broidered up the front.
Bison cloth ribbed, to represent
plush, in very narrow stripes is much
used for underskirts.
A unique carriage costume is of
claret-colored cloth, embroidered with
chenille in large nuts of natural color.
The most elegant embroidered mus
lin costumes are lined with white silk.
1t is thought possible to give them
sufficient color by the addition.
Woollen striped with velvet or
velveteen are among the prettiest
novelties of the season. Skirts made
of them need no further trimming.
A long cloak of myrtle green cloth,
with deep and wide husson sleeves, is
lined with red surah and finished with
braid embroidery in military designs.
English tailors are returning to the
Scotch tartans, especially those of blue

draperies of blue serge dresses and as
overdresses above red skirts.

Velvet and velveteen casaques in
the Louis XIV. and Louis XVI. shapes,
handsomely trimmed with point de
Genoa and Irish crochet laces, are the
popular, drcssy overgarments Of small
boys and little girls.
a novel fancy in bonnet trimming is
to put rcsettes, bows, bands, and chouX
Of pinked cloth on felt or cloth bonnets.

big penwiper, but its originality is re,
ceived with favor.

on the corsage and parements on the
elbow sleeves are also of velvet, GOV

gray cloth lined throughout with gar
net silk, having cuffs and vest of thu

tions of the season-large crochet but
tons of the two colors.
A rosette of orangecolored velvet
with brown velvet heart, is substi
tuted for the daisy On some new velve
bonnets. 1t is very pretty, although
Some men will persist in mistaking i

Among the great novelties in velve
brocades is one piece in which the pat
tern is flying herons in cut velvet on
satin ground, all the shaded parts O
the bird being executed in uncu
velvet.
The small buttons used this year ar
quite as expensive as if they wer
large, for their workmanship is pot
elaborate and beautiful.
Velvets wrought in small design
set very closely all over the surface ar
: in favor for bonnet crowns. The sill
used in the embroidery matches tn
velvet, and the general effect is bright
ened by stitches in gold or silver.
The latest fancy in cloth costumes
to trim them with wide band of a
trakhan plush around the bottom {
the skirt beaded with geometr
