TAILOR MADE DRESSES.

Having previously asserted on several occasions that the tailor-made woman is like tho imniottil brook, and will go on forever, I need make no excuse for mentioning the latest modes in tailor-made gown?, a costume just completed, made of a black cheviot, with the Direetdlre coat full at the back and cut away on the hips, turning back with revere to show a white cloth vest, stretched to fib to perfection, and made without seams, braided at the neck and at the waist In a fanciful design of black. Thß inevitable covert coating Is used here to make a skirt with strapped seams, and a coat which fastens over the bust with one button, and is sloped away to display a liberal peep at a double* breasted waistcoat, while the back is joined below the waist in a strapped seam, and gored so that it hangs full and yet sete close to the figure. A little Hungarian coat which excited' my special admiration is made of dark blue cloth, braided military fashion down the front and up the seams at the back; this terminates at' the waist, and needs a good figure to exploit its charms to adrantage. A novelty in waistcoats is an Indian patterned cashmere, exactly like the real shawls, and remarkably nice this looks made to fasten invisibly, the pine pattern on the cream ground being specially effective. This offers a pleasing variety from the eternal Tattersall vesting or spotted hopsacka, which have been ruling supreme amongst us now for nearly three seasons.
