FASHION NOTES.

A velvet season Is predicted for the
coming winter. r-a -
Small birds will be much used in mil
linery next season.
Electric blue, hussar blue and moss
green's are not on the cards for the fall.
The favorite Partisan contrast in sum-
mer toilettes is lavender or deeper vio-
let with ficelle lace Of the purest haxen
gray. ....t ..
The newest trimming ribbons are the
ottoman reps of thick yet soft quality,
in widths varying from two inches TO
five or six.
Small falling ornaments of black or
colored beads are much used for dress
trimmings. They serve for such pur-
poses as to adorn the inside OF hollow
plaits and the centre OF small lace ro-
settles.
The most useful travelling gloves are
not the Giants de Suede, which soil d.
rectIy, but thick ordinary kid of the
natural ecru color, without buttons, but
of six. buttoned length, brought outside
the sleeve.
For railways and steamboats, useful
loose ulsters of India silk are extern
siyely used by ladies abroad. They slip
on and off easily, are inexpensive and
very light.
Redingotes are in very general de-
mand. They are not very much like
the former polOnaise, but as they are OF
all kinds of fancy fabrics, they have
very different aspect. A great number
were seen at the Partisan races. &C..
Abroad the bonnet most worn by mar
ried ladies is the Yankee, with shirrlngs
of light surah and very thick wreath OF
flowers round the crown. 1t is made or
several sizes, and either semi-conical
or rounded crown, while the Lorder Is
more or less wide.
Kan ST was the first lady who carried
a fan. She lived in ages which IRE past
and for the most part forgotten, and she
was the daughter of a Chinese man.
DARN. Whoever saw a mandarin, even
on a tea chest, without his fan?
The English shoe, laced over the in
step, now often takes the place of the
summer boot. The Moliere shoe with
strap and button, is more dresSy, and
looks we'll with the dainty stocking,
which now forms an important feature
of the toilet.
Sleeves to be pretty should be short
and tight. The tailleur.shaped waist
worn with plain lingerie is the only style
admitting a rather long sleeve. The
arm size must be cut with great care, as
il should sit we'll over the shoulder and
and not fall upon the upper part OF the
arm.
Mercedes muslin is new fine sheer
wool fabric as thin as nuns yelling, yet
with figures like those of ticelle lace and
Irish embroidery. 1t comes in natural
fiaX-cOlor of ficelle, and is made up
over pale blue, dark blue, or pink satin.
The trimming is ficelle lace laid over
pleatings of the satin.
Young girls frequently wear, to COM
plete dressy toilet, the bodice of
which is plain, pretty rounded tichus,
or large collars of muslin or cambria,
with two, three, or four rows of white
lace. These fichus are often made with
two lapels, which are overlapped and fas-
tened with one or two sprays OF flowers.
The idea of the moment at English
weddings is to surround a bride with
bridesmaids in colOred dresses. The
bride, for instance, wears dress OF
white MORE, and her maids, hal -" d%"-
on of thvLI, costumes or ruby TINT. Inc
contrast is very brilliant, and the bride
stands out among her bevy of brides
maids, particularly if she is pretty,
like an angel oflight.
Old German, Grecian and Roman
medals, genuine or in fine imitation,
are very fashionably worn as necklaces,
bracelets and chatelaines. Some OF
there are arranged in solid rows one
over the other, and worn as dog collars,
close around the throat, or are linked
together with very delicate silver
chains, from which fall long silver pen
dants, beautifully chased.
The ficelle lace designs on uncut vel
vet are the special novelties for rich
dresses. These resemble the ottoman
velours, and are shown in delicate
shades of pale blue, Nile green, laven-
der and crerette Tor shrimp pink for
the uncut pile on which are the shadowy
gray ficelle figures, arabesques, flowers,
vines, etc, that seem as light as web
of lace Just thrown upon the raised
surface
Tourniers are neither larger nor small
er than they have been. The petit
coats against which they are made are
perfectly flat in front, with the marrow
piece down the back and covered with
fiOunces placed one above the other.
They become wider toward the lower
part and are trimmed with lace. The
object of this petticoat is to throw the
skirt out in a graceful curve.
Plain dark-colored satinette Is now
more fashionable that the printed
satinettes in large tlowery patterns.
1t is trimmed with open-works en-
broidery (broderic AngtaSSe), worked
in silk of the same color. The favOrite
shades are dark blue and green garnet
red. The skirt-front is much trimmed
with narrow flounces and puffings
framed in on each side by bands of en-
broidery: the back is arranged into sag
| Sipg puffs. The bodice and sleeves are
much trimmed with embroidery.
