GLIMPSE OF WINTER FINERY


PARIS. July q. 1890.
Partisan women do not take to the
Ladysmith hat. A few English women
who are here appear in them, but for the
French type Of face they are utterly i'm
possible. 4 fresh-faced young giri or
handsome woman of the most undeniabic
chic may dare one without disadvantage
to her appearance. but then these types
could wear anything. The utility of the
ha, is not to be sainsaid; no hat put upon
the market in recent years is SO serviceable
fof' outdoor wear. for it may be turned
down in the front to shade the face and
in the back to shade the neck, If SO de-
sired. The hats are made of coarse straw,
which allows the air to circulate freely
over the head. They are 50 inexpensive,

The draped neckbands worn much this

wearer than they appear TO the unnitiated

davs they are far from comfortable. The
accepted cut for high stocks is with points
under the ears. They may be worn with
a bow in front. in the back or at the sides.

The popularity of fouard remains

combines with other fabrics and trimmings
to achieve notably fire effects. One very
handsome model Of foulard was made with
"A circular instead of a boX-plaited skirt,
some what newer and more graceful effect.
Three narrow fOunces trimmed the lower
part of the skirt. The bloused waist was
furnished with yoke composed IF narrow
tucks and bands Of insertion, collar of
white cloth and lace framing the yoke. a
silk bertha and broad belt of foulard
gave the finishing touches to the bodice.
Exquisite Toilette.
a very handsome summer dress for a
Young girl be made Of white silk
batlste, one of the softest and pgettiest of
the summer fabrics. One of this sort l
noticed the other afternoon at the en-
trance to The BaialS de Luxembourg on a
very smart damsel, who. while CARRIED in
he accepted mode, did not strike me as
Partisan, and who. L afterward learned,
was d famous American heiress. Her cos
tune was of white silk batiste, made very
simply, yet elegantly, with lace and ribbon
insertions.
The use of striped fabrics continues I'M
abated At the races one notices many
of the most striking gowns made of barred
goods Red and white striped silk, with
"a rich trimming of ciuny lace, was one of
the smartest of such effects recently worn
by the Countess de Tredern, the great ar
bitter of fashion. The effect of the stripes
was heightened by the novel use of black
ribbons drawn through the lace. The high
belt was of red silk and the white silk |
skirt was thiciSly trimmed with fine gold |
braid trimming.
