THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAFH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1871.
THE LATEST FASHION
Ilarper't Bazar gives th; f 0llowing infor
mation in regard to 't"ne latest fashionable
ideas:
DERLIN WOOL.
The fancy for garments of fine Berlin wool
increases in this country. Almost every fur
nishing store has a department stocked with
these useful articles, and each season there
are novelties introduced from abroad, where
knitting and crocheting ar brought to per
fection. The zephyr wool prparod in Ber
lin is softer and finer than uuy other, aad the
colors are better. Retail dealers ask 20 cents
an ounce for quiet, dark colors of either split,
single, or double zephyr; and 25 cents for
high, brilliant colors.
KNITTED OARMENTS.
The perfection of under-wear for infants is
shown in soft warm shirts of purest white
zephyr wool, knitted in a ribbed pattern, th'e
neck and sleeves scolloped and overcast with
white silk floss; these cost from 75 cents to
$1. Infants' socks of white zephyr have the
tops turned over in Zouave fashion; others,
knit double, are thick and warm, 75 cents.
Little carriage bootees, to be worn without a
shoe, or else over the shoe, are long enough
to reach to the knee, and are held up by a
drawing-string that .forms a tasseled garter.
These are in all colors, or in white, and may
be had in three sizes, costing 75 or 85
cents. A little sock embroidered with silk
is called the daisy shoe; and the loveliest
slippers for baby, are crotcheted in Marie
Antoinette shape, of blue, scarlet, or white
wool, with silken bows and tassels: price $2.
The bonnet for baby girls is the fairy hood,
with a warm head piece of double knitted
Berlin wool, veiled with a fanciful cover of
split zephyr overwrought with silk of palest
blue or rose: $2. For larger babes are little
cape bonnets made of Angora wool, with long,
soft fleece, like fur. They are in blue and
rose, bordered with snowy swan's-down.
Trice $5. For tiniest boys is a cunning little
turban dignified as the Prussian cap. It has
a border of loops above the forehead, warm
ear-tabs, and a sort of cape to protect the
back of the neck. Imported mittens of white
zephyr shaped to the wrist, tiny bows of rib
bon on the back, and a gauntlet flecked
with white floss, are warm and soft enough
for the baby fists they will enclose; price 45
cents. Very pretty cloak 3 for infants consist
of two large capes formed of white zephyr
in shell stitch, overcast with floss and edged
with fringe: these are $8. Ilandsome afghans
for baby s carriage have four Roman red
stripes, or blue or buff, with five narrower
stripes of white tufted with black. At the
upper end that passes over baby's lap each
stripe forms a point that is finished with a
tassel; price $7. Afghans marked $10 have
three broad stripes, the outer ones colored,
the centre white, and richly embroidered
with a vine of roses. A smaller size ef simi
lar design is Those in blocks of a color
alternating with white, and each block
embroidered with daisies, cost from $11 to
$14.
Drawers of white or scarlet zephyr with
leggings strapped beneath the shoe, or with
socks to wear over the shoe, are heavily knit,
and are comfortable for children who are car
ried out in the nurses' arms or drawn about
in their open carriages. These are in three
sizes for children from one to three years old,
and cost from $ 125 to $1'75, For larger
children there are plain knitted drawers with
out gaiters, to be worn over muslin drawers
on cold days: $175 to $2. The prettiest
gaiters for very young children are the polka
gaiters of single zephyr, either white or
chinchilla, with a colored border up the out
side representing buttons and button-holes;
75 cents to $1. Fine leggings of scarlet,
blue, or grey wool are shaped to fit over the
knee, and thus prevent wrinkles; $1 to $125.
Heavier brown or grey gaiters for children
and for ladies are knit of American tapestry
worsted. Ladies and misses wear these when
travelling in extremely cold weather, or driv-.
ing, or sleighing; but they are too clumsy for
walking. Ladies' Bizes are $150; misses',
from 75 cents to $125.
Ladies' breakfast shawls are crocheted in
Afghan stitch, with a seam down the back
joiniBg the two pieces to form a comfortable
three-cornered wrap. The centre of the
shawl is of solid oolor, scarlet, blue, chin
chilla, purple, or black, with a broad border
embroidered around it in darker shades of
the same oolor, or in a gay contrast, as gray
with scarlet or blue borders, blue with white,
and purple with black for mourning. A
fringe of the wool finishes the edge. Price
$6. Shawls with the colored borders merely
crocheted, instead of embroidered, are $5.
In lieu of the sontags formerly worn under
cloaks and in the house, there are sleeveless
jackets crocheted in beautiful shapes falling
in with the figure. Blue or red jackets with
chinchilla borders are most popular. These
are $250 each. Heavier jackets with sleeves
are $5. lievers, pocket flaps, and broad
cuffs of a bright color are crocheted on chin
chilla jackets. The fine knitted Cardigan
j'ackets imported from England are shaped
ike shorted polka basques or with postillions.
