wide Russian collar and revers rolling
back all the way down the fronts of a
fur in color harmOniZing, not contrast

silk underdTess, made i'll what Mrs. Jen-
ness Miller calls the gown form, may be
worn under this, or a light-fitting under
dress viii make il display the curve of
the figure more satisfactorily. Under
sleeves of the silk are usually used, in
which case angel sleeves, or some other
sort which open at either the shoulder or
the elbow and are encircled by n band of
far, are the most effective, and theresore
the most used.
A Partisan gown is thus described: 1t
is made of striped pale green and mauye
silk, opening over a silk lace front of
very faint pink This lace was confined
at the waist by a wide sash of pale green
satin On each side near the train the
dress opens nearly to the hips to display a
sort OF imp aited plating Of rose lace
more easily admired than described
Long, loose rose late sleeves III Jewish

Perhaps the prettiest houSe-dresses are
made Il Ia Marguerite. with the tight-fit-
sing princeSse overdTess. buttoning in
the back, and only draped in one place,
a little to the left Of the front, where
girdle which encircles the waist catches
the oyerdress in = loop, to show the I'M
derskirt which IS sometimes the same,
sometimes of velvet or plush, sometimes
Il heavy bTOcade, or, again, sometimes
quilted satin. i well-known style of
house dress, the ReCamier, is chiefly
worn by young and slender forms, the
short waists and side sashes being out of
place on matrons, who become more and
more dowager-hke as time goes on.
One feature of the present renaissance
is to be much cOmmendedr bah dresses
are almost invariably made with at least
a emblance of 4 sleeve 1t may be bare
" ruffle or the more pretentious baby
pulled sleeve, but sleeve in some sort
must be there. One of the prettiest and
most modestly cut evening dresses made
after a Paris model was white faille
silk, around the bottom Of a straight
skirt is pinked ruf1le set round in cas-
cade fashion; the skirt and waist are both
gathered in Il band, fastening in the
back: the plain bodice IS cut square but
not low, and the shoulder strap are near
" half way between the arm-hole and
the throat a sash is gathered at the
shoulders, the right side crossing over
the left, forming V over the plain bod
ice, and confined at the waist by belt
at least i've inches wide buckled with a
silver buckle brilliant with rhine
stones, the ends falling nearly to the
bottom of the skirt, are gathered
the finish being tasseI of graduated tin
sci balls. The sleeve proper is only
slightly pulled, the band IS midway the
elbow and the shoulder; on the inner
side the two ends of piece are fastened
and the middle of it IS caught quite well
up on the shoulder, forming two auxil-
iarv puffs, increasing the pufhnesS and
giving squareHeSs to the shoulders. The
neck is finished by handsome lace set in
nearly plain and 50 high as TO leave little
over an inch of space between the edge
and the pendants of necklace of bril-
liants. Nosquetaire gloves, wrinkled,
reaching to the elbow, complete this
most maidenly attire, which suggest at
once a poet 5 phrase, ''Chaste as
Diana. - The hint of beauties it scarce
betrays makes the toilette one of the
most charming YET devised, and COM
mends itself to the good taste of every
one
Buds gowns generally have long, or at
least half-long sleeves, with fancifuI
waists plated from tep to. bottom, and
round yoke outlined by gimp or by velvet
