These are warm and very becoming.
There are also a number of styles and
colors Of fascinators, but these, though
very pretty, are always slipping and apt
to give the fair wearer the earache.
Those who go down to the sea in ships
require special set of undergarments,
particularly in the winter. There should
be pair of lambs wool tights and long
wooden leggings, thick quilted petticoat
and a serge dress, either blue or black.
All other colors will stain with salt
water, and no matter how cold the
weather is on shore it is always several
degrees colder on the ocean, with chill
and penetrating dampness besides. i
have known two persons to contract ia
tai colds by being insufficiently clothed
on sea voyage. ALI gowns should be
plain and for service rather than show
ON shipboard, as even a well person
wants to lounge half the time, and the
seasick one isn't expected to sit up much
If at all, and a plainly made gown will
bear such treatment, while more styl
ish one will look like rag.
Leaving our seasick sister awhile, /
wish to say few words about the new
fancy of setting MORE sleeves into all
sorts of gowns and cloaks. This is a
handsome and dressy style, rather more
snowy than quietly elegant. The MORE
sleeves are now set in coats nearly as of
ten as in dresses, and they may be seen
with cheviot CT cloth coats, or even with
kersey or tan covert, supplemented by fur,
however. Wherever they are used they

afford n whole costume of 1t.
\ velvet cloak or coat with MORE
sleeves makes a magnificent garment.
Lace, embroidery, beading and fur are
all seen on the same garment, but only
on the richest. a few velvet long clOakS
have facings of MORE or a futed collar
of the same with fur border. MORE Is
also used to give brilliance to the favor
lite all black gowns of the frest figured
silk warp henrietta, md the luster of
the two fabrics seems TO unite in one
harmonious whole.
The pTincesSe form of dresses il again
q favorite, and shapely figures show OF
better in them than in any other style.
Whole dresses of MORE of a lighter but
scarcely less handsome grades employed
to make the entire gown. The train 10
such dress should be long and sweep
ing to obtain the full effect. Lace. Il
little choice fur. beaded passementerie
or velvet are all suitable trimmings,
either singly or all together. White
MORE is a superb material for wedding
gown or for a grand toilet of any kind
Yesterday / saw n new combination in
silks for full dress. The skirt was made
with a long train. The front breadth
was of white MORE, then two side
breadths were OF maize satin. The two
next were MORE, and a wide one in the
center Of the back was of the satin. The
sorsage was pointed, of MORE, with
pulled drapery of maize satin around the
neck as a bertha. The sleeves were of
The satin, with an inset of MORE on the
Top. The breadths were all cut perfectly
straight and laid in deep pllits. the full.
