The gray moufflon is another pretty;
name for lambs wool, and is exceeding!
ly pretty. Sss

studded over with fine jets being most
attractive. .-..
Graduated bows, seven in number, 0fs
small silver beads and fastened with ~

Blauketing plsids appear this season

The juxtaposition of fur with dainty
evening silks and laces is new ParisiAn
departure, Narrow borders Of mink
and sable surround the bottom Of skirtss
and edge the bodices Of ball dresses. S
Waists of cloth dresses continue to ba
extremely fancy. Black velvet is extenfS
sively used for trimming them. Entire
sleeves are made of it, also vests and
portions of the waist, so that very little
of the cloth is seen. 3
Very pale gray gloves are worn with
entire white costumes. The effect is III
little odd, inasmuch as the hands look q
shade darker than does the upper part Of
the arm, and consequently have what
might be called dusty look.
The large real white lace wells that are ]
worn by few women will, it is said, be
popular during the winter months with
the large white felt hats that promise to-
hide the view of the stage from eyerys
body who loves to 90 to the theatre.
Pattern or robe dresses are sent over
in boxes in camel's hair, Henrietta cloth,
vigogne and drap d'ete. These are
woven with curved borders, gra duating
in size and pattern as they near the ops
posite selvage which is the top of theA
fin de steele" skirt. These dresses are 55
rich, stylish and expensive. 3i
Circular earrings the size Of twenty-S;
five cent pieces are seen every few stepsa !
this fall. Sometimes they are set with
good sized diamonds with spaces Of
plain gold; again they are wheels OF Il
topaz, and again rings Of repousse gold
They are a decided innovation on the
unobtusive styles of earring that have
been worn for so long.
Loves and doves riot over everything I
that is used for lovely woman In her
personal adornment-on her brushes,
combs, hand-glasses, shoe-horus, parasol +
handles. The most dainty adaptation is &
seen Oh her card ease of white velium
and undresscd kid. In the former the
ornament is illuminated, on the latter is 4
a raised ornament lightly touched with !
gold.
The prevailing mode for an evening
bodice is similar to that worn during the I
time of Lincoln, aud seen to such adj
vantage in the numerous portraits of his
wife. 1t is cut perfectly round, front
and back, and finished with face of
deep lace, carried over the shoulders. z
Sometimes the lace is tackled to form a j

loosely aud drapes the upper portion af
