Nature furnishes tho ideas for all this

is made of green cmcrald-tintcd velvet,
with soft bow OF grorn silk, and dia-
mond and idt butterfly.
Tho ball gown illustrated is most
suitable and becoming to brunette,
and is Of pearl-colored tarlatane with
t,Guretfcs in rosc-colored bead. The
ribbon bows on the shoulder and at the
corsage are of rose rod ribbon relieved
by 4 gathered bertha OF white lace.
The skirt has branches of eglantine,
and the fan is composed OF dainty rose
colorcd feathers.
The theater cape illustrated is made
of wash-lcatser colored faced cloth,
lined with black satin. and adorned
round tho throat with four box
plated frills of black velvet The hat,
also of the yellow cloth, is somewhat
of the dick Wilmington" shape, and
is edged with narrow band of black
astrachan; at the side are two black
ostrich tips. and in the center is Il jet
dagger, which ornament is also seen
piercing the knot of astrachan on the
front OF tho muff.
1t is probably tho French passion for
novelty which is bringing Russian lace
SO prominently into favor in Paris. 1t
is stated that great Russian Princess
has thrown her example so forcibly
towards creating demand for it, that
one firm alone has ordered more than q
thousand pounds worth from the lace
makers of Orel.
Hitherto it has only been used by the
Russians themselves and has been prac-
tically unknown outside tho Empire Of
the Cars. Nothing but the purest linen
thread is used for it, and its primary
claim lies in the fact that it is the only
real lace which is produced in color
mixtures. Clear, true white is compar-
atively rarely seen in it, as the I'M
bleached flax makes rich ecru With
this blue, either pale or deep, and Il
strong red are commonly used, as these
shades are favored with tho people.
Orange is also introduced with good
effect and 4 delicate cieur rose shade, as
we'll as golden brown tint, arc en-
ployed occasionally at intervals White
and red or white and blue arc much
used, and occasionally is to be found
somc delightful blending OF dark colors
only.
The designs are interestingly barbar-
ic, and these Russian laces are not only
quaint novelties to wear but lend them
selves acceptably to another fashion

The principal actors, between twonty

heads uncovered, their long black hair
waving wildly in the wind they tossed
themselves hither and thither, throwing
their bodies violently backward and for

whole time, and every now and then
breaking out into the widest shouts.
Suddenly they ceased, and, surrounded

tomtoms and pipes above which their
voices wore distinctly heard, they rushed
