Little people. boys, misses, and grown
women all wear jerseys.
Shot silks aud stripes of velvet and
satin are worn by Parisians.
The leading sleeve is in the coat shape
fulled in on the shoulder.
Skirts are short, scarcely touching the
ground, and slightly raised at the back of
the tournnre.
Some leading dressmakers are trying
to introduce the straight unlooped old
fashioned overskirt.
Black gloves will be revived for wear
with all sorts of dresses and on all Ccca-
sions except weddings.
Kid and alligator skins are used in the
natural colOrs and in dark green and
brown shades for bounets.
-Steel-gray cashmere is becoming, worn
IS a pol0naise or tunIc, over a gray OF
black velveteen skirt.
The most fshiOnable buttons are bull
let shaped, small, and when of steel, jet,
or metal are iacetted.
There are fashions in weddings as in
dress. Some years ago what was supposed
to be English style was introduced The
popularity of this style lies in the alb. ence
of bridesmaids, the presence of best man,
and the substitution of ushers for grooms-
Pmen. The best man follows the groom
from the vestry and holds the groom's hat
during the ceremony. But, after all, this
does not seem to be the genuine English
style. II is rather a sort of compromise,
for mild Anglo-maniacs, between the Brit
ish ard the American methods. The true,

la France, mourning dress is prescribed,
by an unvarying etiquette, for q husband,
one year and six weeks; for grandparent,
two months and a half. The French
mourning is much lighter and more Orna-
mental than the English or the American !;
the heavy Grape veil is seldom worn. In
In ENGLAND widow wears deep mourning
for two years, and Grape and wollen stufis
are alone considered mourning. In Amer
lea people wear deep mourning, with Grape
wells, for two years often for parent, child,
or husband, or brother or sister. Many
wear it for life, regarding it as an act of
disloy atty to the dead to tighten it. 1t
would be q much more healthy custom
were Americans to adopt the French law in
regard TO mourning dresses,
The favorite coIors now are grays in
soft, dark shades q new green. gunpOwder
blue, cigar brown and a bright golden
brown. The new green is q cross between
myrtle and bottle green. In one light it
looks like sage, and in another it resembles
the more blush tint Very few of the new
costumes are made entirely of one mate
rial. Combination Is the order of the day.
Brocade and velvet, vicugna and brocade
are all combined. One of the novelties
consists of q tiny embroidered sprig on a
ground of different color, and made up
with plain material. An extremely pretty
costume of this description is in dark blue,
with geranium-red sprigs. The greater
part OF the dress is made of plain blue ma
terial, very cleverly draped in soft, close
folds. and forming very ample tunic.
The edges are cut out in deep rounded tabs,
each trimmed with five rows of stitching in
thick geranium silk. This trimming runs
round all the edges of the tunic. The
bodice, and . panel at the side of the skirt
over which the tunic opened, are of the en-
broidered material, and the portion of the
skirt which appears beneath the tunic is
also of the same. the tabs and the basque
are lined with geranium sarsnet.
-You have Rad and heard many lee
lures on the sin of going to church to see
what people wear. A woman who goes any
where except 10 ball or show room for
such q motive is of course silly woman,
but q cultured woman . week or two since
spoke to friend of sundry ill-6tting gar
ments and inhsrmonious coIors she had
seen worn at one of our city churches. She
went to church that morning to hear dis
tinguished clergyman. She listened to- the
sermon and made it her own, but her eye is
trained, and she could no more help 8 eing
the dress Of the people around her than she
could have helped hearing the ungramst-
ical sentences if the preacher had spoken
them. And there was no more reason why
she should not have seen them than there
was that she should not have known when
a cloud passed over the sun.
III she had been asked however, about the
service, she would not have described the
peoples garb. She saw that only as An &C.
c-ssOry, as when you 20 to visit your friend
you may note what is pretty in her house
or manner that may improve your own or
what you will reject, but your motive in
making the visit, We trust, is not this. Life
is made up of SO many things, not meat. or
drink, or clothes, or pleasures, or solrows
or JOYS. or duties separately, only as each
fits into the other. Each leaf on the tree
is OF no consequence except as it helps to
make the rounded whole. Dress should be
one of the fine arts, q means of growth to
higher life-never an end, any more than
learning to read is in itself an end. How
many people have ever thought why they
learned to read.
