A Pretty Dress.

[Clicago Tribune New York Letter.] A product of Havana is a pineapple gauze made solely from the fibres of that delicious fruit. This fabric can with great difficulty be procured pure, though there are numerous imi* tations—some very pretty. The one I refer to is of that delicate tint, a little deeper end richer than cream; it might be called the shadow of fawn or wood color. This is made over a glistening silk of the same shade, and is trimmed with knife plaitings and ribbon loops. A jabot of fine plisses up the front Is further ornamented by ribbon loops of the same tint.
