LINGERIE.

_ In lingerie there is a beautiful novelty in the shape of a long, ecarf-liko flehu of yellow crape, having a crimped eurfr.co, as it the crape had been drawn through a ring and doubly wrinkled. This odd and pretty fabric is plainly hemmed, end above tho hem is a stitching of white floss representing ivy leaves. It is untrimmod, and simply folded in formal folds, and attached above the belt with a knot of wine-colored velvet, fringed with silver thread, and having a stitching of silver thread on its edge. The soft, creamy hue makes this fichu very advantageous to the complexion. A novel cravat, shaped exactly like a gentleman’s, is intended to be worn with a habitshirt. It is of wine-coloured silk, embroidered on the inner piece and crossing pieces with floss silk in a design representing grapes and their leaves and tendrils. Another of similar form in old gold satin is omhroidered with holly berries without leaves. In handkerchiefs, tho transparent French mulle is greatly used for the newest styles, and these are trimmed with fine laco. Drawn work, by some called “ tied work,” is the supreme novelty in handkerchief decoration, while the monogram continues to bo very small and worked in floss silk. Yellow white French lawn is much liked for handkerchiefs.
