They would not seem at first glance to be
efficient aids to political success, but in
the peculiar emergency which Lincoln in
the providence of God. was called TO

possibly have become "the chosen of the

Many of the new red cloth Jackets are
a mass of the most complex and intricate
braiding.
Plaids, when used for dresses. are
made up on the bias and finished with
broad hem.
Belts are growing narrow again, as
those of ribbon two inches wide are sent
over with the latest frocks.
New lace-trmmed handkerchiefs have
Quarter-inch hems, and are edged with
inch wide Valenciennes lace.
Primrose crepe de Chine is much used
by fashionable modistes in making
dancing toilets and bridesmaid IS dresses.
In a gown of plain dark gray wool the
two side breadths of the skirt are of silk
in the same color. The sleeves have
high cuffs aud are trimmed with steel
lace.
Heavy and lustrous qualities of faiIle
Franchise are imported for handsome
church, visiting and carriage dresses.
The straight effects, English skirts and
princesse outlines which fashion now ia
vors are peculiarly adapted TO these rich
materials.
A stylish Partisan gown has bodice of
washerwoman drapery over skirt of
gray velvet, striped with Roman red
faille. The full vest is of the stripe,
with mousquetaire revers of gray velvet
at each side.
A lovely home dress is of heliotrops
cashmere of q pale shade. The bodice is
slightly plated at the throat aud waist;
the sleeves are slightly raisei at the
shoulders; pointed band, and sleeve
trimmings of ribbon velvet.
The fronts of the new French tea
gowns vary 10 many ways both on bodice
and skirt. Upon some they form
Breton vest, or Russian blouse of crepe
de Chine or embroidered bengallne, or
again, they have clan scsrfs crossing the
chest diagonally, the petticoat of gayly
plaided surah to correspond.
The fashionable method of mounting
the back brendths of skirts in the fan
plated style is chiefly adopted for heavy
fabrics in silk or wool, such as cloth,
tweed, sicillenne or poplin. The front
and sides of the Skin are as plain as pos
sible, quite round to the center back,
where the fulluess is massed In side
plaits.

And speaking of embroidered gar
ments, reminds me that ought to have
word to say about these modish
pelisses for the carriage. They are
made of cloth reaching to the feet, and
are gathered square upon velvet yokes
which are richly embroidered. They
may be either plain or partly adjusted to
the figure, and, in either case, must
have very large sleeves, raised on the
shoulders. But the great point is in the
selection of color. Here it is that you

ment in setting off your peculiar style of

sewed to outside of wrapper skirt fronts
and hooks diagonally in front.
Tea-gowns are becoming more elabor-
ate, and although only worn at home, q
lady may receive callers and even at her
reception appear in tea-gown. These
tea-gowns as a rule are made tight-fit-
ting in reality, yet always with the ap-
pearance OF an easy flowing, seemingly
loose gown. One g taste for the artistic
or picturesque has full play in the tea
gown. The short waisted dresses which
some women admire, but do not dare
venture on for evening dress, are used
as tea-gowns. The front, straIg ht skirts,
the back breadths plated into long
narrow train, with the short waist en-
velped by broad satin sash are copies of
the days of the First Empire.
Quite as pretty, and by some eonsid-
cred more appropriate, are house gowns
of colored cashmere embroidered with
black.
The clinging skirt he's embroidery at
the foot of front and on the hips. The
short pointed bodice has embroidered
bretells and point of embroidery on the
front below velvet plastron. Sleeves,
velvet.
Many as have been the objections
urged against black, the artists who
crave brightness have not been able to
deprive it of its place. it is still worn by
women of ell ages and Is used to ac-
centuate lines.
Many black dresses for young ladies
are combination of cloth and bright
hOnrpI hrnnqna a no
bodice of the brocade is fastened behind
invisibly and is cut slightly pointed. The
sleeves are of this brocade. A folded
corselet and the collar are of cloth The
straight skirt has the cloth goods for the
front, the brocade for the back. An
other pretty and novel use of black
shown in the Paris dresses has the corse-
let and the plnier overskirt of black
cloth. the rest of the dress being
of cloth of some other shade, old
rose pink or violet. The effect is of one
dr.ss over another. The panier over
skirt Is the renewal of an old fashion.
Black nets for evening wear appliqued in
various patterns, especially the new de-
signs in Russian effects, with jewelad
flowers strewn yer the surfa e, will be
worn for evening dresses. Black lace
fiouncngs on velvet and silk dresses arg
SEEN on Worth g models, jet fiouncinss,
and those wrought with gold, silver and
steel. Beautiful black trimmings and
imported black velvet bows for fastening
draperies, black jetted and black lace in
handsome new styles help to make the
present black season conspicuous for
richness of materials. 1t will be last
ing one. that Is certain, from the readi-
ness with which women, always partial
to black have hailed its return. Whether
or not it is the most becoming color that
can he worn is matter OF dispute. If
the complexion Is sallow and the wrinkles
are there they are bound to show IN any
color.
