Women who have dull, light brown hair,

The new lace, point d'Aurillac, is silk
lace, with a ground of very fine meshes,
with heavy leaf designs thickly wrought
forming scalloped edges. This is very effec-
tive, and may be worn either pleated or fully
gathered. As it is silk, it does not wash,
but will clean well If sent to a professional
cleaner Of laces. The Mirrcourt lace is very
similar to d'Aurillac, but is all cotton, and
should therefore wash well.
Says the Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Truth: al was glad the other night to
see, at President CREWS, nice young girls
in short light dresses, and with their feet
In those low heeled shoes, which American
ladies call Slippers They we're kept from
slipping off by sandals crossed at the instep
and wound round the ankle. The easy walk
OF the fair Wearers contrasted agreeably
with the hobbling Chinese gait OF bellies
who attempt to add several inches to their
stature by raising themselves at their heels"
1t is becoming more and more the custom
for ladies to attend the Lenten services of
the churches which take place during the
Lenten season. The costume for this pur-
pose is black, and is cut short with jersey
bodice, and simple draped and killed skirt,
which is united to the bodice, the join being
concealed by folds arranged scarfwise.
With this dress is worn a little black en-
broidered mantle, or, on cold days, a dark
gray ulster, and Derby hat, with pale gray
veil folded round it and round the throat.
A silver mounted ebony praYerbook Is car
ried by silver chains.
Ultra fashionable women's arms, saws a
New York correspondent, now look like
legs. The cause of this is the new styles of
gloves and sleeves. Fine wooden gloves,
resembling stockings of Jersey webbing,
are worn to reach nearly to the elbow. If
the arm be plump and taperiDg, its appear
ance is wonderfully leg-like in such COW
ering; and even if 1t be thin, 1t is still like
a leg of the scrawny sort. Then let the ell
bow sleeve have white lace edge, and you
have both legs and drawers complete. at |
a jolly evening party girl thus gloved was |
induced to thrust her hands into a pair of |
child's shoes, drape her waist and shoulders
In child's dress, and, standing behind q |
table, do marionette dance with her arms.
The performance was hit.
Foxes of medium size, some small bon
nets, and very large faring round hats make
up the bulk of the first importations of
spring bonnets. The pattern bonnets shown
are meant for the earliest spring days, and
are OF the closely woven Tuscan and Leg
horn braids, or the split Belgian straws,
rather than the open lace-like fancy straws
that will be used when summer comes. The
pokes are not extravsgautly large, and are
OF much better shape than those worn in
the autumn; the front projects very slightly,
the ears are short, and the crown is quite
close, with either a revers turned up on 1t,
or else a very close curtain band. The
novelty in such bonnets ~ the return to
face trimmings for them, arranged In the
styles OF hundred years ago, aud the use
of ribbons and soft satin trimmings that are
reproductions of fabrics made at Lyons and
at st. Etienne at the same period.-Hdyper's
