Plain linen collars and cuffs are to be
in vogue again, and very deep cuffs and
collars, like those worn by ladies in the
play known as the Squire, are pre-
ferred by many of the followers of this
severe fashion. They look trimmer and
neater invariably than any other style,
but IL will take some time to re-estab-
lish the custom of wearing them after
the more delicate and negligee fashion
of wearing lace alone.
New necklaces for evening wear are
of Florentine and cloisonee beads, some
0f which are oncrusted with tiny silver
stars or studded with mock gems, which
glitter like real Jewels in the gaslight.
Roman pearls also were never more in
fashion than at the present, worn twist
ed about the neck in triple rows. The
newest strings show delicate sheeny
tints of heliotrope pink, gold and
mauve, sea green and silver. and rose
and pearl in the softest and most tx
| quisite tints.
The added basque. so long a feature
of modern dressmaking. is losing its
! popularity. The most fashionable
Jacket bodices are cut in one, very
many. opening over vests of some con-
trasting material; otherwise the gilet
may correspond with the dress fabric
and be. laid in soft fiat folds or gagged.
The basque is frequently very short,
with square tabs cut up to the waist
line, When deeper, the. basque Is
sometimes cut into long Vandykes, the
points being exceedingly sharp, and not
cut up to the waist, rs in the above
case. This style looks bestwhen mixed
materials or braiding and embroidery
are introduced. .a. ari .s4l., =
The English fashion of cropping the
hair short all over the head and form
ingit into little loose rings has again
reached America, and many ladies are
! sacrificing their luxuriant tresses To the
MOlOch of the present mode. During
an afternoon drive througha prominent
city in Canada, the writer lately noticed
no less than score of ladies, both En-
glish and American, thus shorn. With
this style of couture the jockey hat is
usually worn, excepting where the
4. fashion is followed by middle-aged
women; in this case the tOque, or En-
glish walking-hat is seen, as no larger
or broader hat can very well be kept
secure without braid or puff to which il
Fmay be fastened. These short ripping
locks are to great degree charming on
some heads-mostly with. the round,
rosy-faced girls in their teens, or not far
out of them.-N. y. Post. ..f. s,f
