for fatigue costumes.
Prunc de monsieur, the new reddish
shade of mauve, is a very fashionable
color for dinner and reception dresses,
combined with deep pansy-colored velvet
Sailor hats, trimmed with wide band
Of ribbon, with some upright loops at
one side, are the latest revival for young
ladies' wear.
The small capote bonnets and French
toques are still at the height of style for
elegant dress. They certainly have a
more full dress air than the wide
brimmed hat or poke bonnet.
In the arrangement of the couture,
heavy bangs, "Montagues,n or thick
rings of hair, are now considered ''bad
form" by the most fashionable people,
and only the lightest, babyish fluff of
hair now shades the forehead.
Ribbon in velvet, MORE, and satin is
worn in the greatest profusion on dresses
and mantles as sashes, fot-bows for
draping scarfs and tunics, papillon bows
scattered over founces and puffings,
and loops pendant over killings, peeping
from amid waves of lace or forming the
edge to bodice and tunic.
Half-high bodices are coming rapidly
into favor for evening wear. They are
cut away about three inches from the
neck all around, and are usually worn
with lace, or transparent beaded sleeves,
which reach to the gloves that quite

taire gloves continuing still to be the
height of style.

with a monochrome color, and plain
beiges in colors of pale silver-gray, re-
soda, fawn-color, terra Gotta, and ocean
blue, frightened by ruchings which show
CLEAN of scarlet or old gold in their
facings. Skirts of plain wooden, with
polonaises, habits and tunics of wooden
Pekin, with satin strips in Oriental col
oring, also compose very ladylike COS
tunes.
Some of the newly-imported polo
naises are made with open bodices
square or heart-shaped, or in long V,
the point reaching to the belt. The
opening is usually edged with a plated
ruching. or with embroidery Or applique
bands of beaded work. Underneath
this opening is worn aplastron of velvet
or chemisette of lace. The pannier-
aise is still in high fashion, this mode
being in the shape of pointed bodice
with panniers applied by gaugings OF
flat plaits laid over the hips,
A singular fashion is that of wearing
officers collars and cuffs of red embroid.
cred with gold over walking jackets OF
cloth, surcot, or stOckinet. But few
ladies will venture to adopt this mascu-
line feature of dress, and those who dc
will have to exercise the greatest care in
not OVERRIDING the matter in the selection
of these two very conspicuous colors, the
darkest of red and the least gaudy OF

embroidered sets have appeared
mostly on coats of dark laurel-greer
