stitching, or done in silk in a style similar
to that seen on China Grape shawIs and
fine woods, where the entire front breadth
IS thus ornamented, are indeed lovely.
These different embroideries are self col

while not unfreqaently an intermingling
OF velvet is put on in applique style.
China-fgured woods are also Yeritable nov
elites. Here the designs show in

the Bhina silks, familiar to everybody.
Elegant dress patterns come with success
sive founces in flowers and leaves of bold
dimension, while the polonaiseis of plain
wool with perhaps narrow bands for sleeves
and corsage. Like q revelation, too, are
the figured woods, imported without special

we are transported TO vistas of the past,
where visions of a former self bedecked IN

hues and often Of no mean size. Other
woods have quite large figures set far apart
where greatly III favor are two rings one
within another: conspicuous spots growing
gradually less till the border line of dots
is reached. But here the dots are OF con-
siderable size and some distance apart.
Then, too, appears the irrepressibIe en-
broidery OF the day. Floral figures done
in embroidery and dispersed at intervals.

VELVET.
mention made above to velvet put on
in applique among embroideries is one
sign among many of the prominence of
velvet. No description can do Justice to
the figured velvets, where rich floral pat
terms stand in relief on large repped or
Saline surfaced grounds. Ideas are bold:
mammoth roses larger than in nature,
lying wide open among ex-
tended fern leaves, ETC., etc. The
repped ground, too, is significant
as showing that the family of reps, among
which we hail gros grain silks, is now look
ing up from obscurity. But satin still
holds its own, and is seen in some of the
latest importations. Plain velvet. how
ever, IS q leading material, appearing i'll
combinations or made in entire costumes.
Especially in demand comes nonpariel
velveteen, which, now that its admirable
qualities have been made trial of, is more
than ever sought after. This is not sur
prising, since it posses every quality pc

from one to two dollars per yard. But be

imposed upon by counterfeit. An ele-
CANT imported costuAe was of
ruby velveteen united with
satin of similar shade, while an
other was of olive green combined with
fine satin surfaced wool. The latter was
made with stylish coat shaped polonaise,
