The Latest Novelties in Dresses. Royal
Laces and Gloves FurbelOws and
Gewgaws.
Costumes for the street, as distinct from
those for the house have not been permit
ted to escape the variation, and consequent
contradictions, which at present belong ia
all the details of ladies' dress. A novelty
is announced and disappears almost before
it sees the day, to give place to something
still more novel or return to ancient styles
of years gone by.
The new figured fabrics manufactured
with especial reference to the long, simple,
graceful styles now worn, have had so
much success that they are sure to be fol,
lowed by others of the same character, and
also intended for designs of the same class.
In fact it would be difficult to improve on
a really elegant dress of the period
POPULAR DRESS MATERIAL.
The material called neigeuse has be-
come so popular that all woolcn stutis are
made to represent this appearance; all are
speckled faked and dotted with soft wool
or floss silk. The clOth-vigogne-which
is so much used for paletots, mantles and
jackets, is in great favor, is soft, warm and
light and, being inexpensive, will proba-
bly, be much in request for costumes.
Thibct cloth, thicker than vigOgnc, is of
finer texture and sprinkled all over with
long hairs Real Thibet cloth is a very
expensive and handsome material; but
there are many limitations in different
qualities and atyarious prices.
The material called mousse and bourette
are very similar to the neigcuse, in fact,
they seem to be only different names for
the same thing The trimming most suit
able to this material is either velvet or
plush in plain bands, but for cashmere or
plain cloths, number Of fancy galloons,
&C. are employed with very great effect
Another style Of trimming which may be
had ready made and which is very effect
i've, is a border embroidered of colorcd
floss silk over Il strip of cloth Of the same
shade as the dress. Shades of moss green
are the most fashionable for this cmbroid-
cry.
As for the styles the drcssmakcrs have
modified many of those which have been
/ in fashion during the past few months;
however, the long polonaisc is still cOnSid-
cred very useful for ordinary wear, and the
costume with gilct, for some special OCca-
sions os well os on thc blousc and plastron
of various kinds which latter are surely,
if slowly, coming into fashion.
TASTE vs.. FASHION.
If must Inc remembered that color and
fabric have much to do with thr effect tbot
certain STYLES produce. What is pertrctly
