Fnshinn Notes.

IDe newest Jet trlngeS are made OF
strings of graduated jet beads that are
hollow, yet are beautifully cut in facets.
Elegant petticoats to be worn beneath
dressy short costumes are of garnet or
else black satin, trimmed with two
plated flounces edged with white lace,
either Breton or Russian. The novelty
consists in the back being drawn into
puffs that are stuffed with hair, and.
when worn, these form small hustle
that holds out the skirts as much as is
considered stylish.
Red cashmere underskirts of bright
scarlet, of cardinal red, garnet and wine
coiors, are heavy enough for warmth.
They are trimmed with plated fiounces
around the bottom and up the back to
the belt, and are also provided with a
regular hustle of curved whalebone set
in cases at the top.
New point d'esprit laces for cravat
bows omit the points or dots altogether,
and are merely the plain Breton net
button-hoied in saw-tooth notches. and
laid in fine knife plaits. Other patterns
have the dots in rows crossing the lace
from the selvedge to. The worked edge.
New sashes for evening dresses are
imported in very gay brocaded flowers
on white or tinted grounds. They are
eight or ten inches wide; importers
bring with these narrower ribbons of
trimming width, in the same design, for
making bows on other parts of the dress
1t is predicted that plain velvet cloaks
will be fashionable during the winter.
Undressed kid gloves with three or
four buttons are the style for ordinary
wear.
Satin de Lyon, a soft twilled lustrous
fabric, enjoys great favor as a handsome
dress material.
New chair tides are of white Java
canvas, in shape and size like a towel,
fringed at the ends, with embroidery in
the center.
Fluting of crepe lisse are as fashion
able as ever, and are even preferred to
lace ruches, as being more becoming to
the complexion.
Gathered flounces or fans of lace ar
rang d in the shape of the train which
they are to trim, are imported, ready to
sew on, in black and in white lace.
Stylish sacques for the house are
made Of light cloth, pale blue, pink,
cream or white, and trimmed with n
wide band of galloons Persian colors.
Embroidery is used to cover lam bre-
quin paniers, apron draperies, sashes,
and the vest that is inserted below the
square neck OF evening dresses.
Beaded passementeries and fringes in
cashmere colors are much used in milli-
merry, and embroidered arabesques of
these gay beads cover the crowns of
satin bOnnets.
Grape wells for deep mourning are
/ I, l. H.. = =
mode, half yard deep at the bottom
and band of the same, three inches
wide, on the sides.
The hair is worn low over the browS,
either in plain or waved bandeauX or in
a fringe; at the back it is coiled or
plated, so as scarcely to show above
the top of the head, and leaves the nape
of the neck quite free. This is the morn
ing coiffure. For the evening it is not
quite so simple; the front hair is
crimp2d or strongly waved or cut short
and frizzled over tire forehead. The bach
is arranged in short coils called cOqueS
turned round the fingers like coil, and
fastened on tightly; but over the temple.
it is invariably brushed straight off. A
tortoise shell comb, not too high, is {
nice finish; and large pins, with,tOrtoisC
shell heading, are also much used
When a flower is worn it is placed just
behind the left ear, nearly dropping on
the neck. Filagree butterflies anC
jeweled insects are favorite ornaments
Young girls wear their hair in wave
all over the head, with knot of loosely
coiled hair at the back. Rows of larg
opal beads are a favorite ornament.
Paniers are altered in form. Insteat
of being short and full on the hips the
are carried further back, and are marrow
and long, and they disappear low dow
/ on the skirt under the looped- bacl
breadth.
The newest fancy for trains is t.
gauge" them just below the basque il
great plaits, arranged in the way old
fashioned gauging was done, whicl
/ differs from shirring by being made O
t alternate long and short stitches tina
hold the fabric in close deep plSits.
