binary mourning by young ladies. The
latest novelties are a zigzaR weave and q
waved effect that has given these two the
name Of ocean crepon. Some others have
the silk thrown up in some places, which
produces stripes of silk and the intervening.
ones of the plain crepon. Some If them
are woven SO that little tufts are thrown up
IN the surface, and when it is electric white
it looks like the surface of new fallen snow.
There Is another beautiful design where
the body of the fabric is solid crepon, and
al over the surface in fine lines waves Of
silk are seen. This is truly exquisite. The
white silk lines glisten like polished silver.
Moire antique is fast taking its old time
place in public favor. Few entire costumes
are yet seen of it, but sleeves are made of
MORE, and often q ripple coat is entirely of
that and trimmed with fur or lace and
often with both. These coats are excep-
tionally rich and dressy. One gray MORE
looked like moonlight on the water. Such
rich material requires very little trimming,
and this dress had none except a bertha of
point lace and ruffles at the elbow Of the
same. The dress was for u grand dinner.
Next tothe superb moires come the black
satin duchesse, either entirely plain or else
with stripes of brocade. Some have Il satin

but the plain makes the handsomer gown.
There are some of the most expressive
moires, with satin brocaded figures, both
self or natural colors. The newest light
colored satins for evening gowns are GER
tainly as perfect as human hands can make
them, and the flowers wrought out look us
If strewn there after being freshly plucked.
The colors and shadings are perfect, and
every flower is Il picture, '1
The latest iIn%portations show some close
woven cheviots with a soft surface almostas
smooth as broadcloth, and this and the new
heavy weight cancels hair suitings make
ideal material for refined g"entlewomen,
and the modest coloring is another recon-
mendation, II on these gowns when not
tailor finished there may be two or even
three kinds of garniture employed. The
heavy point de gene in tea stain color Or in
ecru, and also in white and oyster, is really
the ~favorite trimming, and is generally laid
on fiat and bordered with fur and often
headed with jet. Hopsacking in black or
color looks we'll with a ga%rniture of such
lace. Margot and bruges lace are better
liked for silk gowns, and guipure and bour-
don are the best liked black laces.
Insertions of black lace over light gowns
are very fashionable, and point de paris is
a very useful white lace. There is also a
new but long list of jetted and jeweled
aouncings and overskirts of g%renadine or
brussels net in black and white. Some of
them recall T%ernyson's poem, where he
says, Like a swarm of cleaning f~ireflies,
tangled in a silver braid" Many Of the
most effective of the new trimmings are the
braids Of mohair set with jet capuchons.
This is snowy and very easily applied.
A very tasteful little novelty to add
dressiness to plain costumes is to lave a
velvet or silk collar cape and muf to
match. One such trifle had a collar up
standing, made of black grosgrain silk,
lined with the same and plated against a
''choker' and bordered with jet passemen-
terie. The lower part was pointed in front
and rippled in the back and bordered with
the jet. There was a full jabot OF point de
paris in front. The muff was made Of one
