Fashion Notes.

made from the cedarS OF lebanon.
THE latest novelty in funerals is to lay
Brussels carpet around the grave.
BLACK silk stockings are the latest
novelties in London fashionable society.
ENTIRE suits of fine white French
flannel have been introduced for the sum-
mer wear of the New York " "swells."
IT is the fashion now, among Italian
gray hounds, and other pet dogs, to
wear silk neckties.
LIMITATION ALLIGATOR" is the fanciest
thing in boot leather in the Eastern
market at present. All the Massachu-
setts shoe-making towns are working up
large stocks of the stuff, and the ladies
invariably call for gators when they go
shoe-shopping.
SOME silk umbrellas are now adorned
with small telescope set in the handle.
We have also heard of umbrellas that
can be converted into camp-stools in an
instant-useful for picnics or crowded
churches, no doubt, if they exist at al,
but they seem decidedly mythical.
THE latest thing in the snobs costume
is the billiard coat. This is a coat without
any sleeves, for these are made part of
the vest. By this arrangement, on re-
moving the coat for billiards, you have
sleeved jacket only to play in. This
is English, and the New York Mail ex-
poets to see "swells" shortly making
calls or going to the opera in "billiard"
coats.
THE following is the latest programme
issued for the observance of wedding
anniversaries, viz: First anniversary,
iron fifth anniversary, wooden; tenth
anniversary, tin; fifteenth anniversary,
crystal; twentieth anniversary, china ;
twenty fifth anniversary, silver; thirtieth
anniversary, cotton; thirty-ffth ami
versary, linen; fortieth anniversary,
woolen; forty-fifth anniversary, silk
fiftieth anniversary, golden; seventy
fifth anniversary, diamond.
THE Boston Bullehn says of fashiona-
BILE hats and bonnets:
The trade, as we'll as our many lady
readers, will read with interest that the
millinery jobbers are having an unusu-
ally lively business. The styles of hats
are radically changed from the turn-up
to turn-down Gipsy rims in countless
varieties. Crowns still run high and
sloping, all made IN the varied colors of
cactus, Milan and fancy straws.
The most popular styles with the
trade are, the Artless," with huted
rim turned down behind, and plain bent
up in front; the "Naiad," whose crown
sets on the rim in curving lines, higher
in front than behind, follows, in block
ing of rim, the style of the Artless, but
pointing down in front; the "Gipsy' is
straight line downward from the top
of the crown to the edge of the brim.
The Flirt" draws down Gypsy style
over the eyes, and the rim is fiuted up
ward behind and curved up in front.
This style is intended as half-bonnet,
and gives opportunity for cords of trim
ming. The dress-hat will be white,
Leghorn crown, "a inches high and
brim 8 inches wide. The Magnolia" {"
a shade hat, has a crown running down
into the brim, even with the drops of
the ear. A school-hat in similar shape
promises large sale.
Milan straws seem to be the favorite
of early spring trade. Gipsy shape OF
bonnets made on frames will doubtless
be fashionable. Natural roses, foliage
and rose wreath seem to be the leading
stock for trimming. The city trade for
early uses, however, runs fairly on feath-
ers and velvets.
Wells In Grenadine, plain and gauze
figures will be sold as hat-trimmings,
while large lace wells promise to have a
free sale. Gentlemens silk hats are IL
inches higher in crown and the old
width of brim, with very light roll.
Wool and felt hats are of round crown
and dish -brim. This latter is a Boston
style, now deservedly popular all over
the country. Silk cord takes the place
of ribbons as bands.
