THE CLARION.
Wednesday. ..-- October 4, 1ssa
Pour Les Danes.


Rep silk skirts are imported ready
made,
Pink and pale brown make pretty
combination.
Some of the new kid gloves have
pockets in the palms for tickets, change,
etc.
In broeades for winter garments the
designs recall the tales of the Arabian
Nights.
"Free, yet highly proper manners of
American girlhood," is what French
man says.
English turban hats are all the rage
this autumn. They are very handsome
and stylish.
listers for ladies are very stylish and
of a style once exclusive with the Prin-
cess of Wales.
Garnet jewelry is gradually creeping
back into fashion again, and the price
of the stones has advanced.
Jerseys woven into shape and the
elastic-ribbed cloths known as Jersey
cloths are more largely imported.
Sleeves that puff above the elbow are
first gathered in two rows around the
top, but are not deeply shirred.
Creedmore jewelry is the latest, and
comes in tiny rifles, targets and all the
other outfit" of the marksmen.
"Ocean blue" is the name of one Of
the new colors. Thousands just home
from Europe attest the good imitation.
What is called the Nile ring is the
newest freak. 1t is green by day and
ruby red at night, and pleases the festhe-
tic taste.
In bangles the latest thing is in
bronze, with curious designs on the sides,
and all sorts of impossible things dang
ling therefrom.
Slate-color, an ugly and unbecoming
color to either blonde or brunette, for
some reason unknown has come into
fashion once again.
Crescents of hammered silver and
gilt are now worn at the neck. Some
are of gold and set with jewels in very
odd and peculiar ways.
R9camier poke bonnets are coming
in faster than those to whom they are
unbecoming like, but they are to be the
fashion, "allee samee."
Autumn mantles are very handsome
and SNOWY, and represent enough money
to keep a poor family in food and cloth
ing for considerable time.
Quaint little smelling bottles are now
seen dangling from the waist-belt of the
girl of the period, and now she can faint
whenever opportunity offers.
There is a new way to mark handker-
chiefs. The name is marked lengthwise
on one end of the hemstitched corner,
with the letters placed one above the
other, entwined like the rings of a
chain.
For receptions are combination dress
es of the new striped Ottoman reps with
velvet, or else of velvet with the Indian
silks of soft yet rich quality, with brc-
caded figures that cover the surface
entirely.
1t is not in good taste to wear slip
per or very low-cut shoe upon the street,
but when it is done the slipper should
always be worn over black stockings.
In this case the height of the shoe will
hardly be observed.
The Princess of Wales recently wore
a ball costume of cream colored silk,
trimmed with old-gold lace, the ruff be-
ing also of the latter material, and red
geraniums being worn at the center Of
the low cut bodice.
There is a fancy for Breton vest,
cuffs, collar and wide border of India
cashmere embroidery used for the Dor
ders of camePs hair shawls this is done
Cd cashmere, camels hair, and cloth
dresses of dark shades of green, red or
blue.
Soft feathers in white or pale-tinted
colOrs are worn in the hair with admir-
able effect, and with full evening dress,
diamond stars, arrows, and crescents,
or pins in the shape of small flowers and
leaves, are used to fasten the plumes in
place.
