Hints and suggestions Concerning tho
Latest styles for Women.
There are many very beautiful new
black goods, which are most popular
this season.
The favorite outdoor garments of the
season are the jacket and redingote,
with or without capcs.
Newmarkets for ordinary street use
are very popular and will be worn late
into the spring.
High coiffures are to still remain in
vogue and they verge rather more upon
the Empire styles.
The silk warp lIenriettas in black,
are handsomer and more durable than
silk dress of double the price.
Newmarkets and kindred garments
are made of striped or fine plaid cloak
ings or solid colored beaver cloths.
Black astrakhan cloth is also a favor
ite material, but is not to out-last one
season. 1t is not very durable ma
terial.
The new brocaded silk and wool warp
Henrietta goods show very novel and
artistic designs, and are most durable,
when the genuine.
A novelty is also shown in fine sheer
black wool goods, which has stripes of
slightly open work pattern resembling
hemstitching.
There are also new and exquisite
beautiful designs in stripes of black and
white and gray, for half mourning, or
plain wear.
Combs partake of the high styles
worn at a former period, or they are like
long hair pins with fancy heads. Am
Der, tortoise shell, and silver and gold
are all used for the purpose.

several grades, which has silk warp,
and this will be largely worm and many
of the best houses are making quanti-
ties of travelling dresses and wraps of it
for next season.
The exquisite black brocadod Hen
riettas are made up in elegant long
cloaks and wraps, and trimmed with
borders of fur. and lined with quilted
satin, or, in some instances, with squir-
rel skins.
Wide falling colors of lace or fluted
null, are worn on all sorts of home
dresses, though linen collars and cuffs
ing collars are more becoming to many
than the fat collars, and each should
choose for herself
Dresses for mourning, especially for
widows. are extremely plain, and are
entirely of Grape over dead black or
lusterless silk. The widows cap is
small and fiat, and pointed towards the
forehead, tapering at the sides, and the
strings fasten under the coil of hair at
the back
A simple dress of black brocade is
made with straight, full skirt, the sole
ornament being small pointed apron,
composed of pendant strands of cut jet
beads. The bodice in Louis XIV. oval
shape, is finished at the sides with
square pocket pieces of similar jet
strands, and trimming of jet finishes
the front of the coat.

and the long coats this season is a re-

cross-over seam below the waist.
Among all the draped, shirred and
puffed bodices, the plain tight-ftting
corsage, laced behind, is finding it's way
back again: the front is fitted as closely
as can be by seam down the middle
and by darts; the lower edge is pointed
at the front and at the back; the front
of the skirt is usually slightly draped,
framing the point of the bodice. and the
rest in straight plaits, alternately wide
and narrow.-Home.
