Umbrellas.

Stylish jerseys are decorated with gilt
embroideries down the front, on the
sleeves and edges, while some show the
lower edge in deep points with gilt en-
broidery and braid that follow the vary
ing outlines. In emphatic language we
are thus told that the jerseys holds place
of honor. Given the sight of such as the
above and we know that there are others
where equal efforts have been made.
Efforts towards the pleasing of all Glasses,
the taking away of a certain conspicuous
ness of plainness. In harmony with the
gilt braidings we notice gilt buttons Of
large size and placed farther apart than
those modest silk covered ones hitherto
prevailing. Presently we shall see other
varieties of buttons, and so step by step
this article Of attire loses that pronounced
individuality which offended many and by
yielding conquers. Again we must not
forget the jersey tunics-polonaises in

trust some epithets of denuoiation may
remain for cheap stuffs in general. As
Emerson says, "We pay for all we get"
and your cottony wool that loses color and
texture on the slightes provocation is more
expensive than the genuine cashmere which
you treat 30 gingerly. That cashmere will
outlast it BY many month; will stand

Especially in the matter of gloves let @first

fitting things which worry you in their life
time and hasten to an ignominious end in
the waste basket or the trash pile. AS to
shapes, the remarkable popularity of the
mousquetalre becomes a subject OF re-

In shape that slipper is probably lot es-

EVENING ToILErrEs.
Writing of cashmeres just now reminds
one that white and pale colored cash
meres will form lovely evening costumes
this winter. There are such picturesque
possibilities by fnishings of lace or velvet,
by touches of contrast or refinement Of
entire white or some delicate shade, while
IN economical families, when furnished or
worn often enough, the dyer can be resort

to larger entertainments are OF light fab
rios such as Surah, IRdian or Venetian
silk, and these are some times made
with blouse waists. The first position In
gorgeous New York, however, is given to
brocades, royal in magnihcence and defy
ing description by the splendor of color
ing and designs. The latter are with
scarce an exception quite pronounced, and
perhaps this is a necessity since it is
hardly possible to be magnificent without
largeness. Therefore, rich evening toilet
