with cordcleres, tas5els, and ornaments. Around
the border is j passcmenterie open work, band,
and fringe.
handsome polonaise is made of a new ma
fcrial called vclours DE- laine; it is lnossgrecn,
aud is to be worn over dark Russian green vel
vet skirt.
A very important part Of the DRESS md one
too often neglected. is the sleeve 1t is difficult
to decide upon the shape and trimming before
the reminder OF the dress is made. 4 plain
suit e1acts a simple sleeve; for this reason
Princess dresses have plain tight sleeves, closing
on the outside by means OF one or several rows
OF buttons. Sometimes the sleeve is trimmed
at the wrist With plain fiat cuff This cuH is
either sewcd On or initiated. 1t is useless ut
present to trim the sleeves ut the wrist as the
newest cuffs turn over the sleeve.
Habits are made Of cloth for walking pur-
poses; for evening wear light silk vest is add
cd. Habits and vests are trimmed with white
lace such US Maincs and Valcncienne5.
Very long do'nan Fisites are to be much
worn, aud do not conceal a pretty furm SO thor
oughly as many Of the shapes now III use
Among these articles is a garment cut in the
back in slawl-sllape, having dolman sleeves and
patetot tro1lts, 4 large coat with side-scamS
only, and trimmed in the neck with three capcs
and pclisse, which is especially adapted to those
ladies who do not wish to Aol1 to the different
changes of fashion.
All WOODEN and failc suits will have small
cloaks with a hood, or three or four capes.
Waists cut open square in the neck have been
the means of bringing to light very useful
fashion. AS this open square exacts neat
guimpcs, amt will, besides, prove cold for win
ter wear, plastron is now made OF the same
goods as The dress, forming Il hcart-sbapcd
piece, ending at the waist in point. This plas-
tron is lastc,led in the hack OF tic neck by
means Of the galloon with which it is trimmed.
4 model in this style is Of scal-colorcd ftile,
with IL bordering Of embroidered velvet, worked
with mordorees and clair tie lune beads. The
polonaise is Of scal-coloreI cachemirc, and is
worn over Il velvet skirt in the same colur.
The cardinal dress is likely to be adopted, that
is to say, the cut OF the dress, not the color. 1T
is simply long tunilue, cut open in front,
forming Il close garment over the skirt. and
dil,al eros nc Tours. In the back is IL hood.
Aprons are hardly ever to lie seen on the new
dresses. Skirts are trimmed up the front with
galloon, bias bands OF silk, lace, and fringe.
Sumo Princess polunuscs have rcvers, which
are much trimmed. The full trains arc plated,
with the plaits hanging loose. The fan.shaped
trains are taken in under large bows.
i new tichu made to wear over the square
lowIccis waists, which to be worn this witt
tcr for ordinary purposes rs we'll rs for full
dress, is simply i black dottei tuIlc shawl
trimmed with two tufc plated ruillcs. 1t is
made large enough to allow The upper part to
turn over anu form kind Of large collar. This
tichu is fastened over the breast urler sn'all
bunch OF daisies. The two ends arc then taken
anu l}i1led On The left side, under another bunch
Of tile same flowers.
