same collar may De OF blue satin, cut
in shawl shape. The collar is partly COW
cred by smaller one made of embroi-
dered gauze, scalloeed' on the border. A
gauze neck-tie, matching the collar, is
taken under it and fastened at the
breast.
Around the neck is a bretonne lace
plating. Saffron lace will be all the rage
next season. 1t is exactly the color of
saffron water, and is, doubtless, dyed in
this water. These laces are in designs
initiating old pointand old guipure laces.
They are much used for bonnet trim
mings and ficlus. Very elegant chenille
laces are also made for bonnet trimmings.
The chenille ornaments are very similar
to the silk passementerie cordings which
are SO extensively used at present. All
colored t,ssels aud leaves are made of
chenille. Several bonnets with these
trimmings are made as follows: A capote
OF seal colored satin has small crown,
with the satin drawn tightly across and
the brim trimmed with handsome scarf
OF "surah glace," in all shades of purple,
forming t e strings on either side.
From this scarf hang tiny seal and gold
colored flowers, falling over the hair.
Another bonnet is covered with "drap-
erie-mantIlle" of caroubier and seal
col red velvet, and has a bandeau of car
oubier velvet trimmed with chenille pas
sementerie. Many capotes are being
made for the coming season. A cream
colored satin capote has the ball-shaped,
crown covered perfectly plaiu, with a
handsome cream colored feather taken
around. On the left side is beautiful
bird, which is partly covered by the
feather. The strings are of cream-colored
satin ribbon.
Tunics seem to be less worn from day
to day. They often simply form dra-
peries fastened to the skirt, and are still
ofener confined solely to the back of
the dress. This change comes from the
fronts of skirts, beng generally covered
with shirred aprons. The styles most fa-
vored at present are pufings, divided by
broad bands of shirrs or plaitings, also
separated by shirrs. Un erskirts seem
to be narrower than ever; they are gen.
eraly composed of front breadth, cut
straight, without cores, and only sixteen
inches wide; the back breadth is little
over yard wide. On either side of the
front piece are points, each one being tile
width of this piece.
The flounce trimming the lower part
of these skirts is not generally more than
twelve inches deep and about three yards
long. On the back seam are two shirrs;
one from below the waist is twelve inches
10 g, and the other is further down, taking
tie skirt back. This skirt is generally
sewed to broad fiat belt, so that the
hips shall not seem large. Trimmings
for these are of all kinds, but those most
employed are embroidery and lace. On
the lower part of the founce are placed
from one to three rows of fine embroid-
cry, with the addition of handsome gui-
pure lace. The combination of lace and
embroidery is very elegant for this pur-
pose.
A reception dress for Young lady
may be of bronza-colored satin and wool
en- drmure. The skirt, which is not seen,
is of silk. II is covered in apron shape
with satin plating placed on length
wise, with futed rufles and terminates
with two deep huted founces. On eth
er side of the apron are two pieces of
armure, forming quilles, with a satin
guile through the centre. These three
quilles are placed on the borders of one
another, and are lined with silk. Over
where the skirt is taken back are passe-
menterie ornaments. A breadth of ar
mure in the back forms a puff. The
waist has short basque. The front of
the waist is cut open all the way down in
heart shape, leaving small piece in the
enter for tongue, which buttons across.
Under thiSopeuing is plastron, closing
on the side.
The upper part is plated lengthwise,
and the lower part has narrow futed

there are five or six of the same narrow
ruf1ss. Another reception suit is wine
