There is extravagance in etyle sod quality, 188 sort of compensation for lack of quantity. For evening toilets, flowers rivat laco. Young ladies combine sills with the most transparent fabrics, rondering less obvious the heaviness of the silk. For exemple, & costume of frozen-water green 18 trimmed with creamy tinted crepe lisss plait- ings znd a bewildering arrangement of soft puftings and drspings at the back. A plaited scarf of crepe lisse is gracefully laid acrose the front of the skirt, frioged with white rose-buds and dark folisge. A mew trimming for ball- drosges is broderie lasce. This is strong, firm illusion, exquisitely embroidered with satin floss silk. The effect is very mch sod elegant ©pon tbe creamy-tinted failles of this som- eon. Another new lace is sn imitation of the genuine roysl Venetien point, in rare devices of elaborate antiqne figures of interlaced bars and serolls, snd in fleur de lis and roses of cathedral windows and the trefoil of altar- screens and Moorish arsbesques. There are other imitations of the costly and rare point @' Alengon, its patterns taken, asmost of the lace-work designs are, from the micute tracaries of artists in stome. These laces are used to trim tho overskirts snd aptons of ball-drosses. All white #ilks this season aseume the favorice ivorv tint. Desd white has lost 1tu prestige. As » slight depastare from the fashiooable cresmy whitenees, a yuperb dress Law been lataly made ofatiot ol white with a rosy bue cast over it, nd this is combined with a dark shedo of gar~ net volvet, snd fuffy oft pisitings of erops lisse. Some of the moxt charming ball-dresses geen this winter are of pare whitoness, made of fine tarictane profasely trimmed with silver- trecs braia and wish quaatities of white ribbon bows and siiver buckles. Thia uiyle of costume is izexpensive. Ths Tavorte ml:'rl N{or mi-dru;ni!n ;n gl“" ercam, aier- 58 an : klne ; otar these mmdnmol ?:lnh. innndlvnh g laods of rosebuds. There are twelve pisces in the models of the coraet-waista, fitting with ex- act symmetry, made lengthwiss. Low wais have elbow eleeves, but the tiny cap-sleeva 13 prsferred by tnose baving beaatiful arms, Reception and dioner drossos are mads in the Dew princeese shape—the Marguerite—and in the Lonis Quatorze and the stately medieval styles. They are of such superb fabrics ss brocade, r damassa, velvet, silk smpsd with velvet, and emboased velvet : and rumor whispera that the ladies are to expsct fabrics still more splendid aud marvelous. The last canrice for the oroamentation of these costumes is an extravagance in the wav of bustons—seta of Scarabes in Egyptian colors of ensmel aod the pink lotns flour enameled on & black ground. Another unique style has two brosd bands, one blue, the other green, with figares of gold in checks of an Oriental character. A set of gold buttons is enameled in bars of blus, red, and green, and others are copies of ancient models in Grecian mythology. Thsre are also tiny flies of amber, with ontsprasd transparent wings, bees of topszand black enamel. butter- flies with dismond wings, and doves of opais and dismonds. There are other varieties in ap- tique gilver, enamoled snd oxidized silver to correspond with the fligres beads and seta of jewelry now 8o fashionable. These battons are 1l of medinm gize. Foreign desiguers are Introducing into the ‘magnificent silks just appearing the fashioos of Saracenio textures wrought in Spain, some of which have already appesred hero. Old silks from the Palermo looms zre copied. The tawny ground has small curled,serrated leaves—the vine leaf and blue-floverol centsura. India silks of the gargeous medicval period are reproduced in Paris, with flowers and shells and ali manner of strange figures in silver and gold. For these superb fabrics society has been slroady prevared by the gilt and miver timsues, the glittering braids and frinzes now fashionably worn. De- signers ars searching Genoa, Venice, Luces, aad other cities noted for silken figured textures, whero specimens are found and immediately copisd. A late importation is an exceedingly soft cashmere and & wool éerge of such shados as navy-blue, dark iron-gray, mulberry, prune, and ap invisible green, with s stripe edged with repped lines of gilt. It ia hioted that conceita in the styles and embrofderies of the garments of ancient days wifl be aain introduced, where- in the * fignres resemblo in color the flowera of the field, and rival in finoness the work of spidera.” Among other quaint novelties is the princesse dress. out low-necked for an evening toilet. Tha front of the coatume is plain sk, and the back is composed of such rich fabric ag brocade inter~ wosen with threads of gilt or sitver, velvet, satin damask, or emboesed velvet. The colors of the two fabrics exactly correspond, but the facings must contrast. For instance, a dark or black velvet trein with damask frout has straw- berry liniogs. and a water-green faille and bro- cade combined has facings and linings of cream color. The front breadth of this costume bas thres plainted flounces of eraam-colored ganze arranged baneath a loosoly-draped scarf-apron, edged with a fringe of lilien-of-the-valley. The baaque front 18 buttonsa and piped with 3 double cord. Where the frain of brocade falla back from the front the sides are edged with & vine of the lilies. The tiny sleaves are scraps of gauze concealed by lace and liliea. Reception and visitiog dresses have the polo- Daige shape, and the preference for this very be- coming and graceful styls becomea strongly marked. The fabrics are the richess o, requiring hittle or no trimming. To produce tha fan-train, crinoling three-quarters of a yard deep, or apy stiff material, is plaited like a fan and sewed in the skirt just abovethe train. ‘fha model skirts show these crinoline fans edged with s platioz of Iace or rofiled-edeed mmualin. An importaut featare of thig stylaisthat s trained petticoat is mot required. Among the nice dis- tinctiona of the toilet to be strictly observad this: Gilt galloons and tiers braids are reser for carrisge wear, while steel and silver are worn in the strest, for walking, driving, or visiting; the finest silvor braids and sllver filigree sgrafes and chatelsines are confined to full dress snd othor evening wear. The long drincesse dress is made witboat trimming or overskirt ; the prin- 836 overskirt is mearlv as long as the wnder- irt, which must wmatch the sleeves, snd the front only is trimmed to eorrespond in material with the sleaves. The draping of skirts promiss to be exceedingly frregular and fantastic, with- ont design or pattern. Lepgths of silk withont being out are disposed in diagonal graceful folda from right to left. srranged in loosa p! scart-fashion, shawi-fashion, or env fashion di tated by the artisticakill of the modiste. Faslion concentrates her energies, however, on ona point, for all women ars to appear *‘lengthened swestness long drawn out,” with which nature has nothing whatever to do. Not only are waists to ba excessively long, but skirts and trains correspond. and all drsperies fall slim and lank, yet mot without a certain grace.

Feather fans ars very fashionable. There are phansant festners sod peacocks’ festhers ranged oa tortoise-sbell sticks. Ebony sticks and others of delicately carved violet wood are mounted with white or biack silk, with ostrich festher tips or peacock-feather eyes. Toess are pyinted by hsod with brilliant clust- ers_of flowers, bees, butterflies. and birde. Cariously carved yellow ivory slender sticss are vt with soft creamy ostrich feathers, curling like the fiveat 1ace. Next are the India fans of down plucked from the oatrich's breast; in the centre is perched a brilliant tropical bird. The latest fashion for sleeve-studs is to bave the two initials of the wearer made very heavily and solidly in gold, one lezter to each wrist. —These jotters are mounted ona foot, and withouts background. In fancy trinkets lovely listle parures of violets are now made of purple moth- er-of-pearl, with a tiny crystal in each eentra ; s amall violet forms each earring, and a large one is mounted 84 & pendant.
