Nairow ribbon of various abides has taken the place of frilling as trimming for tile neck and sleeves, It is pretty, bat Either an expensive fashion* One of the happiest ohanges In styles of dress skirts slnoe last winter, Is the adoption of very plain tailor-made skirts, which If one wishes to look especially neat and trim, It would be well to invest in. la the end they are the cheapest dresses for winter wear; they not only lait long, bat look batter for walking pnrposeß. French oostumes are now made so simple for street wear, that with the exception of the oat of the bodice ono would sot know the difference between the English and the French dress.

The upper skirt haa a long train of amethyet-coloura i satin outlined with fur; the under drees was of cream brocade covered with a pattern of delicate blue convolvuli. Bound the line of the bodice was a drapery of amethyst velvet, fastened by a spray of convolvulus in di» monds, A simp ler bnt no less charming dreo» was of sal phur-coloured tafia ta brocaded with dusters of rotes; ronnd the bodice and about the hem of the skirt undulated festoons of soft pink mouasjliae da eoe ; a Marie Antoinette fiohu of pink muslin was twioel round the bodice. The dresi had B suggestion of the Louis XVI s'ylo. It is notable tLat the style of various pon'ods is suggested in the charming gowns of to-d»y, while yet they keep their note of present fashion.

AN OUTLET FOR NEW ZEA LAND PRODUCE.

Our readers will fiira in pesterday's issue a report of a very interesting interview with Mr Tighe, who is now'on a visit to Ashburton, and who has famished our reporter with a large amount of exceed- I ingly valuable information on the subject Uf %? opportunities afforded ior tuo |/?penmj?np of a remunerative trade be tween this colony and .Queensland Mr TigWv Btatemonte fully bear oat wb»t

! we have often insisted upon, namely that j dairy farmers could secure for them selves a ready and paying market if they would only take a leaf out of the book of other exporting countries and prepare and ship their produce iv a suitable fashion. We have often drawn attention to the fact that butter is ex ported from Denmark to India and other tropical countries in large quanti ties, but in a form suited to the needs of the climate—that is to say put up in hermetioally-sealed ting or packages each containing only a pound or two, and we, have been informed that the Danish article so prepared commands in Cal cutta half-a crown a pound. Mr Tighe states that similar packages of butter imported from America command a ready sale in Queensland, while New Zealand butter is altogether neglected for the reason that it arrives in kegs of SOlbs or more landed in an oily state and becoming bad from atmospherical influences before it can be used. New Zealand hams and bacon are also it seems at a discount because of a similar want of care, these being sent to Queens land bare, while the Yankees, who know better, send theirs carefully covered in bags and protected with sawdust. I Surely i£ is time that New Zealand ex porters took steps to secure the market for these articles, as it is evident they could do if only the matter were gone about iv the right way. Then again, it appears there is room for a good deal of business to be done in preserved milk, tinned and dried fish, dried veget ables, green, dried and preserved fruit, the little anecdote told about a basket of Auckland peaches sold in Brisbane at threepence per peach being highly suggestive. Even our woollen manufac turers will find a hint or two .worth not ing as to a possible market for the lighter description of tweeds, cricketing flannels, etc,, and while New Zealand has thousands of tons of sulphur waiting to be picked up at White Island and elsewhere it is not to our credit that the Qaeenslanders should be in ignorance that they can be supplied with an article in constant use in quartz-reducingprocesses and greatly in demand among vighicul turists so near to their own doors and should instead be importing it from Great Britain or America. We advise farmers and commercial men to read what Mr Tighe has to say on this sub ject and they will see for themselves what goldeu opportunities are now being neglected for lack of knowledge on the part of New Zealanders, or the lack of the energy and enterprise needed to take due advantage of them.
