lace painting. The sleeves, which are
rather short, have the same trimming.
On the right side, below the panier, are
loops of satin ribbon. Young ladies
wear, in the evening, very long, tight
fitting waists without any trimming
They are of plain or broche silk of very
fine quality. The Louis XIV waists are
still worn with elegant toilets Many Of
these are of light blue brocade, with
founces in light tints. The large vests
worn with these articles are of faille in
the shade of the grounding. They are
trimmed with Bruges lace, either arranged
as a jabot, or gathered in shell shape.
The vest is closed by means of light shell
and gold buttons. These buttons also
adorn the revers and large side pockets
The sleeves of the waists have deep cuffs,
trimmed on the inside with lace. The
waists will be of black silk and India
cachemire for walking purposes, and
trimmed with fringe, lace, and beads.
Dinner and indoor dresses are made in
all colors. Many of these toilets are Of
mauve satin. This color will be much
worn, combined with a light shade Of
purple. These shades can be combined to
great advantage. Some toilets have,
with these two colors, trimmings, in
small quantities, of tea-rose satin. A
large bunch of tea-roses is worn at the
waist, with light green leaves intermixed.
Black satin toilets are still de rigeur. A
plain black satin, embroidered with jet,
may be composed of an embroidered satin
apron, over which are plain plated satin
scarfs. On one side is an embroidered
satin guile, fastened to the front, and on
the other side it is fastened to the satin
draperies. One of the scarfs is taken over
the embroidered guile, and fastened on
the border of the skirt. The skirt is
trimmed around with satin plated
founce. The cuirass waist is of embroi-
dered satin. The straight fronts are,
when buttoned, of the same shape as the
back. The back forms long basque,
trimmed with satin pipings. The waist
is open in shawl shape in the neck, and
trimmed with plain satin ruching. The
long sleeves are also trimmed with plait-
ings. On the inside of the neck and
sleeves are crepe lisse ruchings.
An indoor toilet for an elderly lady
may be of faille and satin pekin. The
skirt has a round train. 1t is trimmed
in front with breadth of putfed satin,
and has two small pieces in the back
bordered with satin plating The same
kind of plating borders the skirt in front.
The train is trimmed with a plating and
satin ruching. Down the front seam
are ribbon loops. The waist is in pos
tilion shape. The plain front has two
cores and buttons down the middle? The
back forms square position, with in
serted satin pufiings on the lower part
of the back seam. The small turned
down collar is also of satin. The long
sleeves have satin cuffs, plaitings, and in
serted puffings. The round buttons clos
ing the waist down in the front are of
tinted pearl. The coiffure worn with
this toilet is of black guipure lace,
trimmed with black satin ribbon.
The fancy silks made for winter use
are striped; they are very varied, both
in color and design. Oriental designs
will continue in use. A Louise XIV
jacket just brought out is of red cache
mire, with the gounding almost covered
with fanciful figures. The basque, col
lar, pockets and sleeves are lined with
red silk. This jacket is very beautiful
when worn over a dark silk.
Some very pretty children's suits may
be made as follows: For little girl
about ten years of age, a suit may be of
lilac faille and "bengaline" in lighter
shade. The round "bengaline" skirt is
trimmed with deep plating. The
polonaise is of the same goods, and but
tons up the front. A small. plated
drapery is placed on the lower part in
front, and extends up the back in bias.
The back of the dress terminates in a
basque, formed of two hollow plaits. In
front of the polonaise are two faille
reyers The round collar is also Of faille.

One of these sides is draped against the
edge of the vest, and the other in the
side seam. The back is cut "tailleur'
shape and falls over the skirt in square
piece, which makes the puff. The vest is
shirred down the middle, forming two
plaitings; this is sewed against a lining
which hooks'on the side. On the lower
border is lace rufle. Around the vest
is trimming of the same lace, made in
shell shape, with bronze-colored satin
