japanese articles of all kinds have been
very fashionable for long time, and it
is, no doubt, owing to their popularity
that the same fanciful designs have now
been applied to toilet articles. 10 ma
tsrials with Japanese spots are now added
handsome batistes adorned with the fan
ciful flowers of "Sikok" and @Kiou-
Sou Japanese sunshades have Already
beemseen. Oriental designs retain their
hold.on public favor. Most beautiful
gauzes and laces are, employed for TRIM
mings, and the brooches called Mosaic ues
OfieatalesS' make the richest draperies
and strings. A straw capote in scarabee
dor trimmed with these draperes and
mosaic strings, has on the left side a
bunch Of shaded poppies, shading from
dark brown to the gold color from which
the scarabee dor derives its name.
The most popular colors with modistes
are heliotrope, "eapucine" and brass,
otherwise called "amaranthe." This
new shade of heliotrope can scarcely be
described; it is in the highest tint of the
flower and very pale. There are plumes
in this color in all the shades of the
flower, and they produce the exact ef-
feet of bunch of heliotropes. The
popularity of this color has brought into
vogue all flowers in these shades, such
as pansies, violets, lilacs and hyacinths.
As "capucine" is also a much favored
color, some of these flowers are made in
"capucine" shades. There are beautiful
pansies, shaded, as we'll as hyacinths and
poppies, producing a very fine effect.
"Amaranthe" contrasts we'll with gold.
A new model for a spring hat is a
"Gainsborough," combing "amaranthe"
and gold. The brim is much raised in
front, and lined with "amaranthe" "-col-
ored shirred satin. Around the crown is
| is piece of rich amarantha and gold
broche goods. On the left side is large
bunch of plumes OF the same color,
which droop in every direction, Golden
lace and gauze are used in the greatest
prrfusionon Partisan bonnets. The Aida
capote has the brim setting close to the
head. 1t is trimmed with black tulle,
beaded with jet. The crown is shirred,
and trimmed with drapery of satin.
The strings are Of black satin. The
feather "pompons'' on the side of the
bonnet have jet on the top. Another
style is the "Fanchon Gisele" Of hello
trope satin. The crown is of satin,
draped on very full. The brim is of
satin, covered with Alencon lace, which
also forms the strings. Down the side is
long white ostrich plume, and in the
center, on top of the drapery, are two
parroquets facing each other.
Two Of the newest models for caps are
described as follows: The Fanchon cap
is of strong white tulle, surrounded by
imitation Alencon. Falling over the
front hair are two rows of lace. On the
RIGHT side is small ribbon velvet bo W.
On the top of the crown are long loops
with ends falling to the back Of the cap.
The second model is for an elderly lady
and Of peacock-blue surah. The bask is
shirred crosswise. The brim is formed
of foulard drapery, fastened down with
ornaments; this drapery also forms the
strings. 1t is bordered top and bottom
with bretonne lace; the cape is trimmed
with the same lace. Above the cape are
four rows Of shirring.
1t is still the fashion to have all por.
tions of the toilet to match. The bonnets
have trimmings matching in color and
design the trimmings Of the dress. A
fabric called tissu damasquine" is
among the new materials; it consists Of
lines crossing each other in many direc
, tions, A material suitable for young
ladies' dress is gray or beige eoloree
goods, with small red or blue brochs
dots. All kinds of foulard are to bt
