back. Revers of the cloth are braided in
black soutache and edged with the fur.
The skirt is lined with black MORE,
trimmed with braid and fur and is in full
circular shape at the back, with three

Fashionable dress fabrics are varied in
deed this season, but it is the soft cling
ing textures that have first place. A
new cloth called drap de chine, soft faced
cloths, and drap d'ete are all worn. and
all silks must be soft and pliable, or they
have no style. Fleur de ~velours make
beautiful gowns, and the old fashioned
armure and OTTOMAN silks are coming into
favor again. The prettiest of all the fan-

OneJof the prettiest and newest fancies
this winter consists of a quaint and beau
tifully made opera hood, or cap, rather
a genuine Normandy model. 1t is not the
familiar peasant style, with its huge Al
satan bow at the top, but the style worn
exclusively by the Normandy women.
Tint cap considered of a very full gathered
crown, shaped to stand moderately high
at the top in front, affording sufficient
room for the towering pompadour, Jo-
~sephine, or other fashionable style of
! couture. The front of the cap is broad
and short-a mere wide band, laid fat
over the hair above the forehead, and
reaching only from ear to ear. This has
a rever of plain silk or satin, which turns
back from the face, almost covering the
fiat band which joints the full crow-1.
