ECONOMY IN DRESSING.

time or thought in its getting up. The
Princess costume, now SO fashionable,
has been in vogue for several years un.
der various names and notifications.
1t has been called the GabIlelle, Redlng-
ton, and Watteau, and has always
proved neat, tasty and serviceable, and
ior those VINO have little time or money
to spare from OLher and more serious
pursuits is especially desirable. Made
I'D in black or dark-cOlOred cash
mere, and trimmed tasUily with
bands or pleatings of silk OF the
same shade. A suit will always look
slylish. and with care will last at least
two seasons, and can be worn on al
most any occasion. The Breton SUITS
will no doubt continue III iaNor, ana
they are exceedingly pretty ana sultaDle
for street or business wear. we rec
commend all wool suits for ladies who
have neither time or taste ior elaborate
dressing, as wool goods never fade, and
one dress will outwear at least three OF
any other fabric. A Breton costume
made up in cashmere, debege, or Gamers
hair. and trimmed with bands OF SILK or
worsted galoOn, and ornameuted with
buttons, Is safe investment for 1all
wear Tor ordinary occasions. and prin-
cess dress or polonalse IN Ine
same fabrics will scarcely look old
fashioned Tor some time to come. In
fact, a lady needs but three suits 10
dress handsomely and we'll, namely,
Breton costume for The street, princess
dress tor house wear, and black SILK
for best. AS we are among those VINO
believe that tue Vagaries OF fashion
keeps the wheels of trade IN motion, we
never preach economy in this direction.
Let those who have beauty, taste and
means adopt every change proposed by
The tickle dame, in the comfortable be-
lief that whle crafty lug what some
may call thelr vanity aud love OF dis
uIay, they are yet benetitiDg their work
| ing sisters to whom every Grange IN the
| tas hionable world brings remunerative
employment. Better for the money
earned by the gratItCaIlon OF harmless
vanity than the pltGance doled out by
the grudging hand OF Charity Phila-
delphia Item.
