THE ORLD OF FASHION.

A LADY "who goes out at all" in New
York, cannot dress herself for less than
81 500 year.
A NOVEL method of arranging fringe
is to sew it on with the heading down
ward, so that the fringe falls over it.
The feathers and flowers surpass
those at any former season. The bird
OF paradise, with its golden plumsge,
Is in vogue for expensive bonnets,
PLAIN black silks are not so much
worn as they have been tor many years
A black silk, made with mixture OF en-
bossed or brocade velvet, is far more ele-
CANT than silk alone.
For outdoor wear black cashmere cos
TUNES made up with black satin are pop
ular at present. The front Is composed
of two pleatings of black, and the cash.
mere back is bordered with satin.
The Virot bow this season is very pc
cu,iar, consisting of six pieces OF satin
ribbon, each four inches long, doubled
fatty, each end cut in sharp points, the
whole placed together IN layers, and
Strapped tightly in the midd 9.
In morning dresses the blouse style is
fashionable, made of cashmere silk
foundation. The skirt is almost short,
and the cashmere Is Grsped At the back;
the front is gathered like u child's blouse,
and 10 confined round the waist with
band and buckle.
The Plevns pelisse is long stylish
IL plnuka ar1 :
suitable alike for slender and Tor stout
figures. The fancy quadrllle and basket
cloths are most Used for such garments,
and the trimmings are silk GALLONS or
else worsted brands Of fine quality.
JENNIE JUNE says Evening dresses
are mere sheaths, with isn-shsped
train 1T the back; the bodice cut very
low and entirely without sleeves. The
Ides is to use gloves which will reach to
the top of the arms, but this will be
found lmpracLiCsble. Another fancy Is
TO revive the stocking mits OF our grand
mothers, and some OF these have already
made their appearance.
The Roumanian cloak is a suitable
model for very dressy wraps of the
| camels hair cloths that come IN light
gray and drab shades, and are trimmed
with embossed velvet bands and NOR
dore, or else cLalr. de-iURe beads. This
cloak is by no means tight fitting as pale
tots are. but Is just sufficiently close TO
show the outlines of the figure, the
dropping shoulders and weIL-rounded
| bust.
New cravat bows are leaves or tabs Of
ducnesse lace laid over color and
trimmed with loops and long hanging
ends of very narrow ribbon. Others are
very prettily formed of fine small hand
kerchiefs folded double without cutting),
| and the trimmed corners are laid in Hat
oppressed pleats. Ingenious ladies take
their fine lace collars OF shapes that have
gone out of fashion and form cravst
bows and taUotS OF them.
Wok~H makes many evening dresses
in the princess style Black silk,
trimmed with color, will be popular.
For example, black and old brocade.
These panels descend the length of the
front, leaving the centre black, and be-
tween them there is black fable pl"at
ing. The bodice is black, with the ex-
ceptIon OF the back and basque, which
are brocadc; the waistband IN front is
| black
The large collars, which have been try
! inc SO long to make Roadway. seem at last
TO have established their position. They
are not. however, deep and strait, as
! o. old, but revive antique and Pc.urr sluc
! .orms. and when msJ b, linen are edged
WITH wide torchon lace and finished with
colored ribbons, which with broad cuffs
worn on the outside of the sleeve, suggest
the trappings OF Il gay cavalier upon the
stage rather than a modest flash to a
| lady's indoor dress.
