spring silks.

spring novelties.
Buttercups and blaekberries are the lat
est Persian combination for bouquets.
Fur capes and collars are fastened with
long ribbon strings tied in full, flowing
bow.
Woven trimmings of white down are
preferred to fur or chenille for trimming
opera cl0aks.
Plush Innings find greater favor than
fur Innings that fatigue the Yearer by
their great weight.
Long egg-shaped buttons with circles of
black passementerie cord are the trim
mings for cloth redingOtes.
BOdices of velvet, whether plain or bro
caded, are elegant and fashionable for
afternoon, dinner and reception toilet.
Chain bracelets of India designs, made
of yellow gald are in great favor, and
bangle bracelets of gold wire as fine as
thread, several being worn at one time,
are likewise highly popular.
New French hats are trimmed with
narrow braid embroidery. OF course, in
this case the hat must match the dress in
material and color, the crown is plated,
and the smooth brim has a narrow border
TortOise-shell ornaments for the hair
are now very fashionable, especially the
clear amber sort in different shapes. The
most becoming and the favOrites are the
hairpins with small balls at the top, two
or three being used to ornament the hair
on one side.
Articles of dress as we'll as mantles,

yelling lined with cOlOred fOufard, pOngee
or ''surah glace." 1t will be closed all
the way down the front with loops of satin
or ottoman ribbon, or with jet fastenings
and dropping ornaments combined with a
shell-shaped lace trimming. This will be
a very useful garment for ladies who do
not like tight fitting waists. 1t is also
serviceable for evening wear. For this
purpose, however, pelisse of plush or In
but they are too costly to be generally
adopted.
Printed fabrics promise to be more fash
ionable next season than the woven bro
caded figures that have been so long in
favor, and among these are foulard silks
Of plain surface, Or with satin finish, Of
else with very broad twills, like those Of
silk surah. These are shown in the high
colors and large figures described in the
Indian pOngees, and an Oftsrepeated de-
sign among these, called the '''crUshed
rose PATTERN has full blown roses of
every color, thrown together without
foliage, and entirely covering the surface
of the fabric. The mosaic designs also
show many cOlors, and there are indigo
blue grounds with white linked rings,
bars, blocks and balls that will make most
tasteful dresses. The star patterns white
on red, blue, brown or green grounds
are very neat, and others with small
white sprigs repeat the popular designs
