The Registers Mirror of the
STYLES.

Styles.
WHITE jet is used in trimming bridal
dresses.
PEARLS are among the most popular
and beautiful Of gems.
BRooCHEs in the shape of lizards and
tortoises are fashionable.
The old styles of linked sleeve-but-
tons are worn, and the variety OF these
is great.
The general remark at present con-
corning dress styles is that common
sense prevails"
HANDKERCHIEFs are quite pretty
worked with fine red and yellow cotton
in HOlbein stitch.
OvERCoATs are worn moderately long,
either in sack or surtout shape. Brown
is the most popular color.
SOMETHING for Christmas gilt for a
gentleman is a silk shaving case, shaped
like a japanese fan, and decorated with
hand-palnting
GENTLEMEN stylish white linen peck
et-handkerchiefs have a narrow hem.
scarcely hall an inch wide, and cOlored
japanese initial in one corner.
ANOTHER pretty gift for one of the
stronger sex is a wash-leather tobacco
pouch, painted oy hand, and bound
with satin the color Of the leather.
CoRsAGrS with deep, long point will
be in favor for ball dresses, but most
popular corsage for dinners and balls
will be in the shape OF a masculine coat.
PRETTY reticules are the horseshoe
shaped bags OF yellow leather, with
black rim about the width OF the shoe,
studded with nail heads, which the girls
are wearing for luck.
\ HANDSOME semi-dress suit for gen.
tlemen for day receptions, church, etc,
has frock coat and vest made from the
same piece OF black 'worsted diagonal
while the trousers are q neat pattern OF
stripes usually, and dark in color. The
frock coat OF this suit is what gentlemen
call the Prince Albert coat.
One OF the late novelties is the finish
OF kid lace at the top of handsome gloves.
In some cases the lace corresponds with
the glove, yet frequently il does not.
Black gloves are finished both with
black kid and with white kid lace, and
i'm the latter case the stitching on the
back OF the glove is also white.
SOME one says: in the days when
Jenny Lind sang in Castle Garden, no
lady would have ventured within hear
ing Of her voice unless in full evening
dress" But at the present day fashion
is less arbitrary, and AL depends upon
circumstance as to how much or how
little one shall conform to any set rules
in dressing for the opera or theater.
