For the Ladies.

Very deep fringes are in favor at pres
ent.
Sleeveless jackets of black satin are a
nicely this season.
The papillon bow is the pretty head
dress for the house.
Surplice pleatiDgs of fine folds are laid
on the front of dress waists.
For dress bonnets the, dantiest cot
tage shapes, made entirely of flowers, are
shown.
AS the season advances, black wraps
reassert their hold on favor for dressy
garments.
For small wraps the fchus are pre-
ferred, and these are shown in different
shapes.
these are more especially for grenadine
dresses.
The shot or changeable ribbons, some
times called lace ribbons, are the latest
novelty in millinery.
The Pompadour styles are chosen fol
the gay, youthful dresses that will be worn
at summer resorts.
Next after the fichus come the mantles
with sleeves, or with the sides extended
to form square half sleeves.
The glossiest fabrics are used for hand
some mantles, such as satin, Sicllienne,
n oire and rich gros grain.
The newest grenadine scarf wells are of
tan-color or light blue, with gay Ro-
man striped border on each selvedge.
Long wells to be crossed behind the
head and tied under the chin, are made
of black net dotted with gold thread.
On some very expensive mantles, col
ored beads of amber, old gold, steel and
colored red are used to form very snowy
passementerie.
Small Tuscan braid bonnets trimmed
with two curled ostrich tips, or else one
of marabout, with creamy satin and lace,
are considered very dressy.
Plain handkerchiefs has shield done
in celored embroidery in one corner,
while the edge is merely scalloped with
red or blue.
Another new fabric is satin de Lyon,
which has the smoothness and almost the
lustre of satin on one side, while the
other side looks like closely woven gros
grain.
These and the moire, satin and gros
grain mantles are made up without lining,
and are richly trimmed with three or
four rows of scantily pleated black lace, or
else very deep fringe.
The glossy whalebone, tape and other
crimped fringes are handsome for trim
ming wooden wraps also the grass
fringes, doubled over from the top, with.
out heading.
Cords with clasp attached for catch
ing up the demi-trsaE of dress, that it
may be short enough for walking, are now
shown in colors to match costumes: price
So. Black cords are 81 so.
Jet passementeries and drop ornaments
are used as heading for fringes, also a
standing ruUe of the lace. When warmer
wraps are needed, camel's hair is used
and trimmed as richly as silk mantles.
New pocket-handkerchiefs of sheer
linen Cambria have Breton insertion
forming cross through the middle OF
the K kerchief, then passing around it as q
border, with an edge of Breton lace.
New mask wells are of Breton lace, and
may be either black or white. The net
covering the face has tiny dots wrought in
it, usually two or three in group, and
the edge is finished with Breton lace two
inches wide.
Another fancy is the scarf of India
muslin, to be worn in the street as lace
scarfs formerly were. It is outside the
wrap, tied closely around the neck, with
bow in front the ends hang down
have pleated Breton lace across them, and
are tied with narrow ribbon to give them
the appearance of tassel
