Fashion Notes.

New gloves for cool weather wear are
generally shown made of chintz cash
mere, very fine and soft. They are long
and buttonless, embroidered with q
spray of silk flowers at the tops, and
mold the hand and wrist as well as
any silk glove.
Plain dark velvets are to be much
used for ball wraps and opera cloaks.
A superb model on exhibition is made
If q very dark shade of royal blue in
long visite shape, embroidered in dark
blue silk. and lined throughout with
palest blue satin. Another wrap of
lark myrtle green is lined with pale
primrose surah and adorned with dark
green ostrich-feather trimming.
Braiding as garniture seems to re-
tain its popularity. having escaped be-
coming common by the richness and
alaborateness of its patterns, the deli
,acy of its work. the combinations of
satouche and cord, and the beautiful eff
iects OF relief which had been unknown
hitherto, and which are obtained by
using square satouche which shows in
.aised work over the material.
New French breakfast caps are made
n the Leonardo da Vinci shape after
he style of the velvet riding caps worn
asst winter. Some of the most fanciful
Of these are formed of gay Oriental
toulard. run through with long slender
gold pins to hold the cap in place.
Others are made of gold lace and
trimmed with a spray OF scarlet japoni-
ca, and star jasmine blossoms. A third
style is OF black Spanish net adorned
with small butterflies and tiny jewelled
beetles.
A new utility wrap has made its ap-
pearance which isvery suitable for shop
ping. travelling, and protective cover
ing from the autumn rains. 1t is of i'm
ported suiting, and will do very well in
deed for an entire dress. to take the
place of skirt and ulster. 1t fits the
figure very snugly, and twelve very
narrow plaits reach from the throat to
the hem of the garment both front and
back. Underneath these plaits behind
is set half belt which goes around in
front, and from it depends chatelaine
attached to velvet or leather shopping
bag.
Partisan mOdistes are making up very
handsome carriage, walking and visit
ing costumes with flat plaits set all
around the upper portion of the skirt,
ending in the full overlapping "Buck-
ingham" puff so becoming to slender
people. Beneath this puff, which ex-
tends all the way around to the back
drapery. are set panels alternating with
Hat killings. These panels are covered
with elaborate embrOideries, immense
palm patterns in applique, beaded orna-
ments of separate and special designs,
or an eschelle of cords with handsome
pendants on each panel.
Worth has recently sent to leading
house in this city variety of graceful
and elegant carriage wraps, among
them long Spanish mantle. of black
brocaded ottoman silk lined with palest
primrose surah, and trimmed with cas-
cades of real old Spanish lace. eight
inches wide. The lace is carried around
the foot of the mantle, headed by a
wide band of ietted passementerie.
An exceptionally handsome wrap in
visite shape. hanging beside it, was
made of black-brOcaded velvet with
sabot sleeves of silk chenille. covered
with cut jet and lined with Burgundy
red surah. The visite was otherwise
adorned with deep chenille fringe. satin
ribbon in long loops and ends, and large
jet clasps.
The English walking coats known as
the Newmarket, made of '.heather"
tweed, hunters green, or fancy basket
cloth. and fastened with silk cords and
brandebourgs, are quite as fashionable
as ever this season. These chic-looking
coats are infinitely more becoming to
graceful figures than dolman, cape, or
short visite, setting off the form to fine
advantage. They have very often an
undervest or regular Louis XIV. waist
coat of white-corded silk, or serge,
fastened down the front with small
silver buttons, style very popular just
now with young ladies who affect the
masculine in dress. The stylish "Dor-
say polonaise of plain cloth in dark
monochrome, or of cheviot in miniature
stripes and checks, is also highly popu-
lar. 1t is worn over skirts of velvet,
silk, or velveteen of a deeper shade than
the fabric composing the polonaise.-
