STREET DRESSES.

— The bride, Mrs Gus Coates, was in town the other day in a fawn-coloured biege trimmed ■with brown velvet, with brown velvet bodice laced up the back. It was a handsome dress, and becoming.

— A lady, name unknoAvn, but a Jewess, and handsome, wears a maroon satin trimmed witli old gold satin ; boat-shaped hat with gold rim ; hair worn in a long plait.

— Mrs Macdonnor has a mai'oon cashmere, Avith maroon velvet bodice laced up the back ; the overskirt looped up with maroon cord and tassels ; maroon A'elvet hat to match. Her little girl was in a blue A'elvet jersey costume, Avith blue A r elvet Tarn o' Shanter.

—Miss Burt was in a pretty brown and blue costume, made with brown cape, trimmed with blue fringe; broAvn hat, with long pale blue feather. I cannot resist mentioning that the skirt Avas painfully skimpy. How she managed to walk at all was a mystery. Why will charming girls like Miss Burt make themselves victims to fashion in this manner? The Misses Fenton have maroon serge dresses made with polonaises, and hats to match.
