THE YELLOW WAISTCOAT.
In the Avenue dv Bois the majority of the black or blue jackets opened over yellow or orange waistcoats. There was nothing glaring in these becoming gilets in straw-coloured silk, dull orange sponge material, light copper-tinted poplin, moire, or peau Jf soie. The dressmakers (says the Gentlewoman) group all these shades many others) under the general term jaune (yellow). This nomination is all the more excusable when onft realises how subdued all these hues are. Seen in different lights, they appear undeniably yellow, from the most subdued to the brightest. Certain waistcoats have a rolled Directoire collar, and button from the waist to the bust, leaving the upper portion over a kilting of Alencon, Valines, or Valenciennes.
