Some one has sald that women never can amount to anything in any other direction so long as they continue to be absorbed, or rather carried hither and thither by the eternal changes and requirements of theirdress. And this is undoubtedly broadly true. Dress to wo- men is a perpetual obstacle; an always begin- bing and never ending source of worry, trouble and apxlety. Itis even more ofa difficulty to the unfashionable than to the fashionable wo- mab, for the latter 1s presumably able to give her orders to persons who are able to execute them, and her responsibility in the case, there- fore, is very slight, as she usually depe ads more ‘upon the taste and knowledge of other persons ab upon her own. The absorbing perplexity ayer the subject is principally felt. by women or the middle classes; the wives and daughters of professional and tolerably well-to-do busines3 men, Whose education has cultivated natural taste Into a love and appreciation of the best things whose position gives them standing in their own ttle world of socte y, and whose are sometimes more limited than those s Who Work in a shop, ora factory, and ambition {s limited to the ribbon for a or a new dress for tie walk out on Sun- Many have almost no income watch can be devoted to dress. Their resources for thts purpose are derived from a dollar squeezed out luere abd anotber out there. But as for being abie to make @ settled calculation, upon a basis of just somuch for the wardrobe of themselves, individually, or for the famlly, it never enters heir mt They never have had tt, and do not expect it. ‘yhese are the women who often dress, as it 13 calcd, “genteelly;” how? is a mystery to themselves and ther irlends, These are the women who agonize over every change and every recurring fashion, because their mata- tenance of a certain style and refinement of appearance, separates them from a lower class, who really have the command of more money, and preserve a self-respect which would be lost without some basis upon which to rest. The amount of calculation, of good judgment, of serious thought, of time, of industry, which has been expended by such women, upoa the old clothes of themseives and others, would have dressed the whole world tn cloth of gold, if it had been expended in more profitable direc- Uons. There is no saying, however, how muca this effort on the part of Women has tended to develop and preserve the decencies — the morailities of familly and social lite hat so many of them have wore themselves thread- bare over their thread-bare garments 13 their nusforture rather than their fault. ECONOMY AT A DISCOUNT. Tint this sort of economy ts at a discount, now- a-days. The world fs fullof vuying and sell- ing,—of beautiful things which can be had for money,—ot !deas which come out so rapldly that they tumble over each other and are lost almost before we have time to seize them. Mending is not an economy,when it takes more Ume than toearn the money to replace the garment; making over has superseded it. but even this isa waste of force. Still better for the truly economical is a dress which suits its purpose, and is worn until It can be replaced by a Lew one. It is appalling to think of the amount of precious time which might be used in getting fresh alr, in hearing music, in read- ing books, In seelng plecures, in enjoying tae society of one’s friends, consumed fa ripplag, pr taking out the stitches In one place, and purting them tn another,—ratsing a skirt higher, or “making it lower,—taking off one trimming and putting on another, nether worth the money they cost, nor the Unie and brains spent upon them, BEAUTIFUL DR There are plenty of ials by which to ess beautifully, and they ave constantly in- in bumber. The Waves upon waves of misty plaited lace; the depth of rich fabrics; the blending of lovely color; the marvellous skill exhibited even by artisans in the produc- ton of What constitutes mere elements in mod- ern clothing, makes one almost faint sometimes with Meer re for possession, just as we would etre, a book, or a mosaic which the best in human thought and ente ression, This, it 1s true, exists for us, if we can see it and appreciate It, whether we can ap- propriate it or pot. But why not have it, tnsome dezree, for our very own? At least, If we can- not, let us not throw ourselves away on what is unworthy, even in dress. Let us work towards it, getting one thing which is permanently geod, and by and by this will bring another. We can work to get, as well as work to save, for saving is not always having. and those who spend are sometimes the only ones who have. The world is not growing more economical; itis growing more extravagant every day. ' Our labor-saving machinery 18 not money-saving machinery; it 1s money-spending machinery, and. to have money to spend, money must be earied. Tne bare walls, the slow methods, the crude results of a hundred years ago, would not now be tolerated; but the added luxury, the genius which has been put into the looms which weuve our Carpets, into the