been revived that was fashionable some
little while ago, and upon this ground
are scattered the most eXquiSitely col
ored clusters or wee rosebudS tied with
dainty little lovers knots in pale blue,
so that the wearer becomes like piece
of delicate Sevres. The new silks are
not SO pretty. Most of them have spot
ground, and nearly all have stripes Of
alternate MORE and satin. On theS
stripes appear either brocaded flowers
or small round spots of different
colors, that are somewhat dazzling to
the eye. Bright green is. of course,
much used for everything else. Vivid
cOlors generally promise to be fashion
able. Among them are some charming
shades of yellow, which is to be very
popular, one or two variations OF hello
trope-that is, however, waning i'll ia

A MAGNIFICENT DINNER DRESS
has lately been made here for Wander
Sicilienne, the long train andtskirt front
being in the brOcade, the latter Dor
dered with wide band of otter fur.
This is covered by long drapery in ST.
cilienne, beautifully embroidered by
hand in gold. The corsage is composed
one-half of gold-embroidered Sicilienne
and the other half of brocade, made bias
and with slight fuIlneSS. Bands of OF
ter fur passing over the shoulders do
duty for sleeves. In striking con-
traSt to this sumptuOuS toilet is an
equally charming dress. The skirt
is in alternate half-widthS of white
watered silk and of white Grape, tucked
with 1inger-wide horizontal tuckS. On
the two side widths of watered silk and
on the one at the left side of the front
are long garlandS of exquisite pale pink
roses with buds and foliage. The whole
skirt front is yelled in single thick
ness of white tulle, caught up in gath
cred folds at the side of the train, which
is in alternate half-widthS of watered
silk and tucked Grape. The cOrSage in
Watered silk is trimmed with tulle and
roses. Another charming evening dress
has the back of the short skirt COM
posed of full flowing widths of white
tulle spotted with gold. The skirt front
is in plain white tulle, over which is
another in white satin with four bands
of insertion in white gauZe, embroidered
in gold, let into it horizontally, begin
ming at the hem. The strips of white
satiOn that alternate with the insertion
are also embroidered with gold, and a
narrow pattern in the same embroidery
meets the last row of insertion at the
top, the whole coming to the height of
the Wearer's knee. The side panels are
in the same style, and at the waist is a
wide short sash with straight fiat ends,
all made with gold embroidery and
gauze insertion to match the skirt front.
THE SHOULDER CAPE
has for March been transferred from
Newmarkets and ulSters to dresses, and
it appears in the streets as here pict-
ured. 1t is mannish, rather. Speak
ing of mems fashions aped by women,
advocates of the wearing of divided
skirts quoted Rosa BOnheur as an eX-
ample, but | learn that the artist wears
male costume only when working at
her own house. She then appears in a
blouse, WON over pair of mems ordi-
nary trousers, and a -brimmed hat
of felt or straw. 1t is said that Rosa
BOnheur adopted this costume when
quite young, because she found skirts
so terribly inconvenient when working
in menagerieS and cattle-yards.
eff you should meet her i'll the streets
of Paris" my informant goes on to say,
'you would see large, elderly woman,
rather plainly dressed in black, her
