ION THE FASHIONS,

We find in q New York newspaper some rather
startling fashion notes. One, for instance, makes
the coneiee and tremendous statement that
"The vulgar-custom of displaying wedding
pr 'aants has gone completely out OF fash
ion" I4
This, as the newspapers used to say, is " inn
portant, il true" That the custom is somewhat
vulgar-though a most pleasing feature Of the
occasion to the wedding guests-we cannot de-
ny, but that 1t has gone completely out of
fashion really is it safe to believe this And
then we are told, further, that;
tColored ribbons about the neck, with bow
in front with diamonds thereon, are much worn
In full dress"
As for the ribbons being much worn, both
with full dress, and somewhat empted one,
(f that is the proper expression for 9 full dresss
modified form, We believe this statement true.
But that tho diamonds are 80 common, we incline
to question. OF the innumerable company Of
pretty girls passing the COMMERCIAL Office, daily
with colored ribbons about their necks, only a
small number have diamonds on the bow in
front. though, to DO sure. the beaux at their
sides sometimes wear very flashing limitations.
We find It also stated that'
"a new suit material like Turkish toweling is
very popular, and as soon as it gets little later
in the season will be very uncomfortable.
How Turkish towelling would "suit, We don't
really know, but Russian toweling, or old salt
sacks, we should think would bo livery uncom-
fcrtsble," sure enough, without waiting until it
is "lAteI in the season."
Here, also, are three further Notes:
Fancy iewelry is much worn on the street
again, which is in very bad taste.
The "Aphrodite" OF. Girdle OF Venus, is the
newest thing in belts. 1t is "horrid."
Tho fade tlnts are going ont, and the old
fashioned, bright positive colors are being worn
again
Why fancy jewelry should be vulgar when
much worn on the street, unless it be because it
is SO worn out, ia not readily perceived-not near
so easily as that the fade tints should go ont ;
this is reasonable enough-thoy fade out, OF
course. As for the newest thing in belts being
horrid, when it has 80 attractive a name as the
"Girdle OF Venus" really it seems an example
of pretty name being WASTED,
