Fashion Notes.

The stylish costumes of dark blue OF
green, trimmed with wide white braid
occasionally intermingled with thread
of gold, are very effective F.; and the close
cut of the long polonaise, the princess
sweep of the small train adds grace and
beauty to the figure.
Dark green costumes will be fashion
ably worn, including dark green petit
coats, hosiery, felt hats and trimming.
The petticoats are enlvened with figures
of embroidery, in which all the bright
colors are introduced, and the hats have
pretty bright feather and gilt ornaments.
Quite new in style and well adapted. tc
two materials is the "Camile." 1t sim.
ulates q vest, has a quaint and very
dressy show, and may be used to advan.
tage in making over an old handsome
dress in combination with new materials.
But it is also most strikingly suited to g
stylish contrast of shades in new rict
fabrics.
Among the new basques suitable to be
worn, either for home or street, Is the
"Delphine," which is long and tight
fitting, double breasted, having the
fronts Tapped from right to left and worn
with belt attached at the side seams
and fastened in front. This design If
most effective when used in combination
of different materials or colors and il
appropriate for great variety of goods
it may, however, if desired, be made o.
one material alone and the trimmings
varied to correspond with the goods Sc
lected.
A very handsome shawl of American
manufacture, is named the Premiere.
It is of very fine texture, the same or
both sides, and is introduced in plaidf
and checks, also in all shades of grey
and brown. with or without borders.
The material of these are of 50 fine tex.
ture that when the wearer becomes tlreo
of them they can be.made into a polo
naise or into children's dresses.
Gloves are things that not only perish
with the using, but, as every woman
says, "they are gone before one knows
it," For evening wear pale colors are
relied upon to bring out the effect OF the
brighter portions of toilet. and for the
street dark shades are advised. They
also reduce the size of the hand they
cover. Handsome gloves are brought
out in dark shades, similar to those
which prevail in silks and dress goods
but at the same time it is more elegant
to wear glove brighter in tone than the
costume. For general wear, less thar
three buttons are not considered stylish
Sleeve buttons of all kinds are quite
large, the linked styles remaining the
most fashionable. For gentlemen's col
lar and sleeve buttons link buttons O.
two fiat disks of plain gold, about the
size of a dime, and with square edges
are extremely stylish. Studs to mattel
are about the size of half dime.
Flowers are not used on round hatt
for city streets; they are confined tx
shade hats for the country.
A novel idea for round hats is that o
covering the wing or one or two long
slender feathers with gilt or with silver
All black hats are still shown, and art
always stylish. The most dressy materi
ais for these will be black plush trimmed
with black satin.
Helmet-shaped hats, like those wor1
by gentlemen during the summer, ar
offered for young ladies. Their onl.
trimming is q wide galloon band and
slender wing.
The frame of the bonnet is plainly
covered with any of the fabrics with Ions
pile; the plush cannot look too heavy
o. or too much like fur, and the yelvets are
of the richest quality.