adornings of our walis, into the articles of beauty and conve- nie: ce which are used for the comfort and orna- mental finish of our houses, are not cheap in tbe sense of lessening expenditure, and must either be put out of life and thought altogether or cur lives and efforts must be graded up to meet the snew emergencies. All this requires an adaptation of dress as well as of faculties. Like men, the majority of women now require but two costumes, one for service and the other for society wear—one ot woclen cloth, plain, neat, compact, unobtru- sive, comfortable; the other beautiful, accord- lng to the taste and tdeas of the wearer. Tie latter may be beautiful. light and delicate; or beautiful dark and heavy. All beauty is not alike, nor are all ideas of it alike, and the dif- ference creates an agreeable diversity. But one Woman does not want to dress herself in all other women’s beautiful garments; let her be conjent with herown. Beautiful dress means much more to-day than it did fifty years ago— it means a knowledge of form, of color, of har- mony; in brief, of art, as well as acquaintance with Industries and thetr progress. For to know low to choose fabrics one must be able to judge of them, of their quality, their style and con- struction. To know how to choose designs one must be able to subject them to the test of true principles in art, else we shall flnd our struct- ural details, the architecture of our dress, so to speak, all at fault, and it is this which many persons do discover without being able to find Ube exact cause or suggest a remedy. Indeed, to know how to dress specially, one must study the subject universally; in this way flue dre3s- ing is elevated with an art—it becomes an edu- cator, and the woman who has jearned to dress ners 1s competent to teach the rest of the world. NOVELTIES AND ECCENTRICITIES, We hear constantly of eccentricities in dress which are called fashionable, but which no one ever sees, and which have no more right to be classed among the constituent parts of the ordi- nary wardrobe of a woman than the occasional fancy for a bright red neck-tle or an extraordi- nary Scotch platd in his trousers should be set down as characteristic of all men. One import ed dress, for example, has a trimming of em- broidered pine a} ple gauze, which is count up all over with re umming birds and flowers made of scarlet eaters, Dat there 1s not likely to be more than one such dress among the many thousands made during the entire season. An- other is a reception dress of Scrabee velvet, crossed upon the sboulders with bands of white satin antique (which ts a fine sort of satin plush) and spotted to exactly resemble leopard skin. A band of this leopard skin trimming borders the train and is ee iu an upr! ne sue ‘pon the front of An am) with a long plain tralia, ts orna- Rented with bands of hand-pointed white satin edged with narrow flat gold trimming, in which is a wire that bends it to posi- tion and forms a cord. This Is used addition- ally for the new Medici, and Regence ruffs, which are three or four rows deep and set out from the beck, in the style of Catherine de Medt- cis, rather Elizabeth of England. New sec tor indoor wear are of white coi with Sepia tions of birds in relief, the raised effect ing obtained from a stuffing of cotton. This about as absurd a caprice as it is possible to conceive and one that. few ladies are likely to follow. The blaze of gold and high color, when massed together in some of the imported fabrics and costumes, is such as to startle and bewlider one. Orientalism pales before it, but the arti- cles distributed over an entire continent make very littie impression, and the majority of wo- men, even among the wealthy and luxuriant clasges, will continue to dress quietly, and leave Zulutsm to those who know no better. A novel walking dress which is not eccentric, is of dark wine-coloied silk with two side pieces of sain of the same shade descending from the almost to the hem of the skirt, and ex- tendibe back over the hips, where a curve be- that forms an encircling of the whole feure, arching in such a way as to give immense flaps on each side, while they make a basque in the contour. These flaps are but a quarter of a yard wide at the termination of their fail, andayard and a half in the encircling of the hips. A very broad garniture of cream-colored satin, four tuches in width, at least, encircles the fia) The sleeves have a Louls seize rut- fling of lace, beyond a fluted rufile of silk, and a ‘Dapd of the satin; medium-sized buttons cov- ered with the satin garnish the waist and cuffs. cullarity of this dress is that the satin. inlesd of Stopping, iedegns the wide division of the flaps occurs, at the runs up half the length ot the back with 2 hovel ef effec! jets ich is in ap- sates ea bg gee Pearance, ate Her oe profusely emt oe rb slouees, alterna’ Moat being is clusters of cet pei the mine ones not more than one-eighth of a yard wide. ‘The “marron” for those who can venture ae it, 1s the most striking