-. HINTS FROM ELSEWHERE,
Embroidery Of all kinds will be the
rage for some time to come, the hand
work taking the. lead, ,affording IN excel
lent opportunity for young ladies of in.
dustriou. 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
kinds-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
and the like. are of wood or vegetable
ivory. painted in sets, each one in differ
ent design. ,.. The essential point is this,
that the objections shall not be incongru-
Gus, but have some relation to OF corre-
spondence with each other, and also be
proportionate in size.
The few buttons Of this kind that have
been seen have been. painted either for
or by private hands, but 1t il stated that
at least one or two of those houses that
deai'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 q little gem in the
rough, incrusted or imbedded in it's nat
ural rock.
Another most exquisite novelty consists
OF small skeletoni3ed insects, grasshop-
pers, butterflies and the like, executed in
the most exquisite GOLD tiligree, 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 a
fourreau dress of slate. gray fail!e and
black satin and old-gold fa,llie striped
pckin...> The tablier and waistcoat are of
the striped pekin. The train, without an
trimming, and the middle Of the back are
OF slate-sray faille; the bodice, low and
square, has reyers Of striped pekin, as
vel. as he'sleeve. which is finished at the
elbow with fluting of Grape lisse Tnere
IS small white chemisette inside the
bodice.
Childrens costumes are principally
made of vigogne, 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 frck, 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 rule, and the white guipure is put Oh
over navyblue, bronze green dark garnet,
or iron or beige gray fabrics.
A short costume for. young girl is of
plaid tartan with dark blue gronnd. In
front, the skirt is Killed Scotch fashion.
