IHE EXAMENTER. SAT LADIES' LETTER.  MY DEAR NELLIE, In Paris I am told fur, guipure, and artificial flowers are now employed very much together in wiilllnery ; and dainty theatre I)onnets of wired Ekuipu.re have no other trimming than a brim of fur, t4:F4? Little upstanding eara of the same, and a bunch of drajag flowers nestling cosily at their base. wiugs, t.po, are greatly in favour, to which are added tho t)ttes," or claws of birds, oxydised, glit.L.

Roll it up in the shape of a bolster ; fasten it firmly in a scalded and floured cloth. Boil two hours.  The revival of n,. eth as brought to light many pretty things in lapidaries' and jewellers, art. The smartest idea in this form is a deep collar of pearls intersected at intervals by bars of diamonds. As many as seven rows of large Oriental pearls are thus worn, and the collar is fastened will a solid square clasp, encrusted with diamonds. There is no arbitrary law as to necklets, and for this we have reason to be deeply thankful, since Nature has provided necks of such widely differing character. The possessor of one formed in long, graceful, swan-like proportions may with impunity venture on a collar d:cp and massive, and be sure that it suits her to perfection. If, however, a lady of more plump dimensions and a short, white throat were to buckle round it so stiff a piece of jewellery she would assuredly appear to be strangled by her own maQnificence. A necklet in graceful festoons of pearls caught up by rosettes of diamonds, and having perhaps alternate pendants of black and white pear-shaped pearls, would suit such a wearer as perfectly as the stiffer collars would suit her differently constructed sister.  What must h 3 just _ .nteresting to the bride as her wedding dress is the going away costume. A recent bride wore a mantle in departing for her honeymoon which, especially in this weather, made one positively envious, it was of smoke grey mirror velvet lined with pale green. The feature of the mantle, however, was the unique trimming of finest darkest Imperial -Russian sable which formed the collar cud cuffs, and bordered the frouts and tha edge, the depth of the latter being jcs.:i the length of the sable skin. We may look for a season of bright rich colour, combined with darker shades. As the innovation of different hued velvet puff:4, fur sleeves, and large collars to evening gowns made a revolution in ball-rooms and turned them into scenes of .kaleidoscopic vatiety of colour, so we may expect brilliancy in tone in day dress to a much greater extent than we had it throughout I?st year. A dress of pale grey cloth has sleeves and. a square bib, back and front, of the brightest and richest shade of violet velvet. Another gown in black fancy material, flecked over with tiny dots in scarlet, has sleeves of this brilliant-hued velvet, and a folded belt to match, while the black felt Cavalier hat has a scarlet ostrich plume laid along the drooping brim. As the spring advances the colours chosen will be more delicate, and the materials naturally lighter; but there is every reason to believe that which clever colourists have inaugurated will prove to be both long and successful. Nevertheless, one need not go to bright colours always for pretty costumes. A toilette de visite of brown cloth, with sleeves of apricot, velvet, arranged in triple cape style with bodice and skirt trimmed with narrow bawls of fur, was very attractive.  •:••,  b.A.404,  A petsou with a long face should never dres the hair high upon the head. The effect is to increase the apparent length of the features—the very thing which is to be avoided. The proper disposition, therefore, is to comb the hair smoothly at the top of the head, letting it roll somewhat at the sides, so as to add to the apparent breadth of the features. A lady dressed with a short, rather broad face, will naturally gather her tresses at the top of her head; if her brow be low, the hair will combed up from it, leaving it full, natural height; while if it be higher than is desired, the hair is deftly made to cover a portion of the expanse. If the brow is too wide, a little curl or some other appropriate dressing at the sides serves as a corrective; while a little - range of curls beneath the baok hair, attractive in themselves, also very often serves to decrease the apparent length of the wearer's neck.  Yours ever, JENNIE  The Empress of Russia makes all the clothing for her younger children, and also trims their new hats to suit her own taste.  At the time of the Flood the women of Babylon were arrayed in headgear and dresses almost the same as the styles now fashionable. This is proved by engraved stones and monuments stored in the British Museum.  As regards the gossip about the Princess of Wales and the crinolines, they are very much disliked by the Princess and the ladies of her household, and are not at all likely to come into fashion with them again.  In the island of New Britain a man must not speak to his mother-in-law. Not only is a speech forbidden to his relative, but she must be avoided, and if by any chance the lady is met, the son-in-law must hide himself lawvi=""t  • _ c -DA _LI _ fEIiRVA_ItY is, 1893• or cover his face.
