POINTS FROM PARIS.
"When I was in Paris," says a writer in an English paper, "I found a new novelty in trimming that is fast superseding the pliable leather which is so popular. The new trimming is made of sharkskin. This sea-monster is dyed in a variety of colours, pink, blue, and green being the three most popular. It is then made up into collars and cuffs and belts, and looks very effective when used to trim a black satin dress in this fashion." From a correspondent in Paris these notes arrive:— Some of the new Paris coats are startling and original, inariy are belter], or, rather, strapped at the collar, cuffs and waist. Many beaver coats have crocodile straps with similar belts on the new gauntlet cuffs, and a broader and wider one to confine the fullness of the waist. Some of the belts have "poker" work or insertions worked into them that gives tliem the appearance of embroidery.
