Brocades and the brooches are in style
just now, and are well liked because they
bring out fully the exquisite fancies of
the style Louis XIV, which has become
popular again. The ~taffetas. printed with
flowers. is still utilized, to less extent,
however, then last year. These flowers
are now embroidered and studded with

upon such a mousseline-a novelty of
yesterday, which has become all the
rage today. Highly fashionable are also

a rubbing of pale green silk. Each flower

low-necked bodice of white meusseline
de sole with double revers of white satin
and pale green velvet, which are entirely

Too many of our old-time fashions are
going out, but one, at least, is coming in
again, says the Woman at Home I
speak of the wearing of miniatures. There
is indeed quite a rage for these delicate
little portraits just now of our fairest
women and children. You may have them

table. Only the other day I heard of an
American millionaire who gave orders to
a fashionable miniature painter to m
blazon his watch case with flowers of rare

It's such a pretty, dainty art, that of
miniature painting! AIt needed but that
we should wait for the revival of so att
