another gown Of lace. Under these two
lace dresses there is another thin ma
terial and finally a heavy lining. Thus
half a dozen thin skirts are worn. one
over the other. with all the shades
showing through IN fridescent array.
The other extreme is the evening gown
Of heavy material. And, in this con-
necuon one cannot say a sufficient
number Of nice things for the heavy
gown. There are dresses OF brocade
with flowers stamped upon them. There
are lovely brocaded silk creations with
figures let into the material and with
delicate stripes OF lace running along
side Of stripes Of silk. And there are
old-fashioned seeded silks and gowns
that look more ike satin than silk. and
more Ike velvet and satin.

almost have been called chiffon velvet,

fine advantage.
It IS simply amazing to note the vogue
for embroidered flowers Roses are
made out OF silk braid and applied to the
skirt OF the gown and TO the waist.

outline the petals OF rose. Then
go over It with few pearls 10 make
the rose glisten. and in the very center
sew dozen Of the tiniest OF rhinestone
beads. Leaves and stems can all be

There is a wonderful demand for sill
vered roses and the narrowest of sill.
vered braid is employed for these The
shape OF the rose IS outlined with
the silver braid, after which the petals
are worked In with silk thread. Tiny
seed pearls are now scattered through
the petals and in the center are seWed
very small seed topaz as yellow as gold.
Consequently, the heart OF the rose is
made with gold beads or with beads OF

There is no limit at all TO the hand

Women Of Fashion.
Dashing IS the best epithet to bestow
upon the woman Of fashion, for her
styles have e certain dash about them
which is simply irresistible. From the
top Of her head 10 the very tip Of her
toe there Is a dash about her
Beginning at her feet. which should
be last. there is a style. Her shoes are
made OF handsome leather and they are
trimmed either with strapping or with
stitching The heels are the tail smart

are large and of a contrasting color

Smart Hats.

the hat. which is excessively smart this
year. II is tail and the crown Is square
and the trimming stands up upon the
hat II is a pretty thing, this hat OF
the winter of 1865. for ii is planned with
such a dash and with so much style.
The big. haring picture hat. wide in
brim, tall In crown and trimmed with
an ostrich plume is about as distin-
guished as any hat could possibly be.
These hats are made up mostly in two
colors and they are designed in such a
manner that they match two suits in
stead Of one. A hat Of gray elaborate
ly trimmed with green can be worn with
equal propriety with a gown OF gray
or with a gown Of green.

II seems a pity to place these chiffon

anything half as handsome in a davis

Neck Arrangements.

Neck arrangements rank with girdIes
IN elaborate details. One OF the hand
soonest consisted OF a fiounce Of lace
|draped around a low cOrsage ana caught
every few inches with a velvet pansy
Iappliqued upon circle of green satin
with pearls studding the satin. In the
heart OF the pansy glistened a little
rhinestone.
Lace is dyed and used for thinning
the neck as with a fichu. This lace is
caught up on each shoulder and Is
caught again upon the bust. and IS fas-
tened with some handsome trimmings
specially designed for this purpose.
Another cOrsage trimming consists Of
fringe which Is brought across the front
OF the gown and fastened at the shoul-
der with an ornament OF passementerie
with dangling ends. This should be as
brilliant as possible. and there come
ornaments which are a mixture OF pearls
and rhinestones and emeralds. all mass
ed IN one handsome group or setting.
Ornaments for the Hair.
Ornaments for the hair are SO varied
as 20 be worth a volume OF descrip-
ton. And so numerous are they that
ladies OF fashion own small trunks, so
designed that they can be lined with
these ornaments and nothing else.
A lady who dresses a great deal is the
owner OF large hat box, which is lined
