the trimming of felt hats.
Stylish stripes and plaids must not be
bold in outline or color.
Much hem-stitching will be shown on
cuffs and collars next winter.

The new polonaises buttoned behind
are very graceful garments that show a
fine figure to advantage, yet merchants
say they will only be worn by young ladies
and those who adopt extreme fashions.
Black lace is effectily introduced in the
trimmings of the more expensive bon

as Russian lace adds a creamy-white
thread lace that promises to become
popular.
The new goods shown in imported
costumes are the new Russian cloths like

brocaded wool; basket-wOven cloth in
plain. plaid, and striped patterns; and
the striped Algeriennes.
Fancy feathers Of all kinds and colors
play conspicuous part in the ornament

birds entire. some of which last are quite

Felt hats show all the new shades o.

Harper's Bazar says of the latest i'm
ported suits: In some costumes there i:
plain basket-woven stuff, plain goods o
the same material and silk; others are o.
figured camel's hair with velvet and with
silk, or of striped Algerienne with plain
solid-colored Algerienne of the promi

silk or velvet; brocaded woOlens are some
times used with plain wool, but mos
often with silk; the cloth suits art
trimmed with shaded braids. One lead

costume, and no decided contrasts are
seen, though there are often lines ant
threads of gray on dark sombre grounds
