BALL GOWNS.
In evening gowns there is very little
novelty as yet. The bodice is pointed
in front and round in the back, and
IS laced or hooked in the back. 1t is
cut straight across the neck and the
sleeves are set on above the neck to
give a square effect. Necks are only
moderately low. Some sleeves fall off
the shoulders and straps take their
place as a support. These bands give
opportunity to utilize jewels if one has
them. The usual sleeve forms a pun,
either single or overlapping ruffies.
Some bail gowns, bu. not al, have
girdle be1.s and sas[n ends.
1t is still a question as to whether
there will be much vogue for lowered
silks. Worth seems to count upon it
absolutely. since his house is well
stocked with elaborate brocadeS, but
Worth's custom is largely among a
foreign clientele and in court gowns
where he can dictate himself. It is not
so certain that this Will be the choice of
Partisan women. There is in fact, a
leaning towards satin gowns with hand
embroidery on the front Also very
| beautiful gowns are made of blocked
or plated silks, in delicate tints, as of
bl,4e and rose, pearl or pale yellow.
TIL. Sc are trimmed simply with black
velvet. Tr-se ruffies overlap on the
skirt. running close together in front
and spreading toward the back, so as
to take the. outline of a curve. The
sleeves are made of ruff1es. A gown Of
this sort in yellow mousseline bound
with black has black velvet on the
bodice forming a knOtted scarf across
the back and a bolero in front. Jab-
lots of white lace fall from under the
front of the bolero, and shaded orange
velvet forms knot at the neck and
at the belt.
Other gowns have the entire skirt of
plated mousseline de sole enriched
with bands of lace or jewelled passe-
menterie running down from the belt
at intervals. With this skirt is vel
vet bodice with a chemisette of the
mousseline.
For remodeling soiled evening gowns
a useful adjunct is transparent ecru
lines. either embroidered or plain. If
plain the ruffles are bound with black
velvet 1t harmonizes particularly well
with pink. Add a belt and shoulder
straps of shaded velvet running from
pale rose down to red
THE FASHIONABLE COUTURE.
1 have it on the authority of Leuth-
eric that in obedience to the change in
hats the hair is being worn higher
upon the head. The knot is now car
ried up far enough to go under the
hat crown. which is now high enough
to contain it. This is a natural effort
at adjustment of lines and was to have
been expected. The method is to wave
it all round, as heretofore, draw it high
into a small knot and set narrow
Spanish comb behind the knot. The
ears are uncovered, but the waves of
the back fall loose enough to fill the
space behind them, and at each side
the forehead may fall little fringe.
This is called the Louis XIV mode and
will prevail for the winter. The even
ing coiffure does not differ from that
of the day, except by the addition OF
an ornament On account of the sim
plicity of this arrangement, evening or
naments are small. Diamonds are set
in a delicate balanced spray to be
