semble buttons One new style Is Dasquine cut
low and square In the neck with fall of lace. The
circular mantle of silk, with a coachman's cape
trimmed with jet bead fringe Is quite novelty, and
Talmas or circulars with or without the cape, as
when % Of daerent material from Che skirt they have
q careless look and are not "dress" Circulars are
made Of rich black silk and are suitable for elderly
laules but for Young and graceful figures there Is
nothing more beautiful than the present style or

BALMoRAL SKIRTS,
Dark BnlmOral skirts are nearly lost sight Of The
gay and eaboTatelY trimmed skirts so much nvogue
during the winter, diapp or as the warm weather
draws nearer. For spring wear there are sklrts Of
white mohar, or wool, with border of some bright
color. Sometimes they are trimmed in scollOped

JEwELRY.
The DESIGNS in jew elry are many-some of them
only attractive account of their oddlty IN having
numerous angles, curves, and pendants. Earrings
and brooches are set with brilhants, pearl andsda-
monds, and are usually finished with pendants of
