MUFFS FOR THE LEGS.
LATEST NOVELTIES IN DRESS AND FASHION AMONG PARISIANS.
The latest models in Paris are more decollete than any fashions for twenty years past, according to the manageress of Lucilo’s, who, in an interview, described the newest style of dresses. They are cut with great depth, not only in front and at the back, but also at the side beneath the arms. Sometimes there is a filmy drapery carried always from the edge of the dress, but this is quite transparent. The effect at a casual glance is that of a dress which has accidentally slipped down to just above the waist and retained by a single thin slip of material negligently over one shoulder. The other arm and the side of the body for three inches below it are left free. Aluffs for the legs are a novel fashion accompanying the unusually long spell of bitterly cold weather still prevailing in Paris. The muffs consist of a silk legging lined with fur which can be drawn on over the light shoe and comes above the knee. It is taken off at the same time as the opera-clbak and left in the cloak-room.
