PARIS FASHIONS.
Elegant Gowns Of Datiste and Muslin--Ths
Popular valsnoiennes.

Originality and elegance characterize
this seasons toilets. No expense or
thought is spared to give them refinement
and individuality. Ingenious trimmings,
contrasts of color and combinations Of It's
sues are used to all possible advantage In
composing the wide variety Of costumes
now worn.
Batiste and muslin gowns and gowns
made entirely of embroidery are having
great success in Paris, and foulard also
enjoys wide favor there, although it is not
seen here very much as yet. Plain rose
colored batiste composes many charming
gowns. They are trimmed with pink or
with white, and are profusely adorned
with valenciennes insertion, white en-
broidery and lace. The hat accompanying
one of these rose gowns is usually orna-
mented with pink roses or Is entirely
black, black hats having a decided vogue,
especially with light gowns.
Valenciennes lace prevails 1t Is usual
ly narrow, but is used most lavishly, en-
tire bodices being covered with it some
times. On rose or mauve batiste 1t Is par
