Silver. dove and pearl-gray gloves are
very f~ashionably 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 horderings formed of velvet
stripes or arabesques in applique. There
are also imported some lovely pale tints
for evening wear among the shades
in fawn, love 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 a 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. MOI only is the purchaser insured
by this means against faulty gloves, but
u glove, however irreproachable, If not
put on properly the first time Of use,
never after satisfies a critical wearer.
In its adjustment to the and It gets a
certain twist which stays.
Accompanying elegant spring cos
tunes of silk or fine wool are pretty
shoulder capes Of velvet in plain colors
Of moss green, terra Gotta, marquiso
brown, mahogany and black, that will
be in use all summer when a light wrap
IL needed. These are lined with shot
silk, and are wholly untrimmed. Be
sides these are Able Gallant pelerines,
made of rich armure silks, and decorated
with very fine gold bands in palm pat
terms, with a grelot fringe below. Pref
TEST 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-silk Innings follow
the effect of the tri-colored bead decora-
tion. Still other summer wraps are
made of fancy silk nets and canvas

bands and grelot fringes to correspond.
These are very rich and elegant.
It would seem almost impossible to go
far astray in the matter of the dress
bodice, the variety of models being now
apparently limitless. 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 a Ia mihtatre, with it's gold gimp,
brandebourgs and corded revers; the
quaint religieuse waist, with its simple
folds crossing the chest; the bodice a Ia
0terge half low, and yelled with a modest
Gretchen guimpe of liss or tullo; the
jaunty cut-away, with it's natty side
pockets, fine show of b%raidings and large
gold buttons; the Josephine cuirass cor
sage, illustrating the mingled grace and
dignity OF a generation long past; the
regal Medici bodice for stately matrons
and the low cut bebe waist for sweet
sixteen, with its pretty shoulder knots
and ribbon a~dornings at the belt; tho
yoke waist, the surplice and Breton
bodices, the Russian model, with its
| square fronts and stylish silk short
waist; the French guard corsage, whose
vest fits like o glove, and tho Turkish
tea-gown whose vest does not fit at all
all these styles, with many more, are
among the novel or repeated fancies for
next season,-N. Y. Post.
