bination with the new copper colors, with
which it contrasts well.

on it is putting a ring OF the finger of a pretty
girl, all against a ground of dead gold.
The Queen has tabooed bangs n fringes

under what difficulties southern women

If you mean to wear one of the rife green
suits which will be the model next winter,
you will do wisely to lay in now a stock OF
moss-green gloves, which will be the precise
thing to wear with our suit, and are likely
to be hard to find when you want them.
For the winter, light cloth or plain each
mere will be combined with plain velvel,
more frequently, perhaps, than with striped
velvet, which has been much abused. The
latter will be reserved for corsages that are
different from the skirt with which they are
worn. Such corsages are rarly made of
plain goods.
The new colors are such as to delight the
refine taste. There are, to be sure, the
brightest shades for all who desire them, but
such tints as mulberry, deep claret, with a
sort of smoky hue, all shades of heliotrope
and olive dulled by a gray cast, dusky,
yellowish browns and the dark rifle green's
are most distinguished.
Lace nounces are again to re worn, ana
upon rich evening dresses at a very elegant
ball lately given i'll Paris two danes wore
satin dresses so trimmed. One was OF
Persian lilac, trimmed with Venetian point,
and the other OF old gold satin, with a deep
lounce of point de Raguse. The effect was
said to be remarkably fine.
Black dresses are more than ever in fash
ion, and some of them will be of exceptional
richness. Such, among others, are dresses of
black Grape or black tnlle, embroidered with
gold, amber and iridescent beads. These
beads have a dazzling effect, heightened by
the sombre background. The foundation OF
such dresses is always of black satin.
Evening gloves are a little brighter in tint
than those of last season, to harmonize with
the dress goods which will be worn. The
length of the glove remains unchanged. The
wrists are bound in either white or colored
and even pinked, if that style of finish be
fancied. while on a few pairs imported by
special sorder, there is an inch-wide white
hem which is as ornamental as bracelet.
