goods are the popular materials for
street wear with American women.
Lace Is the most fashionable OF all
trimmings; waistcoats are trimmed with
It, and also the lace jabot Is considered
part Of the costume.
-Polonaises and basques 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 mus. be
dark, short and unobtrusive In its gen.
eral effect; while bright colors and laces
should be worn with the house dress.
-Dressy aprons of muslin are fash
ionable for home toilette; they are trim
med with lace and bows Of ribbon, and
the one pocket is ornamented with
bow.
Two small clay pipes, decorated
with flowers and mottos, with the stems
tied in cross with blue ribbon, is the
newest chandelier pendant in fashiona-
bic houses. They are called "peace
pipes"
Satin and French bunting makes
beautiful combination for walking suits.
Lace will be used profusely on these
costumes, but 1t Is very poor taste to
wear white or colored laces on dresses
for the street.
The vest Is the distinguishing fea-
ture Of the sty fish costume, for the rea-
son that is affords excellent means Of
introducing bright and contrastive ef-
fects. Some very elegant goods, en-
broidered by the hand in brilliant colors,
are shown for vests and rerers.
jet ornaments are very stylish, par
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 posies with several old
fashioned flowers in them; punches Of
thousandleaf roses, spray Of mignon-
cite, pansy or two, marigold or 9
buttercup and few ferns are tied
together and used in bonnets or for
waist bouquets.
The "Zenobia'' armlet is q band
Of perfectly plain, smooth gold, with one
large stones either topaz or crystal, set
in band of the severest simplicity
This armlet decorates the upper arm,
and there must be pair. Its simplicity
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 fitting,
soft kid glove is considered inseparable
from lady's toilette.
The late handkerchief is almost
wholly Of lace. The center is q small
square, round or oval piece of fine linen
cambria, upon which is the owners crest
or monogram. For everyday 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 81. 900 humming birds.
$4,000 aquatic birds and 600,0O0 pairs
Of wings in one consignment, and all
these were meant for the milliners. The
humming birds tiny wings are mounted
as pin ard used to fasten. laces at the
throat and on the hat.
The most original bonnet Of the
season Is coarse straw, composed, like
Joseph's coat, Of many colors. 1t is not
at all so striking, however, as . straw
in plain blue or deep wine color. The
combination usually consists of ivory
and mastic shades, combined with dark
maroon, olive, Faience blue, paler green
and brown. The trimmings must cor
respond in every particular, the most
fashionable consisting Of q broad, full
ostrich plume, containing mixture Of
We same colors, and satin ribbon strip
d to match. OF course such hat IL
eostly, because Il Is unique and rare, and
the colors are 80 artistically blended that
It's effect il not snowy or pronounced.
Very many Of the dresses for girls
from 2 to 10 and II years old present the
effect OF kilt coat. The kilt plating Is
made up Of either very wide box or very
wide side plaits. Often these dresses
are nearly all in one piece. The trim
mings, instead Of giving princesse Of
feet, simulate . long cut-away coat with
Franklin vest extending to meet deep
kilt flounce sewed on underneath the
coat, and representing . kilt skirt.
Again, the coat effect Is brought about
on princesse dresses by the addition Of
broad pockets placed low down on the
sides. For school girls wash dresses
are made Of pretty Scotch ginghams,
percales and chintzes, with polka dota
and borders and bandana plsids. The
principle Of combination rules alike In
ladies' and children's costumes and in
I silk. wool and cotton fabrics. In all,
solid colors are made up with figured
stuffs to match. "A favorite way Of
fashioning the gay plaided bandana and
percale dresses Is In kilt skirt set on Z
