The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1877-03-22

tn1ng else she mas done, ner course
has been marked by wise discre-
ton.
Mrs. Hayes will bring none of the
vices of fashion into our Republi
can court. Her influence there viii
be decidedly of conservative char
acter. She has thus far schooled
herself to believing that there is a
higher mission for woman than q
study of the Paris fashions. She
has been courageous enough, for
instance, during all these days of
frizzes and puffs and frowsy head
edness into which ninety nine hun
dredths of the women have run, to
maintain the simple style which she
adopted years ago for dressing her
hair II il placed smoothly and
ueatly well down on the sides of her
lace, then passed over her ears,
where a Ginger puff" is the only
effort at ornament. This viii be
the style she viii follow at the White
House. But if her hair is worn
plain it does not follow that she is
dull in society. On the contrary,
her intelligent features are the home
of grace and good sense, and incon
versation she has few supeTiors.
Her good sense was decidedly
shown in the purchase of her out
fit for her new life in the White
House, the entire cost of which did
not exceed 5000.
MRS. HAYES INAUGURAL TOILET.
Is q perfect combination of ele
gance and simplicity. And as if in
sympathy with the long continued
uncertainty of the result of the
electiOn-the dress is of black-but
ahi it has the brightness of blue
Innings! The finest quality of gross
grain black velvet and pale blue
satin enter into its composition. 1t
is made in the princess form with
out overskirt or drapery, the back
defending in a deep court train,
without sign of trimming to MAJ
it's stately grace A ten-inch knife
pleating edges the lower portion of
the front breadth. Extending down
the entire front is a simulated IN
derdress of velvet, which is cut in
large, deep scallops on the lower
edge, with a double fold of gross
grain. That portion of the skirt
which would naturally be hidden
by the velvet is turned back and
lined with satin, and the lower edge
finished With 8 pleating. Unlike q
revers, this form of trimming is
caught up on the right side, and
confined by handsome loops and
ends of velvet lined with satin. On
the left side the same form of trim
ing terminates where the satin lined
velvet pocket IS placed. The effect
is very grateful and stylish. A
novel and pretty feature is the mode
of fastening about the waist. The
silk, instead of being left under the
velvet, is cut in three well defined
| scallops on either side, which but
tons over the velvet, thus tending
10 preserve the original idea of a
velvet underdress. The vest is
square. The standing collar is of
the same meterial, lined with satin.
The sleeves are coat-shape, haring
at the wrist, where ruchings ofcrepe
lisse and Valencienles fall over the
hand. Ruchings and lace are full
ed in about the throat, where a sat
in-lined bow in front completes the
toilet.
THE EVENING TOILET.
Is of a most exquisite shade Of
/ Quaker gray silk and grenadine.
The skirt of silk is trimmed with a
nife-pleating, surmounted by q
straight ruff1e SET on plain, except
at intervals of ten inches. where
| there is a full, double box pleat
caught down at the top. The nov
city of this trimming consists in
the following arrangement: just
where each pleat is designed to
come, the bottom Of the flounce has
been cut out in crescent shape, and
this curved edge filled with fringe.
1t forms a simple and beautiful
trimming.
The drapery Overskirts of grena-
dine, with wave-Iike folds extend
ing acrosss the front, and the shawl
shaped point resting diagonally on
che train behind. The entire edge
is finished with handsome fringe.
A garniture of mignoneIte and
holiotrope, with a foliage of grasses,
hold the drapery in place from the
waist down the left side to the train,
while a cluster of delicate pink rose
buds secure loops and sash ends on
the right
The cOrsage is cut square and an
illusion 'kerchief is worn beneath.
Folds of silk and grenadine with
Yalenciennes lace and crepe Iisse
ruching trim the neck, and custer
Of flowers like those on the dress
nestle in a knot of gauze in the left
corner Of the square. The sleeves
are demi-length and trimmed with
pleatings of silk and crepe lisse and
lace. An ostrich tip and flowers
and leaves form a simple trimming
for the hair.
