Something About the Latest Fashion Dis
covcrics ia Paris.
Paris, July 8, l6l7.
There is little 10 90 in Paris Just now be-
You'd cooling ones self with a survey of the
luscious fruit on the top of ladies heads,
and wishing for a taste of the lovely Mon
treuil and Rosnay-sous-Bois peaches which
exhibit their tempting down near no less
tempting cheeks. But if there is so little to
do, there is a great deal to talk about in the
fashionable world, where two items are be-
ing literally torn to pieces.
SERIOUS QUESTIONS.
The clerical fair declare that one of them
is scandalous and sacrilegious. This CON
Germs the new costume, robe de bapteme,"
The other is defined impudent. This con-
Germs orange blossoms.
ORANGE BLOSSOMS IN THE MIRE.
To begin first with the latter, there has
been a cabal among women of the demi-
monde. Since it became universally indis-
pensable to dress entirely in white table
cloths and table napkins, these unwise yir-
gins have discovered that the only flower
that really looks dead white enough near
damask is the orange blossom. But-there
is a tradition about this, demi mum
DANES, as a rule, have avoided ii. At length,
nevertheless, they determined to put tradi,
ton at defiance and to wear first the fruit,
then the fower-both, in fact, together
lastly, the flower without the fruit.
WILL IT BIZ MYRTLE.
What are brides to put on now? is the
question.
If brides were less irritaled than at pre-
sent they would initiate German ladies,
who wear myrtle, and a botanist has lately
Ilf-on,n~o1 +Jay thn,.o orn a fIN,,-ayA atAlaci
and chaste reasons why myrtle should
really be preferred. 1t is our duty simply
to state that the orange blossom has come
from its high estate, but this is no reason
why it should be rejected from the ~coronal
of a blushing maid.
A VERY YOUNG COSTUME.
The christening robe worn as a costume
should meet with less indulgence. 1t is
| made worked down the front and waist OK
actly like the dress of a baby in arms. A
sash Of pink faille e~ncircles the body. The
trimmings are coquilles Of Nalenciennes
the hat worn with it has a soft muslin crown
and a rose is placed in the hair. Boots or
j. cothurns are of white morocco. The NIT
tens are of pale blue tllet.
A REVOLUTIONARY A
New hats are all directories, that is with
wide advancing caleche brims in front and
tied BY means of striped ribbon put on over
the top and tied under the chin. This, and
large round collars are confirming previous
predictions made here.
MIDSUMMER DRESSES.
The prettiest July and August dresses are
made of gray foulard, ornamented with q
pale rose ribbon and c~oquilles of lace, which
run round the basis and up the front of the
tkirt. Plisses are not diminishing they
are rou ,frouting all down tuniques as vel
as all around and up; there is, however,
new way Of putting on %flounces by groups 0
three, called triplets, divided by crosscuts o
by tucks. Basques, too, are, now quite fan
shaped,
BUTTONS AND BORDERS.
Large mother-ofpearl balls are the newes
buttons. The most effective border for
plain lady.like unique is a succession {
liseres-steel, white, red and black. Thi
r is even seen en- lawns.
PARAsoI4s N POCKETS.
Parasols are being bordered round Wit
thick silk cords. Pockets are no longer worl
made like game pouches; they are fiat port
folios, but the %reticule bag is preferred, AM
1t is supreme bon ton to have it carried b
ones cavalier.
> QUESTION o THE FAIR.
This is reyiving the custom of "my lad.
aims pouch bearer but who will |voluntee
to bear anything nowadays?
