PARIS FANCIES

CONCERNING BLACK DRESSES.

Every woman who haspretty shoulders and good arms is delighted with tho fashion of to-day, which permits her to show them, says a Parisian correspondent. You will rarely see a long sleeve, unless' for day-wear. The transformation of the black satin or velvet evening dress is made by taking out the short sleeves that were worn a. few months ago, cutting away the top of tho shoulder, and attaching back and front ■with v, double shoulder strap of either )>!up cvboehons inserted in diamond chains,'or jet in .large squares with narrow strings of black beads. With either of these arrangements the same idea, is carried "out in a loose band worn below the waist.

Another style of black dress—seen at the Theatre Femina. during the Russian performances—is a graceful draping of the scarf-train, which has lost none of its charm. The drawing is interesting to show the line- of the present day, with a novel decolletage, made with a band of silver lace studded with jet, drawn round tho...shouldcrs. To relieve these simple dresses s-ome women are adopting tho narrow Russian green and gold embroidered band low upon the forehead, encircling the hair.