Those in fine ribs and in dark rich colors
cost from $6 to $12. Novelties for
chileren are sacques and muffs ef
fleecy Angora wool knitted in long
loop stitches that imitate admirably the
Astrakhan and Iceland lamb furs. They are
shown in white and scarlet. The set costs
$8 or $10. A dressy little jacket for children
is called the epaulet jacket. The body of the
garment is of white or chinchilla wool in
Afghan stitsh, while the collar, epaulets, and
border are of shaded blue or crimson. The
back is slashed to the waist, and a oord and
tassels draw it to the figure at the waist.
They cost from $2 to $3. The prettiest
sacques for babies are knitted basques of
white zephyr shaped to cling to wee, plump
figures too cunning for anything, the mam
mas say: $2 '75 is the -prioe asked for sizes
for children under three years of age.
The prettiest evening hood for ladies to
wear to parties is the Milsson, described last
week. It is quite warm, yet too soft and
light to disarrange elaborately dressed hair.
From $1-75 to $2. The heavy Alaska hood
for old ladies and for travelling has a chin
chilla centre, with wide turned-over fold in
front of scarlet or blue or purple; price $2.
Fanciful little tippets and boas of zephyr
are crocheted for children. Pretty scarfs in
shell stitch, white, with pink or blue centres,
are for little girls; also zephyr neckties
knitted double and round like a boa. Victo
line capes, with muffs to match, are made
with blue or scarlet grounds, almost hidden
beneath tiny white balls of fleeoy wool that
are thrown on the Burface. These cost from
3 to f 5 per set, and are as warm as the
light qualities of fur. Heavy warm Boarfa
for boys are $1' 75. Gentlemen wear chin
chilla scarfs with embroidered borders in dark
purple and crimson Bhades. The hand
somest are a yard aud a half long, aud cost $5.
EMBROIDER.
The wool embroidery on canvas, in which
our grandmothers excelled, is the fashionuble
employment for dainty finger at t li present
tin-). - U id ut lvu&s.i Lu itttt iv Uaiv
stereotyped pets of furniture, each piece in a
room the counterpart of that next it, but,
instead, variety is preferred, with soarcely
any two articles alike, ladies of taste and in
genuity employ their leisure in embroider
ing covers for different articles. An odd
chair, a lounge, sofa cushions, rugs, foot
stools, a table or piano cover, embroidered
by the lady of the house, is to be found in
almoBt every home. To complete the stripes
for the back of a folding chair, and an elabo
rate piece for the seat, seems to be the ambi
tion of almost every young lady. During
the holidays these chairs and camp-stools
were the favorite gift to bachelor brothers,
friends, and lovers. Some were ornamented
with heads of animals, hunting scenes, or
battle pieces, while for smokers, cigars, pipes,
and tobacco jars were wrought on the canvas.
The back of the chair is usually three stripes,
a different vine of flowers in each, or else the
monogram of the owner is in the centre, with
a wreath of foliage around it.
Most of this work, that looks so difficult, is
very easy, as the complicated shading, and,
indeed, all the intricate design, is done by
experts before it is offeied for sale. The
lady who purchases it merely fills out the
background by simple cross stitches of wool
of a single color. Fancifully shaped catch
alls, or wall-pockets, for letters and other
small articles, are made of black walnut, and
have an embroidered piece in front: brackets
for vases and stationery are draped with
needle-worked cloth; chamber racks for hats or
an overcoat are embroidered in the centre,
back of the pegs; willow baskets are orna
mented in the same way; the backs of hair
brushes, straps for a travelling shawl or water
proof, small picture . frames, tiny easels, tra
velling satchels, and a multitude of such small
articles are decorated with this gay work.
Perforated morocco and perforated board,
either tinsel or silver, are used for making
many pretty toilette articles, and embroidered
in bright colors. There are cornucopias for
Bhaving papers, tapers, or loose hair; match
safes, photograph frames, ind boxes for
mouchoirs and gloves. The holes in this
board are very large, hence the designs are
easily wrought, and the labor is not injurious
to the eyes, as it was when very fine perfora
tions were used.
BRAIDING.
Talking of embroidery reminds us that
braiding has proved to be exceedingly popu
lar for trimming dresses this winter. The
designs are made to imitate passementerie,
and are thick and heavy, being filled in
almost aB closely as embroidery. Plain sou
tache and the feather-edged braids are both
used. The braid must match the color of
the carment. Two colors mineled in the
braid, or one' color in contrast with the ma
terial, should not be used, except for fanciful
jackets for the house, or for children s
clothes, and these have either black or white,
or any solid color.
The handsomest velvet cloaks of the winter
have elaborate designs of fern or palm leaves
braided above lace. Dark cloth and cashmere
suits have the slashed paletot and upper skirt
braided to match. These are worn over silk
skirts, or else over a cloth skirt, made plain, or
perhaps the whole garment is edged with fur.
Black cashmere suits richly braided are in
especial favor. The vest and cuffs, or the
Maria Theresa collar of such suits, are almost
covered with braid. Some house jackets of
white, scarlet, or blue cloth or flannel are
braided all over, or are chain-stitched with
the sewing machine in a braiding pattern.
