LONDON AND PARISIAN.
Cording will replace tucks entirely. It is a welcome change, and more becoming on a bodice than the deep horizontal tucks to which we have been accustomed lately. Among the milliners' ready-made accessoiies are the neat rosettes of erin gauze that drapers are showing. This erin gauze may also he had by the yard in all tlie most wonderful shades. It looks particularly well in rich green, sapphire blue, lettuce colour, and a deep dahlia pink. The pleasantest and the prettiest knickers for cycling or walking are made of shot silk lustre, which is light and soft, and over which the skirt runs smoothly. The present fashion for braiding opens up avenues of artistic possibility and fancy both to modistes and their fair customers. Braids are specially designed for applique' purposes in all tints and combinations. The prettiest have wavy edges, and are woven in a combination of some pale neutral tint, such as ivory, dove colour, putty colour, mouse colour, or black with gold.
