FASHIONS FREAKS.
JET lace is very fashionable.

LANGUEDoC is the newest lace.
THE peacock fan train is revived.
RUBY colored kid gloves are among the
novelties.
The most popular overskirt takes the
name of the Tallien.
PERFORATED kids, lace tops, appear on
new kid gloves.
PLUSH collars and cuffs will be much
worn on early spring dresses and wraps.
HANDSOME jetted bonnets are worn
with carriage, reception, church, and full
dress promenade toilets.
ANYTHING may be worn that is pretty
or becoming without putting the wearer
out of fashion.
THE fashion of having the corsage of
different materials from the skirt will pre-
vail in the spring.
WRAPPERS are shirred on the shoulders
and all in straight, full widths, and are
only belted or shirred in at the waist.
FUR turbans are worn by young ladies,
trimmed with bands of feathers, or
when fur bands are used, with wing or
fancy feather on one side.
PEARL gray satin with trimmings of
OIOS6iSlC 40 d. IONCI CSl1IbAlA-
alton of colors and material for married
ladies.
WITH fancy costumes this winter are
worn silk stockings, embroidered in gold
and silver thread and very small span
giles.
Lone black kid gloves are worn with
all black toilets; the cream and ivory
tints and very pale primrose are the fash
ionable shades IN light colors.
The silk hats formerly worn only with
riding habits are now seen with carriage
and walking costumes, and are almost al
ways unbecoming, giving the face hard,
masculine look.
CLUSTERS of chestnuts and leaves, in
satin and velvet, or acorns and leaves,
are used for trimmings, the color being
entirely natural, though the materials are
not.
The novelty destined to the greatest
popularity in fancy spring goods is the
printed India cashmeres, in small multi
colored pine patterns over light
ground.
The new picture mats of picked gold
add handsomely to sketches in oils and
fine colored photographs, but should not
be used for engravings, as the contrast of
the gold gives them an inky cast.
The prettiest and most preferred caps
for little girls are the French muslin
tucked caps, with the tucks sewed by
hand, and lines of fine needlework be-
tween the clusters.
The favorite bonnet in Paris just now
is handkerchief shaped. It is made of
red or black satin, covered by rows and
of Breton lace, and with loops of satin
ribbon forming bow at the neck.
TRAINS are again gradually assuming
the peacock shape, round and spreading,
instead of an Unfortunately long and mar
row breadth trailing after the wearer and
seeming as if it might be the result of an
accident.
LONG lace jabots extending below the
point of the corsage and buttOned up
within the bodice at the waist line and
cropping out above and below that point,
are worn with dressy home toilets in the
evening.
AMONG novelties shown are white en-
broideries, edgings and insertions III sets
of four and five widths for trimming
white dresses. The widest are for the
skirt, the next for the t1lnic and the third
for the basque, while the narrowest edge
is meant to serve as heading to hounces
and rufles above bands of insertion.
BoNNETs that are slightly shabby or
soiled may be pleasantly transformed by
covering them with wide scarf of lace,
allowing one edge to fall over the fore
head while the other is gathered at the
back, and the ends are tied under the
chin. This fashion is prettier than that
Of wrapping the bonnet in blue garze.
A YARD and half of two-inch ribbon
is required to make the six-looped bows
now worn for the hair. Striped black
velvet and satin and MORE ribbons are
preferred, unless the ribbon is chosen to
match the dress or trimming. Black vel
vet and gold or crimson satin ribbon are
used together, in Spanish taste, in some
new bows.
SMALL stuffed birds and butterflies of
silk, brought from China, are new and
costly ornaments for the hair. They are
made of bits of blue, red and yellow silk,
jauntily touched up with crimped gold
wire. Their length is three inches, and
this does not include the upright crimped
wire tail feathers or in the butterflies the
projecting feelers.
A STYLISH silk suit, made to order, has
the front breadths full shirred by per-
pendicular clusters of tucked shirring.
The foot of the short skirt is bordered by
fine knife plaitings, with rose plating for
heading. Princess bodice, with panier
drapery, fastened to the edge in front and
Topped back over third sash, which
forms the back drapery. The sashes are
edged with beaded passamenteries and
have jet fringe on the ends. Small jetted
passamenterie buttons and three-quarter
sleeves, finished by passamenterie and
plaitings.
