All About Dresses, Gloves, Fans, Feathers
and Other Novelties.
A lavish use is made of ribbons in the
trimming of dressy costumes for in.

times covered with loops and ends.
while long loops and ends float
in shoulder knots. Vests are in

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
monte.
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
tips on the outer edge. Artificial flow.
ers are imbedded in the down with pc.
culiar effect. One of pale green shows

on the shoulder. Minnie Hauk, in her
recent success as Manon, wore three pale
pink tips in powdered hair, and Giey
were extremely becoming. Her dress
was pale pink underskirt, covered with
white lace in front and trimmed with
festoons and pink ribbon rosettes below.

Shoulder knot of pink ribbon; black vel.

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 skirtings, 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 OF flan-
mel are most used for the little ones,
but cashmere is always standby and
suitable in anything but black.
The fieece-lined Jersey has poised very
because the wearing of this
garment in winter is a real
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
hey do not readily wear.
No greater contrast is possible than
he sight afforded by elderly New York
and their attire. Haggard faces
ook out of keeping with costly ear
ings, glittering jewels in their hair and
urbelows on toilets. Cosmetics are
RELY used but do not accomplish the
lesired task, and one debates inwardly
whether puffiness be not better We
ave both styles, both equally prevalent,
nd one recalls as pleasant dream the