of late innovations fol street or carriage wear, and to some not un becoming. It consists of a high and wide frout, cietoent-ah and 1s probably mod- formed @m important Bert of” a brides trousseau in the time of Louts XV. Beyond the raised rent isa rufile of wide fluted lace, so arrapged as to flare a quarter of an inch fur- ther than the front. Tiis ruftie extends to a barrow back, which passes under the hair. Here again ts a second upright and —— rat. fie of nuted lace, which encircles the hair and decorates it. Between this second rani the first is a narrow strip of velvet, ng close to the head. The whole effect of the “marron” depends upon the boldness of the ‘are of the futed lace and the correctness of the distance at which the raised front {s set from the tlumily curled front hair. At the back the hair must necessarily be high for this colf- fure and in puffs. A pending loop and eads of the same velvet as the front garalshes the back. On the left side Is a single flower with- out follage laid flat against the lace. Tats bon- net should only be worn by tall persors, The “chocelatiere” 18a simple imitation of a peasanv’s cap. It 1s a hat with four indeata Uons—one above the forehead. two over the ears and another at the back. The effects of loosely curling hair under these depressions, or massed low at the back, Is very good. Tue crown Is of the round cap style, the trimming a broad ribbon, edged witn lace on both sides, to form a narrow ruflie. The ornaments are a buckle and smail curied feather. Instead of the ribbon, which should be piaid or striped, a broad flat band of feathers may be worn. ‘Tae “feather” bonnet Is the natural successor of the flower bonnet, and {s really beautiful. The finest are made of the golden feathers, taken from the necks of Turpeyan pheasants, a dia d closely one over another. Tne oraamenis ‘haps, humming birds, or butterties les,” Very soft and lovely bonnets are mv of small natural ostrich Ups, and the pretites ornaments for these are Engitsh starlings Among the novel totiette accessories are od t looking pins, formed of the heads of simaii alligators, dried and polished, and seh with diamond eyes. They are also used as pead its to coilars of flextble gold, which eucircie the throat, and on which is the name of the Mas- dalena river, from which they were taken. A more beautiful ornament for the hair is the real dragoon fly from Peru, moun ed es gold wire in such a way as to extend tts wings and body to their utmost iengih as well as silstala them. Scarlet and black butterilieg for the hair are charming ornaments for brunettes.and there are necklaces of South American beetles, larger and Jmore brilliant than any which have pre- em, and set in double rows without pendants, Asa contribution to Jeweiled orna- ments, the Indians of South America have this season contributed some charming afgrettes, which would do credit to artisis in gems. Tae design 1s an imitation of a star-like wild Howe: for ft has radiating points which are beautitt ly wrought of diamonds and pearls, intermin- gied with native Peruvian gold, wrought tato Toliage of various shades. A few closed buds are formed of pearls,and a back ground ls some- Umes formed of a small white feather, gold Upped. Of course, it can only be worn upon hair dressed high and by a tajl person. With these aigrettes come very pretty luce pins, made by the same hands, and which consist of oars of native gold, wrought into Mlag: and mount- ed with flowers in different shades of yellow and greenish gold. As a successor to the little silk cap, or turban, we have ano al head dress, consisting of a broad fold o’ rich bro- caded stuff embroidered with goid thread, and twisted into a sort of wrinkled, upright band, which 1s supposed to be Eastera in Its effect. Stull more gorgeous affairs consist of strauzhi bands of red or yellow satin, or brocaded stuff, from the lower edge of which descend rows of real oriental coins, or doubie rows of fringe made of fine gold thread. The halr with these headdresses is brought so low over the fore- head as to meet the €yebrows, and the pendent ee es fall upon it lastead upon tue fore- Cloth fashions and tatlor suits In strong con- trast with these striking and what are called brilliant novelties, are the recent desigas in cloth and what are called “talior suits” for ladies. These, of course, are for out door wear exclusively, and are copted from Londog styles where west end tailors have long made d specialty, and where, also, there are fash nion- able houses devoted exclusively to cloth sults, coats, jackets, ulsters and riding or driving co3- tumes. The great and meritorious features of tallor ‘sults for ladles consist, first of the ser- viceable character of the material, the perfec- tion of the cut, the excelience of the workman- ship and the absence of superiluous patcnlag and trimming. If, in order to meet, as they suppose, a wider demand, they should rel quish thelr traditions, resort to cut up and fanciful trimmings, tailor sults would lose their distinction at once and fall back into obscurity. 