have changed slncothcul Now loom can
not furnish n material rich or costly
enough to satisfy tho woman of today,
nnd so each lady adds gold or sliver,
costly fur or olaborato emhroldery or
other ox pensive decoration to tho gown
or garment tdio wears.
woni'.uNizi:i) Diiti-.cTOiui: costume.
It Is not enough, cither, that tlio gown
should ho costly as her purso can buy,
for now tho wholo otittlt is iimdo to
matidi, from tho knitted silk tmdervcat
to thogown Itself, tho drawers, undcrHltlrt,
coro-Jt, corset cover and otitsldo skirt,
all nro of soft surah silk, tinted to cor
respond with tho dress, and embroidered
and otherwise garnished. Tho stockings
also nro of tho samo prevailing color,
and the gloves, when tho color Is obtain
able. ,
This careful selection of undergar
ments is made moro to wear with tho
dircctoiro styles than with tho others,
aa those require such a close clinging,
graceful drapery. Tho extreme of this
now old style Is seen on tho stage and in
tlio most fashionable throngs, nud they
nro not nlwnya worn with nappy effect.
One lady wore n cream colored cashmere
directum.' dross at a reception which I
recently graced with my pnbonce. It
was made with a perfectly plain skirt,
which was gathered to a belt, from
which it hung in loose folds. There wns
a narrow band of Persian emhroldery nil
around the bottom. Tho waist wns
straight and plain in tlio back and came
up quite hhrh ncross the neck. The
front was gathered on the shoulders nud
brought Mirplice fashion ncross tho
bosom to tho belt, which wns of tho
cashmere. The bIcovch were pnlfed nnd
then tied lu at tho elbows with bands of
ribbon. The waist wna short and quite
round. The general effect of such n
dress i i not pretty, nor Is It graceful, but
it h ulTcctoil by very many of tho voting
ladies who aro supposed to be leuders in
high society, nud tliey tnke on the stage,
juut iih anything does.
1 iircbont one of theso dresses, which
modern tnsto lias made to conform with
the demands of today. This is innde up
of pale pin!: figured alpaca, which is just
now quite u favorite material, with the
front of soft green surah. The sash nnd
hrctellcs areol tho same material, witli a
heavy silk fringe nt the bottom. This is
kilted instead of gathered, and ns n con
sequence i.i rather more graceful for the
average wearer.
A new era has dawned for church
going toilets, and with tho one pardona
ble exception of ICaster Sunday bonnets,
all church gowns nnd other garments
aro in the soberest and severest style.
Tliuro is to be no more rivalry in dress in
church, nor going to that place to ceo
what others wear, nor to display new
toilets. The plainest of black dresses
and unobtrusive bonnets arc the highest
style and the most elegant, lilac!; cash
mere, cloth, drap d'Alma and kindred
goods tire worn, and their lit nud shapo
h mo:it perfect.
There is much dancing going on just
now, nnd lull dresses nro the topic of
conversations among old and young
ladies. The unmarried ladies wear tulle,
tarlatan and thin materials of all kinds.
A young lady, tho daughter of the mayor
of Now York, wore nt u recent ball n
dress of white tarlatan, with a rose
plaiting around the bottom, made of tho
tarlatan cut bias nml pinked out. The
front wits laid in accordion plaits nnd
cut on the bias.
The back wns
very full nnd
simply gathered.
Tho waist was
laid in plaits nud
from shoulder to

nnd n row of
rose plaiting was
around tho neck.

tiiiil onus. An
other very pretty
dress wns worn
by Miss Morosini. who h sister of tlio
young lady whose elopement nnd mnr
rlage to her futhor'a coachman n wldlo
ago made such a sensation. This dress
wns of pink Spanish lace, trimmed with
bows of moire ribbons nnd loonings, nnd
a tuft of feather on the right shoulder.
It would surprise many pcreons to
know that this tarlatan dress which 1
have jtiHt descrilied cost $70, nnd was
considered a very cheap one. when the

In comparison. It is rather hard upon
tho father of four or llvo daughters to
have to 1 my In tho nclghliorhooil of $100
for a hall dress for eacli that will scarcely
outlast a night.
While dresses to dunce to rags como
high, gloves urc fortunately coming
lower,, nud now rench scarcely aliovo tho
elbow. Thin Innovation, however, will
have its enemies as well as friends.
Those who lmvo pretty ellwwa will not
enro if they don't oven cover them, wldlo
tho others will prefer to wear tho long
ones. How much we owe to personal
dofects In tho leaders of fashion for our
styles it would Is hard to say.
Hut, if the signs fall not, tho very low
bodice has had Its day, at least for 11 de
cade or so. Yesterday I saw a dress
which was so very dainty and pretty
that I cannot resist a description of it.
It was of pearl gray caslnnere, tho
waist surplice lu front, with 11 snug belt
of square links of oxidized silver. Tlio
skirt had u very nmplo shawl point
drapery In front nnd a full drapery in
the linck of hood folds. Around tlio not
torn was a baud of silver nnd steel bead
passementerie about three Inches wide.
Tlio sleeves had pull's at the top, and
with this were linen culfs nnd collar.
Tor visiting, poke bonnets nro tho
most worn; but on tho street, for ordi
nary shopping wear or for walking cos
tumes, close bonnets, toques nnd turbans
nro the most seen. Tlio pokes nro most
frequently of pearl gray felt, decorated
with astonishing Ikiws, with plumes,
metal ornaments nud birds. Homo have
one long ostrich feather encircling tho
whole iirlm. liounetH oltcn lmvo a
whole brood of little birds perched upon
tho front, while wings, quills, nnd good
ness known what not else can bo found
without stint. Hvery kind of small bird
la represented.
Tlio toques nud turbans aro mado to
match the wrap or whatever outsido gar
ment is worn, rather than the gown.
Toques for children aro made of cloth,
In red, dark blue or brown, with n bins
fold and bows of velvet, with a quill
feather of gilt or silver stuck through.
They nro between tho Tain O'Shanter
hats and regular turbans In form, nnd
very pretty. Mnny ladles' turbans are
braided in fanciful designs, with gold or
silver soutache to match the costume.
This btylo of braiding is likely to be
come very popular, and it gives a sort
of foreign military appearance that Is
quitcdasliiug nnd gay, but is really more
striking than elegant. Still there nro
many persons to whom such n fashion is

that tho young lady who wears this bus-

Thli was for n newly married lady. It

and gold soutache. 1 have seen it since
copied in cashmeie and plush, and it was
certainly full as lovely. The bonnet,
which matches tliij suit, is of dark
brown plush witiin Low of golden brown
silk, nud with prehistoric nnd extinct
species of birds upon it.
The pretty little dresses that aro now
being displayed in tho windows nro eo
enticing that it gives one the almost ir
resistiblo desire to go oir and kidnap
somebody's littlo girl for tho sake of
having some one to buy such pretty
frocks for. They aro durk red, blue,
gray nnd brown, nil quaint nnd com
fortable nnd childish. The cloaks aro
short waisted, nud braiding, cord nnd

chan form the garniture. One very pretty
little frock is of durk bluo casnincro
witli n band of bluo plush nrouud tho
bottom nnd with n row of beads ntiovo
that. Tho beads nro flat cut garnet.
Tho waibt Is open nnd the arm holes
have points of plush, nnd it is to be worn
over a guimpo of white nainsook.

with nil sorts of fanciful trimmings.
