The pannier Of the season will be
slightly bouffant at the lower part Of the
waist, from this it gradually slopes out

OF the skirt. The bayaleuse still re-
mains as final finish for handsome
dresses; instead of being made OF thin
unwashable material, they are now
made Of fine organdy and handsomely
embroidered.
In making up combinations Of silk
and velvet, the skirt is made of silk. AZ
also j. perfectly plain pointed BASQUE.
The velvet is then made into a court
cverdress, with long square train.
Sleeves are made very narrow the entire
length, and fit very closely at the waist.
The entire trimming consists of small
pointed Danish cuff and row of six
buttons extending up the outer seam.
There are stylish plans for making
up wool costumes in which silk plays q
prominent part, viz. When three nounces
OF the wooden material are placed
around the skirt, and an apron front is
formed OF narrow ruffles OF silk, dra-
perry for the back is formed OF the WOOL
en- goods, and is fastened at the sides at
the termination OF the ruffies by groups
Of fancy buttons, or reyers Of silk NAV
be added, il preferred.
A favorite arrangement both for
evening and walking dresses is that of
looping the skirt after the fashion in
which soldiers loop their capotes when
on the march. Each front is turned
back and fastened on the hip, or even at
the bottom Of the back Of the waist, by
an ornament, the whole disclosing an
other skirt front covered with lace and
embroidery, and almost always of diff
ferent color from the upper dress.
Among the wash fabrics Of the COM
ing season, the zephyr-cloths or Scotch
ginghams will have prominent consider
alton. Those Of this spring differ from
those Of last spring in the disposition Of
the colors rather than in the colors in
troduced. As q rule, they are in sim
gle shade of a single color, or two or
three shades of q color and white, with
the occasional introduction of black.
There are small and medium checks.
and large plaids in broken patterns;
hair-stripes in the warp, of Chinese blue
and pink; plain giDghams, Of warp and
woof Of the same shade Of color: or
brown. Chinese blue, pink, pale sea-
green and black, woven in warp Of
white. These goods are held at from
so 70 10 cents per yard, according to
quality.
The first new dresses shown for
spring have basques and coats with vests,
overskirts, and lower skirts that cling
to the figure in front and on the sides.
and are very simply trimmed around
the bottom with one or two plated
fiounces. They are made OF the satteens
and lawns with borders, and are very
fancifully made with two or three kinds
Of goods in single dress. For instance,
a gay little dress of cotton satteen has
q demi-trained skirt Of sky blue, with a
long apron overskirt of the same; much
wrinkled across the front, and edged at
the bottom with broad band Of blue
and white striped satteen--the stripes
instead Of bias-and be-
low this is gathered white Russian lace.
The vest is Of the striped stuff, and 50
much Of it Is visible that il really be-
comes the basque Of the suit; jabot of
lace i down the whole front Of the vest.
Above all this is tiny coat Of cream
and blue and red lowered satteen,
sloped away from the top of the darts
very far on the sides. Every detail Of
an elaborate costume is carried out in
these simple fabrics. The coat is piped
with blue, and has a striped revers coll
lar. and down the back Of the overskirt
are draperies made Of the lowered and
striped STUFF.