13, ibility is suggested by some slight evidences of braiding and troggtng and shamming, in some of the recent so-calle coats and fancy jackets issued from good “tal- lor” houses. It Seems such a pity that nothing can be kept pure and distinettve; that every- thing must be smeared over with some sort of wretched attempt at ornamentation, until good, bad and iudifferent all secis tO use a vulgar pares “to have been cuvoked in the same pot.” A good tallor made redingst, or What Is called “great coat,” is of gray or mas- tic beaver, light, but warm, Cut dowb'e-1 -breasted, with side’ pockets and two capes, or three col lars, one of which forms a small cape. Another sty) 1e dispenses with the capes and triple collar, aud ee coilar and cuffs of real or imitation fur. A rich imitation seal skin used for this purpose 1s handsomer than the real article. There are several styles of taflors made suits, Oue Js a short princesse dress made w.th kitted skirt, the killing inserted as a flounce at the back, as panels upon the side and tabliler tn front, and double-breasted jacket. cut medium length, and with a rolling (Engilsh) collar. Another design consists of a trimmed skirt, the front laid in smooth, straight folds, above a plaited flounce, and the back very slightly draped. The basque fs a cuirass with pockets, ard with, or without asimulated vest. A jacket accompanies this suit, also, or a double cape. The felt walking hats,or cloth caps, to wear with these dresses are finished with bands of ribbed galoon, and are quite a3 plain as those of geutiemen, only they have some times a heron’s wing or the breast of a sea gull added for orna- ment. Plain linen collar and cuffs, with a dark Ted, or small Scotch meck-ile are worn with these cloth dresses, the entire outfit being as neat, trim, and compactas possible. Tne skirts are invariably cut short, that is, walking length. UNDERWEAR AND LINGERIE. It would seem that all that luxury could de- vise had long since been exhausted upon under- wear and its delicate and dainty relation, lin- gerie. But, somehow, every fresh device seems to possess a fascination of Its own, and has a cullar charm for women whose tastes have en refined up to the eet of minute appre- ciation. The beautiful formsof beautiful women must certainly be entrancing in the well-shaped garments of fine waite linen and soft creamy silk, which are now made with such admirable art ‘and precision, and to which wave upon wave of lace, or finest needle-work, give added softness and beauty. The forms are the low square, the high round, called shape Is rounded in front, but comes up over the shoulder, and the “classic,” which enfolds the bust but holds the arm bya mere thread, to which is attached a rim of lace. Yokes of night dresses and the body of the chemise to the waist is sometimes a meré mass of lace tn- sertions and puffing, with a ruching en cascade around the neck, round the arm, and down the front, in which small ornamental ends or bows of ribbon are inserted, more or less or not at all. according to the taste of the wearer. Some dies dislike color upon thelr underwear and preter to fasten their underwear garments with small jewelled buttons. Silk under- vests and drawers for cold weather are con- sidered indispensable by such ladies as con- sider them necessary at all. The scarlet are preferred and are, indeed, lovely wear. Ly ‘he drawers are, of course, made very short, aud are sup pines by others of cream- colored silk with lace ruffles. Some ladie3 are, however, having this silk made up in the com- bination’styles, which gives drawers, chemise and corset cover all in one, and thus saves the gathering about the waist and supernumerary [olay The straight, high-necked shape of the “combination,” when it first appeared, pre- vented it from becoming popular among fash- fonable women, but it is now very much im- proved. It 1s well cut into the form, the boddice Shaped, if required, into a pretty, low square, and the sleeves left out, or made long or short, at the option of the wearer. For cold climates and for those who cannot afford the extreme refinements of fashion, or whose plain dress renders them unsuitable, the “combination” underwear of knitted merino 1s an enormous improvement on the old-fashioned long vest and wers. Its shape is now all that can be desired. It is gr: only made in certain qualities, so that an inferior article of the kind is not to be had, though there are degrees of quality and dif- ference of prices. In lingerie, the pretttest things are the mati- nee sacques, composed of strips of soft India brocade, alternating with antique lece tnser- tion from an inch to an inch and a quarter in width and lined with a color. The borderin, of antique lace and two narrow standing es, of the same finish the neck. In front is a bow of satin ribbon of the same shade as the silk or satin which lines the insertion,—crimson, gar- net or bronze, and the ends of this reach to the bottom of the sacque.
