A MAGNIFICENT TRoUssEAU.
the trousseau OF Miss Dalston, OF Balti-
more, is one of the most remarkable that
has ever been made in Paris for an Ameri-
can girl, comprising varied and novel
styles of great beauty. Among these is
a walking dress OF gray velvet and amber
colored satin. This combination is a nov
city, and is enc of the most effective ever
issued by Nignon. The design follows the
lines OF the figure, the only tOurnUre effect
being produced by the large double fall in
the back of the skirt, so disposed as to
snow lining of the satin as well as to
display ruffie OF the same which finished
the edge OF the underskirt. The front of
the skirt consists of a lattice-work pat
tern OF gray and amber beads as large as
peas, over amber satin, edged by a design
representing fern leaves and hare bells,
which are detached from the main fabric
and hang loosely; the flowers being COM

These are strung on silk. The upper part

| the beading, while a deep buff below is
OF the velvet. The sides of the skirt show
a deep fold of the velvet, held down at
very wide intervals by bead ornament
in medallion pattern.
The hat accompanying this costume is
a medieval shape, the peaked crown be-
ing In amber satin and wide pointed
piece Of gray velvet turning upon the
two sides, while over the top fall shaded
| grey feathers. Two gold daggers cross

and is one OF the reigning shapes in Paris.
Another and equally remarkable cos.
! tune is in the new ''sea blue" which is
neither blue nor green. On the unique,
| which forms the oVerdress, is hand en-
| brOidery,ivery widely spaced, in a pansy
| pattern, the flower being of the natural
size, andln blue much darker than the

| is a s'matadOr" jacket of gold thread,
! knotted and open, with a deep fringe on
| the top of the arms, forming epaulets.
| The vest is OF white satin. The skirt is
of velvet, it's right side yelled in lace over
/
lowed with gold thread. The left half is
in narrow folds OF satin, held down with
| gold thread ornaments, representing an
tique coins. This dress is intended for
receptions at home, but, as it can be worn
as carriage dress, it is accompanied by
a curious cap-like affair for the head of
satin and velvet, with two tiny stuffed
canaries on the front, held down by the
| cOin-like ornaments as On the dress. The

waist. An immense garland Of heather
traverses the entire front of the skirt.

skirt. The pointed bOdices have an en-

detached and dropping. To be worn with

where many elegant toilettes were TO be
seen, was the one worn by the charming
wife of a well-known English artist, Mrs.
