the dress is covered with amber, gold,
purple, and rubyzolored beads, inter-
mixed with emhroideries of chenille in
subdued colors. The waist, which forms
one piece with the skirt, has the plastron
embroidered like the apron, and is cut
low in the neck. Taken over the shoul-
ders like shawl are two bands Of beaded
embroidery, leaving the waist open in
heart shape. The sleeves are replaced BY
similar hands, only narrower, four of
which are on the upper part of the arm.
In the center of each band is purple
satin bow. This same dress can be made
of black satin, with the addition of
large punches of tea roses, combined with
other flowers, placed on the lower part
of The toilet The passementeries are
so arranged that they can be taken off
or left on the dress at pleasure.
A very rich-looking evening toilet may
be of black satin, trimmed with pink sat-
in. The skirt has a long train, trimmed
with deep embroidered band. The
front has inserted pink plated pieces
reaching to nearly halfway up the skirt,
with black satin quilles in between.
Above are crosswise .piaitings reaching to
the vest. The waist is cut open square
in the neck. Revers extend down the
sides, terminating at the waist in point.
The piece between these revers, below
the square opening, is also of pink satin.
The sleeves are black as far as the elbow,
where they are futed and fastened
around with pink satin ribbon. Be
low is rather deep piece Of
pink satin and white lace ruffle. The
lower part of the basque in front forms a
pink satin vest, and deep pink satin
pieces turning back in revers shape. A
very simple style for an evening toilet is
Of white gauze and pink silk. The skirt
Is covered with narrow white gauze
founces. The overskirt is of gauze or
pink faille, forming long paniers on the
Sides The draperies Of these paniers
commence Dm below the hips. The
pointed waist is of pink silk trimmed
with plated gauze, lsO,taken down in a
point. The sleeves terminate 1.-THE ell
bow, and have deep lace ruffles falling
below, surmounted by gauze folds
The plain dominos formerly worn at
fancy dress balls are no more to be seen.
They are now made of the most beauti-
full fabrics. There are two kinds. One
is composed of a very long full skirt,
elegantly draped, which may be very
richly or very plainly trimmed, accord
ing to fancy. with a pelerine fchu, or
small cape, to which is fastened the
shirfed hood, which is trimmed with
lace. This hood takes the head well in.
concealing all the hair. The shoes worn
with these dominos are always very ele-
giant, and are generally slippers of satin
in the color of the dress very open on
the top, with onlyone band across the
foot, with a button, or ornament on the
top. The most elegant slippers have
sometimes costly jewel in place of the
button, handsomely set. The hose
are Of silk, embroidered in very pale
colors unlike those of the toilet, but still
harmoniziug with them. This style of
domino is a splendid disguise, and may
be of silk or any colored satin. The other
style is more elegant, as it does'not dis.
guise the figure, and is preferred for this
reason by many ladies. These doninos
are always either black or white, and
satin is the material preferred. Theya are
made with long trains and without full
ness in front, and cut low in the neck.
The trimming is Of the richest kind.
There are no sleeves; broad bracelet is
on the upper part Of the arm. The gloves
are very long, reaching nearly to the
shoulder, and have from 27 to 80 buttons.
With black toilet they must be black,
and they may be straw-color, or tinted
with pink with the white domino. The
hair must be handsomely dressed, and
over this is thrown very full black OF
white Spanish lace scarf. The heavy de.
sign of the lace, and the thickness Of the
folded over lace will completely conceal
the hair, and the mantilla will fall over
the shoulders. This lace must always be
fastened with punches of flowers. The
same kind of flowers are on the waist, the
shoulder, and on the arm the latter be.
ing fastened to the upper part of the
gloves. As a better disguise, some ladies
have the lace taken well over the fore.
head, and take one end Of the lace under
the eyes, over the mask, like Arabian
ladies' wells. That this mantilla
should remain in place, 1t is plated and
fastened rather tight above the ear with
an ornamental pin. 1t is considered
very elegant to wear a wig with these do.
minos. They are always in different
colors from the natural hair. The man.
tilla is artistically arranged, without con.
cealing too much of the wig.
A toilet for mourning wear may be oi

the same. The tunique consists in front
Of two seams, opening over the apron;
on each of these is a revers, trimmed
with Grape. They are joined by means
