IL was IN a piece OF several yards, and
was simply draped, and caught here and
there with the inimitable art of the French
modiste-the effect being that of a sort OF
scarf from the shoulder, where 1t was fas-
tened with small bouquet OF feathers
ana mowers; long drapery on one side
Iolds upon the others with tufts of feath-
ers ana Tails at the back upon the train.
n lovely dress, made for the Marquise de
Gallifet, and to be sent to chateau in the
country, was of cream canvas, en-
DrOldered with tuschias in three shades OF
PINK and red, and made over an exquisite
shade OF she'll pink silk There were two

ana laced Mt the back, and trimmed with

broldery. The high bodice was of the
shade OF red IN silk. with Moliere shirt OF
the canvas outlined with lace, en-
Droldered in gold and fuschia shaded. the
latter sparngly. A beautiful Louis XIII.
toilet was of fdiIe frdncdiSe (moidore) },
with drapery and trimmings of tule,
quadrilled in pearls and sequins and
magnificent Bruges lace arranged in cas-
cades, and as a Louis XIII. gibet waist
coat. A rich agrafe of embroidery and
a wide sash of MORE ribbon completed
the dress. Nine. dAuglas has made
several toilets with court trains, remOva-
Bile, so that they will be available as
dinner and evening, or afternoon recep-
ton and visiting dresses. This has been
especially the case in employing costly
emhroideries in conjunction with faille
and velvet or plush.
BRIDES CHARMING TRoUssEAU.
A trOusseau in preparation fora young
lady from western New York. contained
many charming ideas. The under wear
was cut in the simplest fashion, with few
seams, but these formed perfect fit.
There We're neither hens nor gussets, but
low-cut. round outline to the chemises,
with exquisite embroidered edge and fin
lsh of wide real Nalenciennes, and lovely
narrow ribbons. Some Of the short skirts
had four tiOunces of cream lace, and the
flanuels, of the finest material, were all
silk embroidered, without hens, and en-
riched with wide lace and the monogram
OF the bride. The wedding dress was OF
ivory MORE, the front embroidered in
gold and pearls, the train long, perfectly
plain but laid in close triple box-plaits.
As many as five or six pelisses of white
six, llsse. and lace supported the interior
edge. The bodice was cut high and
trimmed with an exquisite embroidery of
silk and pearls, and interior finish of
! duchesse point and tulle which was
| repeated upon the close, elbow
! sleeves. One of the walking
| dresses was Of soft (moidore) brown
! fditte franchise, with velvet fOunce and
! drapery lined with velvet; lifted and
| draped at the side to exhibit the interior.
! Tue bodice and sleeves were trimmed
with an applique of velvet, and chenille
! embroidery, which also formed panel on
the lower right side of the skirt. A velvet
jacket accompanied this dress, lined with
| plush and trimmed with otter fur. A
handsome morning dress was of currant
red cashmere, trimmed with light coffee
cOlOred lace, and another of cream wool
was also effectively trimmed with traces
of black velvet aud cascades down the
sides of the front, which was laid in fine
plalts of cream silk lace of Malta.
NOVELTY IN SILKS.
One Of the great novelties in materials
for clOaks and parts of costume, il a new
combination of silk with wool. The silk
forms an irregular and sometimes raised
surface, finished in terry, ottoman or moss
effects, which are outlined, veined or en-
circled by heavy lines in wool, which
form a sort Of close embroidered stitch.
Sometimes the pattern Is formed partly
OF wool, and the outlining may be silk,
but such examples as have been exhibit
ed are very original looking, and, it is
said, will be as durable in the wear as
they are attractive in appearance An
other novelty is the canvas cloth, woven
solid. but preserving the lace or transpar-
ent lattice effect of the summer material.
VISIT TO WORTH.
Mr.. Worth had only just returned from
| a trip to TrOuVille, when l called upon
him in the Rue de Is Paix. ''Oh," said
he, "you American ladies are terrible
You are here to-day and gone tomorrow.
You arrive when it is too hot TO think
and when one must stop to breathe, or
/ die, and you want the cream of everything
! gathered up for you before the milk Is
set" Mr.. Worth's styles are always diff
ferent from anything one finds elsewhere.
One OF his designs was OF yellow satin,
combined with brOcade in pink and yellow
tinted roses. A side panel, over which
the yellow satin formed certain drapery,
was of plated tulle, with fire and jeweled
! effects, outlined with fiat embroidered
trimming Of fine gold, and beads. colOred
in separate rows from light to dark, not
mixed.
A great deal of fine gold is used in his
trimmings, and much coppery gold
| (chaudron) in conjunction with brown.
He also uses Venetian stutfs in dark col
Ors and patterns Of uncut velvet with dull
satin, paneled with embroideries of che
mile. velvet and chaplet beads, or made
to open over velvet and satin striped
skirts. dark green and plum, or chau-
dron, and brown. An all bTown-and-gQld
dress WAS of brown satin Francois over
brown silk plush, with fine gold and vel
vet trimming upon the satin, in small
squares, forming rich passementerie.
An all brown plush costume was buttoned
at the side with gold buttons over a satin
| plaided skirt, enriched with slender vel
vet leaves, outlined and veined with gold.
| The plush robe was embroidered with
chinchilla and exhibited the buttons and
simulated buttOuhOles, beautifully
! wrought, but only three or four were
fastened, the rest OF the skirt opened TO
show the rich satin skirt with its velvet
and gold LEAKAGE. A pretty autumn suit
was OF gray wool and velvet, with gold,
grey and bronze in the corded and rosaried
passementerie.
A DRESS FOR A YOUNG GIRL
/ was of red velvet in bands upon red wool
embroidered upon the edge OF the velvet
with blue wool I'm Kensngton stitch. II
is rather early yet fer cloaks, but IL seems
/ to be decided that they will be either very
short or very long, medium size or
| length being usually commonplace In eff
| feet. aud neither good for protection nor
stylish dress. A striking theatre cloak
was OF strawberry red brocade, lined with
| primrose brocaded satin, aud trimmed
| with Venetian point and showers Of small
| gold sequins which fell in deep point,
reaching nearly to the waist, over the
