II side formed Of glossy black cocks
!ers. and having a pale blue cockade
tibbon set just in front between the
1ngs. For evening wear Nine. Boyer has
prep ired some half-dozen of dainty little
capotes, each lovelier than the last and ev-
cry one in the most delicate and subdued
old tapestry tints. One of these is in gold
network, yelled In dull heliotrope tulle
and ornamented in front with cluster of
ostrich tips in faded rose and blue he
liotrope. Another was in white gauze, en-
broidered with small gold flowers and hav-
ing the trimming in faded pink gauze and
rose pink feathers. A third was composed
of lace in dull gold thread and gray silk,
with trimmings of faded rose tulle and
gray ostrich tips. For a suit trimmed
with sealskin and having long sealskin
coat there was capote in veritable seal
skin with three chrysanthemums placed
in the front of the brlm. one purple. an
other gold yellow and the third cream
white. These are some few of the most
remarkable of the masterpieces in the
millinery line which I was SO fortunate as
to catch a glimpse of before they were
packed for transmission to the Princess
Worth is preparing some elegant toilet
ties for the trousseau. The court dress is
elegant in delicacy of coloring and grace
of cut. II is comprised Of corsage and
tram of dove-co!ored velvet. the latter
embroidered around the edge with fine,
lace. like pattern in silver tn cad and crys-
tai beads and nei throu hout with pale
pink satin. TIE I'm 1erskirt, from which
the train is drawn back so as to form
panier draperies at each side just below
The waist. is formed of one piece of silver
kipure lace lined with pale. rose-p pink
. IAN evening dress in pale-green
brocaded with large rosette-shaped
lEns, has each one OF the figures out
led with silver embroidery. Another
Evening dress is in white tulle, made skirt
over skirt, falling in loose, unconfned
. folds and dotted all over with large crystal
pamphlets. Underneath these skirts are
scarres of pale blue satin knotted with
seeming carelessness around the white
faflle underskirt. A dinner dress in heavy
white fable has the train and skirt front
bordered with narrow but very full
>,dounce of point lace. The latter is slightly
draped, and az either side, just at the
juncture with the train, are placed two
immense rosettes in white satin. From
one of these at each side starts long,
straight rose-stalk. with flowers and foil
age, extending to the waist, the blossoms
being of a rich deep pink. A magnificent
ball dress is entirely composed of old Ve-
nitian point over satin of the very palest
possible hue Of lilac. The train is In lace
of one single piece, lined with satin, the
skirt front being composed of two wide
hounces. The train is drawn back at one
side, 80 as to show a large cluster of purple
passion flowers and pale yellow roses, with
stems and leaves, a bouquet of similar
flowers combining the folds of tbs train at
the other side of the skirt. The coloring
of this superb dress is as delicate as pos
slble, and despite its spiendor it is perfect
ly suited to the refined elegance of its flu
ture wearer. -Paras Letter N. Y. World.
