PARIS NOVELTIES.

! are the bouquets of wild flowers. Al
flowers, the simplest with the most rare
are tied into buuches, ard are perchet
high OF the chapeaux. The composition
of these punches is veri!able work Of art
for the flowers are beautifully made, aut
when well tied look like real living speci
mems. Bouquets are made up of wilC
roses, surmounted with a sprig Of white
hyecinth and violcts, mixed with sprays O
moss. Each elegante is supposed to weai
her favorite flowers, and some even go so fal
as to have the same blossoms embroidered
on their evening dresses. As il is allow
able for any lady to wear any flowers she
especially adnires, eccentric but most
effective combinations are frequently met
with.
Among the novelties for cuffs ard collars
/ may mention q new variety of trimming,
This is row of gold steel, or silver braid,
or jet passementerie arranged around the
collar, which closes on the left shoulder
a narrow edge of colored satin should
show all around from beneath the collar
and cuffs. 1t must be remembered that
the satin edging must be merely q bias
band Just peeping from beneath the edge
of the cuff and collar. A plating or ruche
is not admissible. Unfortunately, it is no
longer fashionable to wear ruches at the
threat and wrist, and scarcely anything is
worn but plain cuffs and collars Of batiste.
nnumerablc collars are worn of batiste,
which turn over the upright collar Of the
dress. Although this austere collar be

Is not so becoming 20 the generality rs lace

collar, worn some months ago, without
any relief Of white.
Fancy hairpins are more popular than
ever, il I may Judge by the numbers dis
played. Steel, tOrtoise-shell and jet pins
always look well but, as q change from
these, I was shown an owls head in min
iature. Wonderfully natural limitations
they are, 100, made of soft, downy feathers,
from out of which sparkle two bright,
knowing eyes. Dragun-hies and butter
flies are invariably favorite designs for hair
pins; these are frequently made of gold
studded with jewels.
OF ueckerchiefs there IS q large choice.
The latest novelties il this direction are Of
gau5e with 4 plain colored border; just
inside this pattern Of Conyeuionalizcd
flowers is painted III terra Gotta color, and
outlined with gold. Silk handkerChiefs
that have the pattern woven IN are Orna-
Iuented at the corners with the brush.
There is, however no paucity of designs
even here, small as the space IS in which
the artist can exhibit his skill. One that
is now well known shows two cocks fight
ing. Though ! cannot say they are in par
ticular good taste for ladies wear, they are
on one score, and that is the
cleyexness which is displayed in the draw
ing and col0ring,-[ Paris Letter III Cooley.
4 BAIL AT a NoNAN's COLLEGE.
There was bail at the Pennsylvania
Female College last Week-a ball the Ike
of which IS not often seen Within the
chapel the floor was cleared and every
bench pushed back, and on the little stage
at the east end an orchestra was seated
Under the MANIPULATED chandeliers 3 gay
tlTong was moving and IS the music Of
waltz sounded swaved of in the one-twO-
three step Of that fayorite dance. The COS
tunes were brilliant and the scene remark
able at q first glance spectator could
not help noticing them. They didn't seem
t. be cutie the usual thing. Smooth faced
youths they were, a}l Of them with bangs,
and most of them blessed with more back
die with any degree Of grace. Their garb
was not exactly the regulation. The blacl,
sgallow-tajI coat, the standing collar, the
Of snowy linen and the black
WaistC0at were according to stand
ARD Bat The breeches were some
thing new. They we're made OF some
sort OF striped stun and stopped at the
knee. From there down to the patent
feathers the limbs were incased III black
silk stockings The carriage Of these gal
lants was strange, and, on second glance,
you saw they were girls. II was the annual
bali Of the college students and onc-hat OF
them were nlasQUerading IN male attire

musicians, who don't COuHt-bul there

some of them needed coaching in the mat
