LATE NOTES ABoUe THE FASHIONS.

Among other winter novelties for chill.
dren are tasteful little hoods of plain dark
satin, bordered with narrow bands of fur,
and tied under the chin with bright rib
bons. For very young children are more
costly hoods made of quilted surah of
delicate shade, covered with lace, lined
with white silk plush, and bordered with
ostrich feather trimming.
Velveteen of the Louis" brand is much
more in vogue this winter than for many
years past, in consequence of being import
ed in o variety of new " artistic" shades OF
color, the dark green, olive, Russian blue,
garnet and seal brown patterns very closely
resembling silk velvet; and while it is
never desirable for an entire suit, it an
swers exceedingly well for understands to
dresses of costlier material, and is also very
useful and pretty for children's fancy street
costumes.
Among other novelties displayed by the
French milliners is black satin poke bon.
net designed for "second" mourning, which
is hand painted on the outside of the pro-
trudiDg brim, with design of convolvuli
in various shades OF blush gray, 1t is fur
Their trimmed with satin and bunch of
ostrich tips. The effect is quite uncom-
mon. Painted sun. shades, robes, muffs,
fans and caps have become general, but
bonnet decorated as above is something
quite new and attractive.
Disappointed Swiss girdles of black,
ruby, admiral blue or brown velvet, lined
with gold colored satin and embroidered
with small golden flowers, are worn with
house dresses of cashmere or vigogne. For
evening dress are girdles OF silk, covered
with pearl or silver beads, and finished
around the bottom with frill of lace or a
fringe of chenille, mixed with gold or silver
made of tinted satin, hand-embroidered or
hand. painted in delicate floral designs, and
matching these are tiny shoulder capes,
hanging pocket pouches, and fans, embroid-
cred or painted in like patterns.
A rather striking costume lately seen
upon the promenade was made of coffee
coored cloth bordered with Roman striped
plush, yellow and red predominating the
Babel coat being additional trimmed with
brown chenille fringe set underneath
the plush bordering. A Tyrolese hat of
coffee brown plush had the semi. conical
crown wreathed with feathers of tropical
birds. Nesting underneath the wide brim
were three large Isabella roses made of
shaded chenille. With this dress were
worn Swede SAKE gloves of o deeper shade
Of brown, and Spanish walking boots, the
cloth tops of which matched in shade the
color of the dress.
A new and graceful Jersey" dress has
appeared which can only be appropriately
worn by few " diyinely tall women who
have perfect figures No seams are visible
upon the sleeves, and the bodice is laced
or buttoned down the back. The garment
has the appearance of being nodded over
the waist and sides, fitting the form to per-
lection. A beautiful model robe of this de-
scription is made of soft silver-gray satin
of rare quality and color. The long, flow
ing lines of the train are unbroken and un-
adorned just below the hips is wide
scarf drapery of the satin, which is arranged
in panniers at the sides, terminating in q
broad sash, and ends low on the skirt in
the back. A similar dress is made of cham.
payne de via satin, with scarf drapery of
violet plush.
