this line which shows a Grape effect on
velutina, giving several apparent shades
to one single color. It is indescribabiv
rich. Mrs. Gould had a beautiful gowr
for afternoon made of pure white corded
velutina. 1t was cut princess, with long
juive sleeves, lined with shrimp pink
satin with green stripes. The green was
the tender reseda shade. The front
opened over an underskirt of pink Grape
of the same shade and bordered at the
foot with wide band OF pink ostrich
plumes. There was collar Of the same
at the neck, and at the waist there was
a silver chain with fringed bar at the
ends, which hung loosely, somewhat like
a theodore belt. Altogether it was a
dainty gown.
The new woolens seem to have all
broken out into tufts and spots, which
stand above the surface. One gown of
such material pleased me greatly. 1t had

The majority of bonnets are made OF
velvet and jet, with occasional wings o.
aigrets or some other light fancy fer
trimming. The little girls have great
variety of hats and poke bonnets made
of the colored felt plateaus, twisted and
bent into the shape found most becom-
ing. One of cardinal felt was bent and
plated into sort of scalloped poke ana
trimmed with full bow of cardinal
velvet ribbon, and there were strings TO
tie it with. A Mother Hubbard coat Of
cardinal cloth, with velvet yoke, was
worn with such hat and was veI-y
pretty indeed. Some hats have floral
trimming, but for winter other trim
ming looks rather more suitable. 1t is
probable that short ostrich tips viii be
much worn during the winter, and many
heads Of small animals, with bordetjngs
of the same fur. One lady had upright
sable tails on her purple velvet bonnet,
which was large poke, with the .brirl
faced with lilac and overlaid with creG.aI
lace. There were bows of ribbon on
the outside, too. and wide purple velves
strings.
