ruby or any dark or high color they may be

BLACK AND WHITE DRESSES.
Black AND white dresses, the majority
beaded, are il greater demand than ever,
young girls wearing them as freely as older
women. The new designs show entire beaded
fronts and sleeves; skirts full and straight
at the back and plain or full bodioes with
skirt or vest fronts-beaded as before re-
marked. Some have hounce OF the silk in
clustered or plain knife p eatings, the lace
falling over the top, bat in others, the fold
Of lace extend to the foot of the silk found
alton st the back, the founce protecting only
the beaded edge OF the front.
Among the novelties in materials are i've
beautiful woods accompanied by clustered
stripes to shaded velvet as trimming. Used
as q straight bordering Ii looks like blan-
ket, and care must be used to avoid this eff
feet. The best modistes arrange the stripes
In diagonal lines or make panels of them,
with perhaps q straight strip across the lower
front and the strips put together to form a
narrow vest. They are al. o used for the cuffs
and standing collars. but as the width ad
mits of only two of the strips being used Tor
these purposes they can be put on straight
without detrimeDt.

SPRING WRAPS.
There is nothing new in the small jetted
and cloth wraps imported or manufactured
for spring wear. They ara very dressy-
either covered al. over with Jet or have jetted
sleeves and have draperies of laces. The
lace il not real even upon wraps at $50 aud
500 each, but clever imitation of chan.
tilly, the veining and outlining only being
little more willy. The body part of the wrap
ia very small and forms either a visite or
mantelet, but flow of lace at the back and
often upon the shoulders, sometimes form
ing fiounced sleeves, adds to the appearance
of size. There are also elegant little wraps
made of rich and lustrous black silk and
trimmed with fine embroideries of silk and
jet aid bordering of ruffied lace. The jetted
grenadines, made in the piece, are applied
both to wraps, as sleeves, or entire; and also
to dresses. When used for wraps the body
part is often made of dull satin or satin
Rhsdames Satin is to be used in conjun
ton with jetted lace and grenadine very
largely. for elegant costumes, the dressmakers
say.
The cloth wraps are not left out by any
means, but they are mainly is ecru tints
with trimmings of chenille fringe or passe
menteries studded with pendant chenille
balls. These are a deiusion and snare
They drop, in more senses than one, and
leave little ends hanging forlorn.
