Short Notes.
The Parls correspondent of Andrew +
American Queen writes that there seems
20 be perfect passion for lace Just now ;
it enters into all combinations and ali
sorts and styles of toilets. We have
parasols covered with ruilles Of Chantilly
lace over black satin. and large parasols
formed entirely Of Spanish lace over
black or colorcd satin. Plain satin para
soils are bordered with deep rufiie of
Spanish lace. Skirts composed of lace
fiounces are worn under Louis XIV. coats
III brocade or deep corsages of satin or
surah The latest style of opera cloak
rs made of satin, cut very long and half
fitting, and entirely covered with Spanish
lace, ruiiles of the same lace being used
as trimming. These nre made in NIL
shades, but the most popular styles,are in
various shades of red covered with black
lace.
White Spanish lace is used on satin
cioaks i'll pale blue, rose, pearl and
mauve tints, and the new ficelle lace, for
white and cream tints. The head scarf
to be worn with one of these cloaks must
correspond with the lace whercwith it is
trimmed. Wide Torchon lace founces,
set on skirt of blue or pink silk, form a
pretty and inexpensive undcrskrt for q
young lady.
A very tasteful Watering place toilet
was composed of such n skirt, the silk
foundation being in deeper shade of
light blue than the prevailing very pale
tint. The corsage was in white Algerian
striped material, made pointed in front,
and with very deep point at the back,
ON which was draped broad and hand
some Roman scarf, its colors pale blue,
white and pink. The corsage had collar
and cuffs OF Torchon lace lined with blue
silk.
A very handsome dress was made short,
and was of white satin sural, the skirt
finished with large ruche of satin, cov-
cred with draperies of white Spanish
lace. The corsage was in white brOcaded
satin surah. Another dress, for an older
lady, had the skirt composed of alternate
wide-plaited tiounces of crimson and
black surah, Over the crimson hounces
fell rutilcs of black Spanish lace. The
corsage was in black satin surah, and n
small wrap i'll Spanish lace, lined with
NiihSph, uctpil l)iillltu tlt tOllct.
All kinds Of laces are used for dress
trimmings nowadays. For ordinary wear
there is n German pillow-made lace that
is very effective. II is of heavy linen
thread, and resembles Cluny lace in text
ure and patterns. A lighter and more
elegant lace comes from Bohemia. 1t is
reproduction of the Milan point, but
with modern designs, the more effective
being series of large whorls united by
branching tendrils. The French imita-
tions of Spanish lace are good deal
used, both i'll white and black. They are
inexpensive, but do not wear well. Ma
deria lace is superior kind of Torchon,
and very pretty hounces for dress skirts
are to be found among the later importa-
tions. Irish point is handsome and wears
well, but is too expensive to be used in
the profusion wherewith lace is now en-
ployed for trimming dresses.
New Colors and Materials.
The new shade of red is called Marl-
borough it is very handsome, being at
once delicate and vivid. The copper, OF
"chaudron," colors will be much worn
next Autumn, in combination with rich,
deep shades of blue.
All sorts of soft, velvety materials will
be popular for bonnets during the coming
season, heavy velvet, plush and flowers
in shaded velvet being amongst the arti
cles that promise the greatest popularity
Heavy corded silk materials and stuff.
in silk and in worsted, figured with vel
vet, are amongst the coming Loyelties in
the way of dress goods.
Hair Rrassinu
The styles of wearing the hair are
various, and indicate desire on the part
of the hair-dressers to do away with the
graceful simplicity that has been in
vogue for some time past. Looped
braids falling on the neck replace the
compact Grecan knot. The old fashion
ed "French twist of our mothers days
has been revived also, the large bowi
formed Of hair, which were fashioned
some twenty years ago and which preced
ed the chignon. Finger-puifs ON the toI
of the head are also worn /; 30 too are the
two long dropping ringlets, falling on the
neck, which the Princess of Walei
brought into favor at the time of her. mar
riage.
Some ladies with superb tresses hav,
essayed to bring in to vogue the STYLE
adopted by the empress of Austria o.
wearing the hair unconfined at the bacl
and flowing over the shoulders, while the
