DRESS PATTERN PLATES.
The idea of showing plates with dress
patterns illustrating style OF drapery, &c.
Is new. One at Meyers had an appliqned
border of astrachan around a plainly
draped skirt. while the pallet at the waist
has a rolling collar edged with the same
pattern of narrow appligued astrachan, as
are also the cuffs Of the bishop sleeves. The
effect is stunning, especially when set on
