Some of the Novelties Which VIII Be
Worn in Spring and summer.
A jacket called the reversible
jacket Is SO arranged that it can be
in one color, or by turning the reverse
present q contrasting color, and thus
convert it into an entirely differens
looking garment The contrivance is
very ingenious, and to those who like
variety in their costumes this reversible
jacket will be invaluable.
a dolman ulster in cheviot AMI velvet
is most useful wrap at this season, for
it presents dressy appearance and Isl
at the same time a serviceable cover
ing.
A most stylish carriage mantle, un-
common both as to cut and coloring, is
of shot woollen or marcassin cloth,
killed its entire length. The over fronts
and sleeves are in puce colored velvet.
bordered with bear fur, the lining of
strawberry silk. To q tall figure this
proves most becoming,
An indoor costume of shot satin is
ornamented with rich appliques of ex-
quisite coloring. The waistcoat, bodice
and draperies at the back are all grace
fully arranged, molding the figure, yet
without stiffness.
A dress made for recent reception
is of white satin covered with tulle, on
which are sewn innumerable spangles
of sparkling steel This tulle is draped
in the most delicious way over the whole
front of the skirt, which is edged with a
shell-like ruching of pinked-out white
silk. The sides Of the skirt are made
of long folds of white satin arranged
perpendicularly.
These folds are held in position at
intervals by bees and butterflies of fine
cut steel, which sparkle like diamonds
under artificial light A long satin
scarf falls downward upon the skirt,
and is caught up again to the waist.
Where it is turned upward at the
knee group of white ostrich feathers
is placed with few steel tipped mara
bouts among them. The train is of
cream colored brocade, edged with the
fullest poss BILE ruching of soft white
tulle, the folds of which are held down

flies, and occasional clusters of triple
feathers further heightcn its softness of
effect. 1t is liked whipped cream oS
airily heaped white of egg after hard
discipline of the frothing up process.
As rule donkeys are not considered
to be ornamental animals, and vet the
greatest Partisan craze points tc the
apotheosis of the ass. Donkey skin has
become the favored material for adorn-
ing ladies costumes, and prominent
portions of the beast are worn in vari-
Gus ways. One young lady has gone
SO far as to have huge clasp made OF
the fronts of two donkeys' faces to
fasten up her skirt.
A recent wedding outfit presents
some excellent features. The brides
maids dresses are original The petit
coats are red velvet with quite mar
row killing at their edge; over this is a
delicate tone of biscuit cashmere, in the
form of long tunic arranged in a
unique style with a series of broad knife
plaits from the top, so that they spread
out in fan fashion from the front OF the
waist; round this tunic is a band OF
gold and silver lace, The bodices are
OF the Jacket form, with cuffs of the red
velvet and pIastroms OF lisse and velvet.
Among the brides evening dresses is
pale pink plush skirt, with an upper
one of blue broche, equally light in
tone; it is made with baby bolice. A
dressing-gow was made in blue CASH
mere trimmed with cream. 1t had a
new sort of Vatican plat, viz: plated
at the neck. but below the waist it
formed puff, and was invisibly gath
cred, so aiding to the fuliness OF the
skirt
Some embro;deries are worth noting.
They are used principally for the 'front.'
of dresses. For example, black satin
ground, with large peoples worked in
tlne silk. and so tr4e to nature they
seem to be painted rather than worked,
the leaves exquisitely shaded A white
satin ground had large arums upon Il
in pearls and chenille. Another kind i'd
in olive green tulle over satin of tho
same shade, worked Ia chenille of q
self tone. IN Y. Herald
