Late Fashion Items.

fefnap6 the prctLleSb FASHION is lne
universal wearing of white for full dress !;
white grenadines, white cashmeres and
white foulards are used at the seaside
where thinner materials would be injured
by the dampness; all sorts of feather trim
nlings and exuberant ruches are used as
trimmings. Ella
Among the newest shades are these sug-
gestive names Dead turquoise, startled
nympb, Endymion' moonbeam, nenuphar
or water-liiy green, Pasha's green, toad in
moss green, absinthe green, cooked sorrel
green, Persian lilac, Dubarry pink, Pier
rot white, souci or marigold yellow and
matador red. ~
Yellow in the shade known as old gold
is still retained for dresses, in conjunction
with black. A very handsome dress for
autumn is of black grenadipe, with a
checked design of chenille, in which
threads of gold are interviewer. 1t is
made in the Princesse style, and the
drapery is held at one side under two
large :" choux,"sor full rosettes of black
and yellow; this draws the dress open to
show the killed skirt beneath, which is
of silk, alternate kits of yellow and
black silk extending from the waist to the
edge of the skirt, where full ruche of
the two colors is set on. The vest front,
the turn. over collar and the sleeves are OF
plated silk, black and yellow alternat-
ing; this costume is for the house, and al
though eccentric, is excessively rich. BE-
Since the adoption of the Gainsboro'
hat it has held its place in popular favor,
and is still so much favorite that fall
hats of that shape will be made of dark
chamois-colored felt, the brims supple
and capable of assuming the graceful
curves and turned-up sides; dark velvet
Gainsboros Of green or of the deepest
shade of ruby have been seen at the wat
ering places or the races. Other bonnets
for dress occasions at the seaside have
raised brims, the whole crown mass OF
currants and leaves, OF, the diadem front is
. wreath OF rose leaves, and the back COM
posed of another large tull wreath of roses
and buds of different shades; some have
coronets Of vine leaves,in shaded tints,
while the backs are mass of green and
black grapes. Round hats tilted little
over the face are encircled with damson
plums on back ground of white satin
Alsatian bows set on the crown. In
Long draperies are still worn, AMI the
backs of graceful princesse dresses sweep
out in trains which are sometimes slashed
up half q yard from the bottom to allow
of " crevess'' or trimmings set in either as
puffs or narrow, graduated ruffies. These
long trains.are set on in deep plaits from
the waist and are held under bows and
loops Of ribbon, or scarf is twisted dag
onally over them to hold them in place.
With these dresses, whether for evening
wear or when made of the dark-colored
percales or linens now so much worn for
mornings, the neck is made square, or cut
heart-shaped backand front; for mornings
they are filed in with chemisettes Of col
ored linen, or with white embroidered in
color; and for evenings lace is used. In
Europe these dresses are always accompa-
MED by mantles or scarfs of the material
used when worn out of doors. Blue linen
q Irish batiste. with lighter material
s6iped'Nfth DIX blue - scarf dfapery
for the skirt, and scarf for the neck, is
one Of the favorite styles of morning dress
worn in Europe.
In jewelry the newest designs for pins
are long bars of gold or onyx set with
diamonds, for scarf pins or to be worn at
the neck. Some of the handsomest de-
signs shown at Tiffany's have onyx bars
tN0 inches long, from which the diamonds
ne hang asfff they were slid on 4 fine gold
bar resting on the onyx. Some Of these
pins are in such designs as lizards en-
crusted with diamonds, or long arrows
baroed with diamonds and large dia-
monds set near the tip. In earrings the
designs are equally rich and unique.
Arrows of gold with the diamond set about
the center, the diamond on screw which
