Stylish Dress Bodices.
Silver, dove and pearl-gray gloves are
very fashionably worn in the gay French
capital. The slender vine embroidery
at the back of the hand is worked in
self-colored silk. Other gloves show
points or stitching in black, these TO
correspond with the elegant carriage
and visiting-gowns of gray, trimmed
either with rich black passementeries
or with borderings formed of velvet
stripes or arabesques in applique. There
are also imported some lovely pale tints
for evening wear among the shades
in fawn, dove and pearl. These are
made of the softest and most pliable of
undressed kid, and the gloves are deli
cateiy perfumed. No little fault was
found 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 change
in gloves to have the new brands fitted
before purchase. This is easily done, as
in many shops the assistants consider
| no trouble too great to insure sat!sfac-
ton. Not only is the purchaser insured
by this means against faulty gloves, but
put on properly the first time of use,
never after satisfies a critical wearer.
In its adjustment to the hand 1t gets a
| certain twist which stays.
Accompanying elegant spring Co.'S
tunes of silk or fine wool are pretty
shoulder capes of velvet in plain colors
of moss green, terra Gotta, marquise
brown, mahogany and black, that will
be in use all summer when light wrap
is needed. These are lined with shot
silk, and are wholly untrimmed. Be
sides these are Able Gallant pelcrines,
made of rich armure silks and decorated
with very fine gold bands in palm pat
terms, with grelot fringe below. Pret-
tiest of all are the lustrous silk capes
in pale colors of lawn, reseda, golden
olive, and gray. elegantly shaped and
| fitted, and dotted all over with pendants
of cashmere beads in cluster. The
effect of the colored drops on the light
silk ground of the cape is rich and
dainty. The shot-sillt Innings follow
the effect of the tri-colored bead decora-
tion. Still other summer wraps are
made of fancy silk nets and canvas
meshcd silk grenadines, with lattice
over-patterns of silk and velvet, with
bands and grelot fringes to correspond.
These are very rich and elegant.
1t would seem almost impossible to &c
far astray in the matter of the dress
bodice. the variety of models being now
apparently limitless. The vest but
