Silk braid fringes for wraps. and
dresses are the fashion.
The floral panier and the peasant
bodice, made wholly of small roses,
accompanying ball toilets, are
Fshort lived absurdities.
The latest style of arranging the
hair for full dress is the "Mme.
de Sevigne." The hair is waved
over the head, then arranged in
easy braids at the back with a
cluster of light curls falling from
the centre of the knot.
Some very beautiful cloth
fabrics for winter wraps have raised
designs in shaded velvet. Rough
surfaced cloths fifty inches wide
show fecked effects in fine brilliant
colorings. Venetian cloths appear
woven with fur or shaggy camel's
hair borders.
Sleeves are being made with
wris trimming to fall over the back
of the hands, as they were in the
days of the Plantagenets. The
fashion is decidedly the thing for
women who have large hands and
wrists. The coat sleeve, however
neat looking, is in it's severity, in,
imical to broad wrists and hands
inclined to be red.
One OF the novelties of the
winter is the Russian blouse Of
cloth or velvet belted closely and
edged with fur. This new blouse
is a long, staight garment of sim
plest shape and belted all around,
or else the back may be fitted and
the front left without darts, it's
fullness, confined by the belt,
giving blouse effect.
Simple and lovely evening
dresses for young girls are of soft
white Japanese crepe that has deep
crimson crinkles and very soft,
silky surface. They are made
with a baby waist, with two frills
of chiffon falling from the low,
round neck and caught up high on
the shoulders. The skirt is round
and full and barely touches the
floor.
Bretelles appear upon many of
the new toilets designed both for
children, misses and slender
matrons. Some are made of the
dress goods, others of bengaline,
surah, etc. nretelles of lace, velvet
or silk arr seen that are a mere
point at the waist-line, widening
to almost cover the shoulders.
Thence they pass to the back of
the neck III full flowing plaits
like a Stuart friil.
The handsome robe dresses of
ladies cloth embroidered along the
selvages, or trimmed with applique
velvet and bits of fur, are reduced
to at least one-third of their original
nrices. and are commendable pur-
chses in all the rich winter dyes,
( Fand in the more delicate tints of
golden brown, dove color, Suede,
chamois, beige, fawn and turquoise
blue.
Queen Victora still wears a hat,
that is, when she chooses. She ap-
peared in one about month ago
in one of her daily drives: "said
headgsar," writes an American
lady, abeing a sort of drab brown
straw, adorned with feather
which had once been white, but
which the smoke and fog of Lon
don had just as thoroughly demor-
allied as fit had bobbed and nod
ded upon the head of the lowliest
of the Qneeu's subject"
The chief novelty in gloves lies
in the new shades made for evening
wear, which include fcelle and
heliotrope, and the new tones of
drab and beaver intended for day
wear. Foremost among them are
imitation buckskin gloves. The
antelope is newer kind, and
several lew forms of gauntlets are
drawn in at the wrist with elastic,
and have pricked seams, which
means that the needle is passed
through the two edges, and the
leather is not overlaid as in pique
sewn.
A;variety of pretty things is
done with striped silks. An ex-
ample is dress of white and orange
striped moire, with which orange
orange velvet is used. The skirt
front is of the molre,with the stripes
meeting in VS. down the middle;
the sides and train are of velvet.
The corsage is a corselet of bias
striped with a half-open drapeay
of white lace above; on this drapery
are short rounded Spanish jacket
fronts of moire. The lace sleeves
are very full, and terminate just
above the elbow.
