Applique is q very f~avorite method of
decorating the surface of unpatterned
materials. Beautiful designs in rich
Oriental %colorings can now be purchased
by the dozen Mt the fancy stores for a
reasonable price. Flights Of sparrows

roses: carnations, daisies, moss buds
ana IVY leaves. and other representa-
tlons OF nature and art are obtainable.
A very pretty tablier recently worn over
a dress of dark green plush was covered
with the eyes of peacock's feathers man
ufactured in silk.
A unique style of evening dress
affected by many young ladies in socie-
ttyy, is a Grecian dress Of palest yellow
Hlndoo cashmere, embroidered in Gre
l patterns. D%oe-colored kid sandals
accompany the dress, worn over stock
lngs of pale mauve-colored silk, en-
%broidered in gold. The flowing, half
long sleeves, also embroidered. are met
by long Swedish gloves stitched with
'mauve silk. The corsage is covered
with a large bertha of costly lace, fast
ened at the belt with acluster of Jacque
roses, tea rose-buds, and heliotrope
blossoms. If artificial, the blossoms
are scented, each delicately, with their
natural perfumes.
A costly novelty in lingerie is agrace-
full collar of black velvet or satin, cut in
vandykes, and richly-embroidered on
the deep points with tiny clusters of
dark red roses and buds, and black pop
pies with golden hearts. The edges are
finished with slightly gathered ruffles of
black guipure lace, with a plated frill
about the neck of the same lace. These
collars are worn without a vestige of
white around the throat. Other collars
in the same style for evening wear are
made of white satin or silk, embroidere,
in white marguerites outlined with tiny
pearl beads, and finished around the
points with frills of pearl-beaded Vene-
tian lace.
1t is now many months since a report
was raised that panniers were ga thing
Of the past and would quickly be out
of style. Many fashion writer's, learn
ing of their continued popularity in
Paris, denied this statement, and it only
needs a very cursory glance around the
parlors of u modistes to perceive how
very fallacious was their information,
and how little probability there exists
of a fashion found so generally becom
ing suddenly ceasing to exist. The
continuance Of this mode, however, does
not prevent equal favor being shown tc
the long redingotes falling plainly over
the skirts, or the close-titting basques
and panels and flowing draperies.
Shawl tabliers-that is, with one
point either in front OF at one side-are
seen upon new imported walking
dresses. If of heavy material, the
tablier is plain and flat, but if drapine
softly, the same effect is produced by
cutting the tablier very long and plait
ing the sides in folds. Round tunics,
raised much higher at one side than the
other, are also much liked. The collec-
ton Of folds at the short side is usually
ornamented by a bow or straps of broad
| ribbon or velvet run through q buckle
and falling in long loops and ends over
the skirt, and often these ribbons show
six or eight harmonizing colors, each
shade being faced with a bright color in
contrast.-M Y. Evening Post.
