FASHION NOTES.


winter for children.
Cherry red and ochre yellow are the
leading colors in millinery just now.
Many of the short black garments are
deliberately trimmed with black fox fur
The newest thing in furs is the high
shouldcred pclerinc with high standing
collar.
Solid-colored fur Innings for both fur
lined dolmans and circulars are most pre-
ferred
Belts and chatelaine bags, made of
finely embossed leather, of entirely new
designs, are again in high vogue.
Undyed beaver is very fashionable for
trimming cloaks, and capes made of it
are more stylish than those of any other
fur
Chenille fringe is extensively used for
trimming dresses and nantes. 1t is
handsome and expensive, but it never
lasts more than one season.
The plain black silk is not nearly so
popular as the Ottomans, merveiIleux and
satin rhadames. If one wants to to buy
an economical black dress good
black satin is the best.
White bonnets have gone entirely out
OF fashion for evening wear. Those of
pale mauve and salmon and blue velvet,
made simply and trimmed with a cluster
of ostrich tips are the most fashionable.
A very elegant walking costume is
made of a pattern dress of deep cedar
brown bison cloth, the skirt showing a
deep band of the simulated Persian en-
broidery above "a narrow pelisse. The
long, tight-fitting coat Is trimmed with
bands of buffalo far, and round turban
has miniature bison's head in the front
One of Mrs. Langtry's pretty walking
dresses is of dark blue broadcloth, with
skirt bordercd by several tiny pleatings
of red and yellow satin, a short distance
above which is band of chamois skin
some three inches in width. The tight
fitting waist is similarly trimmed, and
the little turban worn with it is of dark
blue.
A favoritc style of jewelry is of mug
get-fnished gold with scattered Jewels
embedded in the rough surface. Hand
some bracelets are formed by uniting the
roughly rounded or rectangular plates,
aid linked sleeve buttons of this style
are well liked in the form of trefoil. For
scarf-pin little sword with richly
Jeweled hit is a style of which few
young men are ashamed.
A new style of dressing the hair is high
in the back and on the head The
couture is composed of two waved ban
deaus, which are generally false. The
HAIR is taken up in the back in Chinese
| fashion and tied rather high; it is then
divided into three parts, each of which
forms Il kind of bow with smooth loops
Each of these is fastened through the
center with a shell pin. In second style
the hair is divided horizontally into two
parts. The upper part is tied high and
then divided to form puifs which are ar
ranged in a wreath around the head. The
three upper putfs show from the front.
The other Part OF the hair is braided
and taken in the center of the
wreath. A third couture consists of false
crimped bandeaus. The back forms puifs
and small twists of hair, with low combs
placed in the center of the head and on
either side of the back. Although to
some it may be undesirable to do away
with the Grecian knot, il would be good
for others. If girl has low forehead,
small, regular features and head pro-
truding far at the back and gracefully
sloping toward the neck, She will look
well with her hair arranged in a low coil
at the back; otherwise, she has the APP
pearance of being in undress. Fashion
able hairdressers do not braid the hail
now. 1t is invariably coiled. 1t should
be Thoroughly brushed before coiling, and
never brushed aftcrward. Bangs still
