gate are studded all over with fine diamonds.
The.little prima donna, like all other singers
has great many valuable jewels, number
of the most magnificent ones having been
given to her by her godmother, Mrs. John
W. Mackay, the wife Of the bonanza king
but she is more proud of the bracelet her
lover locked on her arm than all the Others
in her possession. Just now she is greatly
interested in her trousseau and many and
elaborate are the wedding clothes. The same
modist that made Miss Mackay's trousseau is
being employed to make the wedding dresses,
while Worth, the great, is making the gown
to be worn at the ceremony. Worth is also
making some elaborate CONNECTIONS to be
worn on the concert stage next season.
The wedding dress itself will be of
white uncut velvet made very sim
pie. but with an unusually long
train. Then there is heavy white ottoman
silk for a reception toilet, while among
others are a pale pink satin with pink Grape
draperies, shading punches of silver grapes
that climb up one side another, pink satin
and cashmere shrOuded in valuable real
valencienneS lace; another. pink dress on
coral tint, also profusely trimmed with lace.
In blue there is pale crepe de chine trimmed
with pale crystals, blue in two shades of
velvet and satin, with a petticOat of cut blue
| jet. Two other blue dresses with soft creamy
caShmeres and pale mauve used in the
draperieS. A white silk with silver threads
woven in part of the fabric is used in the
| bodice and draperieS. Several other white
toilets for various occasions and several
! black dresses, these being composed princi-
pally of lace and jet, and then there are a
number of Redfern cloth walking dresses
that will be in great demand, as Miss Nevada
! is q great lover of walking and outdoor eX-
erciSe. With all these gowns there are
| gloves and boots to match and the daintiest
bonnets, most of peaked shape called the
Nevada hat, and of style the singer has
| lately made the fashion. After the dresses
of course, come the white garments, and
these are all fashioned of the finest linen and
trimmed with lace and hand embroidery,
with an embroidered monogram on each
| article. There are dozens of everything, all
in sets, and comprise the daintiest mass of
needlework that would make the heart of
any woman happy.
COMBINATIONS FOR AUTUMN DRESSES.
Combinations of plain and figured goods

| wool will be chosen, one of which is plain,
and the other striped or in small set figures.
The newest stripes shown are rough boucle
| or Astrakhan cloths, alternating with
smoother stuffs, which, however, are only
smooth by comparison, as they are heavily
| twilled, or in such wide diagonal lines
that each line stands out like separate row
/ of braid. The boucle stripes are very effect
| i've, and will retain their appearance, because
they are formed of curls or loops of tightly
twisted threads of mohair that are imper-
! viOus to dampneSS, and are not easily
crushed out of shape. Woven borders near
| a single selvedge are parts of many dress
| patterns, and these are of boucle stripes
! broad enough to be arranged as panels or as
| eptire fronts of skirts in combination
| with the plain goods. Ten yards
! of dOuble-width wooden goods
are sold as a dress pattern, and in the new
| combinations there are two and a half yards
OF fancy striped or figured stuff with seven
and half of plain material. The plan re-
mains in favor of using plain goods for the
| corsage, sleeves, and drapery, combining the
! figured materials to the lower skirt, and as
garniture for the plain corsage. panel, a
| border at the foot, a narrow front breadth, or
else the entire front and side breadths, are TO
be made of the figured goods, and if a sash OF
! the material is used, the figured fabric forms
/ the ends of the wide sash of the plain stuff.

cases an entire vest in the fashion OF the pres
ent season. The very high band or officer S
| collar and the small cuffs may be OF velvet or
| plush entirely different from the other parts
| of the dress, but they are also made OF the
! figured or striped goods. Flounces are not
used on these heavy fabrics, and pleats of
| skirts are very scant, with all their breadth
thrown ON the outside to look wide, while
many skirts have the front and sides entirely
| plain, with pleats onlyin the back.
STRIPES

| various wool fabrics to form combinations
with the new crinkled wool grapes, the
| English serges, and plain camel s-hair- The
| stripes vary from fourth OF an inch to
| those two or even three inches wide, but the
designs most largely imported are made up
of even stripes that are each an inch and a
| half wide. Many colOrs appear in the
| smaller stripes in one fabric. red, blue, green
| and orange velvet lines being raised on a
brown or blue twilled wool surface; but in
| the wider stripes two colors in contrast, or
| at most three colOrs, are preferred. There
are also many wide stripes of wool and
velvet of a single dark shade of sphinx blue,
1 plomb, bronze, lynx brown, castor, or myrtle
| green, and these will be liked for their quiet
| tone and rich fabric. Among the popular
contrasts of colOrs are brown with green,

warmer than plomb, for which merchants
predict great popularity.
