FASHIONABLE FANc,Es.

SWISS belts of velvet or satin form q
pretty adjunct to the toilets of young
ladies'.
ARMY blue, caroubier, fcelle, or wine
color, and dafodil yellow are among
popular shades.
A BRIDES travelling dress is of pearl
gray cashmere and chamois leather en-
btollered in steel.
MANTn1As and mantles will be worn
when the spring wraps, the lolmans aud
English walking jackets are laid aside.
VERY long stocking mitts in tan, Itch
en-, green, flesh and almond tiots, and
also in black aud white, will be much
worn when the weather becomes warm
enough.
A NEW grenadine gauze WOODEN fabric
reproduces all the popular designs in
Spanish lace. 1t is used for overdresses.
1t is only half the price of the real silk
Spanish piece lace.
DARK red and gray cashmeres are given
in some of the recently imported toilets
for this seasons wear. You will see gray
combined with scarlet and copper tints,
and blue with dark green.
The latest caprice in Paris is the wear
ing Of huge collars and cuffs crocheted
of Irvine or linen thread. They are worn
over dark wooden dresses, with O narrow
white lace or liese ruche above the collar
around the neck and below the cuffs
around the wrists.
SINCE mourning dress has been modi-
ted by using the lighter French mourn
ing in preference to the heavy English
styles formerly adopted, the eamal's hair
cloths without luster and the fine black
cashmeres worn by ladies in colors have
been utilized for mourning dresses.
BLUE wells may be fashionable, they
may be pretty, they may be cheap and
all that; but no lady should wear a blue
veil if she wears one for what veil
should be worn for, and that is protec-
ton to the face. The blue color admits
the actinic ray, which is an enemy to
fair complexion and the cunning and in
sidious ally to freckles, tan color, and
chemical action on the cuticle.
DEEP.collars and shoulder cuffs are
becoming more and more fashionable.
A pretty spring model for a young girl
is the incroyable pelerine of plush, with
two simulated collars trimmed on each
edge with narrow putting of satin. In
front the cape is fastened with bow and
long ends of wide satin ribbon. These
capes are also made of MORE or velvet.
Whatever the material may be, the capes
are invariably of q monochrome color.
The last, best gift to women who do
their own shopping, the ulster, is as pop
ular as ever, and this spring is made up
OF handsome goods of every kind from
the notified cheviots to the fine cloth
fabrics in fashionable colors to match
walking suits of flannel, the favorite
shade being of dark myrtle green, tailor
made, and trimmed only with double
row of gold washed buttons partly COW
cred with green enamel. These dark
green listers are both lady like and SER
viceable, and are considered the most ele-
giant Of all the varied styles of utility
wraps.
DEMoREsT for April says: The favor
lite colors for spring suits are very dark
shades OF bronze, green, brown, olive,
prune and wine-color. The "new"
shade is lighter, a dingy green, known
as g lichen" green. Blue is also in the
ascendant, dull old china blue, which
is lower in tone than the gendarme, but
akin to it. Dark blue cloth is used for
walking, with deep coat basque, lined
with red satin, red satin lining to cuffs
and collar, thecorners to which are turned
outward; red buttons. The very dark
tones and the rich blending of all high
colors render it possible for all colors to
b. made becoming to all compilations.
There is no longer the same difficulty as
formerly when a few high crude colors
were prominent; and blue was set down
as the only color possible for blondes,
while brunettes revealed in pink, maroon
or yellow
