Lace balayeuses are added to all handsome dancing dresses. Silver sphinx-head are scen upon new cloak and dress buttons. Peacock-feather brocades, shaded with stl- yer tinsel, are a novelty, Elizabethan paniers, wired over the hips to keép them in shape, are revived. A new dress fabric is a moire and Jace stripe silk in delicate shades of color. Many of the long elegant mid-winter cloaks are lined throughout with mauye-tinted or crimson plush, Lily-of-the-valley fringe laid over frills of white lace is a delicate dress trimming much used upon evening dresses. 4 White ostrich-feather trimming is seen upon a few very superb and costly. Parisian twilets of white satin and velyet brocade. ‘The tuxurious silver-pointed, tiger, and mottled plush trimmings for winter wraps rival those of the most costly fur in popu- ularity. : Gold or silver lace, with rich ornaments to correspond, form the decorations of many elegant Mother Iubbard bonnets of dark admiral blue, rich moss green, or deep bishop’s-purple velvet. decorated with immense red id to be: fashionable. ‘They mnay theless they look very Hashy and vulgar, und make all the pretty girls who wear them look like {Tindoos.

They zre Jined with gold- colored satin subline, and trimmed with broad bands of black ziblinet, sprinkled with liny flecks of gold. ‘ Long rows of Roman pearls are used upon dresses of white surah, satin, or brocade, as a-headmg to rutiles of lace or plaited frills of the dress material. ‘Short pearl sleeves and high Medici traises made of the beads are added to the corsage when this heading is used upon the skirt. A fashionable but inconvenient attachment to a ball dress is a bow of ribbon fastened to. the shoulder a cluster of flowers. The bow itself is composed of many long loops: of irregular lengths, and two ends of the rib- bon. In the rapid evolutions of the dance these flying loops look, like so many silken Jassous. #Exquisitly fine all-wool fabrics in. delicate shades are shown, designed for evening dresses for young girls. ‘The skirts of these materials are to be trimmed with lace, and the bolices to be of plush or satin, matebing the color of the skirt. The Inces used with these dresses are generally white Spanish, rose point, polanza, or Aurillac, ‘The short-pile plush, being found the most durable, is in the greatest favor. It forms a decided feature in all millmery decorations, and a band of it fulled around the edge of a bonnet makes a soft, becoming frame to the face—even the severest features coming un- der its pleasing and subsiding influence. Very pretty walking costumes are made of dark Prussian blue vigogne, the only trim- mung being a wide Moorish scarf of rich Qriental striped silk, which geht under the paniers on cach side, and brought around und tied iu front. Handsome enamelled but- tons, in bright Persian colors to match, fast- en the bodice and the outside coat. A beautiful reception bonnet exhibited on Fourteenth street.is made of black Lyons velvet in the Ferronniere shape. Encircling the crown is a long spray of scarlet eranber- Ties made of shaded satin and chenille, which falls over 2 wreath of silver-trosted Jeaves. On the left side of the crown is perched a bright rubin-redbreast holding a twig of the berries and foliage in his bill. Chenille cloth scarfs for evening wear are made with bewitching little lroods, lined with bright colored surah, which can bedrawnup over the head when pole to party or ball without danger of _disarranging the coiffure. ‘These searfs are finished witha double bor- dering of chenille fringe, and are- made’ in white and colors of pale blue, fawn, ecru, mauve, pink, and biack—the latter being generally chosen by matrous, though lined with scarlet they are becoming to young ladies as well. ‘ Stylish. young ladies. wear very short skirts to their home dresses, chiefly vec: itis the fashion, but also to show their pretty little Charles U. slippers ot black satin. ‘These slippers are exceedingly graceful upon the foot, and are fastened by a single strap, which crosses the instep just below the ankle, and is held by a tiny silver.bnekle set. with Rhenish pebbles. A pair of rich colored cardi ik hose worn with these daint chaussures sets them off with admirable ad- vantage.

SOCIETY HOLIDAY ToOPics. The American Christmas cards excel the imported cards this season, and many of them are framed and presented as separate gifts, -instead of merely accompanying a Christmas present, That this city is rapidly becoming an em- porium for the tine arts, no one of any ob- servation can deny, and at no time has this been more apparent than at present, but to be thoroughly convinced of this t one need only visit some of our representative jewelry houses. {nthis connection we would refer our readers to the store of N, Matson & Co. Here the eyo can feast oii articles of more beauty and virtu than was ever dreamed of by even a Monte Christo. Or this art palace Chicago has every reason to be proud, Not only will one find in N. Matson & Co.'s the latest products of the most skilled artists, but will also find reasonable prices, and, above all, an efticient corps of courteous salesmen, who have an in- terestand pride in the house they represent. dt may ve well to mention that the firm of fatson & @o, is the only houso in the jewelry business who have established the one-price m, which is strictly adhered to, all goods being marked in plain figures.

Lady Wilde, the mother of. the esthete, writes to a friend that the Prince of Wales drops in occasionaily, and she “takes delight i ing him drink tea and smoke cigars with Willie and Oscar.” Itis almost neediess to inform the citizens of Chicago that one of the most magnificent, collections of artistic gems to be found in the West is_ now on exhibition at what may be appropriately termed the home of the beauti- ful—O’Brien’s Art. Emporium, No. 203 Wa- bash avenue. For years it has been regarded as headquarters for the chvicest productions of the ¢: in oil and water colors and the latest novelties pertaining to their embellish- ment; and right royally has it maintained its reputation. The stock of gems suitable for holiday presents is the largest in the eity. A young lady who has an objection to the revision of the New Testament writes to the London Truth to say that the phrase ‘“pur- ple and fine linea ” conveys no idea of lux- ury to her mind,.and she suggests, as an im- provement, “seaiskin and black velvet.” What is most suitable for a holiday pres- ent? Answer: Something that will give i fi iness to the recipient. What can be more appropriate than getting ascholarship in the HH. B. Bryant Chicago Business ‘Coll and English Training School?
