EVENING TOILETS.

Will not be commonplace enough
70 write that evening toilets are
beautiful. That is q matter of course.
But there are some characteristics pc
ealiar to the present season, and of
these we will do well to take note.
Prominent here we find close straight
falling drapery..often without any loop
ing, and heavy materials are therefore
emp Dyed to the disadvantage of dia-
phanous fabrics. The latter, of course,
can never be discarded, but this winter
they are but little used in comparison
with the former. Satin, velvet and
plain silk are combined with materials
Of like character wrought in oriental,
bourette and mosaic designes- Superb
~ rich friBges are the favorite finish,
but not to the exclusion of band and
box plating. A low eorsage is the
exception, since the greater number
shaped or pompadour front, the arm
being covered with side buttonei

Iumine dark to lets, but on light coloEs
they are not much u sed, as the eff .cI
would not be pleasing. In the evening
toilet especially is found the OPT Ortun-
ity for apretty stocking, and the art OF
showing it coquettishly deserves seri-
Gus study. The ornsmentation is all
on the instep, and the choice lies be-
tween beads, embroidery and open
