FASHION WRINKLES.

The latest fashion in cutting French oodices.
HELIOTRoPE silk shading to gold makes an
exquisite toilet combined with black velvet
The NEWEST BoDICEs are geve-ftting, with
large and full paniers around the hips
BONNET STRINGS are made OF very wide rib
bon, tied in a butterfly bow under the chin
tbs LATEST NORTON is to wear small fancy
bOrdered handkerchief peepng out OF small
pocket on the right or left hip.
The DIVIDED SHIRT introduced into London
b. Lady HabbertOn is worn In the mountain re-
pions by the most fearless lady climbers.
H,SpKERCHIEFs with very minute colored
borders and the name embroidered i'm color
to match that of the border, are very popular.
BLACK Chantilly lace flounces that have been
out of fashion for years are being revived for
trimmings of full-dress toilets of elderly la
dies.
HEAVY corded silk materials. and stuffs in silk
and in worsted, figured with velvet. are among
the coming novelties in the way of dress goods.
MANY rich dresses have velvet collars and
cuffs and dispense with any white lace next the
flesh. In other dresses soft pu1fs of white crepe
Isse are around the neck and wrists.
NEW halfmourning bonnet is a large poke
of dead-black silk. smoothly covered On the
left side is dull black breast and outlining the
crown is bandeau of dull jet. The broad
strings are of soft mourning ribbon.
SPITE of opposition, children's dresses are
stiH preferred made in the princesse style. The
shape however is much concealed by its nume-
rous drapings in the form of panniers, sash. and
other trimmings.
THE ROBE NEGRESSE'' comes in Indenne
cOttGns printed in brightly colored checks like
the Madras handkerchiefs worn as turbans by
mulattO women and which are bOrdered by a
larger pattern than that which forms the center,
red yellow, and brown showing in all the pat
terms.
THs NEWEST Pompadour foulards have black
grounds showered over with very large detached
flowers and are trimmed with 1celle lace
These are accompanied by fan and parasO of
fOulard, and black lace hat trimmed with a
full wreath Ofartificia flowers like those printed
on the fOuard.
WHITE or black dresses are frequently adorned
with multi-cOlOred ribbons, hoops and long
steamers, or jabOts in mixtures Of colors-
olive, gray and pink or pale blue cardinal and
terra Gotta. for instance, being cOnjOined. Prim-
rose. bronze, brown and crimson form another
fashionable combination, but the slightest error
In that destroys all the good effect. Well
blended, this simple trimming sufficiently
brightens the sombrest toilet.
BEAUTIFUL evening toilet prepared for a
French countess has panels of open ficelle en-
broidery mixed with gold thread, the panners
and draperes being in ficelle-treiIlis new and
very light material; two large rOSettes of bege
Ribbon are fastened, one on the hip and one at
the bottom of the skirt. being the termination
OF two long ribbons that commence on the
taber; the pointed bodice. short on the hips, is
made of the two materials in the skirt a bow
with long ends on the shoulder.
VERY pretty dress lately worn in New York
was made of dark green nuns CLOTH with very
deep collar and turnover cuffs made of ficelle
or Irvine lace. The skirt was Killed all the way
up. and over this tunic made with full
Buckingham puffs- The dark green jersey bod
Ice was trimmed as described above. The hat
and parasOl were of dark green satin. lined
with pale pink surah trimmed outside with rows
Of fcelle lace and slender branch of hedge
Roses and foliage.
Doors AND SHOES even for outdoor wear not
unfrequently have the upper portions made of
material to match the dress worn with them.
Those of velvet brocade are very handsome in
appearance Sometimes the small raised flowers
are seen upon grounds ola corresponding color.
In black, dark green seal-brown ST one-gray and
the like, with kid fOXings of the same shade; or
otherwise, for evening wear, we see a white
foundation. with pale blue, mauye, pearl or old
gold flowers and white kid fOxings. To match
walking costumes rich looking boots of
bronze Kid with uppers of brown velvet the
raised patterns being of darker shade.
Cross STITCH is very appropriate for young
girls summer dresses, and it need not ALWAYS
be in the ever repeated blue and red. We will

VERY practical for travelling are the kid gloves

such dainty little continuance will be Justly
appreciated Apropos of travelling we must
make passing note of the capital little albums
containing leaflets of soap paper. Who does

when by chance alighting on some tricklinu
stream, a luxury much enhanced if one has in
