There is velvet on the bins, gros grain or

Moire ribbon of all widths is very stylish,

COSTUMES
of the new beaded woods, show such
peculiar ornamentation set in broad side
panels composed of stiff lines or small
squares, the beads usually embedded in
tutt like surroundings. Shawl dresses Of
course proclaim themselves new, but this
kind OF costume has never been lasting
while purchasers who wish q new dress
for prolonged wear, would do well to
avoid either, as in a season or two, they
will proclaim themselves out of date and
their wearers ditto. Marked novelties
had always best be left to those who can
afford frequent changes or the class who
bny a dress, live in it, and wear
il cut, after all perhaps the most
sensible. Tea gowns nre among new
importatians, close fitted at the
back and loose in front while French
styles are revival of the princesse shape.
Deni-trains for afternoon are likewise
among novelties as also for evening, what
they call dancing lengthn-just long
enough TO touch, act as broom, fray out
and soil. Something better for evening
are the lace skirts Of the summer, worn
with velvet basques and here hint can
be given of greater liberty in basques.
some new ones are longer on the sides and
\ altogether there comes an era of more
freedom. Inexpensive woods made with
1aatinees and skirts for morning, give re-
| lief from cunlbrouB and bebuetled cos
tunes, while serving TO keep them fresh
for the street, But perhaps the greatest
OF all improvements is the introduction Of
water proof mohairs and silks, the former
in piain colors the latter in fine stripes
or pin head checks. Should these prove
trustworthy, great advance step will
have been mads and the gossainer of to-
day become thing of the past as much
so az the coloFed gros grain silks, formerly
Teyeteneed till driven out by faille and
satin. Black gros grain silk, however,
retsins high position, such being the
distinctions drawn by that mysterious
tfiiiawe thing we call style. Fer
WEDDING DRESSES,
moire has great prestige, often taking
the place Of hrueades which are not seen
unless it be the new silvered ones. Rich
eros grain with satin finish is favorite
| material, after both coming satin and
failie. Lace is the trimming in greater
Or less quantity and fneness Of texture,
out soms who cannot afford fine lace and
will not use the coarse employ crepe
lissc. Crystal beads are also a wedding
garniture, plaeed generally in broad
panels down the aide. Where economy
IS considered, tie entire dress is some
times made a lisse over silk or satin,
while the embroidered lisse serves as q
finish here or may take the place Of lace

A Few rich wedding dresses have been
made low neel, but they are for the most
part cut high, square or heert.shaped.
