THE SOUTHERN WORLD, NOVEMBER 1,1882. 11 @lfc jgawselfold. Prepared lor The Southern World.] Hints Abont Fashion. Mahogany-red gloves are much worn. Cords and tassels will be extensively used on Winter cloaks. Royal cardinal is the favorite color for children’s dresses. Fur trimming for ladles’ dresses is the con fection of the season. Plain linen collars and cuffs are worn with tailor-made cloth dresses. Fur beavers will continue the first choice for misses during the winter. Basques of terra-cotta cashmere are much worn over black velvet skirts. Long, plainly-made redingotes, trimmed with braiding, are in high favor. Leather lace with leaves of leather on twine ficelle lace is a novelty for trimming bonnets. Braiding and embroidery are plentifully used this season, both for everything in the way of dress and home ornament. Feathers are the trimming of the season. Ostrich fertbers come first, of course, but they are rarely used alone, a great bird, or a- fancy breast, or the feathers of a Spanish cock being added. Braid and cord are the favorite trimmings for walking suits, and ball buttons continue in vogue. There is an effort to bring large buttons back into fashion, and many medium sized flat buttons will be used. Terra-cotta r .is to be the leading shade of the season. The darker shades of this are be coming, the lighter are hazardous, very few complexions being clear enough to bear the ordeal of a color which mingles red, brown and yellow in one trying conglomeration. Parisian costumes are still made with ex ceedingly full drapings and puffy panniers, yet there are a few attractive models, allow ing a plain skirt laid from belt to hem in flat, perpendicular plaits or kilts, with no trimming beyond a plain scarf drapid lightly over the hips and simply tied behind in the form of a sash. The new ornaments are handsomer than ever. The whole army of insects and rep tiles, bugs, beetles, dragon flies, serpents and lizards, crabs, owlheads, dogs, etc., are still in the field, and in addition to these there are many elegant brooches and buckles in cut steel, oxidized silver, irridescent iuetal and bronze. Jackets and basques of every description and color are worn over skirts of a contrast ing material. The shapes are varied, and are in styles suitable to every age. They are severally known as the Austrian, the Hum garian, the Directoire, and the Jersey. They are invariably close fitting, are cut with a narrow collar, and button straight down the front. Ottoman silks and satins are the latest idea. These are both plain and brocaded the newest Parisian novelty being large spots, as a fifty cent piece, in either satin or plush and far enough apart to show the richly rep ped surface between. Velours have a smaller cord than the Ottomans, yet larger than the gros grains, and they also figure among the rich goods of the season. Some of the new hats resemble a great ball of downy feathers, into which the wearer’; head has been suddenly thrust, leaving the soft down to settle among the waves and frizzes of the forehead, lending to the ap pearance a coquettish air, that, to youthful faces, is strangely becoming and wonderfully fascinating. Frequently a downy chick peeps out from one side, and seems to be whispering in the ear of its owner. As to general outlines in the world of fashion, the coiffure is still arranged in severe simplicity, close to the head, and with no false switches where there is even a pas sable amount of one’s natural tresses. The shoulders are nigh and square, the bodice is cut round, pointed, or in long basques, as one likes best, and very often is open below the tliroata la pompadour, with a chemisette Russe set underneath, and not low in the neck all around, even with full dress toilets, Waists, sleeves, at.d shoes are all uncomfort ably tight if the wearer will allow it. The most fashionable shoes, spite of the protesta tions of the doctors and the teachings of the boot makers, have the heels little and high and the toes pointed. Skirts to dresses are either perfectly plain, with a treble-pleated ruche around the bottom, or are loaded down with volumnioua poufs, pleats, kilts, or Chicorie trimmings in a variety of styles. Colors are unusually brilliant, and the wild est caprice is poticeable in the manner in which these gay hues are combined both in dress and millinery. Common Ncnse Hints. Seeds and grass will not grow in garden walks made of coal ashes. Leaves of parsley, eaten with a little vine gar, will prevent the disagreeable conse quences of tainted breath by onions. Cover the floor with the cheapest cotton cloth, tacking securely. Paper this with wall paper, some pretty carpet pattern. When dry give it two coats of varnish. With reasonable usage it will last two years. If you wish to clean your spice-mill, you will find that by grinding a handful of raw rice through it this can be accomplished. The particles of spice and pepper or of coffee will not adhere to it after this rice is ground through it. Powdered starch is an excellent preventa tive of chapping of the hands, when it is rub bed over them after washing and drying thoroughly. It will also prevent the needle in sewing from sticking and becoming rusty. It is therefore advisable to have a small box or basket of it near your wash basin. It may not be known to every housekeeper that a sure way to prevent eggs from crack ing while boiling is to insert the point of a pin through the shell at one end. It must be remarked that this puncture must be only through the shell, and must not break the skin beneath. An Impolite Hnbit. Some people do not appear to be aware of the fact that it is exceedingly rude to con verse in company, on subjects or about things of which there is one person present who knows nothing. They may become deeply interested among themselves, and the time glides away yery pleasantly, but this one person is left entirely out in the cold. She or he is not at all interested in all their talking, and not being familiar with the topic, cannot take part in the conversation. Everybody should guard very carefully against such impoliteness, and when it is discovered that the topic advanced is not familiar to all present, it should be banished at once; or, if it is something that can be easily introduced, then the ignorant one should be acquainted with all the facts.
