Bridal trips to Europe are now in style
and nothing less than 500 worth of flowers
must 60 with each couple.
The head of the millinery department OF
A. I. Stewart & Co., says that the bonnets
and hats of next season will be large and OF
plush and furry fat, while old gold and car
dlnal will be the standing colors.
The Sara Bernhardt fan of feathers with
two eyes of the peacock's feathers in the
centre is the favorite of the season.
Fine linen handkerchiefs are made with
colored borders of washing silk to match the
dress, the more expensive once having pleted
frills of India muslin embroidered on the
edges with colored silk floss.
If thelblondes and brunettes would but cease
trying to wear the clothes meant for persons
of different complexion! Are there no
crimson roses, no purple spikes of spicy
yellow-haired girl must deck herself with
buttercups, while "a girl with blue-black
tresses wear purple larkspurs?
Has everybody forgotten the dismal time
when a tlounce of lace was fastened to the
brim OF every girls hat, and when the poor
things all seemed to be growing cross-eyed?
That founce of lace is coming ones more,
and once more the features of the girls will
only be discernible through a cloud of black
lace.
Neither hoops nor large bustles are worn.
Slinglng skirts are quite as fashionable AS
the more boutfant styles. The fulness about
the sides of dresses is merely formed by folds
and shirrings of the dress material or some
kind of trimming. This especially appears
on very dressy toilets.
1t is admissible to 60 anywhere now witha
short dress.

Red has invaded even kid gloves. Some
imported for Fall wear are currant and
scarlet. There is an attempt to introduce
red kid shoes and slippers for home wear,
and it will not be surprising it the attempt
succeeds.
costume entirely inappropriate for a walking
dress, you will be quite safe in supposing she
comes from the West.-N. Y. Mail.
Attention to trihes make perfection, and
without care no toilet can be made perfect III
its details, is the sermOnette of dress ethics at
this moment in England.
The English Jersey" dress is an almost
seamless princess robe, fitting the form to
perfection. The sleeves are woven in and
the bodice is usually laced or buttoned to the
back. The garment has the appearance of
being moulded over the waist and sides. A
broad sash is draped over the hips where the
skirt JOINS the bodice. This dress is general
ly made of stockinet cloth. The style is pop
ular, but it is a mistake to adopt it absolutely.
To look well it requires a beautiful figure,
neither too stout or too thin. Otherwise it
has a ridiculous and ungraceful effect.
The fashionable couture is now low in the
nape Of the neck, but short women cling to
the high hair dressing.
Tue streets of New York will present a
cherkered, plaided and chess-board effect in
the early fall. OIL account of the numbers of
plaid and handkerchief suits that will be in
fashion.
Some lately imported suits have basques
cut long and square in front, with large pock-
cts set on each side in front of the hip, While
the back of the basque is cut into two short
points.
1t takes fifteen large, all-wool plaid hand
kerchiets to make a Paris handkerchief suit.
Velvet is to be the rage next winter. Satin
will be tolerated, but velvet or plush in va
rious patterns will be the popular rival.
1t is a satisfaction to observe that there are
signs yet of giving up short dresses for
street and walking wear. 1t would be rash
to predict that the filthy custom OF wearing
trains in the street will not come back, but
all clearly people will hope that the advent
of these street sweepers may be long post
poned.
