Things That Are Absoiutc'y the Very
Newest and Most Chic OF Their Kind.
Another London faucy In the gowns
that are now being manufactured for
winter wear is for cloth dresses OF that
peculiar shad, called sometimes-to
the great delcctation OF the funny par
agrapher--''e elephants breath" This
is trimmed with the yellowcst OF yell
low-brown otter. but it is a brave
woman who wears it, 1t may be re-
marked.
a pretty steamer-gown TO be worn
by a New York girl in trip across the
ocean, is OF dark blue serge and has a
skirt laid in narrow side plaits from
the waist down. There is long Di-
rectoire coat which reaches the skirts
edge in the back, and is cut off at The
waist in front. 1t opens over draped
big buttons set on each side Of the
front and collar, lnpels and cuffs OF
blue velvet.
The color of colors this winter will
be as it has been during the summer
green in all its shades: the lighter
,tints, of course. reserved for the ball
and tea gown, while for street wear
sage, olive, bottle. Lincoln, moss and
absinthe green will be worn combined
with brown, tan or gray. The color
which comes next in popularity is
canary. That clear, pale shade of yell
low will be seen in bonnets. in house,
wear, and, above all, In the tulle ball
gowns of the young women.
The polonaise and redingote in
crease in favor, and in striped. ma
terials are very becoming to tall, full
figures. They are drawn back slightly,
the corners forming long points of
.drapery, and the drapery in the back
is very slight or else absent altogether,
the long seams being continued down
the back with the fulness plated in
beneath them. For young and slight
women the Directoire coat, with it's
big buttons, high collar and full
draped waistooat and huge buttons,
takes the place of the redingote.

dresses is the sash. Not only are i'm
mense sashes worn on every thing, es-
pecially to outline the edge of q point
ed bodice and then be tied in an enor-
nous bow in the back. but they are
also draped into the side draperies.
A black tulle gown made by Russell,
of Bond street, London, goes u poirt
beyond any thing hitherto seen on this
side, and is absolutely the very newest
and most chic of it's kind. This sash
is prodigious, and is not only of that
vivid red which is vulgarly known as
''hell fire." but on it were brocaded
lunches of ragged robins and bright
blue. That sounds pretty bad, but the
effect is in reality tremendously swag-
ger.
A charming gown worn at LenoX by
q newly-landed New Yorker who has
been replenishing her wardrobe in
Paris had a skirt of tan-colored Grape
in fine accordion plaits from the waist.
1t had no drapery but Il Directoire
coat of pale blue brocade. The waist
coat was of tan-colored blond lace, a
deep ruffle of it falling below the folds
of tan surah that defined the waist in a
long point. This lace was carried up
inside the high collar of the coat aud
fell over the outside in another deep
ruffle. There were big smOked-pearl
buttons enameled in blue on either
edge of the coat-fronts, and they were
also on the wide cuffs turned back
from the wrists, where were deep ruff
fles again of the blond lace.-M y.
