FASHIONABLE FANClES.


The sleeve which is gathered at the
top and has rufde at the wrist is Span
ish. sH- er
New scrap-bags are shaped like great
vase, and trimmed with acorns, bows and
balls of many colors. .-s
SOME of the new bonnets are called
"snipes." That must be on account of
the length of the bill.
A MULTITUDE of fanciful bracelets.
bizarre necklaces and insects, mounted
as pins, are worn with all toilets.
The founces of some French silk
gowns for summer are ravelled into
fringes instead of being hemmed
Moss cloth, a cream white stuff with
velvety stripes, is a new material for
polonaises, to be worn with thin white
skirts.
TRANSPARENT stuffs will be worn over
light summer silks to match for elegant
toilet, and over cotton satines for simple
dresses.
GRAPE is no longer sacred to mourn
ing, and new style gown of Grape.
made up over cloth, is seen at entertain
ments at which people in mourning
would not dare to appear.
STEEL ornaments are the only kind fit
to wear with a steel trimmed dress, and
ladies are murmuring that there are no
steel bracelets to be had, lace pins, comb
and earrings being all that the manufac-
tuners have provided as yet.
The latest artistic absurdity is a black
parasOl having one colored division, on
which is painted a palette with a pic
ture of dogs head. Parasol handles
In the form of sword hits or champagne
corks are in not much better taste.
The ordinary handkerchief will not do
to slip in the pocket Of the cloaks which
the beauties intend to have wrapped
around them this summer as they step
out of the sea. It must be q handker-
chief with deeply-pointed border.
LACE is now made in all colors of pink
and blue, and valenciennes laces are seen
for the trimming of printed muslins,
and twine lace is in preparation, very
fine, but Irvine nevertheless, and in its
natural color. It is designed for the
trimming of linen dresses.
EMBRoIDERIEs are so fine and pretty
this season that it hardly seems as Il
they were made by machine, so perfect
ly do they rival the finest efforts of the
skilled needlewoman. Each handsome
pattern is now shown in graduated de-
signs, with insertions to match. Thus
the patchy effect Of seeing several styles
of work IN one garment is avoided.
There is a fancy for embroideries that
simulate lace. Diamonds of lace work
alternating with medalions of close
work is one of the prettiest of the wider
patterns.
A PRETTY summer toilet for a young
lady is of printed muslin de laine, white,
sprigged with blue. The skirt is gath
cred round the waist into a deep but
very full hounce, and continued into four
more founces, each edged with band Of
blue glace surah. The bodice is closely
shirred in at the waist, then continued
into fully plated tournure. In front,
it is gathered on each side with shir-
the surah. At the neck it is finished
with close-shirred collar, opening in
front, with small revers of surah, and is
filled in with little ruches. The sleeves
have shirred cuffs, finished with band
of surah. brooklyn Eagle.
AMERICAN as well as European ladies
are scintilating in perfect armor of jets
and beads. Whole cuirass bodices, tab
iers, skirts, panels, dolmans, shoulder
capes, bonnets and slippers, are covered
with beaded embroidery. Elegant cos
tunes of black are sparkling like "coats
of mai" with dense covering of jet and
steel, and delicate toilets of white bro
cade, satin and tulle, are embellished
with marvellous designs wrought in beads
of pearl, gold, silver, crystal and other
beads resembling costly gems. Tabliers,
panels and portions of the corsage are
each worked with a special design COM
posed to suit its particular shape al
though uniform on the whole.
