new blackberry buttons" of fine JET are
used on rich black dresses.
For full-dress bodices new cut Is
coming in--viz., high on the shoulders
and en- crur back and front. 1t is not
becoming.
Black linen collars and cuffs are
shown among other things, but these are
to be worn only with mourning dress

the natural outlines will be preserved,
and drapery will be low, caught to one
side and irregularly fastened.

navy and peacock blue grounds, or else
purple violet shades thickly dotted with
white, gray, or gold dots the size Of

or little blossoms apparently falling
from them.
Among novelties in the silk depart
ment are India corahs, printed at
Lyons, in eastern designs, which
are warranted to wash. American pom
gees, many Of them woven in Philadel-

For the general manufacture Of
spring wraps, this season, light supple
cloths, such as camel's hair fabrics,
yigognes and cashmere cloakings are to
take precedence. Choice colors are
drab, light tans, and almond shades,
with mastic and stone gray.
Princes forms of modelling remain
as popular as ever, and are subject tc
any notifications which are appropri
ate. The apron front style Of princes
dress is the ruling favorite at present
and it will hold its way entirely through
the season Of 1880.
Habits Of velvet or satin, oyer-dress
es of tulle or of silk, covered with lace
will be worn all the spring. These habit
are cut like the masculine frock-coat
but have no sleeves whatever, merely |

around the arm-hole.
