ollvef dove and pearl-gray gloves are
Voly lspionably worn in the gay French
oapiSal The slender vine embroidery
al ene back of the hand is worked in
sell-copred silk. Other gloves show
points lor stitching in black, these to
CORRESPOND with the elegant carriage
ana Tsiting-gowns of gray, trimmed
el'ner with rich black passementeries
or with borderings formed of velvet
stripes or arabesques in applique. There
are also imported some lovely pale tints
tof evening wear among the shades
IN lawn, dove and pearl. Those are
maze OF the softest and most pliable of
undressed kid, and the gloves are deli
cateiy perfumed. No little fault was
louho with certain brands of gloves sold
the past winter which had hitherto been
considered of the finest make. 1t is a
very good plan when making a change
IN gloves to have tho new brands fitted
petorepurchase. This is easily done, as
IN many shops the assistants consider
no trouble too great to insure satiSfac
tion. Not only is the purchaser insured
by TINS means against faulty gloves, but
glove, however irreproachable, if not
put On properly the first time of use,
never after satisfies critical wearer.
In " adjustment to the hand it gets a
cGx Stwist which stays.
Accoannying elegant spring cos
tunes OF silk or fine wool are pretty
shoulder cpes of velvet in plain colors
OF moss green, terra Gotta, marquise
brown, mahogany and black, that will
be in use allsunmer when a light wrap
is needed. These are lined with shot
silk, and ae wholly untrimmed. Be
sides these are Able Gallant pelerines,
made of rictarmure silks, and decorated
with very file gold bands in palm pat
terms, with agrelot fringe below. Pret-
test Of all re the lustrous silk capes
in pale colos of lawn, reseda, golden
olive, and gny, elegantly shaped and
lifted, and dotted all over with pendants
of cashmere beads in cluster. The
effect of the olored drops on the light
silk ground # the cape is rich and
dainty. The shot-silk Innings follow
the effect of tn tri-colored bead dccora-
ton. Still otter summer wraps are
made of fancy,silk nets and canvas
meshed silk grnadines, with lattice
over-patterns of silk and velvet, with
bands and grelot fringes to correspond.
These are very rid and elegant.
1t would seem amost impossible to go
far astray in the matter of the dress
bodice, the varietyof models being now
apparently limitl@s. The vest but
toned to either side of the corsage; the
separate and ample Louis XIV. waist
coat, superbly decorated; the round
waist, with its Empire sash; the Direc-
toire with its girdle or chatelaine; the
Greek bodice classically draped; the
corsage la mIkEtaere, with its gold gimp,
brandebourgs and corded revers; the
quaint rel1gleuse waist, with it's simple
folds crossing the chest; tho bodice u Ia
0IeTge half low, and yelled with modest
Gretchen guimpe of liss or tulle; the
Jaunty cut-away, with its natty side
pockets, fine show of braidings and large
gold buttons; the Josephine cuirass cor
sage, illustrating the mingled grace and
dignSV of generation long past; the
regal Nedici bodice for stately matrons
and the low cut bebe waist for sweet
sixteen, with its pretty shoulder knots
and ribbon adornings at the belt; the
yoke waist, the surplice and Breton
bodies, the Russian model, with its
square fronts and stylish silk short
waist; the French guard corsage, whose
vest fits like glove, and the Turkish
tea-gown whose vest does not fit at all
all these styles, with many more, are
among the novel or repeated fancies fol-
newt season.-N. Y. Post,
