pretty one, as it saves the gown from
that ~ungraceful cutin two appearance the
straight line gives.
Another stylish home gown for a young
lady is of beef's blood surab over black
satin. The waist is a simple French gath
cred corsage with a belt. There is an oddly
designed bretelle cape which goes all
around across the shoulder, made of black
satin. The collar and gathered basquef rill,
rufGes and insert on the forearms and the
up turning friIl at the elbows are all of
black satin. the rest being red. The skirt
is slashed from top to bottom with five
slashes. Each Of these ia spread apart over
the black satin and held with tabs of surah
and surah covered buttons. The opening
at the back has two breadths Of black satin
plated in and spreading loose at the bot
tom.
Many Of the skirts for evening dresses
are elaborafely embroidered n set with
beads of whatever kind goes best with the
material. Light mock pearls aud what are
called satin beads are both very popular,
and they are not heavy and can be sewn On
lace or tuile dresses. The multiple founce
is quite as much liked as before, and It is
particularly handsome for light silks and

browns, as well as blue and black. Other
colors are often used, but are not SO refined.
Some Of the seasons plaids in quiet colors
could be made up this way, and they would
look well.
The ragefor black and white grows apace,
and the most striking of stripes and daring
of plaids are making their appearance on
the streets. The silks also show as brave
contrasts as the woods. The silks are being
made up for evening, and some of the
stripes are SO large and bright that the wo-
men wearing them become literally daz-
cling.
In one place ! saw an elegant carriage
and visiting costume. It was made of
changeable rep silk-that is, the dress was,
the colors' being maize and purple. The
skirt was simply gathered to the belt, and
the waist was French, with black lace
berthas over maize silk. The cloak was
quite long, of deep purple velvet, bordered
with sable fur and lined with maize satin.
There was a double cape of velvet that
was both rippled and plated, and both
parts were bordered with fur, and the front
was ornamented with purple velvet ribbon
in rich loops and ends. A tiny bonnet of
purple and maize velvet and plumes finish
ed a royal outfit.
A few years ago it would have been rank
heresy to have said that such colors and
combinations would be worn in 1893, but I
hardly see why we could not lave had
them always. They are royalty beautiful.
The newest style in gloves is a queer
checkcrboard pattern done on black kid
with white, but it does not seem possible
that any Lady of taste or refinement could
bring herself to wear them. But there are
long black silk gloves for evening, and
there are long colored silk ones that can be
obtained long enough to reach the shout
ders If necessary. These are in all colors
and match the colors on the seasons goods,
but the black or white or black and white
are to be called the very highest ton"
Purple kid gloves are shown. So are yell
low ones in several very pronounced shades.
There are white. gray and tan outing
gloves, and for every day are very pretty
~gauntlets. I noticed a very pretty pair of
white undressed gauntlets, the cuffs being
embroidered in green silk in clover pattern.
There are some new fancies in knock
about hats for young ladies, but none of
them so cute and bright as the t~arpaulin.
The brim is turned up and in and out three
or four times, and then black or white or
mixed black and white Grape rosettes are
set on and form a resting place for a slant
ing quill feather with the top sheared of.
They are pert little hats and very becom=
ing indeed to almost any face that is not

NEW FANCIES IN SKIRT oRNAMENTATIoN.
held together by straps or cords over an
underskirt of some contrasting color or
darker shade; there are skirts with a real
or simulated overskirt, and this trimmed in
almost any manner that pleases the wearer.
One pretty model that / saw recently
was of tan colored vienna, with an over
skirt reaching to the knees in front with a
point, and on the edge of this was a gath
cred rufle 8 inches wide of purple satin.
The bottom of the skirt was cut with a
point that reached almost to the bottom in
front over a 10 inch hounce of satin.
There was another gown for house wear
where the severity of the skirt was broken
by having it open in front over a panel of
gathered silk. The material was nastur-
tium seed green, and this was cut princess
in back and front, but opened down the
waist and skirt to give place to the putting
of old rose silk. There was a very full rose
plating of white lace all around the open
ing, and on the bottom of the green skirt
and across the foot of the pink there was a
large green bow, with the ends gathered
under the edge of the lacepuff. There was
a little chatelaine bag of green silk and
ribbon hanging to the waist. Wide bre-
telles, stiffened, made of green, surmounted
the pulled sleeves, and over these bretelles
were wide lace bretelles headed by the
pufings of lace.
Another skirt was quite remarkable in
its way, as it had a double effect. The gown
was Of striped wool, pale blue and coppery
brown. The skirt, and, in fact, the whole
costume, was cut on the bias. There were
three fat bias folds of russell broadcloth 4
inches deep. each all around the bottom of
the skirt. Down each side were double
folds Of the striped goods outside the fat
bands, and these reached from the waist
to the feet. Over the fiat bands of the
cloth there were set In pairs six large vel
vet covered buttons in the same coppery
shade. This gave a broken and lengthwise
effect that will without doubt become q
popular style.
Another elegant home gown of old rose
cashmere had the skirt cut plain and round.
There were three hounces of tufted lace
net in extra large mesh covering the entire
back of the skirt. Down the front hung
two braided black silk cords, with tassels
at the ends, almost at the feet. The round
waist was of the old rose draped with the
lace, which was fastened with jet and che
mile ornaments on the bust and shoulders.
The upper parts Of the sleeves We're also
covered with the net, and a pointed jet COL
lar with a fringe was around the neck.
An imported gown in one place showed
another double skirt. This was a gown of
lilac serge for a young lady, both upper and
lower skirts being richly embroidered in
green chenille of two shades, emerald and
moss. The two serge skirts were looped on
the right side to show p~etticoat of emer-
aid green velvet. The pulled sleeves were of
velvet, with serge forearns. The waist was
slightly gathered and pointed and embroid-
cred at the waist and neck in a pattern
similar to that on the skirts. The upper
skirt was in a rounded point in front. The
pointed overskirt is a new idea, but a very

make it will be much more diversified.
That the faith of the farmer of Day

that fall blowing has never been SO far
