Fashion FzucieS.

An odd caprice Of the moment is silk
or velvet sleeves, with cuffs OF the CLOTH
The 5aggy-blouse waist Is again fash.
ionable for girls Of eight to twelve years
an baby children Of both sexes.
l., ~ matinee sacques are made Of plush,
open to the throat, and worn over blouse
surah waist.
Plush, camel's-hair shawIs, brocaded vel
vet, and MORE are all employed in wraps
Of this description.
Ficelle gray, pale pink, and black kids
are worn for evening, buttoned or loose
wristed. Favor is divided between the
buttoned and wrinkled tops, il being q
question Of like and dislike; both are
equally fashionable.
Cednr-red is among the novelties in kid
tints; heavy black stitching on the backs.
Another fancy is for dog-skin gloves, with
the seams double-stitched and broad stitch
ing on the back. These come in four-but-
toned and loose-wriSted.
Cloth and velvet combined continues to
be the street costume. Only the coolest
days require more wrapping than athickly-
lined and wadded pelisse. The polonaise
Is straight open nearly TO the waist-line,
open in the back, and pressed in phlits,
while silk sash gives pcrfct finish.
Wraps for the street and evening are
shorter than early in the season, and short,
er in the back than front, with tip-tit
made by the centre box-plait.that makes
them exceedingly iaunty il made OF rich
material; long, elegant ornament in the
back, anu Brandebourgs crossing the fronts
are allthe trimming needed.
Full suits OF cloth are made with a box
plated skirt, straight side panels, and q
basque with slashed edge-that Is. the
fronts and sides are cut in tab-like points.
the back In double box-plait 10 match the
skirt; the panels, neck, and cuffs may be
trimmed with bands of fur or plush: the
bonnet should be of the cloth, with the
brim OF thef fur.
The woven Jersey glove is warm and
nice-3tting. Buttonless, they are nice for
cold days; but why, oh, why are they
made for dafDs? not only in gloves, but In
temper. One must always have a needle
ready. for holes come rs il by magic. The
nanneLhned aud fur-top goatskin gloves
are found very warm and comfortable for
riding and driving.
Perfectfitting waists, made OF the Jersey
~ebeing, are found ready-made, and are
preferred by many 10 the woven Jersey.
One advantage. they are muchIess In pr,ce:
one quite as fine az the regular Jersey
which rctaiis az 5000, rlay be purchased
for $3.50. and more sure TO IL. for the
sleeves are sufficiently lotg and buttoned
at the wrist. The front Is closed with hut
tons. and there Is standing collar; the
usnai bust size Is the necessary mea4 ure.
I1 hosiery those who suffer ssifh coal feet
wear English cashmere; but eiany cannot
bear tbc woolly feeling next the flesh. For
these come tue heavy fleeee-lined, In white, |
nnbleaehed, and colors. There Is also
1eece-lined silk hose, costing from 81 10 |
80 per pair. Silk stockings are worn by |
many the year round; for the protection OF
the silk. and 10 allay the creepy feeling so
UNPLEASANT To many, y very fine gauze Bal
briggau hose Is imported this season 10
year under the silk. Black stockings are
I'LL In demand; these and the dark-cioth
hade may be found in the better grade
tockings, with sniline dyes. Ii
