-N~-~~
Condor brown is a very fashionable
color.
Shot silks are again among the new
importations.
New towels have elaborate Roman
borders.
Pretty bedroom curtains are made of
single width of crimson Ottoman
cloth over second pair made of antique
lace.
Belts and side bags will appear with
the new spr NC costumes.
Foulards in gay jardini re designs are
Imported for spring polonaises, to be
worn over skirts OF six or velvet in
monochrome.
Serge, cashmere and finest Austrian
wool dresses in pin-check patterns, with
stripes of colored satin alternating, will
be very fashionably worn this spring on
the promenade. Many of these Co.'S
tunes will be formed entirely of the
striped material, while others will be
made up in conjunction with one-col-
ored fabrics; the polonaise or waistcoat
and panels being made of the latter ma
terial.
Narrow bands of fur, despite their
appropriateness, are still used to trim
both house and evening d esses. One
magnificent ira ned robe OF velvet, re-
Gently made in this city, was further
enriched with sable trimmings; tea
gown of snowdrop cashmere was simply
bordered down the front, around the
bottom and at the throat and wrists
with narrow bands of long-ha,red, dark
brown fur, while q stylish matinee of
pink India cashmere had its wide lace
ruffles headed by wide bands of swans
down.
Brill ant-hued arabesques, leaf de-
signs, small flowers and vines, hcraldic
figures and small fruits are now exhib-
tied in new dress and cloak garnitures
of plush and chenille. These are dis
played on the fronts of the Louis XIV.
wa stcoats. the edges of the panels, cut
away jacket, deep collar and cuffs.
Me lium- sized buttons to cores 0ond,
accompany these effective and elegant
trimmings.
Though plain fabrics are just now
less in request than plaids, pin checks,
and brocaded and shot mater ais, the
former are always popular and lady
like, and do not weary the eye as pat
terms must do when constantly before
it. Seal brown, laurel of bottle green,
telegraph, or royal blue, and other self
colors look very pretty trimmed with
several rows OF very narrow gold OF
silver braid. There is great improve
ment in the manufacture of this kline
of trimming. Good qualities do no
read ly tarnish, and are guaranteed tt
stand the a ton of salty atmosphere
which will be a thing much in its favor
as a commendable garniture for sea
side costumes the coming season.
Among the newest imported Jerseys
are those which are nearly covered
with an elaborately beaded embroidery
either in black or with those iridescen
hues, in odd Indian designs, whicl
give them q very Oriental appearance
One very handsome style shows blacl
silk stockinette jersey, embroidered
with small stars in brilliant cut je
beads. A chenille drop and jet firing
finish the lower edge of the bod ce
Sometimes, and generally where ther
is no braiding or embroidery on tn
jersey collars, cuffs OF velvet are nov
added, to relieve the usual plain ap
pearance. These are invariably of th
same color as the Jersey.
Gauzes and tulles, so fashionable dur
ing the winter, will retain their popu
larity. and form one OF the evenin,
DIRE sses PAR excellence the coming spr NJ
and summer. In anticipation of this
our leading importers are sendin
orders fo' new and beautiful patterns
samples of which they have already re
ceived. Among some very lovely dc
signs are those wrought in gold an
silver, showing morning-glories, snow
drops, half-open roses and buds, ferns
trailing branches OF honeysuckle, an
also patterns showing grounds of pa
nuns gray, amber, bronze, dark gree
and sapphire blue. strewn with scarf,
carnations, pink azaleas, four-o' clock
wild jessamine, trailing arbutus. an
geranium blossoms IN varied an
brilliant colors. One new design, pa
ticularly beautiful, is of white Ind
gauze brocaded with golden roses ar
ioliage, mingled with crimson sea moss
tipped with gold. These fabrics will !
made up over low-pr;ced satins of
shade corresponding with the blosso
in the brocade.
There seems to be a growing tpndcnt
for the excessively short jackets, whit
always suggest the idea that the make
were short of material. They most
match the dresses they accompany, III
many are bordered with feathers of Il
same shade, but black and gray a
trakhan, beaver and fox trimmings u
preferable as regards wear, and appeu
ance also. if we omit gray astrakha
which always looks grimy. The ia
that it is poorly i'm tated in wool
another argument against it.--M
