A pretty gown seen the other day suggested one or two of the main points of the sketched toilette ; ' The skirt was pleated all the way ' round, save just, in the front width, and the pleats were, of course, allowed to flare towards. ' THE EDGE OF THE GARMENT. • The bodice was poviched over an "embroidered vest, the embroidery done in several shades of rose and damask pink, with pearl knots also done by hand in between the arabesques. The way in which the bodice was turned ~i back with an exceedingly narrow rever.was very pretty and most becoming. : It is delightful to get away from the wide lapels now and then, and besides fashion is distinctly leaning towards neatness in thf way in which the new bodices are trimmed. Of detail there may be any amount, but every little stitch must be of consummate delicacy. Cyrano-coloured cloth ■would be a suitable choice. This is neither crimson nor red, but a dull substitute for one of these hues, the name of which was taken from the colour of Cyrano de Bergerac's nose. 1; Mr Wyndham, who is the Cyrano of the translation of Rostand's play produced on -Thursday evening at Wyndham's Theatre, does not Wear his nose <*o assertively crimson as M. Coquelin did when he created the part. Cyrano, therefore, as we understand the hue, is a delicate pink, but the French .edition of this same colour was a somewhat violent claret. A HANDSOME. COSTUME COAT. Surely it is scarcely necessary to point out the divers details that go to make up the essentially charming whole of the pictured model below, ■which we may call an ulster, a coat, or an outdoor costume, according to our fancy. Its development by the home dressmaker would invest a series of wet days with interest and * employment. That the cut of the toilette is Princesse is patent enough, a persuasive touch of originality being, imparted by the shapely curve taken at the left front. Then, to secure that becoming width upon the shoulders with which ■ ' we are all so loth to part, three flat capes are arranged, opening V-wise in front to reveal a vest of Chiny lace, Which is completed by an extra- ,; Vagantly high-pointed collar. The ■latter is a debatable point. I It may be urged that a storm col--1 lar is so completely in harmony with tH^ that it would be outrageous to remove it. But on the other hand, I know from personal experience that , to; some faces and figures this collar T.woiild simply ruin everything1, while : the design would really not lose any essential point of grace by its re- ' ' moval.
