NEW DESIGNS
The Princess and tho Matildo walking COS.
TUNES are both quite new and tasteful; either
combining well with the octavia uaoqus. in
case an outside garment bO added. The
Zolins viAits Is another street garment Of re-
cent introduction, but this is ept in circle
shape. The PAnier polonAise, showing the
now boufIaut back, is handsome design for
house or carriage wear. For the benefit of
ladies who make their own garments, will
mention that z. and P. Coats have received
the gold medal at the Paris Exposition for
their spool cotton. This however il only .
confirmation Of theawards Of all Expoaitions,

SOCIETY ToILKrrEs
have written Of the handsome lowered
ribbons called the PompAdour. Well, then,
should you hear anyone speak Of Pompadoui
silks, you will know that they arc exponents
on = more extended scale Of the same idea
l could not possibly give you an idea Of how
handsome they are. yet even they do not
come up to the hand embroidered silks.
wrought entirely over with the delicate and
refined traceries OF the akilled work-woman's
needle. Satin is the favorite material en-
ployed in combination with these beautiful
fabrics, and in general the satin falls in the
continuous sweep characteristics Of the court
train, while the embroidered or Pompadour
silk is disposed in front or elsewhere As may
seem appropriate. Brocaded silks are also
brought largely into requisitiOn. The great
er number OF toilettes. even for evening, are
made high or square neck with elbow OF long
sleeves, but sometimes Tor evening. the neck
is cut low, and. in this case, the sleves so ex.
tremely short As 20 seem no sleeves at all
Many tsilettes are cut in one, but an equal
number show basque and trimmed skirt
The basque is often pointed back and trent
and finished by heavy cord; sometimes
there is no point in front, soft belt from the
sides giving finish, or again VIC sec the soft
belt even where the point in front is retain.
cd. Flowers are almost ignored. II they
appear at all, il is only as looping for which
nothing else will answer, and oven bridal
toilettes are very sparingly adorned with the
traditional orange blossom. An evening
dress made BY Worth for Mrz. Russell. the
beautiful daughter Of ex-iudgc Hilton, who
married last winter. Is Of pale pink satin and
bt6cade silk. The rofzage IL satin is a
basque pointed back and front, with square
neck filed in with Meehlin Lace. The Aleeyes
are long. The front Of the skirt is composed
of the brocade in pattern OF peacock plumes,
and at the back train Of satin falls A

a charming evening toilette devised by
mOdiste Of this city for VIM. ii. Yanderbilts
only unmarried daughter is Of pale blue satin
united with hand embroidered silk Of cor
responding shade. This IL made with basque
pointed ct the back, finished with soft belt
in front, and elbow sleeyes. The skirt Is =
united throughout in a most artistic manner.
The ganteline, 50 called from the Frenck
word gant, meaning glove, Is coming rapidly
into favor. This Is not wonderful, since it is
exceedingly pretty and also convenient. 4
hook is passed through the baton hole Of
the ffesS on tne 'front.' OF the corsagep ana
pendant therefrom on the outside, is short
chain, to which any imaginable device is at
tached, such as boat, fan, medallion, cross,

The hook inside is of such shape as to form
a glove buttOner, or upon occasion, may be
used TO fasten n shoe or boot. Only first
quality gold is ssed.
