The Queen. of Fashion in Grand Evening
Costume.
The proper gait in q ballroom this win
ter is less demonst.stiVe than hitherto, be
cause the rearward protuberance Of Skin
looks ridiculous when bobbed up and down
or swsyed sideways, and, therefore, {
steady carriage is essential. Young girl
veal white tulle over silk or satin, anC
ribbons for trimming these dresses ar,
more popular than ever. Light coloret
brocades are worn BY married women, boil
Young and old. Low necked waists ar
common. Bare shoulders arei in vogue thi
winter. There is q revival OF the regula
deCollete corsage, such as was worn by on
mothers, which hall FAY down tn
shoulders, instead OF opening only on tht
bosom and tho back. The low corsags il
rounded of the shoulders, or else pointed il
front and back, and the points below th'
waist are very sharp, slender and long, DO
irg eight or ten inches below the waist line
Bow velvet waists are the caprice OF thr
season, perhaps because velvel 10 the mos
becoming OF oil fabrics, and u lew ytlvel
body may Re worn with ~ysrious skirts
With the loS-aelked corssges resppea,
those pretty drsperies OF tulle, gsuze o.
crepe, arranged in folds about the top
which adds grace as well as modesty 10 th,
corsRge. These corsages are made, SOM
with a single point, others with two points
one ct the front and ono at the bs' b. snc
others still with three points at the from
and one behind. Short sleeves, which hsc
quite disappeared, to the great detrimen'
Of beauty end good taste, are indispensable
with draped low corsages.
Worth is reported TO have said recent
": There are no new fashions 10 talk o.
Tor spring. 1t is certain that light colors
not dark blues and browns but light spring
colors, are coming The Lyons sill
makers are weaving one such. There il
nothing whatever being made to remiuc

pretty bonnet; what delicious taste Now
they say How like stable grooms md
Jockeys all look. What wo most nsed ii
aone woman, come real lazy OF authority
and taste, to set the fashions.
Ball dresses are nov more than ever IN
delicate hues ard light textures. There
are gauzes and silk Grape in sll shades, but
the pa!est pre- preferred, and white is mos
favored. Among the materials, tulia is the
most seen. Tulla dotted with chenille il
very snowy, but the most brilliant effect Ii
obtained BY illusion dotted with beads, par
ticulsrly pearl beads, the size Of . pea
The high corsages for fulidress toilets have

and attached over the end Of the basque
The low, narrow. V-shaped opening in The

folded or gathered. is the most stylish tor
