name. The fur is long, soft, and woolly,
and of a yellow shade.

with borders of vignette, hand-painted

INDIAN designs and shades continue
to be in fashionable demand. When
dress is combined with material of this
kind and q plain French cashmere, the
most appropriate arrangement is a jacket

the same, and also little interminpled
with the pulled demi.train behind.
No alterations have been made in pan
iers, beyond their ever closer resen.

panier, b0rdered with chenille, falls over
another Of satin, the effect is rich; but
those modes require artistic renderines,
and should not be approached unless
carried out with regard to the wearer' q
height, figure, and general bearing. IA
panier in basket cloth is great mistake.
or paniers under circulars.
TIE now colors for millinery have
been described; but shade has come 81

combination is Of imperial purple and
ivory velvet. The rim is larger Direc.
toire than yet seen, and lined with
tightly.drawn purple velvet, not puff
nor bullion nor fold about the outside 81
inside. There is q kind Of drawn patch

new fancy ivory satin to correspond
with the stringe.
