the side of each front were three mar
row satin rolls, put on in scmi-circle,
and finished at each end with a small
chou.
In spite Of the fact that the rufIies
arc so old, ono sees them, extremely
narrow, on many a skirt, put on very
far apart.
A very dainty arrangement for an
afternoon at-home gown is series of
lace tabs, arranged about the skirt.
The tabs are three or four inches
wide at the hips, and gradually mar,
row into point at the bottom of the
skirt. Three tiny satin folds put on
in sc,ni-eirclcs, in points, or in bor-
der that resembles the Greek some
what, except that it is very much freer
and larger in design, are seen very
often. These are very simple and girl
ish, and harmonize well with the plain,
full black skirts.
The double ruffle, or ruche, caught
down through the middle with band
of fur or other trimming, is also used
considerably, but should be placed at
the very bottom of the skirt.

An exquisite visiting dress, seen at
n tea the other afternoon, was of heavy
white cloth. The overskirt fell over q
sham skirt, the bottom of which was
edged with deep maroon velvet. The
oversllirt fell in points, and was edged
with marten sable. The bodice fitted
without visible wrinkle or a visible
seam, hooking at the side. just across
the bust was laid band of the ma
room velvet, curving upward at the
bottom, and edged with the sable.
Full hip pieces of the velvet were
added, and epaulets, in deep points,
were likewise of the maroon sable
edged.
Fancy dress is ut present in high ia
vor. A very successful affair given
last week displayeda a number of quaint
costumes. One young girl represent
ing butterfly wore short. full skirt
of yellow gauze. From each hip, fall
ing down the sides, are bright points,
butterAy-wing shape, embroidered in
fantastic and numerous shades. Small
butterflies are appliqued for border
about the bottom of the skirt. The
bodice bretelles are embroidered like
the wings of the skirt and fall in sharp
points over the belt. Two high wings
stand upon each shoulder, and one
butterfly is laid in the center of the
bust. The waist is cut low and neck
lace encircles the throat Even the
tiny slippers have saucy butterflies
! perched at their tips, and three of them
hold high carnival among her curls.
