Late Fashion Notes.


Feather fans and parasols are made
to correspond.
The "Langtry" bonnet is little Of
crown and large of brim.
Sheila cloth is much used for l0rtieres
and other hangings.
The trim-titting plated waist is re-
vived for summer dresses.
Cotton Sicilienne is a glossy fabric
much resembling foulard silk.
Gold lace and Isabella roses trim hats
and bonnets of dark green straw.
Gold colored lusterless straw bonnets
in "Langtry" shape are exceedingly
elegant for dress occasions.
Carrackmacross lace is much used
upon fancy round hats of cream-white
straw, also trimmed with white os-
trich tips.
Terra-cotta satin dresses, trimed with
real Spanish lace, relieved by huge
clusters of "Jack" roses, are imported.
Among the rapidly appearing eccen-
tricities in fancy jewelry is an ornament
for millinery in the shape of six tiny
birds transiixed on gilded spit.
I The Alpine peasant hat, called the
Montagnard, with broad brim bent down
over the eyes, is an exceedingly popular
head covering for seaside use.
Pure wool-mixed cheviots with dash
of Cayenne red in the woof will be much
employed for travelling dresses all sum-
mer. The facings and cordings are of
red satin.
Black openwork chenille wraps in the
Directoire shape are much worn this
season. They form rich and elegant
addition to promenade costumes of
moire, foulard, or satin, and have all the
becoming effect of black velvet man
tie.
One of the prettiest and newest ber-
thas for the summer is of violet-tinted
null, upon which are appliqued natural
sized heartsease blossoms of gold and
purple velvet. The edge of the bertha
is bordered with violet-tinted Spanish
lace.
The skirts of carriage dresses are
often made of dark laurel-green nuns
cloth, with pannier; draperv, panels,
and ruche-lining of Oriental brocade in
crimson, green, and gold. The Cont
mental coat is open to show a Suisse, or
beadle vest, of the brocade, closed up to
the front with silk cords and frogs o.
darkest green.
Among pretty French house sacques
are those of quite heavy white Austrian
flannel, trimmed with rows of cream
white braid about an inch and half in
width, and finished on tho edges with
ficelle lace, set on in double rufiles. In
less delicate styles are those made of
hunters green vigogne, trimmed with
small gold-washed buttons and rows of
very narrow gold braid.
Pretty French bonnets, lined with
tinted satin and trimmed with rose gar
lands, with parasols to correspond, are
now placed in wise juxtaposition in
many store windows, and the purchase
of one without the other shows a power
to withstand temptation beyond the
capabilities OF most women. For ex-
ample, we see a sunshade entirely COW
cred with myrtle green Spanish lace
mounted on a pearl handle, associated
past severance with a stylish Gypsy
bonnet; also trimmed with green
Spanish lace, beneath the filmy folds of
which peep phenominal pale blue roses
held by mother-o'-pearl clasp. 1t is
this connection between one portion of
dress with another that is so pretty and
yet so inexpensive feature of present
fashion.
At stylish wedding, in fashionable
church up town, the bridesmaids con-
sisted of six cherubic little girls, rang
ing in age from six to ten years. They
were attired in charming looking Kate
Greenaway costumes made of seashell-
pink fOulard, trimmed with lace aud
natural roseDuds, with broad sashes of
pink moire and bewitching little Queen
Nab bonnets of white shirred surah,
tied down with moire silk strings, the
crows being wreathed with the moss
roses. They carried French gilded bas-
kets of white and pink roses to scatter
the brides path as, unaccompanied, she
walked up the church aisle to the chan
eel, where she met the rest of the bridal
party, who preceded her into the church.
A simple walking-dress for a young
girl Is made of limousine striped beige
and dark Chinese red silk. The round
skirt is in two rows of kits, and the
second skirt is very much draped in the
back. In front it is crossed slantwise
and looped high on one side. This tunic
has no trimming beyond several
rows of stitching in dark red silk. The
basque is slashed at the back, and
underneath the opening Is set a sash of
the dark red silk. A small round pei
crime, with collar and revers stitched all
around, and fastened in front with q
bow of dark red ribbon, can be put on
and off at pleasure. The close sleeves
are finished with rows of stitching
around the wrists, which are piped on
the edges with red. Small round but
tons of red corozo are placed in double
row on the front of the basque and upon
the sleeves and small pocket-iaps.-
