FASHIONABLE FANCIES.

GATHER 6nlSIleS appear among new
bonnet trimmings.
The latest shade of yellow takes the
name of "four o'clock"
New fannels for suiting are shown in
stylish heather mixtures, which will
make excellent school dresses for misses,
and serviceable shopping dresses.
TRIMMING furs are shown In black
monkey, black beaver, natural beaver,
seal, otter skin and Russian hare. Wide
bands of fur will be worn again on the
skirts Of dresses.
STYLISH poke hats in fisher-wife shape
are shown for children and misses. They
are of felt, finished with puff of velvet
on the edge, and trimmed with bows in
two shades of hat. These pretty little
bows are SO full that they are almost
like rosettes, with the ends cut in fish
tail style.
WITH the pretty and very becoming
velvet basques, over white or light mus
lin or silk skirts, are now worn tiny
black velvet capote bonnets, faced inside
with pale pink or pale gold satin, and
trimmed outside with tea-roses, scarlet
geranium blossoms, or headed wall
flowers, not mingled, and but single
kind on bonnet. The flowers are set
around the crown as wreath, or in one
large cluster just above the left ear.
A GREAT deal is being said in fashion
columns on the subject of chenille. It
is going to be very much worn, and no
wonder, for it is one of the most beauti-
full OF trimmings, alone or in combi-
nation with silk or satin or Jet, as seen
In recent importations. There is infinite
variety in it's uses, among which we
notice fringes, tassels, balls and loops,
drops and rings in the passementeries;
there are rolling collars made entirely of
chenille, tabliers of chenille Melted in
squares, and special ornaments innumer-
able for different parts of garments, and
1t Is to be seen on some of the new felt
hats.
AMONG the late novelties in fancy
goods are lace boas. They are made of
treble box plated ruff1es of white or
cOlOred lace, so as to form a complete
double ruche-this tied at the throat
with a knot of ribbons, and again at the
belt, with long ends falling over the
skirt of the dress. The most elegant for
general use are made of black Spanish
jet-beaded lace, with ribbons of black
satin or MORE. The daintiest and most
| expensive for full evening dress wear are
made of white imperial point lace, either
plain or painted in the center of each
scallop, and in the middle of the soft
waves of the lace are set small artificial
flowers. The ribbons correspond In
color with the flowers chosen.
IL. l. I
of seal or otter skin in long ulster OF
dolman shape. These luxurious gar
ments reach nearly to the bottom of the
dress and. are usually trimmed with
wide bands of contrasting fur. The
long white hair which fashionable fancy
has added during the last few years to
all trimming furs is no longer seen. The
unpointed fur is now preferred. Dol
mans fit more closely to the figure than
last season and are only distinguished
from ulsters by their loose fronts and
sleeves flowing from the shoulder. Dol
mans and ulsters are both fastened in
front by elaborate fourageres of fur,
chenille and satin cord, and are lined
with quilted satin in dark aesthetic col
ors or In plain seal brown.
WAISTCOATS grow III IaVOr. many OF
the dark wooden dresses being repaired
for early fall wear are enlivened by
waistcoats either real or simulated,
made of velvet, silk or serge. White
silk waistcoats are also seen under tweed
Jackets, with rundown collars and lap.
els like a gentleman's coat. They are
buttoned down the front and the great
consideration is the buttons, which must
be jaunty and rich-looking, and in har-
mony also with the color of the tweed
fabric, if it be brown, calls for bronze OF
copper buttons; or if the tweed is il
heather mixtures, enamel buttons inlaid
with different colors-red predominating
is the proper selection. Very elegant
looking promenade costumes, made Of
olive green and dark myrtle green crossed
with hair lines of cardinal or old gold
have waistcoats of dark green velvet, OF
of royal cardinal serge, fastened with
gold buttons, and trimmed with rows Of
gold braid or gold braiding in arabesque
designs.
