IS extremely ornate. The groundwork is
OF blushrose pink silk, but it is almost en-
irely covered with lengthwise bands of
EN- broldered guipure over white satin.
There is the suggestion of a tiny pink
cnl1fon, and across this a gold flagree
chain is festooned and caught up with
falling ends at each side of the bodice. A
pand OF beautiful jewel-work encircles the
throat. The sleeves consist of two fully
gathered puffs to the elbow of the same
Silk as is used for the skirt, and the close
armlet is continued to the wrist, where
tabs of mauve velvet are turned back. The
walstbelt of mauve velvet is clasped with a
diamond buckle. Although from the de-
scription there would seem to be great di-
versItv of coloring in the costume. all the
hues are beautifully toned into harmony"

London.
The revival of beaver and chinelle hats
cannot but excite comment and bonnets
are remarkable for their exquisitely en-
broidered and bejeweled crowns. A hat
from Paris of fawn velvet has as trimmings
q succession of close-seJ loops in chine
ribbon of every hue blended and carried
round the crown; yellow roses nestle under
the brim.
Another hat, of black velvet, has large
bows of black and striped ribbon, APP
parently held in place with rhinestone
ornaments, which continue in great vogue.
Feathers and ospreys now stand up boldly

of white felt, with its large brim bordered
with black chinelle, which composed the
entire crown.

An English paper is quoted as publish.
ing this statement, which considerably
surprised me: THE latest instance of the

Chatting dishes are in more than usual
demand, and many are the delightful
after-theater suppers prepared on these
useful arrangements. Those having an

boast OF no other epaulette than a narrow
string OF artificial flowers or band of
jewels. This style Is temptation for
women with beautiful shoulders, but thew
will do well to resist it. MARcELLA.
