WINTER FASHIONS.

Fashfonabls Promenades.
To have thing well done q high price
must be paid, and the ordinary woman
who cannot pay the high price Is always
looking and wondering, and rarely sue
ceeds in satisfying herself. Sometimes
she will buy wide stripe, and these are
hard to manage, particularly when they are
wide and solid and far apart, and when
the stripes are horizontal instead Of psr'
psudicular they are much more So, Grad
uated, clustered or forming solid border
for the bottom OF the dress they can be
managed, but running all around and
widely spaced between as in many OF the
Balmoral suitings, either the fabric must
be sacrificed or bad effect produced.
All the new dresses show combinatiops
of at least two or three fabrics, except
tailor made suits. The straight collar Is
worn, forming q high open square at the
throat, strapped to the plastroD, and the
plastron itself is in the form OF q breast
plate. The long sleeves are pulled at the
TOD and over the elbow, and full sleeve 10
plated and terminating on the lower arm
IN a deep. close cuff and fat trimmings
In draperies the stiff pufiogs, gathers and
pIsits, which tell all the story, are common
and unartistic. Simple styles are made
simple, and when one connot use drspery
in an artistic manner or pay an artist to
do the work, she should make virtue OF
simplicity and in this way maintain GER
tain distinction of appearance, always
allied to the highest fashion"
It is hardly possible to alter the essen
,isls of an elegant dress. The materials
used are generally the came under different
forms OF textures, colors and combinations,
and the picture studies have Infused the
finest and most picturesque element which
existed into exclusive society dressing
Everything at the present WritiDgis Aikado
Two pieces of Miksdo silks recently shown
are superb One showed white ground,
the other cream, and the designs in Vene'
tan velvet were in several different tones
in brown or wood colors. Evening bon
nets of the came fabrics come in for q
share of admiration and the style produced
10 these was artistic indeed.
The price for pure silk underwear is so
great that only persons with large incomes
can afford to wear them. tits not unusual
to see vests at $40, but one can fed excel
lent garments at more moderate prices.
From Sc to $40 will buy q very nice under
vest and there are some at lower figures,
but those are not we'll recommended, and
the investment would not be profitable.
Fine grades Of merino are far more prac
teal than the low-pricsd silk goods, and
there are medical men who would not allow
delicate patients to wear silk garments I'M
less q thin Atwood flannel is worn under
meath.
White will be worn for dinner, recep
tons, theatres and concerts a great des
this winter. Nothing is more generally
becoming than white; it comes in 30 many
shades or degrees Of witness that there II
no complexion but might wear it with sue
cess. The only thing is to choose the RICH
shade; the cream tints are more generally
becoming than either the dead white or tht
silver white, only the most perfect com
plexions being fully able to endure ethel
the Opaque effect of one or the brilIiancy
of the other. Cream and ivory white aIt
the most favored, and they are found il
wool materials, in silk, both plain and bro
caded, and in plain, embroidered or brocad
| ed crepe de chine.
