Mrs. Langtry's New Dresses.


Mrs. Langtry has not trusted to an En-
glish dressmaker to prepare the dresses for
her Tentree before London public tonight,
but has gone to Worth. Altogether some
dozen costumes have, it seems, been de-
signed. How many may be used we do not
pretend to know. The richest and most
luxurious stuffs that Paris can produce
have been used "There are two outdoor
costumes" says our correspondent. "Tbe
skirt of the first is mouse grey velvet, with
lines of gold braid round it, the tunic like
wise is elaborately embroidered with gold,
and over this falls jabot of gold lace. The
second costume, however outrivals the first
in its gorgeousness. 1t is made of green
velvet; round the skirt runs wide band of
lmpeyan pheasants' feathers, and the waist
coat and revers are entirely composed of
those metallic plumes that glitter and glim-
mer and bedazzel the eye with their Iustres
OF gold, blue, purple and green hues. OF
ball dresses there are also two. One is
composed of white satin and violet velvet.
the tabher is studded with violets and
pansies applique in high relief; the satin
panels are lined with violet velvet; a wide
velvet sash crosses fhe hips, aul falls on the
satin train; the bodice is of velvet and is
decorated with pansies. The second dress
consists of skirt of large gold leaves on a
white velvet ground; the bodice, train and
sash are pale pink velvet, trimmed with roses
and pearl fringe. But perhaps NJ Worth's
conceptions reach their highest point in the
reception dress. This is composed of poplin
and satin in harmonies of pint. The trim
mings are gold and black passementerie,
embellished with large gold coins; the bodice
is of pink popln, decorated with gold
epaulettes." Dress is an important weapon
