Fashion Notes,

Perfumed hair is the latest novelty.
Star-spangled stockings are the latest fash
ianoble caprice of the Philadelphia bellies.
The latest Partisan novelty in shoes and GAL
tiers is to have the high heels studded with
small stars.
The fashionable shade of red is called the vul-
can red.
A marked feature about new bonnets is the
absence of all hanging draperies.
y beautiful trimming for bonnets is formed
of daisies or marguerites woven in a chain and
arranged around the brim.
A new way of making sets OF lingerie con-
sists of a turned down collar with cuffs tC
match, covered with small lace ruff1es.
Fancy buttons, with bank notes, postage
stamps, &c. on them, in enamel, are very fash
ionable in Paris as trimmings for dresses.
! Prominent among the newest styles in jewel
ry is the Swiss topaz, large stone, semi
opaque, of dark red amber color.
New chatelaine fans have bird handles, "A small
red tanager or an oriole being mounted on the
hollow stem, in which is concealed a painted
red fan. A tassel at one end draws out the
fan, while at the other end a chatelaine hook is
fastened to attach the fan to a belt
