AT a large charity ball lately given in Paris
there was observed a large proportion of
black satin toilets, the most distinguished be-
ing that of the Countess of Bechevet, describ-
ed in the London Queen thus: ''The skirt cut
with long train, was trimmed in front with
motifs of passementerie, representing the
cactus flower. The pistils of each flower
were marabout feathers, mixed with Jet.
There were draperies on each side of the
skirt and the low bodice had epaulettes, and
a narrow row of lace for short sleeves.
The epaulettes, or rather shoulder
straps were diamonds, inasmuch
as these were arabesques of small bril-
lants on black velvet foundation. The
lace of the sleeves was embroidered with Jet,
likewise the trimming on the bodice and the
borderiH0 to the basque. A band of black
velvet encircled the throat, and a single dia-
mond star served for headdress."
