Fashion Notes.

 Red is the fashionable color for chill dren's dresses in Paris this year.
 Lace jackets with a single button at the throat are the latest Parisian idea. Checked and striped chuddah cloths are liked for country wear in England. Triple side paniers are to be worn this fall, but the contour of the figure is not to be enlarged.
 Striped grenadine makes the prettiest trimming for the rough straw hats that are so much worn.
 Hats of braided wood splints, trim med with wooded leaves and foliage, are sold for children's wear.
 The belt finished with the little bow of narrow ribbon at the back is only pretty when the ribbon is fresh.
 Ball dresses for young ladies are made short, and with a single large flower at the left of the low, square bodice.
 Double collars, composed of q col larette and choker trimmed with Tur- key rcd, are worn with gingham gowns. Bronze boots are much worn this year. They accord with POmpadour / costumes better than those of black kid. The new short dresses are not tight when properly made. If they be glove fitting, they are the production of home talent.
 A pretty way of using the Pompadour cambrics for children is to make them into overdresses to be worn with black overskirts.
 The idea of high colored birds fast ened on fans is borrowed from the h. dians at Niagara Falls, where the style originated.
 Long summer gloves have no buttons, and Parisian speciality is made of silk to match the dress with a ruffle of the silk at the top.
 Some of the trained skirts have all their fullness shirred into a narrow space at the top and attached to the lower edge of the basque.
 Some of the muslin polonaises have their backs tucked throughout their en- tire length, and have the front tucked as far as the waist.
 Charming dresses for young ladies are made of orgdndie, or white India mus lin, trimmed profusely with plaitings edged with Breton lace.
 Shoes with high heels and pointed toes have taken the place of boots, and with the fine ornamented stocking are very coquettish with short dresses.
