The Coming Ball Costume
A paris fashion letter says a favourite dress cat fancy-dress balls this winter will undoubtedly be the blade costume— a lownecked a*nd sleeveless corsage and tunic in gold yellow satin, cut in one, in the princes style. The latter is looped over a short underskirt in black velvet, and is bordered with a row of little figures of Napoleon cut out of black velvet. On the left side of the corsage is placed a large stuffed black cat, the tail curving over the wearer's shoulder, while the outstretched forelegs of the apimal claw up one side of the overskirt. Long black gloves reaching above the elbow, gold-yellow silk stockings, and black satin slippers complete the toilet.
