Some Lovely Evening Frocks.

All shades of yellow are worn for evening gowns. It is a great mistake to imagine that yellow belongs to dark women alone, the greenish shades of lime and lemon-yellow, together with old gold, are certainly the privilege of the brunette; but the pinky apricot, bright orange, and canary yellow can be worn by golden blondes. The beautiful Empress Eugenie, who owed her ruddy locks to her Scottish origin, was particularly fond of canary colour and maize for evening wear. Evening dresses are, made in the Prineesse shape, with a touch of drapery which lends grace and

modesty to the statue gown*. Some are purely Greek in style, and Oriental shawls with deep fringes are being used by the dressmakers in their construction. Dancing frocks for girls and young women are receiving a great-de la of attention just now. They are dancing length, which means short, very fluffy and bcfrilled. One recently seen of spider-web net of the most gossamer texture, trimmed with flashes of salmon pink just showing at intervals under the net. which was of the truest orange hue. Lit up by the sparkle of paste buttons, this dress was the most original creation that woman’s heart could wish for.-
