The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-02-12

q striking effect gives the violet velvet bor-
der on the soft heavy white satin, perticu-
lnrly when the velvet is edged by msrten
sable and the satin is heavily embroidered,
far up the front, in rich gold threads. Tie
corsage is still more striking, for It reminds
US OF great blossom, With the petals just
opening. The flower is white beneath, and
on it the petals Of violet velvet lie, each
separate, standing apart just a little, and
turned over and in as the top on the white
decOllate bodice teaeath, which Is edged
with gold gimp. Small violet epaulets are
attached TO the shoulders by velvet choux.
Beautiful white satin pulled sleeves are
ed Red with finest marquise hOuncing of
mOusseline de sole.
OF course a triple cape is worn with it,
and, OF course, the cspes and high MedIci
collar are edged with sable.
The dehutsnte's color has come to be pink.
Not the delicate, faint tint that one might
suppose she would fancy, but a glowing
vivid shade, one to match The deepest
blushes that might mantle her cheek at the
first avowal II love. Perhaps she thinks the
color will help to dtguise the bushes, but
I'm afraid 1t Will only serve to bring them
out. There's an all-pink dress just finished
for q debutante made Of rather thin silk OF
princesss cut. AT the feet are two small
pink rutfiss and above draDings and knots
OF mOusssline de sole: then The drapery
starts at the right side and runs up across
the front, stopping at the waist on the left
hip IN another knot.
The corsage has an overdrape Of the
mousseline m destly meeting in front, and
over the head a beautiful white drapery,
rather tauciful, hides the shoulders and top
of the corsage.
Dear, what a lot Of skirts we shall have
to wear again Il she hoop really does land
on our shores. Our beautiful gloye-fiJting
garment and single warm underskirt, with
oil l. l.
Of the past, and we shall, no doubt, rustic
about in wonderfully large, stiff petticoats,
that stand ous well and have none of the
soft cling that has 80 endeared itself to the
human heart. Even silk skirtA have been
made fuller and more expansive, to grad
ually accu. tom us to the change.
Aiack and alas! that we must again bow
benz ath the burden Of multItudinous
draperies well-nigh beyond our control
But there. We have once more allowed
ourselves to drift into the forbidden subject.
Let me divert you for a moment With
description Of pretty evening bodice that
| saw but three nights ago on brilliant
golden~haired beauty. Its delicate green
tint looked we'll upon the clear skin. Twas
simple bodice, ga, hered loosely and caught
in with failIe helt that ran up in high
point in front, fastened al the waist. ALI
around the neck was G rutfle of green gauze,
and ct the head and edge of tine ruffie were
small vlolets, hanging closely and carelessly
at will. At the shoulders were small
punches Of viole6s and the sleeves were
double gauZe rutfies.
That is an empire bodice, and here is an
other empire couture. Gather your hair
Of course, at he crown of your head and
arrange it IN small puffs and curls, and
fas,en it with gold comb. Before gather
ing 1T. however, you must have parted it in
front and taken a small portion of it right
at the part and curled it in a little cluster
to drop over your forehead, just in the
center. Then a considerable portion must
have been taken at each side and curled
into small corkscrews, which hang straight
down each side OF your face. 1t gives a
very quaint effect and, once in hundred
girls, q pretty one. Try it.
