SMARTNESS IN PARIS STYLES

Two Fascinating Dresses Intended for Evening Wear* Have Undeniable t.r’2 ’ Qualities of Chic. From Paris one learns of an evening dress, a delicate mixture of rosecolored souffle de sole and tulle beaded with brown, with which was mingled brown chantilly lace. The corsage, in brown" souffle de tulle, was completed with bretelles consisting of large cabochons of brown glass, and a gold ribbon showed at the decollete.’ From the tunic of very noveLshape hung garlands of brown beads, while the same beads were rolled around the tulle to form little winged sleeves. Another toilette, quite up-to date in its mixture of styles, and also easy to wear, was of apricot taffeta, draped in the manner we see in engravings of the eighteenth century. The corsage was a kind of wide fichu of gauze striped with gold and silver, which was taken round and crossed at the back below the hips. . A corselet of silver threw its. transparence like a broad band around the waist With this toilette the 1878 high coiffure was worn, and in it was a knot of black velvet Above the elbow, at the wrist, and at the neck, was repeated the same black velvet knot. Nothing could be more entirely feminine than these little-details, which are alone sufficient to indicate the refinement of the wearer.
