The Iceland floss Il much used for
crocheting shawls and sacques.
--Basqucs have long tabs mt the back.
and some are tastefully trimmed with
lace.
-Princesse dresses are shirrcd in the
front, and trimmed with passemente-
ries.
Pretty new cologne bottles are in
the shape Of small demijohns with straw
covers.
The most fashionable hats for chill
dren are in the Pekin style. They come
in cardinal and navy blue.
MASK wells are much worn, but
dotted net has in great degree taken
the place Of the plain Brussels net.
Canvas grenadine with small
square meshes Is chosen for nice dresses
for mourning, and are trimmed with
English Grape.
Striped dresses for day receptions
are Of black and white silk, with inch
wide stripes, trimmed with cardinal red
facings Of silk.
The old fashioned French calicoes
in chintz designs are imported by
modistes for making morning dresses
and robes de chambre.
Now that short skirts are SO gener-
ally adopted, trained dresses are made
merely with reference TO house wear.
and the richest laces are used for garni-
turc.
Aprons for small girls are now
made Of white nansook, high in the
neck, with a yoke and fully gathered
below, and they may be with or with
out sleeves.
For ladies in mourning there are
dresses and wrappers made Of the black
and white barred ginghams, and the
English calicoes that have alternate
stripes Of gray and black.
Wrappers for brides are Of gray
plaid camcl's hair, made with plastron
front Of silk and trimmed with the thick
white Spanish lace that Is now made Of
thread in blonde patterns.
Handsome black dresses for recep-
tions have long full trains Of plain satin,
while the petticoat front and coat-tail
basques are Of black brocaded satin in
large designs Of flowers and leaves.
Jackets for misses and for small
girls are in the cut-away shape, without
vests. They are single-breasted, and
fastened by two or three buttons, a
seam defines the waist line, and pocket
flaps are set on at the back in this seam.
The prncesse dresses worn by girls
Of II years and under, are no longer
% ain. The fancy this season is to add
jacket fronts to them, giving them in
some designs the effect Of cut-away
coat, while the princessc back Is pre-
sented.
