Correspondence of The Journal.
Fancy silks make up for the lack of
variety in woods, and limitations of Ma
ture are the most prominent designs,
not only of leaves OF flowers, but also
of sunset clouds in the most brilliant
! hues. Small. narrow leaves in Persian
coloring, sprinkled with very minute
white silk dots, or crossed by silver
stripes, are particularly rich and attrac-
tive, and other styles resembling chene
patterns are woven with liberal
intermixture of gilt threads which re-
fleet charmingly as the material is turn
ed in different lights. Dark hued ivy
leaves, outlined by white silk cord, on
| black satin finished silk, is as UNIQUE as
beautiful. In addition to these novel
ties bouquet designs, fancy stripes,
dots, or squares come by the thousand.
STYLES IN FURs
are not decided until after C. c..
Shayne's opening, which fact deter
mines the increasing popularity of Per-
sian lamb for garments, while for boas
or neck pieces, the fluffy furs are in the
ascendency. a very fashionable, jaun-
! ty Elton. is tight fitting to the waist,
with a Juno 'front.'" "a high collar
rounded at the corners and broad re-
vers) of contrasting fur. These jackets
are made of Persian lamb, seal, otter
OF broad tail; another style being long
er, with a point in the back, having
also Juno front" Three-quarter or
very long coats are shown of seal,
otter OF Persian, and of course the
length increases the expense.
LONG, FLUFFY BOAs
are in extreme demand; all the fox furs
being called into requisition, ana black
or brown bear, Alaska sable, stone mar
ten or black or colored lynx as we'll.
The last are very handsome, retailing
at about $4,000. Smaller and less ex-
pensive pieces, with or without tails,
suit persons of very moderate means,
| costing from $1,000 upwards. Collar
cites are often preferred to long boas,
because less troublesome to manage;
brought out in mink, Hudson Bay sa-
BILE, CT Alaska sable. Capes are by no
means extinct, and mink or Persian
lamb for this purpose have not lost
favor, the most elegant, however, are
of Hudson Bay sable trimmed with
tails. No novelties are noticeable in
m uffs-simply large and of box shape
Chinchilla, the loveliest of furs, is
shown in a great variety of beautiful
little co,larettes and capes for evening
or theatre use, with or without clusters
of manufactured tails; or as trimmings
on Persian lamb, otter or seal, its
beauty is enhanced by contrast. Re
vers and muff of chinchilla are alike
suitable for day or evening. Cloth
capes lined with squirrel are standard;
of SO much real use and comfort that
they are always in demand
LACE, SPANGLED NET,
crepe de Chine, stamped chiffon or NOUS
seine de sole in very large flowers, are
leading fabrics for evening, not omit
ting black velvet appliques on white
lace; and fancy bodices, composed of
spangles, lace or fine appliques are
most appropriate with skirts of such
materials. Separate skirts for day or
evening wear mot full Dress are of tat
feta silk or cloth, trimmed with open
work velvet bands, silk or satin, stitch
bands; but plain black velvet is the
skirt beyond all Others, illustrating the
great preference now accorded to black
velvet. In skirt bindings the S. II. &
NJ corduroy or velveteen binding con-
tinues to lead, and is especially valua-
BILE because protecting the material;
and experience proves also that for
walking skirts, its smooth surface pre-
vents the hem from wearing.
INDEPENDENT WAISTS
were never more varied, commencing
with striped Scotch flannel; then comes
the useful taffeta silk, with either
tucked yokes or those extending from
shoulder to waist. Rows of fancy braid
in contrast are popular trimming,
sometimes between narrow tucks, this
however, is an optional matter. Pop
linette or crepe de Chine make dressy
waists, trimmed with contrasting braid
or fancy cord. VERONA CLARKE.
