Little girls, in New York. this win
ter, are wearing regular little Red
Riding Hoods, their cloaks being
fashioned exactly after the model
of the unfortun te heroine of the IA
nous nursery legend. The fashion
has also extended to peop,e of larger
growth, as many young ladies are
seen wearing long ulsters and close
fitting Newmarkets made of ladies'
or Vandyke red. Most of the wraDs
are unadorned, but few are seen
trimmed with FIVE or six rows of very
narrow black velvet ribbon. This is
usually when the cloak is worn over
skirts of velveteen. The bonnet or
hat is also of black velvet, and black
gloves are fitting accompaniment.

FASHIONS FANCIES.

Fashionable hats are stiff and angu-
lar.
The Mousquetaire remains the lead:
ing glove.
Ballroom gloves are thirty-one
inches long.
The Charlottee Corday capote is the
passing fancy in bonnets.
Ball dresses are trimmed with
tufted silk chenille thiStles.
The newest table linen is embroi-
dered in heavy white silk floss.
Sailor costumes are comfortable and
pretty for girls school dresses.
Bonnets with cloth crowns and vel
vel brims are the favoriteS for demi-
toilet.
Long ornamental shell hairpins are
made dressy with Rhine stones in the
curved ends.
Girls sailor suits are made of dark
blue serge and trimmed with eel u
colored woolen braids.
Parisians are wearing squirrels
heads and kittens heads, as well az
owls heads and the heads of other
birds, on their hats and honnets.
Wood brown and myrtl- green a
curious mixture favored 10y Worth,
who has more than once endeavored
to make it popular. Few approve the
combination. as former cannons of
taste are all opposed to it.
Black velvet is more in vogue than
ever for full dress toilets for elderly
ladies' Both plain and brocaded vel
ht,f In &c,
employed, it is now but seldom inter-
mixed with other materials.
The prettiest designs for the heads
OF those dressy little lace pins that are
used to decorate and fasten Jabots
and frills of lace, are tiny leaves of
the rose, In various colorS, on one side
OF which is a tiny dew drop or a di-
minutive ahilone shell, with "A pearl or
IA diamond dropped on it's irridescent
tip.
The skirts most in wear are narrow
and drawn tightly across the body in
front. Those with double and triple.
putfiugs continue to b used. The
drapings of skirts are taken back to
leave the apron free. This style is
much more becoming than profu-
sion of putfings placed on the sides and
fronts of dresses.
Embroidery worked by hand on
velvet OF satin is very fashionable.
The apron may be thus worked, OF the
sides embroide' ed in quill shape.
SCme of the designs consist of
branches of tuchsias with buds and
leaves i'll the most natural coloring.
All this work is in relief much filled
i'll. and the branches are embroidered
ill rather irregular lines, and form
comparatively light des gns.
The silk gauzes. brocaded with velvet
figures. which proved 81 satisfactory
for summer wear. are again very po-
pular for tull-dress occasions. A very
beautiful pattern, exhibited among a
scere of newly imported designs, has
a groundwork of pinkish mauve, bro
caded with purple velvet helotrope
blossoms and violets. A second de-
sign shows pink velvet rUses and
leaves scattered over ground of sill
yer gray gauze.
