FASHION NoTEs.-Many of Wort's
trained dresses omit the panier puff
and fiounee, having a sash of one
loop and two uneven ends on the
upper part, while the lower edge is
cut in square blocks, with knife
plaitings showing between.
Striped grenadines make hand
some dresses either for the house or
street.
No more buff or gay kid shoes
are worn by little girls, black being
firmly settled as the favorite color,
or rather no color.
Bibs of Valehciennes lace, form
ing a pampadour square with a
ruff, are the newest fancy for COM
pleting ladies' dressy toilets.
For travelling, kid button boots
are first in favor, but many ladies
are ordering boots of heavy gray
and fax-eolored linen to serve in
dry, hot weather%
White kid gloves, even for brides
and grOOms, are entirely obsolete.
The favorite and fashionable eolors
now are the most delicate shades of
the most delicate colors.
Buff-colored linen travelling suits,
trimmed with a darker shade of
the same material, will be much
worn during the season, and are
cut and made in the Polonaise
style.
The newest thing in chatelaine
pockets is a square affair of black
silk, studded with large jet beads
and heavily iringed on all sides
with the Same. They are awfully
stunning.
The style of wearing the hair is
somewhat changed from last sea-
son. Those who follow the fashion
in such matters wear two bandeaus
instead of one across the front of
the hair, and affect plaits IN place
of puffs.
White collars and cuffs are not
so popular as the colOred sets.
These are either striped or figured
lines, and are finished with row
of stitching for colored suits, and
bound with black for those wear
ing mourning.
The Jane Seymour parure is pop
ular. 1t is made in close imitation
of the collar of the golden fleece.
The collar is of fine muslin en-
broidered in applique; an embroid-
cred frill and a double linen collar
complete the parure.
The choicest Isle thread and Bal
briggan stockings now have color
ed stripes or colored embroidery
upon them. The unbleached stock
ings, with inch bands OF blue, and
ecru hosiery embroidered with vel
vet color, are among the prettiest.
Sailor suits for both boys and
girls will be worn this spring and
sumner. Dark-blue blouses, trim
mod with white or blue braid of a
lighter shade, will be the chosen
style for boys, and all materials
will be made after the fashion for
girls.
The Medicis sacque is the most
popular wrap imported for spring.
1t is a loose sacque with q seam
down the back broad, long front
and short back, a faring Medicis
collar, short shoulders and reced-
ing front. The sleeves are straight
and half-howing.
Rabagas hats are the correct
thing just now for the fashionable
belle of the period. They are
trimmed handsomely, and are deci-
dedly jaunty. The prettiest are Of
white chip, trimmed with peacock
blue, in a style recalling the photo
graphs Of the celebrated % Cora
Pearl-N. Y. Mail.
The newest thing in glove boxes
is miniature trunk, divided into
compartments for morning, after
noon, and evening gloves. 1t is Of
Russia leather, bound with fine gilt,
and will do in country houses for u
mantel ornament. Empty, the
boxes cost fifty dollars; filed, the
whole affair will demOralize a hun
dred dollar bill
The most aeeeptible style intro
dueed this spring Is the standing
collar. Its merit is that whether
or no ladies' must leave something
high about the neck if they wear it.
Necks are always handsomest when
the collar is close fitting and high,
the belief to the contrary nOtwith-
standing.
Buttoned boots, made of soft,
lustreless French kid, are the kind
preferred, heavy shoes of pebble
goat being added to wardrobes now
in preparation for the country
For sensitive feet, easily wearied
by walking, uppers Of French sat
in have fOxings of kid, only high
enough to give strength and protect
the feet against dampness.
The Indian Daily News states
the Maharajah of Cashmere, who
Is much concerned at the present
depression in the state of the shawl
trade with Europe. and especially
in France, has invited to Jummoo
the trading native merchants and
shawl manufacturers of Cashmere
to confer with them as to the best
means TO be adopted to resuscitate
the trade, and to take steps to pre-
vent for the future the present de-
probation of Cashmere wares in
France.
