that border the front.
The fashionable silvcry gray is called
! fumfe de bOiS, or wood smoke. To diStin-
guish 1t from the brown London smoke /;
the new red is rouge S0fgiant, or blood
red.

aud smoke-gray shades that are toned
down 10y a Simmer that is shadow-lke
and gives i charming effect. Smoke-blue
l. trimmed with garnet, and sunny-brown
j. combined with green.
Swiss belts OF leather or velvet are worn
| By Young ladies with cloth dresses. They
are made with points in front, the upper
one small and the lower very long. and the
back is plain, straight band. jet belts OF
fine beads very close together are worn
with velvet waists.
Clouded plads Of old-iashioned faded
cOl0ring, or minute checks that are almost
| invisible, Turkish cloths with raised loops
| like Turkish tOweling, Niclma cloths Of
| dull color, and blocks OF tan-cOlOr with
green OF brown with red, and several
other odd mixtures, are the materials used
for winter ulSters and raglans.
Application trimmings Of black velvet
beaded with Jet and gold beads are among
the most fashionable trimmings for satlns
and fine wool goods. The Renaissance de-
signs, with rich curves, graceful lines. and
foliage. are most snowy in this applied
embroidery, and are used for yOkeS, vests,
cuffs. collars, and tabhers Of winter dresses.
For stylish Embarrassing the back hair is
brushed from the nape OF the neck to the
top OF the head and twisted there in fan
tastc coils which are not large. Pins and
combs fasteI the coils and are made OF tor
toise-shel, gilt. or silver, with Rhine
stones. 4 slight fringe is on the forehead
and on the nape Of the neck as wei.
Long dolmans OF velvet with flowing
sleeves pulled high on the shoulders, and
bordered with fur, are among the richest

diniere designs OF flowers OF natural color
brocaded on black or blue MORE ground.
Elephants heads, tigers teeth, and other
india designs are in vogue for clasps, pins,
and many small trinkets, and are said to
have been fr,t worn by the Princess OF
Wales. The new pendants to chatelaines
are liZard-Shaped scent-bottles, silver
hunting-horns, tiny mirror set In the
shell of a tortoise, and apencil shaped like
caterpillar.
Basques and sleeves are made OF two ma
terials. such As silk and velvet, OF the same
color oddly arranged or with utility In
view -as, for instance, corsage will have
a velvet yoke with silk below it, or the
side pieces OF the basque and the lower
part OF the sleeves will be silk and the rest
velvet: thus the parts that wear out quick
" are made OF the less expensive and more
lasting fabric.
