NEW YORK, January 1, 1885: Pulled out
like the ballet girl goes the society young Ia
dy. Unlike the ballet girl, not her stockings
but her slippers only on exhibition. The
same piling of tule on tulle till tulle is
lost in tulle and all is may mist of tulle.
Both take equal delight in spangles and at
times, therefore, as an extra effort be-
spangled grows that tulle. Embroidered in
touches likewise, or, again we find tulles be-
strewn with small single artificial flowers and
i'm ported at the modest sum Of three hundred
and fifty dollars; good for but one wearing.
The simmer of silk or satin through veil
ing of floating tulle is another element OF
beauty, and one largely made use of, but at
the same time the effect of lightnpss is I'm
paired while in case OF bespanglement, many
object TO a foundation, the glistPning Of which
distracts the eye from what should be chief
point Of effect. The making of the corsage
depends or should depend on the degree of
beauty bestowed by nature on the neck and
arm. The unlucky ballet girl must exhibit
hers or lose her salary, but strange it seems
that the young lady who should have marked
from her box, the dismal result Of display
of bones, should go and do likewise. Yet she
often does although it is quite allowable in
her case to draw friendly veil over defcI
ency of avoirdupois. No more striking in

could have been shown than was done by
Mile. Nevada when in sleep walking scene
she appears in dress cut low in in the neck
short sleeved and displaying her ankles.
Result long neck, long arms, unsymmetric-
al ankles. She is supposed to be asleep ana

have been not only much more becoming
but far more appropriate. The consequence
of such negligence, seriously impIirs the
effect of pretty face and artistic singing.
Kellogg never exhibited more taste in her
younger years than when she sedulously drew
some friendly covering over her neck. Now
she is plump enough TO look pretty in low
neck and doubtless avails herself of the
privilege. fuviable indeed Is a handsome
neck arm and this winter all possible oppor
tunity is given for showing them. Tulle
dresses have the low round neck, while for
heavier fabrics one may also choose the low
round neck pointed back and front, that with
point in the back aud square front. or the
square low neck with narrow straps over the
shoulder. More Of a paralellogram than a

shoulder. Sleeves are very short and made
usually of the lace, tulle or Grape which trims
plentifully the low bodice. With the tulle
dress the waist is round, but where the low
round neck is employed for heavier material,
the waist is usually sharp pointed back and
front with lacing al the back. The Grecian
bodice is very pretty revival and here the
light trimming is crossed over the bodice Of
rich goods. or an example may be given of a
tulle waist where the material was put on In
folds and crossed to the waist in surplus
STYLE Those who cannot wear low neck,
take refuge in heart or square shaped, the
latter filed in II necessary, the former with
full ruching around II or with plain folds or
narrow lace according TO the desired degree
OF exhibition. Elbow sleeves are generally
seen with these costumes and with all eve
ming toll cites the ways of finishing the waist
are so numerous that We cannot number
them.
