The style of certain waist worn half a
century ago is now copied and admired by
ultra fashionable young ladies. The waist
is sharply pointed front and back, while
over the front is laid shirred piece which
reaches from the throat to the extreme
point, where it ends in bow and ends of
satin ribbon. The sleeves are pulled and
shirred, and are exceedingly high on the
shoulder.
Tailor.made costumes of dark blue,
green, or brown velveteen, with toque and
muf to match, will be in great fashion this
winter. The furore for velveteen is greater
than ever, but it is positively necessary
that it be of the best quality only. Some
very attractive costumes are being sent
over by leading modistes of London, Paris
and Vienna, of combination of soft
wooden plaids and velveteens, and also of
velveteen and ottoman cloths in mono.

James Freeman Clark say we cannot
overestimate the Importance of mothers
and wives in their homes, or the great work
they have to do there. Only that they
would do their work less well, but more
effectively, by enlarging their sphere,
opening their minds, and helping their
husbands and sons in public affairs. One
can fulfill all lowly duties better by rising
sometimes to the highest, as the lark scars
and sings in the upper air, and then drops
again into its nest.
Some of the new French polonaises of
velvet are shaped in front to form a waist
coat. The sides lengthen into long panels,
which reach nearly to the foot of the dress
skirt. The trimming borders these panels,
and is carried up each side of the bodice
portion framing the waistcoat. Handsome
medallions and pendants of passementerie
are placed in the center of the panels, and
on the richer models these are very often
nearly covered with magnificent silk EN-.
broidery tufted with raised chenille work.
One of the prettiest new wraps, to be
made en- suite or of silk, has the short
shoulder seam and the sleeve rounded from
it to the front in dolman shape, while the
one center seam fits the back. The sleeve
may be laid in tiny plaits on the top of the
arm, nearly to the elbow, or it may be a
half coat sleeve, or it may be an angel
sleeve with the tight sleeve under. The
back is in tabs from below the waist line,
where it is filled in with plaitings of the
material, silk or satin. Four yards of silk
are required for the jacket, or one and one.

The winter CONNECTIONS are most of them
admirable as to style and the fabrics em-
ployed-rich velvet brocades of rather
large design on ottoman silk or satin
grounds being among the most fashionable.
The ottoman silk foundations are the new
est. In fact, this beautiful fabric com.
bines advantageously with almost every
known material. Plain Lyons velvet is
again much worn for both large and small
CONNECTIONS, and many redingotes, visites,
and Newmarkets are being made of it by
the principal modistes. The trimmings
are either bands of fur or lace, chenille
fringes, handsome ornaments of chenille
and silk cord, or deliberately. beaded ap-
pliques.
