THE FASHIONS.
Notes About Spring styles.

EVERYTHING. as regar Is bonnets, is
worn.
SOME one says yellow tone" per-
vades all articles OF dress.
The heliotrope colors seem to be the
choicest ones for refined tastes.
PARAsoLs will not be nearly so fiat as
the Japanese shapes used last summer.
An authority says that white skirts
are no longer worn so as to be visible.
WRAPPISGs are as varied as dresses,
and there is no longer an exclusive
style.
GRENADINES with velvet ball spots or
else brocaded satin balls are very
stylish.
Polka dotted stufis are very fashion
able, they appear in bunting, tamise-
cloth, and camel s-hair.
BLUE will be less used than II has been
OF late, excepting very pale peacock blue
/ in combination with gilt.
LEIRsUCEER ginghams are a. popular
as ever and are trimmed with open pat
terms OF white Hamburg embroidery.
ScqTcH ginghams will be much used
| for dresses, in the clear blue shades that
wash 30 well, in combinations OF striped
blue and white with plain light blue.
STOCKINGS are now made in all colors
| and combinations vi color that enter IN
/ TO other fabrics. The open work or
I cable cord thread hose are the newest.
SILK kerchiefs bordered with lace in
sorting, a band OF silk jardiniere EN-
| broidery, another band OF lace inserting
/ and border OF lace are the latest fancy
for the neck.
DREssY costumes for street wear dur
ing the spring and early summer are
| made with a surtout, or redlngote, a. 1t
| also called, and full short skirt border
ed with narrow pleatings.
PARAsoIs ~ ACCORD WITH COSTUME AND
COMPLEXION.
Parssols are made in all the combina.
tons Of Colors and styles that prevail in
millinery and dress goods, the leading
idea being 10 have the parasol correspond
either with the hat or the prevailing
tone Of the costume or else 10 present a.
marked Q contrast n possible. II the
costume is composed OF Oriental fabrics
the parasol NAV be- OF black satin lined
with old gold, cardinal sapphire, blue or
heliouope. One point in this connection
must not be overlooked, however, in Sc
lecting a parasol: il should not only har.
| monte with the costume, but with the
complexion. Old gold will tone the
brilliAncy OF too vivid brunette, but
add considerably 10 the pallOr OF CON-
plexion that has lost its youthful fresh
ness. A cardinal lining casts roseate
hue on the face forgelful OF its earliest
bloom: blue and violet or heliotrope
contrast effectively with the clear pink
and white OF blushing maidenhood,
Black is usually becoming 10 those faces
/ OF neutral tint that have neither the tone
of youth nor the character OF brunette OF
| blonde. Oriental mixtures may also be
used advantageously by almost all ladies
il they will take pains TO select those IN
which the predominant color suits theii
style OF beauty. Club handles arr
things Of the past In parasols; the sticks

gentlemen's walking sticks, being nesthei
excessively small nor large; ivory prctti

sticks, with an inlSid ball OF ivory at the

quainiest conceits is a cherry stick with
