FASHION NOTES.

Lace is the most fashionable of all !
waistcoats are trimmed with |
it, and also the lace jsbot is considered
a part of the costume.
PolonaiEez and baEdaes are both worn
with Waistcoats the latter are worn with
ball and fancy costumes, as well as with
walking costumes.
A street or walking dress must be
dark, short and unobtrusive in its gen.
eral effect; while bright colors and lsces
should be worn with the house dress.
DFessy aprons of muslin are iashiona.
bic for home toilette they are trimmed
with lace snd bows of ribbon, and the
one pocket is ornamented With bow.
Two. small redsclsy pipes, decorated
with flowers and mottos, With the stems
tied in cross with q blue Tibbon, is the
newest chandelier pendant in fashiona
bic houses. They are called "peace
pipes.
Satin and French bunting make a
beautiful combination for walking suits.
Lace will be used profusely on these
costumes, but it Is very poor taste to
wear white or colored Iaces on dresses
for the street.
The vest is the distinguishing feature
of the stylish costume, for the reason
that it affords excellent means of intro.
ducing bright and contrastive effects.
Some very elegant goods, embroidered
by the hand in brilliant eolers, are shown
for vests and teYefs.
Jet ornaments are very stylish, pars
ticularly the cut Jet horseshoe and cres-
cent. These two are worn on nearly
every thing where an ornament can Be
put. Jet is the only ornament used for
deep mourning, steel, silver and oxy-
died silver being reserved for half
mourning.
The fashion for flower bouquets is to
have garden pesies with several oIdsfssh-
Toned flowers inthem bunches Of thous
| andsIeat roses. spray of mignonette, a
pansy or two, a marigold or q butter
cup, and few ferns are tied together
and used IN bonnets or for waist bou-
quets.

and there must be pair. It's simplici-
ty of effect is most chaste, becoming and
classic.
Novelties in shoes have Louis Quinze
heels, and many straps across the instep,
with bows and buckles. These are for
the house only. A neat. trim boot
| should be as much part of the walking
costume as the Well-ftting soft lid glove
is considered inseparable from a Iady's
toilette.
The late handkerchief Ia almost wholly
of lace. The center is small square.
round or oval piece of fine linen cambria,
upon which is the owners crest or mon
ogram. For every day use the small
SQUARE of linen lawn. with deep hem, is
In more perfect taste than those With
colored borders.
A German feather dealer in London
recently received 80, 600 humming birds,
3d. 90 aquatic birds and $40 coo pairs of
| wings in enc COnaisnment, and ali these
were meant for the millinefs. The
humming birds tiny wings are mounted
as q pin and used to fasten laces at the
throat and on the hat.
The most original bonnet of the sea,
son is coarse straw, composed, like
JOseph's coat, of many c0lors, 1t is not
at all 30 striking, however, as q straw
In plain blue or deep wine color. The
4 SSEaAAA4eeAOA usually EOub1SlS VI ivory
and mastic shades, combined with dark
maroon, olive, Faienee blue, paler green
! and brown. The trimmings must COR
respond in every particular, the most
| fash enable consisting of q broad, full
ostrich plume, containing q mixture of
| the same cOlors, and satin ribbon
stripped to match. Of cour 9 such 8
hat is costly, because it is unique and
rare, and the colOrs are so sYtistically
blended that its effect is not snowy or
pronounced.
Very many of the dresses for girls
from two to ten and twelve years old
present the effect of q kilt coat. The
kilt plating is made up of either very
| wide box or very wide side piaits. Often
these dresses are nearly all in one piece
The trimmings, instead of giving q prins
cesse effect, simulate a long cut-away
coat with q Frsnklin vest extending to
meet deep kilt hounce sewed on under
meath the cost, and representing q kilt
| skirt. Again, the coat effect is brought
about on princesse dresses by the addi-
| ton OF broad pockets placed low down
on the sides. For school girls wash
| dresses are made OF pretty Scotch giDg-
hams, pc rcales and chintzes, with polka
| dots and borders and bandana plaids.
The principle of combination rules alike
in ladies' and childTen's costumes, and
in silk, wool and cotton fabrics. In ali,
solid coIors are made up with figured
stufs to match. A fayorite way of
fashioning thu gay plaided bandana and
peTcale dresses is in q kilt skirt set On a
deep yoke fitting about the hips closely,
and yoked or plated blouse, belted in.
For younger girls, in wash goods, come
little slips, with the whole front of the
garment laid in box plsits down to a
Spanish fouuce, While the back is gath
cred into a yoke and the neck of the
dress is finished with a deep sailor col
lar. One of the simplest ways of max
ing up dresses for little girls is the Ga
brielle shape, fastened at the back and
finished around the bottom with kilt
plating. White dresses are in many
instances finished with Spanish founce,
box plated on instead of being gath
cred. These fiounces are in turn edged
with lace, embroidery or Hamburg
edging.
