year. 1t was built in 1868 and was owned
by c. b. Snyder 4 Co. of New York. Loss

Fashion Notes.


Scarf drapery gains in favor. Pagoda
sleeves are again worn. Plaid suits should
be simply made Marmot is the name of a
new plush. The favorite jacket is the Louis
XIV. The dark shades are most popular in
bead trimming. A new wine color for au-
tumn wear is very soft and pretty. Bead col
lars finished with fringe are worn with
black gowns. Kerchefs of beaded net will
be worn in the street this winter. Cravats
of Madras surah are pretty to wear with black
dresses Lace is frilled, but not plated on
outside garments this winter. Nufis are to
be large this winter to correspond with the
bonnets. The quantity of artificial flowers
worn for throat boquets increases. Basques
worked in jet will be worn with skirts OF all
kinds this winter. Ribbons eighteen inches
wide can be bought this winter if one wants
them. Detached sailor collars are worn with
garments of all styles and materials. One
of the new polonaises buttons up at the side
and has leg-of-mutton sleeves. Wells dotted
with black, white, red and old gold chenille
are to be worn this winter. The greatest
novelty in checked goods is the combination
OF dark violet and green. Spencer waists
and plaid skirts with scarf drapery compose
some OF the new autumn suits. Thin wrap
pers are now lined with bright color, which
shows through their transparent folds Hand
kerchiets have their lace borders stitched on
with gold thread, or silks of many colors
Violet and current red are the fashionable
tints for bright colored jackets to be worn
with white skirts. Spanish lace worked in
gold instead of black silk is made up with
Diack velvet for evening costumes.
