ing colors in millinery just now.
Ball or hoop earrings sci with icms of va.
rious kinds, arc very fashionable.
Belts and chatclanc bags, made of finely
embossed leather of entirely new designs, are
again in high vogue.
Long pclsses ma ic of finely checked
twccds or cheviots, and trimmed with 5.inch
bands or fur, will be much worn upon the

dew, are among the new designs in fancy
| jewellry, the set consisting OF lace-pin ear

lets.
Lillian Russell poke bonncts are quite the
rage. These have wide, protrudiug brms
and little or no trimming at the back, but a
vast quantity of soft wavy feather tips fall
in @ over the edge Of the brim. The ends
of these feathers are held by long, sen-
der buckles studded with gltterinG stones.
This stylish head covering is adapted
by those who wear tie hair arranged a Ia
Langtry.
| Ladies' cloth of darkest cardinal. made
with the skirts laid in wide panels with kits
intersecling, the panels covered with Russian
embroidery in colors Of cardinal, green and
gold, compose one Of the most stylish and
elegant of walking costumes of the season.
The long apron ovcrskirt Is caught up with
colored silk cords, and the cardinal velvet
shouldcr-cape is lined with plaided surah in
colors matching the shades of the embroi-
derry.
Many plush capes are worn Just now, and
with good deal of waddng, they are near
ly as warm as fur. The collars are high and
the half sleeves set in the fashionable way
In color they are expected to match the Co.'S
tune worn with them or otherwise, to cor
respond to that of the dress Trimmings. A
new shade of plush, very thick and heavy
exactly matching the color of natural beaver,
is much used for peerincs and shoulder
capes. These come with jockey caps and
muffs TO match.
Small fruits, including rosy apples, pears
aprcots, plums, grapes and peaches of natu-
raj size, are seen upon the newly arrived bro
caded vclvets and satlns from Lyons. A deep
orange. .colored satin shot with silver is now
exhibited by Broadway firm. This odd
groundwork is brocaded with large crimson
velvet cgg-plums in clusters. Another pat
tern has ground of ilvcr-colored Ottoman
silk of unusually heavy cord, brocadcd with
decp-rcd coxcomb flowers Of natural size; (;
and a heavy white Ottomon silk is covered
with white thistle-booms, the feathcry por-
ton being made by full tufts of raised che
mile.
The new "Spanish MANTLE" which is to
take the place of the hackncyed fur-incd
circular. is very becoming to tall, slender
ladies. This wrap is uncommonly elegant
and graceful and is made of black brocadc
velvet, and trimmed around the entire
garment with black Russian fox. Around
the necc is very deep collar of the same
fur, which covers the shoulders like cape.
The wrap is lined with dark red plush, and
is much too heavy for street wear, being de-
sigued especially for carriage use, and us q
! garment to be thrown aside in heated
room. Models much in the same style, for
promenade wear, are made of brocaded satin
or velvet, lined with quilted satin and
trimmed with chenille fringes, fur or ziblin-
| cite.
Furs are always the handsomest of winter
trimmings, and the fortunate posscssor of
good furs need not follow the prevailing
craze for marabout. Its wear, like that OF
ziblinc,tc is by no means satisfactory, and
though comparatively inexpensive, the
necessity for frequent renewal materially
increases the original cost of the mantle Oh
dress of which marabout is the adjunct
E Nevertheless motives of economy do moi
, deter people from wearing great deal
of marabout trimming. II is certainly very
light and tleecy looking aud always becom
ing, and is very pretty for trimming house
dresses. Marabout is dyed most of tho new
delicate tints, as well as in the deep artistic
shades Of green, olive, trown, ruby and
blue.

evening wear are made with skirrs of plar

} shade than that If the silk composing the
; skirt. This bodice is also claborately trim

! skirt and boiice is hidden by the draping Of
a full apron overskirt made very pouffant il
the back. For full-dress wear was lately
