skirt The present style admitting of so
many different trimmings on the same
waist, is a most agreeable one. and for
girls unable to replenish their winter ward
robes, ii is quite a relish I'd idea to be able
to drop lace or chiffon over a gown that
has been conspicuous for chic finish OF
sable. The lace added and held in place by
a fresh knot of velvet will entirely change
the effect of a gown, and make it entirely
a Ia mode A well known fashion writer
in speaking of this years fashion says;
at is the details and accessories of dress
that stand out conspicuously as the dis
tinctive feature of really new things in
fashion this year. and the supply of novel
ties in coraton, design and combination
of color has not been equal to the increaS-
ing demand for variety. The possibilities OF
effect gained by the use of many colors IN
one gown have been studied with great care
by the fashion designers Of 1898, and some
very novel combinations may be recorded
to the years credit English velvets, bro
caded satins rich silks and the dainuest
gauZe materials of exquisite coloring, with
the finest laces rare embroderies and Jew
eled trimmings make up the eXtravagant
side of the present fabric of fashion, ana
it would not seem that another year could
produce anything more beautiful in color
or texture than already exists. The very
lavish use of lace during the past two
years has given fresh impetus to the manu-
facture of laces, and most wonderful imi-
tations of the old-time handmade pillow
laces are the result. Dainty laces are
the refinement of dress decoration. and no
matter how plain the gown, a little fine
lace rightly distributed Will make il dainty.
Mechlin lace is especially fashionable, and
some of the finest patterns are revived in
silk, while renaissance, chantilly, point
dAlencon, and point dAngleterre are quite
as desirable. With entire gowns of velvet
ana fur, and real laces at the head, the
fashions of 1895 are. indeed, charmiugly eN-
travagant. There is no immediate prospect
Of n change in the interest of economy.
Jeweled girdles, belts. and clasps, together
with the lavish use of fancy and expensive
buttons, have established their claim for
favor during the year. The Louis XIV coat
bodice is another revival OF fashion which
has come to us in 1895. Still another which
is threatened is the long shoulder seam
that has been agitated without any Sc
rious results yet. Eodices differing in color
and material from the rest OF the gown
have developed unlimited variety, and
round waists and basque frills. The threat
ened fashion for bodices like the skirts and
sleeves has not yet suppressed the conve-
nient silk waist, and it bids fair TO prosper
for some time to come"
