WHAT THEY WEAR.

Liberty silks are the fashion par excellence for young English girls.
 Pink tulle is a favorite shade for young society buds this season.

 Chaplets of fine flowers are worn by young girls on their simple evening coiffures.
 Mouff1on fur is seen on some imported din. ner costumes from celebrated modistes.
 In England the fashionable tea gown is of brilliant red, whatever the fabric may be-
 Handkerchiefs are daintier and more filmy than ever and embroidered with nuns work
 The classic peplum is worn again and u particularly well adapted to graceful fig. ure.
 Still one sees the corsage ornament of ostrich tips in one or two colors, as the case may be-
 Gold galloons are particularly effective on evening costumes, and are now being made the most of.
 Corals are worn by the buds, and should only be worn by them, for the pink is a very trying color.
 The toque composed entirely of velvet is very stylish, and for regular faces it is most becoming
 The draping of the soft crapes used in evening gowns gives an opportunity for very artistic effects. The osprey or aigrette is worn with high coiffure, and is always dressy and effective as we'll as simple. The Directoire bodice is one which is most becoming, and at the same time suited to al- most any figure.
 Real silver hooks and eyes are used on handsome evening corsages, serving the double purpose of ornament and use.
 The good taste of the empress of Japan in choosing the colors of the chrysanthemum flowers is worthy of an artistic following A Russian mode of making one-half the corsage of visiting costume of fur is one which does not appeal to an artistic eye. | Appropriate and very pretty are the long | silk mittens worn by young girls with their evening gowns. This is an English fancy. The Tam O'Shanter bonnet is both very pretty and very becoming to youthful faces, and is made less severely plain than hitherto.

 The Russian apron is now the chic thing for the young girl who presides over the samovar and brews the o'clock cup of stean' g Pekoe.
 Blue and green leather and morocco are seen in some imported sandal shaped shoes without heels, which are to be worn with aesthetic tea gowns
 No wedding trousseau is now complete without a fan to correspond with every even | ing toilet. and with an extensive wardrobe this item is no small one
 The girdle is the most graceful thing a slight figure is capable of wearing, and is al ways artistic It should, however, be ot pliant silk or Indian null.
 Openwork hose are in bright red and other new and fashionable colors to match evening dress fabrics. Spun silk or raw silk are equally well liked, and the only real differ ence is in the price.
