Those Lovely Cravats.

The cravat is the favorite of the hour, the most distinguished being those of muslin applique with lace, with lace ears standing out over the collar band, and those of spotted silk with fringed ends. The spotted mania still rages as though fashion were desirous of emulating the sun's performance of late in this direction. The six inch spotted ribbons sold to wear as cravats are 45 cents per yard, and as it takes 2 1/4 yards to make one the price is not insignificant when one considers that a number are necessary. This ribbon is folded in the center, passed around the neck, crossed in the back, then brought forward and tied in a four-in-hand bow in front. The long ends descend nearly to the waist. An additional length of the same ribbon is often purchased for a crush belt to wear with this tie; the buckle into which the ends are sewed is of the richest description, gold set with amethysts, turquoises, etc. Striped ribbons and the roman ribbons are also used for these crush belts.--Exchange.
