Fashion Notes.

Royal cardinal is the favorite color
for children dresses.
The Glengarry cap of bright scarlet
wool is worn alike by boys and girls.
BaSqueS of sterra-cotta cashmere are
much worn over black velvet skirts.
Velvets, satin rhadames, corded silk,
Irish poplin and cashmere will be in
high vogue for fall and winter wear.
The first-named fabrics, for evening
dress, are shown inS all the delicate
tints of pale pink, Persian mauve, ciel
blue, cream color and sea green.
Jackets and basques of every descrip-
ton and color are worn over skirts of a
contrasting material. The shapes are
varied, and are in styles suitable to ev-
cry age. They are invariably close-ft-
ting, are cut with a narrow collar, and
button straight down the front
The most fashionable perfumes lust
now are "Opoponax" and that known
as Edelweiss, the extract of the sweet
Alpine flower. Sachets filed with DOW
der, scented with the same odors, are
sold also, these to be placed between
the folds of dresses and mantles when
lying in the wardrobe; but stress is to
be laid on the fact that excess in this,
as in most other respects, is vulgar; a
Soupcon only is permitted.
Stripes are as fashionable as ever. in
all classes of material, and, used in
combination with plain fabrics, are very
effective, especially in rich India silk
materials. Scarf draperies of soft
striped surahs and satins are much
worn, and if well chosen can accompa-
ny several different dresses. Plastrons.
revers, collars and cuffs, edged with
colored Spanish lace matching one of
the colors of the stripes, preferably
dark green, should be worn to match.
These also can be transferred from one
dress to another.
For working a scarlet Glengarry cap
begin at the center of the crown and
crochet in double or treble crochet with
double Berlin wool a large round, in
creasing the stitches to keep it flat, un-
til it is the full size required for the top
of the cap. Eleven or twelve rounds
will be sufficient in moderately loose Gro
Chef for boys cap. In the following
six or seven rounds you decrease the
work in the same ratio as it was in
creased. After that, for the head part,
work plain, without decreasing. in
double crochet, taking up both edges
of the loop in each row for nine or ten
rows, and then fasten off. A thick ball
or pompon is put in the center of the
cap. which should be lined with dark
red silk or serge.
Bonnets and round hats are exhibit
ed in a great variety of novel shapes.
from the graceful and elegant to the ex-
aggerated and grotesque STYLES, which
are wilder than ever this season; for in
stance, a formidable looking. irregular
shaped bonnet is known as the ssele-
plants ear" side view of this ugly
head gear resembling an elephants ear
in outline and almost in size. There
are numberless notifications of the
poke, which yet clings to favor, and
new and very becoming Gypsy shapes,
these charming and less conspicuous
bonnets being made with brims of
shirred satin and soft Moorish crowns
of plush or velvet. The crowns
to the most fashionable round hats
are immensely high, with brims as
wide as the Gainsborough. Capotes or
bebe bonnets are still in high vogue.
though attempts have been made to
crowd these pretty and lady-like little
French bonnets to the wall. For full
dress there is no head covering to equal
them in style and elegance.-M Y Ecen-
