FASHION NOTES.

suits.
BRACELETS of yellow rosebuds are
worn with long black kid gloves.
KNITTED Jersey jackets, fitting like a
glove, are among the latest novelties in
ladies' wear.
PRINTED cashmeres in palms, Hindoo
coins, and shawl designs are again In
fashion for morning dresses.
WHITE astrachan, trimmed with Loop
ard skin, is an odd combination which
has appeared in the fur gowns worn in
Paris.
PERSIAN necklaces are made of five
rows of fiat gold beads, each bead
wrought in pattern different from that
of the others.
FEATHER turbans grow in popularity.
Peacock blue is the favorite shade,
though some gray ones made of OWLS
feathers are very elegant.
DINNER and evening gowns are made
with trimmings that follow the main line
of the dress, and every effort is made to
give the wearer the appearance of
stateliness.
ARTIFICIAL bouquets are worn on the
corsage, both in the house and street.
Natural flowers are preferred, but it is
not every one who can afford them in
winter.
The favorite slippers have three straps
across the foot with handsome buckles of
garnet or other colored stones. The
heel and sole are one, and the former is
placed far under the foot SO as to give it
a short appearance.
CASHMERE ties are of red India cash
mere, with the variegated ends like a
camel's hair shawl in color, and are exact
limitations on small scale of the broad
cashmere scarfs once worn by ladies.
FRENCH cashmeres, wrought all over
with polka dots of the same color, are
among the latest importations of dress
goods. They come in several colors, and
are to be used for the principal part OF
a costume that may be completed with
silk, satin or velvet.
VERY little that is new is seen in skirt
trimmings this season. Narrow hounces
are knife plated, and there are headings
and extra trimmings which consist of
delicate plaitings arranged in short,
sharp curves, which have q serpentine
effect.
THE latest novelty for dresses is bou-
quet ribbon loops. These are made of
twelve loops of different colored inch
wide satin ribbon, each loop one and a
half inches deep. They are made up
close together, similar to a bouquet of
flowers.
HAND-KNIT mittens of the soft knitting
silk used for babies stockings are nice
and pretty for school girls wear. The
! favorite colors are carried out in the
work, deep cardinal pair having cuffs
| OF old gold color, mazarine finished with
dark red, purple with fawn or gold.
PROBABLY the most unique fischus are
those of soft taffeta silk in Scotch plaid
colors, bordered with sewing silk fringe
tied in close to the edges. These are
three-cornered, and are fashionably worn
with dark wooden, silk or velvet walking
! suits.
A NOVELTY In silk ties Is in two colors,
and is woven so that the brighter color
is raised in box plaits running length
wise on the scarf. Toward the euds
the plaits fall out loosely, and The
fold of each is ornamented with tendril
or vine and bud or blossoms.
A SQUARE of guipure thrown corner
wise over the pole between two lace
trimmed curtains gives pretty finish to
the drapery. Flat bars, four or five
inches wide, covered with plain dark red
or blue velvet, with ten-inch fall of
lace below, are the handsomest headings
for curtains of any kind.
VELVET is not yet seen much in cloaks,
but is more largely employed as trim
ming, and for children, than for several
seasons previous. 1t Is by far the most
durable and becoming mounting for a
wooden costume, and is very much used
upon seal brown and the rich bronze
shades.
AN innovation III underwear is seen in
fine pink and blue flannel, beautifully
embroidered in flowers, with white floss;
other more costly underwear comes in
silk, in such colors as red, blue, rose
color and olive-green. White skirts are
no longer worn in the street Black
satin or japanese blue, scarlet, or olive
green satin or flannel takes their place.
| SKATING costumes are the gowns in
which there is the greatest call for nov
city in England just now. The wraps
worn are either ulsters or cloth jackets
with hoods lined with gay handkerchiefs,
| and beneath them is a jersey of red silk,
with velvet sleeves and skirt, and ruff1es
OF yellow lace; or a poppy-colored silk
skirt with fur trimmed mantles, and with
tunic of black cashmere lined with red,
or something equally gorgeous. A red
velvet muff trimmed with yellow lace and
gold braid. and black brocade muff
lined with red and trimmed with spray
of red berries, complete these two cos
! tunes.
