RICHES of muslin to match; this gives more
stylish aspect to the dress. for the skirts are
so long that they nearly always have TO be
held up; the richness of the petticoat there
fore, should never be neglected, and it ought
to be always in character with that of the
dress.
As soon as the fine days set in there will
be a display of colored shoes, which have
been worn continually ON the azure coats.

to match will be the most worn. Remem-
Der, my dear, that white shoes make the
feet look extremely large. and should be
chosen with the greatest Judgment.
The fashion Of American shoes, so long.
thin and becoming, with high uppers and
soft, fine soies, has quite taken root in
Paris. They arc extremely light. and at
the same time quite substantial enough. for
the soles are made of compressed leather.
Do>yoa want to know all about sunshades,
which are so original and attractive and are
sure of great success? Those used today
are in the art nouyeau' style, with handles
that are verltable jewels. Many of the
sticks are of maple, rosewood or mahogany,
ornamented with symbolic figures OF heraldic
designs, or inlaid with pearls, lapis lazuli,
sardonyx, onyx, &c.
The bright-colored silk. striking a gay
note, is painted with designs in fresco, in
keeping with the style of the "bibelot,' for
these sunshades arc real "bibelots dart"

made of materials not hitherto used for this

new and becoming
Dresses in preparation are long and full
round the bottom, and appear us though
the wearer was rolled in an antique drapery,
so soft and flexible are the materials used
for this style
Another thing That will render this sea
sons fashions extremely pleasing is that
in spite Of the enyeloping fulness of the skirt,
the purity Of the line and simplicity of as

TO the bust and hips If this simplicity
appears exaggerated. the richness and re-
fncment of the details continue. Elaborate
braids, rare gupures. ncrustations and ar
tistic embroideries-no nothing has been re-
garded as too costly to enrich ladies' toilets
and the luxuriousness has extended 10 under

In regard to these, ! must tell you that
white petticoats are, made to an enormous
extent this season. Some lovely ones are
infrusted with butterflies of lace, rows of
6ounces overlapping and cut in indenta-
lions filled with friled lace hounces. These
petticoats to be in the fashion, must be

Others, more useful, are made of a wide
linen hounce nerusted with lace and made
up on a ground of bright-colored taffetas-
pink, blue, mauve or straw color, which
should be selected to match the color of the
skirt.
To wear with foulard dresses, many petit

The passage in Shakespeare referred to by
Scott relates to the custom of licking the

Seldom, in his "Tittles of Honour" says
that kissing the thumb was a characteristic
