Popular Materials and Styles.

SHORT suits continue in wear. A new
material has just been brought out for
these suits, called "crepe de laine.''
This material is in one color, and de-
rives its name from the old-fashioned
Grape. which it resembles. It comes
in all the rather dark shades which are
in fashion this season. such as seal col
or. bottle green, garnet, scabieuse.
claret color, and others. The suits arc
trimmed with plush in the same color,
and with handsome fancy buttons.
Sometimes the suits have butterflies in
applique work, which have = very.
pretty effect. They are in bright col
lors, intermixed with gold and silver.
These butterflies must be arranged
with taste and according to their size.
Sometimes a single butterfly will suffice
to cover half the collar, and another
for the whole cuff. If the butterflies
are of ordinary size, they are placed ON
the bands which trim the suit.
Embroideries are still of the richest
kind. In addition to gold and silver
work, beads of all kinds are used. A
charming design consists of q garland
of oak leaves, made of mastic, colored
beads and gilded cordings, with .
fringe trimming of the same. A very
peculiar way OF using embroidered It's
sues is as follows: The Princess shaped
plastron is Of bottle-green satin covered
with embroidery, and is taken down
over the velvet dress, which ID in tho
same shade. The embroidery consists
of various flowers in many bright
shades. The skirt, which Is fastened
to the side Of the plastron. Is apple-
green; it forms 10 the back square
train, bordered with full ruching Of
white Irish gauze. The velvet dress IL
fastened to the plastron down to the
end Of the bust, from which point it II
raised in paniers down to the end Of the
train. The square opening Of the waist
Is trimmed with shell-shaped white
lace, this extending down the borders
of the plastron. A hounce of the same
lace borders the velvet draperies. The
sleeves consist of . velvet putting for
the top, with plain piece Of satin
down the center. The lower part con-
sists of a velvet plating, bordered with
white lace.
