Fashion Notes.


berry, are all fashionable shades O
red.
Facing of flowers of one sort ar
seen on few of the capotes, whit
violets, spirea or pink hawthorn
having pretty youthful effect.
The opera bonnet, with higl
crown and no brim to speak of, is
style which has taken the popula
taste, and in consequence is hardl,
to be found at the millinery shops
Kerchiets of oriental damask trim
the black hats and turbans in ere
ole style, that is, bound over tn,
crown with ends knotted to show
the bright gold-threaded borders
and corners.
Nosegays of mixed garden flow
ers, bluets, mignonette and half
blown roses or heliOtrope, lilies o.
the valley and daffodils, are the
flower decorations on peculiarly
French bonnets.
Marabout tufts tipped with the
haums of real oats, delicately
cleansed and bleached, are among
the finest and lightest trimmings OF
the season, and in much better
taste than the gold and silver tipped
plumes.
Bright gold lace and braid are
rather too brilliant for most uses,
and the best millinery gives prefer
ence to straw filagree braids OF
deep yellow, which take the effect
of dead gold laid over silks or on
the edge of bonnets.
Gold nets of strong mesh and
gold edgIng in thread lace edgings
are brilliant materials, used in puffs
and bOrderings for rough black
straw and black cactus braids,
which last have quite a style of
their own this season.
Fanchons of India silk, with soft
curled fringe in cashmere colors,
are seen as drapery for spring bon
nets. Kerchiefs of cut silk netting,
deeply fringed, are thrown over the
crown of bonnets, and are often the
only trimming.
Edgings of single flower sewn in
a row on the outside of the brim
are a fancy in trimming bonnets.
A border of violets or small butter
cups, or the fiorets of lilacs, are sem
in this chain of edging, the stems
braided neatly together and invis
IDLE.
Rouge cloth, a fine cotton with
firm thread, dyed a sanguinary red,
the true and republican color, will
be used with dark blue and buff lin
ems for summer dress in pleatings
and scarf draperies, much as the bro
cades are blended with satin, in
more expensive dresses.
Square handkerchiefs of twilled
silk, with black or dark blue square
centers wrought In gold thread and
wide borders of changeablc red and
blue, appear among the new millin-
cry materials. The embroidered
center is laid on the crown and the
ends caught into bows and fans in
trimming.
An inexpensive model is an OPP
ra bonnet of black cactus with a |
Fellow straw thread woven into it.
The inch of brim allows literally no |
ace trimming, but single black and |
fellow buttercups are sewn on the |
dge, all round the bonnet, after the
lew fancy. A scarf of gold busted
lack tulle thrown across the front |
md held by lace pin at the right,
With cluster of the buttercups and !
allow pompoon far back on the
eff, and the ends of the tulle hang
ng straight, yard long behind.
Mixed straws of yellow, red and
blue, with more yellow, trimmed
With chine ribbons or loops of mar
'ow ribbons in three colors, held by
ong pins as fiat and precise as if it
we're one wide ribbon, opens the
wear styllshly. Such bon
lets agree coquettishly with the
Japanese blue cashmere dresses,
With jackets whose large scarf fronts
ire worked in cross stitch in pink
sh reds, white and buff, and the
Ipron front In two bands of the
same embroidery. heading deep,
,urled, many colored fringe.
Among the latest novelties is
pongee for tea gowns. |
The dresses are of the darker India |
with deep collar and fronts
worked with red and blue washing
ilks in sampler stitch, with twist
ID and Melted fringe of the travelled |
,ongee, with bright threads tied in
o suit the colors. A red silk fichu,
With the long ends tucked in the
'elt and corners coming be.ow it,
aries out the negligee character
# the dress. AS both fabric and |
will wash, and are du-
able, it is evident the dress will do
ervice to the sort of active, dash
ng lady who is said to take it out
# her gowns"
The opera bonnet in mixed
raids and fancy straws is the
lost becoming dress shape of the
eason, the narrow brim in front
howing the dressing of the front
air and resting on it, the sides de-
'ressed and fitting very closely. 1t
equires a trimming on the edge, Ell
her single flowers or gold lace, and
scarf of gold spotted tulle or lace
8 thrown across the front, held at
he right by bar pin in jet or gold,
he long ends caught by a brooch
n the back and hanging straight
'ehind, while a cluster of flowers or
pompon is at the left side. 1t is
s easily trimmed as it is graceful,
Which endears. it to ladies who make
