New YoBK, December 5.-Niss
F0Itsscue, who recently playsd a
short SEASON at the Lyceum Tneater
ia this city, hiss bestowed her name
| Tor it has bsen appropriately for a
rather striking bonnet which will, no
doubt, meet with much favor. 1t Is
of olive green silk beaver, the brim
being Of felt. The crown is very tall
and psaked 1t is shirred behind, while
the front of the bonnet is garnished
With long bird OF paradise feather
and knot of velvet ribbon. A very
neat promenade costume is in plain
dark woolen material. The front of
the basque is almost covered by a
plated plastron OF silk, over which is
added a beaded plastron, extending
from the collar over the bust in point
ed form. The collar and cuffs are also
covered with the bead designs, and
the end Of the basque, in front, is fin
isbed in the same way. The under
skirt is rather different from the gen.
ersl form OF the models shown at
present; 1t presents alternate plain
panels Of silk and plaitings OF the
wooden material. The drapery, which
is looped high on the left side, is
chiefly to be admired on
account Of the artistic way in
which 1t is arranged. The hat
to be worn with this suit is 40 English
walking shape. The foundation, as
usual with the English hats OF the
season, is of felt; the brim rolls slight
ly in 'front.' A band of dark brown
velvet ribbon enciicles the crown,
and, combined with cream, forms the
knot on the front. At one side, any
small bird may be placed.
At Booklyn's dry goods palace,
Wechsler & Abraham's, was shown,
the other day, few really exquisite
creations for reception wear,or use in
doors on various occasions.
One, which was intended for O 5
o'clock tea, small card party or SINH
lar occasion, was in flesh colored CASH
mere. On the skirt were placed large
panels Of moss colored, ripped velvet.
The drapery, which was Of the cash
mere, was Arranged, thought, in q
rather original manner. At the sides
IL foil straight to the bottom of the
undersk irt, being gracefully draped in
natural folds all the way down. Usu.
ally the drapery is allowed 10 fall in
trout and rear, but ia looped at the
sides.
A beautiful dinner dress for q young
married lady was shown in. dark red
faille Francaite. The bodice is cut in
narrow V shape and Is edged with
cream lace. Down the front are mar
row plaitings Of the faille, interspersed
with dark red velvet. The skirt has
wide panels on each side, which are
covered with embroidery. in Persian
colors, applied directly to the fabric.
On the cuffs similar embroidery APP
pears, and they also chow the plsit-
ings OF mingled velvet and silk, which
distinguish the bodice, and they are
finished with lace.
A long black plush opera cloak,
which may be worn at matinees and
upon similar occasions. exhibits a
Vatican plait down the back Of
plaided black velvet. This cloak is
trimmed extensively with jet pssse-
menterie, which forms corsage front
upon the garment, AMI the boTdeiings
used are Of gray feather trimming.
For a brides travelling dress crea-
ton In electric gray wooden material
has the skirt OF alternate pointed pam
els OF the wooden fabric and plush of
darker color, with two wide plush
panels. Through eyelet holes in the
narrow plush panels double rings Of
cord psssementerie are drawn all the
way down, giving novel effect. The
drapery OF the wooden goods is brought
in long narrow point over the skirt
at each side, wide plain panel OF the
plush appearing from beneath it.
Stern Bros seem 10 have excelled
themselves In their bric.a brac de.
psrtmebt this season. Nowadays
pieces OF bronze, brass, reirottSSe, china,
terra Gotta and delicate glass, seem to
be quite ag necessary for comfort in
our homes as the easy chair or the
lounge. For putting over the maDtel,
small cabinets of worked brass, with
backs OF beaten bronze, which are
made into many little compartments,
are shown. In the places provided
for them, choice pieces of china OF all
descriptions are set. Below this a fine
open fire Is the proper thing, with
works OF art in the shape of brass
tongs, shovel and irons near at hand.
A lady's boudoir may be greatly
ornamented by the addition OF a few
pieces Of art bric-a-brsc. She may have
pair OF valiant Moors" placed on
their pedestals in each corner OF the
room, or piece Of Italian pottery on
the center table. 0ne piece OF this
pretty ware represents an Italian lady
in q recumbent posture, taking heI
MONDAY siesta. At her side stands q
romantic cavalier, trolling a love lay
to the sou DIS of mandolin.
must say that some OF these pieces
Of Italian ware are rather risque.
Fairy lamps" little China affairs
formed like water lilies, or in other
graceful shapes, and beautifully tinted
look very we'll on center table or Oh
the mantel. They will serve as nigh
lamps.
The shape, length and general char
acter OF the fashionable riding'habit
vary greatly from year to year. Al
present the skirt is by no means 81
long as It formerly was, and reaches il
front only little below the instep
Behind II Is train shaped. But O
course this shortening is directly due
to the introduction of form Of Skin
in which the knee is placed 80 as t
hold the skirt and prevent the posi-
bility OF Its flying up, the latter being
the unpleasant contingency provided
against by the flowing skirt which wa
worn a short time ago. The bodice il

mans drees coat, and opens back owe
a white vest, which is supplemented
by a gentleman's collar and cravat-
all denoting an approach to manish
