 SOME GORGEOUS GOWNS. Bernhardt in ssLa Tssca,o and worth's Last Creations for the Span- 1sh Mobility.
 From the Court Jeurnall
 In f'La Tosoa" Sarah Bsrnhardt makes her first appearance in a crepe de chine of the pale pink shade known as Bengal rose. This is draped over pink satin petticoat, and is all strewn with little half-open pink
 buds, embroidered by hand upon the fabric.
 The belt, of course, is just under the armss in the empire fashion, and around it a broad velvet ribbon of olive-green velvet, tied in 8
 bow in front and hanging in long ends to the feet. About the shoulders is 6 ohemisette of Cluny lace.
 With the gown Bernhardt wears long, olive green scarf of Indian silk that once belonged to the Empress Josephine and was worn by her to great court ceremony soon after Napoleon ascended the throne. It is ric IE o10raid jr nria io deeply tringed. Long olive green gloves and wide-brimmed green velvet hat, heaped with great ostrich plumes of shaded green, complete one of the most exquisite costumes ever seen on the French stage. In the ball scene she appears in white satin slip, the front of which is covered with white silk gauge embroidered in gold in dots and sprays of leaves. The slip has double loose flowing sleeves, the inner ones of gauge and the outer of satin. The court train is long and square and of pale green satin heavily en- broidered with gold. With it Bernhardt wears her superb necklace, emeralds and diamonds, and throws off, ss she enters, 8 trained cloak of heavy crsam@whits ribbed silk, lined with pale green plush, and tied with gold cords. This fashion of throwing off superb cloaks on entering has become a perfect rage among actresses, and while it is effective, it is also expensive, for they have to fling it by carelessly, with that
  quiled of an emotional heroine. In the last act Sarah has another wrap even more splendid, made of violet satin, deeply bor- dered and hooded with ermine. In this scene she wears a white, close-clinging h. dian silk that is embroidered nearly up to the knees in Oriental arabesque patterns with multi-colored beads A 1ace tucker is drawn up to the throat, and there is little puff at the top of each long close-ftting sleeve. With every costume she wears the little heel less, square toed satin slippers of that day, tied with ribbons back and forth across the ankle.
 Worth has just sent to Spain a group of elegant dresses, intended for the Duchess de San Antonio and her two daughters. One is
 8 ball dress in gold yellow satin, the apron front embroidered in silver beads and span gles in two large tulips with stems of un- even length. The embroidery is of yellow gauge. the satin being cut out underneath and showing faint rose hue from an un- derskirt in pink silk. A panel in satin em- either side. These panels, as well as the skirt front, are bordered with narrow silver embroidery. They part at either side to show straight folds of yellow tulle. In the opening at the right side are placed two large pink roses, single rose being sci on the left-hand one. The train is in full folds of yellow tulle over yellow faille, with single width of satin bordering it at the ! left side. house dress for the same lady ! is in dark blue satin in the empire style, the \ skirt gathered just below the bust, and cut | up to the knee in front as we'll as at the side breadths. These openings are juped al either side with pale green crape, and are hung with row of acorn-shaped gold pend ants. A band in gold braiding crosses ths | corsage from the right shoulder to the Jeff I side of the waist, and similar bands adorr
 the cuffs, the collar, and the square short
 basque at the back, from beneath which fall ! two sash ends of black watsred ribbon that \ reach to the hem of the train. For the eldest daughter of the Duchess is intended
