These with old laces large pearl ear
rings, embroideries of gold ON satin,
pointed shoes and large hats, all date
back to the Renaissance period. Black
toilets are the only ones which, up to the
present time, have been made almost
wholly of faille. A very suitable style
for these is to have the apron of fine satin
shirred up the middle and cut up on the
lower part. This is surrounded by
lace. The train is rather square and
plain to the lower border, where there is
a gathered trimming. There are no
puffings on this toilet. The waist is cut
square, with plain buckle on the belt,
and falls over the hips in long pointed
ends, trimmed with satin, to form a
"habit" in the back. Over the breast is
small halfvest, shirred like the apron,
and two satin revers are on each side.

these toilets. As outer garments, visites
are much worn. One of these is hand
some when made of seal-colored plush
and lined with the same colered satin.

and another one is over the shoulder,
which forms large sleeve, fitting into
the back. This sleeve is draped in the
seam, near the lower border, to form a
panier. On the inside of this panier is a
small pocket. The trimming consists of
handsome seal-colored c0rdeliere with
"cachemire' heads intermixed, sewed all
around the garment and the sleeves. On
the left shoulder is passementerie orna-
ment, from which depends a cord and
tassels. A black armure cloth paletot is
also trimmed with cordings. 1t is cut in
a Louis XIV jacket, with a basque turn
ing over. Around the garment is silk

skirts. One is to cover the skirt with all
kinds of materials, embroideries and in
sertions, the other to have the skirt per
fectly plain, with only very full balay-
euse on the inside border, and unique
made of rich material, without any dra-
perry or looping up. These dresses are
very tight fitting in front and over the
hips. Short skirts for walking purposes
are generally trimmed; cachemire de

paitings alternating in blue faille
and ecru goods, and a plated
blue faille drapery. The round tu-
nique is of broche goods, opening over
the apron, where it is fastened on either
side by two groups of plaits and is
draped over the sides in the back. The
back is slightly raised in a puff. The

blue faille plaitings, from under which
comes an ecru one. The Jacket is of
broche goods buttoning down the mid
