NEW YORK FASHIONS.
All About Dresses, Gloves, Fans, Feather
 and Other Novelties.

and Other Novelties.
 A lavish use is made of ribbons in tho
 trimming of dressy costumes for in.
 doors. Entire fronts of skirts are some
 times covered with loops and ends,
 while long loops and ends float in shoulder knots. Vests are in keeping with the front breadths just mentioned; jabots, neck bands, collar.
 cites or rosettes are set on corsages, while on skirts we see the same styles of trimming appear in support of drapery, or set anywhere that may har monize.
 Black gloves are worn with dressy toilets of black and white, but are not so tasteful as white gloves which are seen to some extent, yet not nearly as much so as tan shades from light to medium. The fancy chenille dotting (which in goods for dressing wear is very greaD extends to gloves and we observe speci- mems where chenille dottings cover the upper portion of the glove-that is, the long expanse of kid now thought neces- sary when the sleeve is short. Apart from few novelties, however, the long mosquetaire of smooth kid is most worn.
 Stylish fans are of oblong shape and composed chiefly of the softest down with a rim of stiff feathers or ostrich tips on the outer edge. Artificial flow. CTS are imbedded in the down with pc. culiar effect. One of pale green shows an ivy handle; others have. handles of mother-of-pearl or tortoise shell
 Ostrich tips are in great favor as an ornament for the hair, and not unfre. quently combine with knot of ribbon on the shoulder. Minnie Hauk, in her recent success as Mano'a, wore three pale pink tips in powdered hair, and they were extremely becoming. Her dress was pale pink underskirt, covered with white lace in front and trimmed with festoons and pink ribbon rosettes below. Overdress of pale blue and black bro. cade, with low corsage laced in front Shoulder knot of pink ribbon; black vel vet bows on the skirt; pink rosebud on one side of the corsage; prolonged spray of pink roses as a finish to the overdress on one side of the skirt. AL together an extremely fanciful yet very pretty dress-notable, too, as the one worn when she was recalled twenty times at Prague.
 Skirts of delicate or bright colored satin are brought out to be worn under dressy indoor costumes. Some of black satin being shown for rich, black toilets Great attention, indeed, is paid this winter to colored skirtinss, and we have them of many grades; not few, furnished with hustle, pad, steels and tapes. Less costly skirts are of farm ers' satin, ladies' cloth, flannel, or chiefly felt, for which no substitute has been found. Charmingly light skirts are quilted with eiderdown half way up, but these again are far from cheap.
 Quite small girls, say from five years upward, are wearing dresses made of coarse suit goods, such as were thought suitable only for adults. White dresses are not now seen on children over the age of infancy, and pale cashmere is only worn on some state occasion. Heavy yelling or flan- mel are most used for the little ones, but cashmere is always standby and suitable in anything but black.
 The fleece-lined Jersey has poised very successfully, because the wearing of this comfortable garment in winter is a real desideratum, while on the same order we note the introduction and immediate of corsets, having sides which ''give" with the wearer's movements. Rubber elastics are not used, so that they do not readily wear.
 No greater contrast is possible than the sight afforded by elderly New York women and their attire. Haggard faces look out of keeping with costly ear- rings, glittering jewels in their hair and furbelows on toilets. Cosmetics are freely used but do not accomplish the desired task, and one debates inwardly whether puffiness be not better. We have both styles, both equally prevalent, and one recalls as pleasant dream the well rounded physiognomy of some ma tron who is not ashamed of being ma- tronly and who leaves bedizzening to her grand-daughters.-N r.
