The number of red dresses, of all ma
terials and shades, is surprising. A
remarkable specimen is in sang de
bGuf Indian cashmere, trimmed with
bands of shawl-patterned cashmere, cut
apparently from an old Persian shawl.
The center of the shawl was used for IL
Spanish mantilla, lined with red saith
M Merveilleuse and trimmed with deep
fringe Of many colors.
A great rose revelry was accomplish
ed in England recently by the countess
Of Cork, a granddaughter of George
Canning, to which all the guests were
invited on condition that they would
pay court to the queen of English
flowers, So the ladies arrived smoth-
cred in these luscious blossoms, each
dress from head to foot being dedicated
to some new and beautiful specimen.
The fair girls came rebrescnting the
white and yellow roses, the tea-scented
and the glory Of Dion, the shell pinks
and maiden bushes suited to their
modest purity, while the darker beau
ties chose the crimsons, the scarlets, the
carmines, and the black purples,. that
| were twisted into the rich folds of their
raven.hair and well nigh hid the MAJ
terial which their dresses were compos-
ed. Decorating the banisters and the
walls festoons ofreal roses were found;
they swung from lamp to lamp, and the
very floors were carpeted with rose
leaves sending forth "dream of pur-
pie color and hid SPICE"
