it ends in a bow and ends of satin ribbon.
The sleeves are putied and shirred, and are
exceedingly high OH the shoulder
Ladies watches for ordinary occasions are
quite plain and small; even monograms are
no longer accepted with general favor. The
usual watch chain is short, light and small.
1t may be of gold only, or Of gold aud
platina. These chains are Just long enough
TO fasten in the button hole and reach to

pose i'll many OF the tailor dresses.
Brown furs are fast coming into favor
again, and ladies who have taken care of
their sables and mink furs are now rewarded.
The novelty in these is the use made of the
tails of the animal, which are now not in set
stripes, but are made to hang separately like
a fringe, two inches below the belt, on fine
borders on collars and collarettes, and also
on the entire lining of cloaks. These tail
trimmings are very effective when made of
dark brown mink. aud are pretty in the new
small round collarettes.
Soft roses. in numbers from twelve to thir-
ty, are undoubtedly the richest blossoms for
the corsage bouquet. But with these there
should be very few spring flowers at the
stem, to mingle fragra nee and beStpw chic;
two or three lily sprays or few violets or
small cluster of mignonette. The foliage
must never be removed, but turned down to
fringe the stems. The corsage bunch. de-
nuded of foliage, and, with stems chopped
off or zinc wound, is 4 deformity, no matter
how rich the blossoms.
Some of the prettiest evening bonnets are
made OF poppy red chenille, the crowns formed
OF a lattice work of chenille and the brim
finished with roll of chinille and cluster
Of scarlet ostrich tips and an aigrette. An
equiSite little bonnet in black Escurial Span
ish lace is shown, dotted with cOrn-shaped
figures in black velvet. The soft lace crown
OF the bonnet is laid over an under crown of
red velvet, and the pulled brim is trimmed
with cluster of chenille pomp0ns and fern
leaves in red chenille ard silver.
For tall, slender women, no wrap for cold
weather use can be found more comfortable
or becoming than the long French mantle,
cut in exceedingly graceful curves in the
back, and half fitting I'm front. The medium
priced wraps in this style are made OF black
ottoman silk, and trimmed with full feathery
fringes and ruches of chenille. The more
expensive garments are made OF large-pat-
termed brocades. the designs being of raised
flowers in velvet or chenille. Heavy quilted
satin Innings are more popular this season
than those of fur, account of the annoy
ance caused by the shedding of hairs where
fur is employed.
A very unique style of evening dress. affect

sash of pale yellow satin gives the required
fullness in the back. A black velvet bag is
suspended from the waist BY slender gold
chain. this holding a kerchief, which must
be exposed to view and must cost great
deal of money. Black silk stockings and
black velvet sandals show themselves by rea-
son of the shortness of the dress skirt, and
the long black gloves OF Swedish kid must

roses, delicately perfumed and fastened near
the left shoulder, gives the finishing touch to
