REvIEw OF FASHIONS.
For the multitude of short dresses
which supply ladie, with costumes this
season there are various designs, al
most equal in popularity. Young ladies
like best dresSy basque designs which
have square or else surplce-shaped
necks, filled in with soft, e~asy-looking
folds of lace, or with squares of silk or
satin in high colors, laid in plaits, which
are not caught down, and are generally
diagonal. Lord Stanley scarfs, copies
of those worn by gentlemen, are also
used in the square openings Of basques,
and these are of the gay satin, silk, or
velvet which trims the dress elsewhere.
Pointed basques are among the
first favontes, just at present,
and many such styles. plain in
front, have snowy extensions at the
back, with either the center or else the
side-forms caught up in curving lines,
well trimmed NJ the points of fastening.
To give variety u otherwise plain
basques, young ladies have sets Of satin
or else plaid velvet comprising a gathered
fichu, a belt with chatelaine bag, and
sleeve trimmings, which they pass from
one customer 10 another. for instance,
from black silk to an olive, or blue gray
cashmere. etc. Polonaises, either de
tached or forming part of the costume
continue Ia be seen in the best materials
New designs show panier draperies
which are adjustable to the figure, and
always of the most precise kind posi-
bic. The backs of polonaise bodies ar
!; similar To basqucS in shape, and have
4 either long side-bodies reaching to the
shoulder, or they have the short
rounded, s~ide-body ending in the arm
hole. The latter design is newest n
present, and appears in the larger mum
Der of imported toilcttes. When TIL
panier drapery is arranged for a slender
= figure, it is massed well at the sides an,
D drawn sharply back; for stouter ladie4
4 it is placed lower, curvlng over the fig
ure and having its terminating plat
l taken in with any seam back o
the hips. Some of the best polonais
: effects are seer in costumes which rep
resent a trimmed skirt with ~polonaist
attached. These, when well made, ar
4 handsome for street OF walking suits
4 and are graceful in nearly all wool fab
rics. POlonaises for the house are mad,
quite bouffant, and are really Ions
basques. The f~ullness ut the back
placed wherever it is most suitable TO
t the figure, but the graceful appearance
of the Marguerite design is not yet for

garments. When a basque-like effec
