DRESSES STRETCHED IN CAIRO.

with deep, flat collar of lace, practi- cally making a small bolero. Narrow, dark green velvet ribbon was gathered into rosettes over the bust and fell down upon the skirt in streamers. A high plaited collar of the silk was the throat finish. The hat was green straw with trimmings of lace, an enameled buckle and quantity of black feath- CTS.
 A third costume, worn by pretty French girl, was of brown silk striped diagonally with fine red and yellow lines. The skirt was plain with seam on the left side of the front to accentu- ate the meeting of the stripes, which pointed downward from the waist in deep angles. The blouse bodice was of the same material with a cross-striping in brown velvet. A deep collar of plain brown silk laid in fine plaits came down over the shoulders and was fin- ished about the bust and at the throat with a full rufle. A belt of brown vel vet and a brown hat with black feath- CTS completed very quiet but very effective costume.
 Evening dress is brilliant this season. An extremely pretty example IS or white moire with double puff of gold colored mousseline de soie at the hem. The bodice is a bolero with loops and straps of gold lace held down by but tons. A pufing of mousseline de sole like that upon the skirt finishes the low-cut neck opening and frames the shoulders. The bolero opens upon a blouse of gold mousseline threaded watn turouoise. The sleeves are short, met by long white gloves. The jewels are pearls.
 At a recent dance the dress that seemed to excite most attention was or pale pink liberty silk, figured with darker roses. The low round bodice was framed with twisted ruehe or deep rose velvet edged with lace. The device was as successful as it was un- usual There was a pointed belt of the same velvet. The lace sleeves were very short, just yelling the tops of the eA- tremely long gloves. Anecklace or rose coral was the chief ornament, for corai is the lates. fad of fashion.

The Season of Gayety in Quaint
 Old Cairo.
White the Reigning Color in This Fashion's Cold Weather Capital Costumes Seen at a Masked
 Ball.
BaII.
Copyright, 1S97.l

Cairo, Egypt.-White is the favorite color in Egypt this winter. am not breaking into mummy cases for fashion hints from the Pharaohs because mod ern invention is exhausted, but am stat ing the fact that Cairo has become without doubt the winter capital of the migratory birds of fashions world. It is a queer sight, as one crosses the great Nile bridge on the Gizeh road, to see bicye1ist stuck between a string of camels and a long file of donkeys, with splendidly-appointed four-horse coach behind him, towering with Paris toilets on the box seat, and numbering Arab cart in front, in which eroaches a dusky woman whose face is hidden up to the eyes by her long pouch-like black veil; but it is just this bizarre mixture of the pcturesqueness of oriental sav- agery and the luXuries of a high civiliza- ton that is making Cairo social center outdoing the Riviera.
 There was a masked ball at one of the great hotels last night at which America, wrapped in the stars and stripes. promenaded with Egypt, and N is true that Americans are well to the front here. Think of New York ice cream and candy at the foot of the pyramids, or on top, for that matter. Could the mind of woman imagine q more delightful combination? There are pretty girls from New York, Chica- go, St. Louis. Philadelphia, from all the big cities of the country, smiling from under br.ight-hued parasols in the parade of carriages that fills the boule- yard Mehemet-Ali and the place Ibra- him Pasha at the driving hour every aft ernoon. There are American girls, too, as fresh as the English girls and as spirituelle as the French who sip their

four o'clock tea in the tropie gardens of the city or under the awnings of dahabeahs in white blouses and white lace hats so filmy that in any other climate one would consider the skies pretty carefully before putting them on. But in Cairo it "hardly ever" rains, and gay gowns have no weather prophet for their enemy.
 Two such girls whizzed past me in a smart trap just before sunset last even ing. A couple of outrunners in bar barrie trappings trotted in advance with shrill cries to clear the way, for Yankee girls take kindly to all the trimmings of orientalism and to the handsome "sais'' particularly. One of these girls have seen a number of times in quiet tailor dress on Fifth avenue. In her carriage in Cairo she wore a white cloth skirt and white chiffon blouse with pointed belt of blue velvet, em- broidered with steel. Over the blouse was short zouave of white cloth with gold embroidery, having ruche of blue rlbbons at the throat and caught to- gether over the bust with blue ribbon bows. There were white cloth caps above the plaited chiffon sleeves. Her nat Was of the new white Crocodile velvet, with roll of blue velvet under the brim, and plumes of the white paradise bird standing erect on one Ade. A veil of fine blue gauge with black chenille spots kept off the Afri- can sun.
 The sun, it may be said just here, is not hot at this season. The weather IS not unlike that of the English summer calling for thin clothes while the sun Is ap' but for wraps or even frrs in the evening. The other girl in the carriage carried d gray silk parasol figured with scarlet and wore piquant dress in the same colors. The bodice of her gown was a blouse in green silk fastening oh the left side and with one corner turned over in big revers from the throat and barred with scarlet rip- oons. Collar, belt and rosette to catch uown the revers were of scarlet velvet While three ribbon bands gave like 'ouch of color to the skirts hem. Her .oque was of gray velvet with black plumes,

lhgiy with mauye or heliotrope, and I have seen an evening dress Of two shades Of cerise, bordered with dark red and yelled with mauye tulle. Dresses even for the morning promenade. though t must be admitted that in Cairo the promenade is often only from the car riage to the shop door, abound in bright colors. Brilliant gold or orange velvet Is used constantly on the lapels of bodices or is introduced between the opening revers.
 Of course gold and silver threads play prominent part in all the en- broideries, and gold tinsel braid is used not only for belts, but for collars and cuffs, and even for skirt trimmings oc- casionally. Stuffs interwoven with sil- yer and gold are very general for even. ing dress, notably white moire or cash mere, and are used more or less. es- peeially in cloths interthreaded with colored velvet held down by tinsel, for the daytime. The Arabian bazars whose owners are not destitute of worldly wisdom, display boleros and zouayes all of cloth of gold, which cer- tainly have this advantage, that they can be worn with great variety of gowns. French women wear them over full blouses of net worked over with tinsel and jewels.

The fichu covered almost the entire front of the bodice and was made with innumerable small raffles that rose and fell with every puff of wind. A broad picture hat of yellow straw was trimmed with old rose velvet and yellow plumes. The woman who doesn't wear fichu wears a lace eravat and fastens it with jeweled pin.
 Another notable toilet on the same occasion was summery looking dress of pale green chine silk made with rather full skirt finished at the bottom with deep, beaded flounce of the same material. The bodice was a blouse
