GOWNS FOR YOUNG LADIES.
est things and dare the rest to follow. Two
young ladies even wore powdered hair late
ly, and it was certainly becoming. The
powder gives a certain %softness to the fea-
lures that is very pleasing, and, curiously
enough, it is becoming to all compilations.
l had intended to speak more of some
costumes that are not quite such startling
Innovations and that have the appreciation
of the sensible contingent. One very beau
tiful dress for a tall and statuesque young
lady was made of pale pink bengaline-
chat is to say, the upper part of the skirt,
which was fitted closely to the form except
In the back, where there were some gathers,
was of bengaline, the rest was of crisp,
rustling ~taffeta, and over this was an &C
Gordon plating of pink chiffon. This was
headed by a band of black lace insertion.
The waist was round and covered with
plated chiffon and cut square in the neck,
with a fiat border of lace. The belt and
buckle that went around the waist were of
gold. The sleeves were loose plated falls
of chiffon and were left open to the Shout
der. A fan held by loops of pink ribbon
completed one of the prettiest evening
dresses of the season.
There was another very handsome even
ing toilet, adapted for grand dinners as
well as for dancing. The skirt was of opa-
line silk, flashing into all the colors of the
opal as the wearer moved. Round the bot
tom was a full pelisse of white chiffon, and
over this was a festooned flounce of white
oriental lace, the points held by small but
terdy bows of ribbon to match the princi-
pal color. The waist was of chiffon lace,
and the silk formed the waist itself. The
chiffon and lace were draped over it. The
balloon sleeves were of flame colored velvet
edged with lace.
Another dress worth mention was worn
by a young lady just making her first en-.
try into society. The underskirt must have
been fine swiss muslin, as nothing else
could have given the same effect. Over
this were set 20 gathered ruffles of white
crepe lisse, reaching from the waist to the
feet, the edges hemmed and having one row
of Tom Thumb ribbon of pure white sewed
on them. TIL waist was a simple bebe,
with a bertha formed of three rows of the
same crepe lisse, with ribbon sewed on the
edges. There were no sleeves, but on the
shoulders were large rosettes of the Tom
Thumb ribbon with many ends, which
hung like a fringe down over the arm.
There was a white ribbon tied around the
waist, ending in short loops. Long white

this tasteful gown, that looked like a float
ing cloud of mist, SO light it was and so
d~iaphanous.
A few weeks of this whirl and pleasure,
and then it will be off to the mountains or
across the wide ocean in search of some
new sensation. Indeed the outgoing steam
ers carry many persons now The person
who has Travelled much is known by her
simple and serviceable wraps, while the
lady who is on her first voyage can be told
by the style she puts on. There never yet
has been devised any garment as comforta.
