in the arrangement of these acce ssories;
they must appear graceful, easy and
natural.
NOVELTIES OF THE SEASON. -" Lace
shoes are of satin, over which appears
to be lace. The designs of applique and
capture are carefully initiated and uper-
posed to all appearance on the main
fabric. The shoe is finished with tn,
smallest heel yet worn. 1t is so narrow
and so high that it requires practice to
venture upon it, Some designs of these
shoes initiate velvet with overlying lace.
Some ladies have worn shoes upon
which was set lace, the fancy was taken
up. and hence this really beautiful shoe.
There is an entire change in the style
of combs. The present idea seems to be
that the comb shall merely push for
ward the superabundant ornamentation
of the head, consisting Of light and
fluffy crmped puffs and feathery curls,
or narrow, fiat, many-stranded braids,
aud that it shall lift away from the nape
of the neck all floating ripplets. The
comb is not intended by fashion to be
worn with any low coiffure. The high
est mode gives n narrow, three -forked,
ball-headed affair, and the poniard, with
one bali or n cross-shaped hilt, carries
out the same idea. This finishes high
head-dressiug with fine effect. So long
ago as when Rachel was in this country
it was Ia haute 11ede. and the great
tragedienne wore at dinner a poninrd
of gold in her jetty hair, in which were
set three diamond soltnires.
LA SURPRISE. - Only the ultra
fashionable will venture to wear this,
the first hat OF the season. II is best
suited to carriage wear. To walk the
street with it would be hardihood in
deed; and this, not because either its
material or trimming is eccentric, but
because of the adjustment of the feather
This feather rs three. quarters of yard
long and is attached to the forward part
of the brim on the right side, and simply
hangs from that proud eminence,"
curling down upon the shoulder. The
effect is that of its being detached by
hfgh and unreasonable wind from the
main body of the hat and of its hanging
thus almost apart from it without the
wearer's knowledge. The hat is of the
" mousquetaire Louis XIV" shape,
either garnet or nav blue velvet, and
the plume is white, or very light. As
dbbOClhbSO Will Eulb OI RTdN Six, bIlI1-
med with either garnet or navy-blue, its
effect is good, or would be, could the
eccentricity of the feather be lost sight
of.
Already novelty in sun umbrellas is
introduced and commands attention.
The "Pekin satin stripes" harmonize
with the satin stripes in alternate bright
and dull shades, now the leading fashion
in dress goods, and is a novel, tasteful
and elegant material for sun umbrellas.
Those of Pekin silk, with satin stripes,
are shown in blue, brown and black and
those in cardinal are very effective for
the carriage. The cotton "Pekin stripes, :"
with silk finish, come only in black.
This material is fine, resembling closely
those in silk, and is decidedly superior
TO the boiled twills at half the price.
The handles are varied, including carved
ivory, gold mounted, pearl and ivory
combined, celluloid, white and colored,
in perfect imitation of coral, shell NAL
achite, etc., and those mounted on
ventilated handles are exceedingly
attractive. .-NeaO York Herald.
