FASHION NOTES.

-
favor in the world of fashion.
Deep yokes of White Hamburg embroid4
cry are pretty with light colored bingham
dresses for young children.
Pink silk stockings and low-cut patent
leather shoes are considered to be in high
style with archery costumes.
Young ladies in Paris dress almost en-
tirely in white costumes. When color is
worn it is seen upon the sash, or in the
floral garniture.
Nantes next fall will be all lined with
some bright color, gold, red, blue or pink.
Gold will be first choice. Velvet will be
the principal material.
The large Mother Hubbard lace collars,
in all their variations, have had wonder
full popularity. They are preferred to
crepe lisse for hot weather.
Some Jersey dresses have entire scarfs of
embroidery on self material. This is nota-
bly, the case with nuns yelling and pongee,
the skirts of which are killed.
All the members of the Bug family are
now represented in silver sjewelry, beauti-
fully colored oftentimes. Some of the bugs
are extraordinary looking, but not hand-
some.
Null finds renewed lease of life as a
trimming for shade hats. 1t is easily put
| on, is inexpensive, and charmingly appro-
pirate, on hats for young girls and even
elderly ladies.
Satin Is on the wane as a dress sabric,
and next season it will be superseded by
other goods, notably rep silk, which are
soft and yielding, and yet appear heavy
| from the thick cords from them.
Null neckties are passe. Ribbons, from
/ one to two inches wide, are passed around
| the neck inside the dress collar and out
| side of the linen collar. They are tied
| in a very large bow of two long loops and
| two longer ends.
Among the summer wooden goods beige
| cashmeres. dotted with eggs, interlaced
| rings and tufts. are very popular. Eng
| fish crepe is a rival of nuns yelling for
| thin dresses. Trimmed with a profusion
| of ribbon i. is a very effective.
Froeging are becoming exceedingly
popular either for dresses or jackets; in
black they form the prominent ornament
of the fashionable tailor-made costume
called the weston militaire of navy blue
cloth so very serviecable for travelling and
| everyday wear.
French evening dresses of soft white
Victoria silk are sometimes arranged with
y
ing the bodice diagonally, and then form
inc a paner at one side while at the other
side a lighter material of striped gauZe,
sprangled tuIle, or lace is also draped q
panier.
Feather ornaments will be worn next
| season again. if the fact that one leading
Paris miiliner has contracted for the skins
of 30 900 pigeons for the adornment OF
hats and bonnets counts. The birds are
to be caught in all parts of Germany, and
dealers in game in Berlin are filing the
| orders.
OF all the modes of bonnets introduced
| in the beginning of the season, the one
which has proved the most popular is the
| trim little French bonnet of last year, in
notifications; the capote, the jaunty lit
| tie princess, and a shape much resembling
the Marie Stuart bonnet, but not so pro
nounced in its pointed dent upon the brim-
1t is said that embroidery will be used
| in great profusion on winter wooden dress
| goods. Polka dots will be enlarged to
| great balls that resemble embroidery,
| though they are wrought by machinery
| Self colors will be used in dress goods in
preference to figures. Heavy gros grain
silks and taffetas win be the choice over
/ satin lustrous silks.
Cachemire pattern bands are quite in
| favor and are likely to be more so as the
autumn approaches. Most of these i'm
| ported Indian trimmings, with dress fabric
| en- suite. are of sufficiently high price to
| add considerable value to the possession
| of toilet of this kind. These rich orr
entail trimmings are employed only on
| dark dresses, or those of neutral tint.
Black fables, satins, poplins, watered
silk, and also thinner materials, such as
| grenadines, silk gauzes, and tulle, are all
| in high fashion. Black silk skirts covered
| with grenadine plisses and boullionnes,
| and accompanied by silk or satin casaques
or iacauettes trimmed with black Spanish
| lace and Jet, make thoroughly elegant
toilets. enabling the wearer to vary them
by colored trimmings and floral garniture
if desired.
Painted lace is very much employed Oh
light dresses of one or more colors, such as
pale blue marveilleux and pale pink More:
the painted lace, colored to correspond
with these two shades, would, however,
only be used to trim the principal portions
of the dress-the sleeves, bodice, ana
edgings, to the drapery. The flounces,
panels, or anything requiring large
amount of garniture, would be of the same
lace with the designs left uncolored.
The short skirts for the summer are
trimmed at the edge with voluminous
ruches, chicorees, shell plaits, Coquilles.
