dress patterns that merchants have
arranged are partly of plain wool and
partly of velvet, either striped OIL

green and red velvet make pretty
dresses for young women. and there
are Gobelin blue shades with blue and
brown velvet for those who are older.
The fancy is to make the lower skirt
of such dresses perfectly plain. and
nearly cover it with long, full round
over-skirt. The velvet serves as part
of the lower skirt, set on as wide Dor
der, either at the edge or three or four
inches above it, or else. if there is
enough. it may simulate the entire
lower skirt Rows of stitching above
a hem are the only finish required for
the overskirt. The basque is plainly

terra-cotta, and also the rather light
tints of chamois and of pearl gray. 1t
is difficult to understand this sudden
return to black dresses, but they
are found to be very pretty when
combined with a good color. A stylish
black and tan dress is made OF tan
colored silk for the lower skirt and
vest, with black cashmere for the
polonaise, which nearly conceals the
tan skirt, yet permits part of it to
show all around. The tan skirt is cut
out in slender leaf points at the foot,
which fall on velvet fold; the front
of the black corsage is cut in similar
points next the tan vest. The felt hat
or bonnet may be either black or tan
color, with black watered ribbon trim
ming, and the wrap may be jacket
of black cloth, or else long cloak of
tan or of any other color. provided it
will conceal the entire costume.
Garibaldi waists with pointed yoke
and belt are the fashionable day cor
sage with English women, and when
well fitted they display neat figure to
good advantage. These are not the
full blouses worn long ago under the
name of Garibaldi skirts, but are more
closely fitted. and extend below belt
long enough to cover the hips, being
sloped shorter on the sides and slightly
longer in front than behind. They are
made of faced cloth of light weight. of
cashmere, of jersey cloth, and of the
fine striped fannels. The yoke is usual
ly braided with darker shade or with
black, and is done in lengthwise rows
or in the favorite vermicelli pattern.
The collar is high standing band. the
sleeves have no cuffs and the belt is
Tapped and pointed; sometimes braid
ing is added on the collar, cuffs and
belt. Young ladies wear bright red
Garibaldi waists. while older ones
choose any quiet dark color that will
answer with various skirts of other col
ors, also with black skirts.
More dressy jackets for the house
are made of light cashmere. with a
blouse-vest and deep pleatings on the
front and hips of China Grape. The
fronts of the cashmere slope open from
the throat, and are cut off at the waist
like a square-cornered Eton jacket,
showing the vest. and the lower pleat-
ings; the back is closely adjusted. and
is as long as the Grape front and sides.
A pleated collar and under-sleeves are
added. This is very handsome in
reseda cashmere with pale pink Grape,
or in gray-blue cashmere with old-rose
Grape.
Still more dressy juckets are Of
surah. opening over guimpe of lace.
and with puff of lace below the elbow
sleeves. This is pretty in poppy-red
surah cut half low and round in the
neck. with a gathered black lace
guimpe. Black watered ribbon is then
striped diagonally on the lower part Of
the front from the seams under the
arms. Pink surah is similarly made
over white lace. and trimmed with
white watered ribbon.-Harper's Be-
