The round waist is conspicuous among
French costumes.
Black Ottoman and black velveteen
in the new London dye are to be much
in use as stylish walking costumes for
elderly ladies this spring.
Velvet will be combined with the airy
gauzes and other transparent tissues
worn the coming season. Gauze bod
ices, it is said, will have velvet facings
turned down to form bertha. SINH
lar facings are added to the short
sleeves. and cockade bows of velvet to
correspond are set here and there, but
terfy fashion, among the folds of the
cloud-like drapings.
Killings, plated flounces, panels.
wrinkled apron tunics, .paniers laid in
soft folds over the hips and carried back
to form the waterfall drapery in the
back; Grecian drapings, the graceful
Vatican styles SO becoming to slender
women, and full-trimmed plastrons, and
tabliers, high standing fraises, and
guimpes, together with magnificent
fabrics and gorgeous coloring, are each
and all fashions to be followed this
spring. The fashion of Quaker-like
simplicity, however, yet remains; and
rigid plainness, provided the drape and
| fit are perfect, is allowable upon all
indescribable air of art and finish about
it which belongs to any successful
toilet, however elaborate or however,
simple
Muslin delaine, q fabric resembling
nuns yelling, will be a very popular
material the coming season. and beauti-
full patterns are already shown, the del
icate grounds strewn with gay flowers
and foliage in exquisite tinting. These
figured materials are made up with
plain Ottomans or merveilleux, and
form exceedingly stylish and becoming
toilets. A beautiful evening dress dis
played as model had an underskirt of
cream-white Ottoman silk with alter
nate wide ruffies of Oriental lace and
shell-plaited ones of the silk. This
trimming is met midway the length of
the skirt by French tunic of cream
white muslin delaine brocaded with APP
pie blossoms. The pointed bodice is
also of the muslin over half-low lining
of the silk, with deep Richelieu collar
reaching to the shoulders. The back of
the skirt is caught up with pale pink
Ottoman ribbons. Similar bows and
ends fasten at the throat.
Broad striped materials worn under
tunics of plain material will be in high
fashion again this spring. A pretty
model just received is as follows: The
skirt is of cloth, with alternate stripes
of deep golded yellow and coffee brown
plated to show the golden stripe par
TALLY. The tunic is Of brown Ottoman
cloth bordered with seal-brown plush.
The very short jacket of the plain cloth
opens over gilet of the plush fastened
with gold and brown enamel buttons.
Very startling are some of the mixtures
of colors in the new spring costumes;
for instance, q dress and redingote of
ruby Indian cashmere with gloves,
feathers upon the cap bonnet, and muff
decoration all of the brightest orange.
Undressed kid seems to remain in
favor not only for shoes and gloves, but
great many pretty bonnet crowns are
made of 1t. These are usually embroid-
cred or worked with steel beads; or if
the shade of the kid that is used is dark
tan, the beads are usually Of bronze and
gold. A costume also lately worn had
cream-brown panels of kid on the dress
of crimson plush. The panels were en-
broidered in small pink and crimson
carnations, and a piece of the embroid-
erel kid was let into the front of the
bodice. The bonnet and the Suede
crown embroidered in ruby beads, and
the Suede gloves, wrinkled to above the
elbow, were embroidered to match.
All plaided tissues, chessboard de-
signs, and checks of all dimensions
lighted up with brilliant lines of color
ing in one or two shades are much in
vogue for children's costumes. These
are trimmed with velvet or plush.
Auvergnat velvet or ribbed velveteen
dresses are often trimmed with ap-
plique bands of unbleached embroidery,
or deep lace borders worked in crochet
with unbleached pockets. sleeve revers,
and deep cape collar to match.
1t is said that at Brighton, England,
there are to be seen any number of
fashionable young ladies of wealth, who
affect the high-standipg collar, broad
expapse of habit shirt, jaunty waistcoat
and cutaway jacket, eyeglaSs, slender,
cane-like umbrella, and derby felt hats
which distinguish, through like attire,
their masculine acquaintances from the
swXl mob and the doubtfuls who infest
Brighton. These ladies do not 90 so
far as to adopt the tall canister hat,
this, perhaps, seeming a little too ex-
treme for even the English masherette
or the dudino. ~ Y EreninQ Post.
