Tho aioat fashionable princess gowns are a ouubination of blouse and princess. One of the prevailing fashions in f uil dress is tbe wearing of exceedingly long wrinkled sleeves, with low cut or half low bod ices. Prinirose and palé carneo pink crepe de chino is imich used by high class modistes in niaking dancing, debutantes and bridesinaids' toilets. Women of the neutral type should nevor select dense, decided colors for an entire toilet or coatume. Very fair and very dark women can best venture upon such gowns. Some of the long Bernhardt sleeves formed of ohiffon or silk flgured gauze are jnadeover invisible liningsof flne soft net. ïhis gives a bit more of body to the sleeve. Sashes remaln in favor. The softfalling ohiffon scarfs, with long ends edged .with plaited trilling or lace, are largely worn on very smart occasions. On very slender fornis these are carried twice around the waist. All sorta of long pelisses, redingotes, ulsters, camisards, polonaises, etc, will prevail amoug the variety of wraps next spring. The short, fancy, open jackets, and the "moujik," or Bussian, blouses will not be wholly abandoned. Striking dyes in roman and russian red are given a still more vivid effect by the association with them of black jetted nets, elabórate and intricate jet ornaments for bodice and skirt, and blaok laces and insertions of rare delioacy and beauty. Gray and green and black havo been highly favored colors for seasons past, and aow blue is making a bid for marked furor nest season. Blue in many tones and semitones will appear among every style of plain or fancy dress goods and jacketings. Some of the most stylish long coats of the season are made of cloth, repped silk and fur. Many of these, in the various new shades of winter sky gray and the much paler "f rost" tints, are, as a rule, more becomini; than the long familiar swallow, nickel, aluminium or sand gray dyes.-
