Late Fashion Notes.


cred all over both bodice and skirt.
Black velvet is much used for trim
ming dresses Of shepherds plaid.
Loops and ends of satin ribbon are
added to skirt and corsage bouquets.
Laces, dyed in all the fashionable
shades of color, are seen upon costly i'm
ported bonnets and round hats.
For evening, feather tips arranged
in the hair and upon the corsage, fas-
tened in place by diamond pins or
brooches, are worn with full-dress
| toilets.
Monastic. costumes, really beautiful
in style, are still worn by many ladies of
elegant tastes. These dresses are Just
at present made of black or gray nuns
cloth or vigogne.
Panniers and pointed bodices dis
pute the majority with trimmed skirts
and habit basques, the latter either of the
same material as the dress skirt or other
wise distinct, thong showing
some link of connection in color.
For tall and slender young ladies is
the new French mantelet cut in exceed
ingly graceful curves, and trimmed
around with feathery ruche bordering
of fringed silk, These wraps are made
of black brocaded gauze, the figures
being of raised flowers of velvet OF che
mile.
The turban-shaped toque is essentially
the travelling hat of the season. 1t is
very often made of the material match
ing the dress, or of fine straw, trimmed
simply with twisted scarf of figured
surah, or bright-colored pheasant's
feathers laid smoothly over the crown.
Ripe red or pale yellow tomatoes and
also natural sized green cages appeared
last season among the very eccentric gar
nitures upon French bonnets. A novel
ly this season from the vegetable world
is bunch of articholzes set among
green leaves, over which is apparently
crawling most unpleasantly natural
looking red and yellow caterpillar, made
to be sure, of chenille and wool, but
too realistic in appearance to be very
pleasing to the taste of most people.
Deep-red satin mantles are imported
which look exceedingly like matador' S
cloak They are loaded with black
Spanish lace and jet trimmings, which
help to tone down their too brilliant hue.
Red satin sunshades trimmed with black
lace are to be carried by the wearer of
these wraps. A great many extremely
CONSPICUOUS garments and dress acces-
SORES are exhibited designed for water
ing-place use, which would be deemed
altogether cloud and inappropriate in
town.
Among the novelties in small wares
are varied collection of rich colored
beads styled Venetian, which, though
very pretty in themselves, probably
never hailed from the romantic shores
of the Adriatic. These little barrel-like
beads have curious figures traced upon
them, the mixed coors combined in each
necklace being very well adapted to the
| vari-colored costumes now so popularity
worn by young people. A single row Of
} beads is sufficient for necklace. These
beads are held together by tiny chains o.
antique silver Necklaces to correspond
with the toilet are very much worn, anC
as assorted real gems are not Away!
available nor desirable even for genera
| wear, the Venetian beads enable people
to follow the fashion without much ex
pense or fear of robbery.
! One of the most beautiful garden
party costumes exhibited thus far thi
season is short prncesse dress o
cream-white silk, scattered over witt
half-open pink roses. The skirt part
: Just below the pointed waist in front
, displaying beneath a pink satin petit
,, coat, covered with white lace founces
headed by artificial pink rosebuds -th
exact color of the blossoms upon tn
silken fabric-with sprays of tende
green foliage forming floral firing
dropping over the lace founces. Th,
, corsage is similarly adorned with lac
j and flowers. The hat is of cream
colored Italian braid, with low, rount
, crown covered with lace and rosebuds
and the inside of the brim is faced will
y, pale pink satin. The white silk paraso
= is trimmed with a deep ruffle of lac,
around the edge, and branch of bus
roses is tied to the top of the stick wit
pink ribbon matching the shade of tn
satin lining.
l Pink is a color that promises to rag
this season in every grade of dres
. goods. There are so many shades O
= this popular hue that every taste can b
suited, although there are many tint
!. cool and exquisite, that are far more t
:, be desired by any one making a selection
i than the very deep colors that are be
coming to neither pale blonde nor ros
brunette. A stylish laurel-pink toile
! made simply of fine French organdi
u has the short skirt covered with ruffies
;. the lower edges of each being cut i
: scallops and bound, and underneat
: these scallops is set tiny frill of Valer
: ciennes lace about an inch and hal
a deep. A long-pointed bodice of tn
= shirred muslin terminates in front in
