Dore and gray are the fashion for evening,
and the faintest gold tint with pink; and
electric blue, which tones into gray, is GER
tainly leading color The favorite electric
tone has been singularly treated by Worth
In most original gown. The electric poult
de sole was brocaded with an Empire design
in black velvet, and this formed the front of
the skirt cut in one, with a species Of apron
bib of the same which fastened outside the
black velvet bodice; it reminded one Of a
heralds tabard. Panels Of black velvet fell
on the electric silk brocaded in black, and the
sleeves still further kept up the impression
Of dress of the past, for they stood up very
full and high on the shoulders full also at
the elbow, and had black velvet at the cuffs.
