Exquisite Fabrics and That's Are in Preps.
ration for Them.
Some beautiful fabrics and tintS are
in preparation for evening dress through
the winter. Brocades take naturally
the first place among these, being the
most costly products OF the loom. An
exquisite brocade has a design OF
chrysanthenums in natural colorS
raised in velvet upon ground Of cream
colored ribbed silk, the tint of which Is
so warm and deep as to be almost buff.
The flowers themselves are deep wall
flower, red, soft sunset pink, palesi
yellow and pure white, the petals being
in imitation Of those Of the Japanese
ehrysanthemum, resembling the Sea
anemonein character.
Many Of the floral brocades ac
striped with lines Of satin, which give
vefy light effect to the whole. Others
have alternate stripes Of brocaded
gsuze or grenadine silk. In one OF the
latter the open-work stripes are strewn
with small flowers in turquoise blue
and shrimp pink with brown foliage
Down either side Of the stripes runs 0
narrow line OF cream-colored satin
separating the open-work stripes from
bands OF ribbed velvet in the palesi
tone Of green, which forms
beautiful contrast with the turquois'
blue and soft, bright pink Of the flow
erA Very often the whole Of the under
dress is in chiffon, the now well-knowr
name Of the fine aud silky muslin thai
has been used by the mile in dressmak
ing during tine last few years. The
brocade or velvet forms the over-dress
being arranged either in long panels oi
open down the sides, showing the
undertakes at intervals.
Sometimes the under-dresS or petit.
coat shows only in glimpses where the
brocade is opened up al either side Ia
display II. In this way gold and sill.
yer brocade is arranged with side pieces
let in Of gold and silver spangled ne,
lined with white satin. These look as
though the whole Of the undertakes
were in spangled net. but only the
pieces visible are SO, the rest being in
plain white satin. A beautiful pink and
gold brocade is arranged in this way
with pale green chiffon, which also
forms the sleeves, and folds round the
bodice on the shoulders
Fur will be largely used for trimming
svening dresses this season. White satin
is the favorite material TO which to ap.
ply this rich ornsmentation. Sable
looks extremely well In contrast with
1t, or with pale blue, pale pink, or pale
yellow satin White velvet trimmed
with sable makes an ideal gown.
Beaver is another favorite fur for thi.
purpose. 1t is used merely as hem Oh
white or pale-tinted silks or satinS
Teagowns are also to be much trimmed
with fur. One Of these graceful gar.
ments in pale pink bengaline is Dor.
dered down the front with bands OF
black fox, and trimmhd upon the shoul.
ders with rich black lace and numerous
bows OF black MORE ribbon. A founce
OF black lace trims the border Of the
dress, with small knots Of narrow black
MORE ribbon holding on the folds OF
the lace at regular intervals. Another
teagOwn, in canary-colored satin, is
trimmed with narrow bands OF beaver.
There is a full collar Of the satin in
three folds, each hemmed with the
beaver, and much fulled upon the
shoulders Folds OF soft silk muslin
are used as trimmings round the neck
and wrists with very becoming effect.
A beautiful little tea jacket in brocade
OF honeysuclile colors has revers of the
brocade turned back from a vest Of
blush-pink satin. The revers, which re-
semble in form those of mans dress.
coat, are hemmed with beaver.
The shot silks prepared for evening
wear are beautiful in texture and color
Those in which the shot effect is COM
bined with moire or watering are the
most effective, this combination bring
ing ont the colors well. The union Of
pale green with sea-shell pink, such
favorite last spring, is still in great de.
mand and Is likely to continue to be 50,
for the fine mother-o'-pearl coloring so
well displayed by the sheeny glitter Of
the watering. Sleeves are a prominent
feature Of evening dress, though they
are by no means extensive. The ma
terial is frequently different from that
Of the dress itself, velvet being still the
favorite for this purpose For instance,
in the moirc shot silk in green and
pink, above described, the sleeves may
be in shell.pink or sea-green velvet, or
they may have band of velvet into
which fall OF fine lace is fastened
