The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1897-02-17

sementerie edges the fan-shaped bodice
front, which opens on the left side. A
puffed bertha of old rose mousseline
de sole is drawn about the shoulders
and peeps out from under the bodice
fan and all the way to the ground from
beneath the skirt panel. The short
sleeves are of mousseline de sole with
garniture of roses.
A handsome visiting dress of silver
gray corded silk is just ready for ship
ment to America. The bodice has a
zouaye of silver and jet passementerie
lined with silk of tawny mandarin
yellow and having long, long-pointed
hanging fronts, coming well down upon
the skirt draperies. Two vandykes of
the same passementerie ornament the
front of the skirt, which is otherwise
richly plain. Epaulets in the form of
small double capes, black satin bows to
hold the zouave in position in front, and
broad folded belt of black satin are
the only accessories.
Altogether different in style is a
promenade dress for the Riviera, that
favored land of sunshine from which
l hope to be writing again very soon.
1t is warm enough at San Reno or
Mentone to dispense with wraps very
frequently in the early afternoon, and
so winter dress for that climate is not
unlike what New York will see about
Easter. The gown of which l am
thinking has skirt of olive green vel
vet. This is almost entirely covered by
an oversliirt of dark violet cloth which
comes to the ground but is caught up a
BIT on the right side. Arabesque EN-
hroidery in olive green cord borders it
and covers the narrow belt of the skirt
material. The bodice is a velvet cross
over blouse, if such a term can be al
lowed. 1t opens bit in front to show
violet cloth vest and above it is q
very short violet silk bolero with olive
green embroidery. Fluted silk epaulets
cover the tops of the velvet sleeves.
The large hat of olive green straw is
trimmed with violet ribbon and with
foliage. A big bow of white tulle at the
throat adds the finishing touch to this
study in blue and green.
'Tis jump back again to midwinter
to pass on to a skating dress buried in
fur, and quite Russian in appearance.
Warm and cozy it looks with its reding-
cote cut of poppy red cloth edged with
"A deep border of mink fur. A mink
cape with high collar lies over the
shoulder, it's long pointed ends passing
under the metal belt at the waist and
hanging almost to the ground.
Among the newest models is very
attractive dress for house wear. A robe
of fawn-colored cloth with narrow
edging of gold cord embroidery opens
Upon princess gown of rose-tinted
moire. A broad sash of rose-colored
silk confines the waist, and at the throat
is fat, pointed collar of cream-colored
lace with standing collar of rose ribbons

a graceful dinner dress for a young
girl just admitted to the pleasures of
society is a princess gown of turquoise
blue silk with bretelles of white silk
set into the armholos in front, clasped
by gold buckles on either side of the
waist, outside of the white silk corse-
let, and hanging like long sash ends to
the ground From the high collar es-
capes a flaring ruche Of white lace.
The young queen of Holland has or
dered girlish evening dress of pale
yellow chine, the bodice draped with
yellow chiffon and powdered with sill
YER sequins. Garlands of rosebuds are
the decorations. Dress at the theaters
is rather good, Sbut here is more than
enough for now.
