The Washington girl-all Washington
women are girls until they grow old-is a

and the type of the south. She is of the
woman womanly. She has peculiar deli
cateness of face and figure. The bosom is
full and the hips beautifully rounded, yet
the form is slender. Hands and feet are
small The height is oftener under five
feet five than over it. The eyes are apt to
be hazel or dark, and are always bright
and tender. The eyebrows are somewhat
heavy and strongly marked, and the lashes
are long. The complexion is singularly

spends most eloquence is that of sashes
and scarfs. The proper way to tie a bow
has become, IL seems. of even graver i'm
portance than formerly. Some bows as
sumo to themselves SO much consequence
that they monopolize the front of a bodice
entirely. One dress that appeared at a
most stately afternoon tea function has
been described to me several times. 1t was
made, Tabitha reiterates, of a rich fawn
cloth, with the able assistance of duh
rose miroir velvet, which, covered with
black silk applique lace, constituted the
lower part Of the bodice and the sleeves
short tolero comprised the rest of the
bodice; this was trimmed round and round
with pipings of green velvet alternating
with Fittings of black silk braid. A band
of Persian lamb EDGED the bolero as we'll
as its high, heart-cleft collar. The novelty
Of the costume was the scarf of dull rose
silk, which tied at the throat in a fiaring
bow with sailor ends, was drawn down
under paste buckle across the bosom and
was loosely tied with more ends at the
waist line. This scarf was the bodice front
and a most effective one. The skirt was
trimmed to the knees with Fittings of
braid and velvet pipirgs.
At the Horse Show.
The only relief fortune promises me from
Tabitha is the horse show. That will
bring forward costumes newer than hers.
A dress in process of making for this func-
ton was shown to me yesterday. 1t was
of delicate silver-colored cloth, bordered
with chinchilla at the hem. An applique
of silver gallon of equally delicate shading
formed a series of scrolls upon the skirt,
rising to the waist in points. The bodice
was a snug-fitting affair, covered with an
applique like that on the skirt and fastened
with a skeleton Swiss bel. in mauve rib
bon. full pouched front of miroir velvet
shading like Neapolitan violet was edged
with sable, two little tails escaping under
the belt upon the skirt. The neck was
finished with tucked yoke of silver satin
with small fur eDaulettes, lace and mauve
ribbon bows.
The sleeves had different finish from
any have before seen. They were laid in
fine tucks from shoulder to wrist the
tuclss being grouped to form shallow VS..
Very Dainty.
The hat accompanying this costume was
puff of silver gray velvet, trimmed with
Neapolitan Violets and white osprey.
A very quite calling costume seen at an
afternoon tea was trimmed with the strap
pings SO prevalent everywhere, 1t was a
coat and skirt dress, remarkable more for
the perfection of it's cut than for any orig
inality. The dark green coat bodice fitted
like a glove; the skirts of it came below
the hips. 1t was strapped up and down
with black velvet. were skirt and
sleeves The be dice revers formed a broad
CELLAR of ermine. A smart cooked hat went
with this dress. of green velvet, trimmed
with Tennysonian purple and red" roses.
