HINTS FROM ELSEWHERE.
! Embroidery of all kinds will be the
| rage 1or some time to come, the hand
work taking the lead, afordins an excel
lent opportunity for young ladies of in
"ustrlous habits to enrich simple materi-
al and render them beautiful.
Caps will be the distinctive head-dress
worn with the short costumes, especially
by young women. They are of three
klnds-the turban, the melon and the soft
'Pouf," or Polish cap.
A new thing In buttons, which follow
close upon the hand painted ties. bows
ana the like. are of wood or vegetable
Ivory, painted In sets, each one in q differ
ent design. The essential point is this.
that the objections shall not be incongru
Gus, but have some relation to or CORE
spondence with each other, and also be
pr0portionate in size
The few buttons of this kind that have
been seen have been painted either for
or by private hands, but 1t is stated that
at least one or two of those houses that
deal in choice fancy wares will shortly
have them for sale.
New designs in jewelry consist of
golden shells, plates or salvers in minia-
ture, upon which is little gem in the
rough, incrusted or imbedded in its nat
ural rock.
Another most exquisite novelty consists
OF small skeletoni2ed insects, grasshop-
pers, butterflies and the like, executed in
the most exquisite gold fligree, and
placed as ornaments upon bonnets, head
dresses and the like. The execution of it
is SO fine as to be really marvellous.
A toilet for the theatre consists of
tourreau dress of slate. gray fail.e and
black satin and old-gold faillie striped
pekin. The tablier and waistcoat are of
the striped pekin. The train, without anv
trimming, and the middle Of the back are
OF slate--gray faille; the bodice, low and
square, has revers of striped pekin, as
vel. as the sleeve, which is finished at the
elbow with f1uting of Grape lisse. There
IS small white chemisette inside the
bodice.
Childrens costumes are principally
made of vlgogne, cashmere, velveteen. or
light cloth. Elegant dresses for little
girls are trimmed with velvet, of which
are also made waistcoats almost as long
as the short frock, deep collars and
facings Thick Irish guipure, so durable
and so effective, is much employed for
trimming juvenile costumes for both
sexes. Children do not wear light colors
as a rule, and the white guipure is put on
over navy-blue, bronze green dark garnet,
or iron or beige gray fabrics.
A short costume for young girl is of
plaid tartan with dark blue ground. In
front, the skirt is killed Scotch fashion.
Second skirt, forming tablier with folds
across, turned up at the side so as to
show waistcoat simulated by cross

second skirt, edged with blue velvet, is
turned up to show the velvet lining. The
bodice, also edged with velvet, slit open
at the bottom in the middle. Long tig bit
sleeves. Large buttons to match at the

Evening and dinner dresses are made
this year in two different STYLES; or falile
and brocaded silk of rich dark 'tints, and
quite high in the neck, with JACKIE: open
ing with ineroyabze facing turned back
to the shoulder, and showing waistcoat
Of the richer and more effective material
A light ruff1e of white lace completes this
style OF toilet. somewhat sober, but ex
tremely elegant. Long facings of bro
caded silk, similar to the waistcoat, com
mencing from the hips. little to the
back, come down over the train, and are
edged with tiny fittings. The sleeves are
long and very narrow. The other style
of toilet is of light colored silk fabrics,
such as failie, satin, MORE, or brocaded
silk, or two or three of these combined.
The dress is made with paniers, and a
low necked, square or oval shaped bodice;
the sleeves are short to the elbow, and
finished with white lace triilings and
loops of narrow double faced satin
ribbon. The tablier, which also forms
the front part of the bodice, is covered
with white lace, gauzs fittings, and
narrow ribbon.
