woRTH's ToILETTEs.

A costume recently devised by Worth
for Mime Marie Roze, is of pale lavender
silk. The corsage is low, and strictly
speaking, there are no sleeves. A slight
fringe of lace falls over the arm, and this
by courtesy, we will call sleeve. 1t is
made tight fitting round basque, having
a row of point lace around the neck.
The skirt is without trimming except a
narrow row of knife plating around the
lower edge, and falls plainly in heavy
court train at the back. But the chief
beauty of this toilette is in the exquisite
lace over-dress which is draped in truly
artistic style, and carelessly caught on
either side by q boquet of pink roses and
leaves, one of which is placed high up,
The other quite low upon the train. Anoth-
sr lovely toilette is pink satin combined
with the new corduroy velvet of similar
shade. The dress is cut in one through
put, the corsage low, sleeves extremely
short, and full court train. Over all is
spread what seems fairy Frost work of
white jet set in lace like pattern. A
-hird handsome toilette is composed of
wine colored MORE antique combined
with black velvet and fringe. AS you
will see by this MORE antique has come
up again, so if you have any of such
fabric slowed away, now is the time
10 bring it out. Possibly, however, the
color, if it be cOlored, may not be fash
onable shade. This indeed would be a
serious drawback, so if you doubt, en-
close me sample, and will give you
my opinion. Old brocades, or rather
lew brocades resembling old ones, are
now brought out, and here also you may
lined something which can be utilized.
SHORT COSTUMES.
The inevitable kilt skirt is inevitable
10 longer, for now we sometimes see
short costumes made with plain skirt,
'verskirt above, and only narrow gath
cred or plated f1ounce on the lower
edge. The reason for such innovation
s that heavy winter materials do not al
ways admit of prolonged plaitings. They
would be too heavy, and besides we have
seen so much of kilt plated skirts that
nay be we are getting little tired of
hem. A pretty model, the Leonora, is
partly kilt plated, and partly not, the
pack being devised in such style, while
he front is ornamented with bows,
showing only narrow plating around
he lower edge. No overskirt of course
S worn, but the Cecilia basque is pretty
n combination The Isonde Visite is a
stylish outdoor garment for carly fall or
winter, and as horseback riding is now
7ery fashionable, owing to the present
age for fox hunting, the park riding
habit may be mentioned as having been
'ecently introduced. The Muriel over
kirt is pretty when worn with a demi-
rained skirt.
SHOES AND GLOVES.
For the reason that short costumes are
n reality what they profess to be-that
s to say really shOrt-the foot becomes
IN object of special consideration, and
his, apart from the fact that hosiery is
low, as indeed it has been for some
lime past, so very pretty, that it would
seem quite wicked to hide it. So for in
ioors, we find the changes rung on all
manner of open styles, showing straps
across, although quite recently, such
beautiful boots have been brought out
n brocaded silk that if they are worn,
he stocking becomes a minor consider
alton. For out door wear, plain, high
outtoned kid or cloth top boots are ap-
oropriate, but kid stamped in imitation
If basket or annure cloth is the latest
dea.
Gloves are long on the wrist, and are
either heavey stitched, boquet embroid-
cred, or delicately stitched in self color.
One style is as fashionable as the other.
Colors are either dark approaching the
INVISIBLE, very pale, or in medium shades
IF wood color or gray, but bright or pos
tive colors of any kind are studiously
For evening or full dress, the
Harris Provost side buttoned glove con-
.inues to be the leading style, while for
visiting and many dress occasions the
Harris Seamless is most elegant. Cost
ing somewhat less, we find the Victoria
and Donna Maria which are much liked
by judiciOus purchasers.
TRIMMINGS.
Combinations of two or more materials
are fashionable, and this affords much
variety in trimming, but as hitherto the
plain material is often laid in fine knife
Then we have fringes of all
degrees. Choice fringes are united with
finely cut jet, and are composed of silk
twist, chenille, and crimped silk tape
Snowy fringes are laden more or less
heavily with gilt; laminee fringes are
curiously pressed by means of hot irons,
so as to produce a glittering effect, and
not unfrequently, in different styles are
interviewer with each other so as to give
additional variety. Passementerie is as
differently wrought as fringes, and is
used as heading laid in perpendicular
rows down the seams of handsome out
door garments. AS for buttons, their
name is legion, and could not tell you
half the styles shown. Crocheted but
tons are seen, but choice is also given
among buffalo horn tinted and in the
natural color; pearl, imitation and real
tortise shell, jet, steel, gilt, silver, and
Chinese and japanese lacquer work.
New ribbons are so beautiful and so
novel in design that they are in great
favor, not only because graceful finish,
but becuse by reason of their varied col.
DIS, they give opportunity for introduc-
ing some fine effects in the way of color.
For we must remember that ribbons are
1ften not only double but quadruple
coed, to say nothing of the many hued
0rocade, embossed, and gaily lowered
ribbons. Lucy CARTER.
