remain in favor.
The favorite goods for bridal dresses this

in quality. Trains are made from one to
two yards long, and are generally plain or
finished with heavy ruching of the silk.

cloth, and are trimmed with braid, buttons
and machine stitching
Several evening bodices of kid have been
imported. They are lined with silk and
lace under the arms. Stiff whalebones
placed at each seam keep them in place,
and the strap sleeves fasten with buckle
on the shoulder.
Scarlet and gray riding habits are COM
ing into fashion. They are trimmed with
black braid on the basque, the skirt being
| short and plain.
