Fashion Items.

The newest designs in bangle brace
lets and lace pins are in Moorish and
Renaissance devices.
Very long jersey gloves of cashmere
or hne Austrian wool, devoid of but
tons, come in all the dark street shades
to match the costume.
a novelty in lace is the Pompadour
pattern-a darned net, with fine
pearled edge and raised figure in silk
muslin; the designs in flowers, such as
fuchsias, lilies of the valley, and other
pendant flowers, are very effective
Be Spring serges and basket-cloths are
mostly in plaids, in even or irregular
patterns, and in quiet. neutral tones of
ecru, fawn color, and pale cinnamon
brown, enlivened by dashes or inter
secting hair lines of some bright color.
Broken and fancy checks are more in
use than the shepherds plaid or
inch blocks.
The Directoire, Marie Stuart, Queen
Nab, Corday Cottage, and close French
capote bonnets all reappear again this
season, with slight notifications. Some
of the new bonnets and round hats
have the crowns oddly dented ssthrough
the center, and one unique head-dress
has high peak oddly shaped on the
left side of the brim, into which are
set gay-hued blossoms and leaves, max
ing the bonnet, with its penthouse
front, look like a Gothic window
adorned with flowers. r
Bodiceswith crenelated edges are still
in favor. The tabs are trimmed in
many different ways-with braid-work,
eordings Of silk and passementerie, or
with embroidery or beaded applique or
naments placed in the centre of each
block. Pointed bodices, very narrow at
the sides, are much worn, with the over
dress or tunic applied to the under side
of the corsage, and not gagged to the
outside as formerly. The round basque
is cut veryshort and the position basque
is cutwith the centre seam opening over
a shell pleating or double pleat in
serted in each seam. Si 20
/ e. Black will be in high vogue for the
two coming seasons, both in thick and
thin materials, and many superb even
ing, dresses are being made of this SOM
Der hue, enlivened by profusion of Jet
beads, gold trimmings or colored flow
ers. An immense quantity of lace will
be worn as trimmings, and the magnif-
cent head garnitures-tabliers, panels,
applique bands, berthas and .fraises--
become more and more elaborate, each
new design being more intricate and
beautiful than the last. e,
Fine woollen dresses in dark mono
chrome colors, and tweeds, serges, and
cheviots, with deep founces edged with
cross-way bands of velveteen5 of the
best quality, are very fashionable. The
fiounces are put on with several rows
Of 'sgroovedn shirrings. The back
tirapery is a blending of the two ma
SERIALS, and the jacket is of the woollen
material rounded in front over a iaunty
waistcoat made of the. velyeteen, and
laced up to the throat with fine silk
cord, twined around double row of
tiny enamel buttons. Among the wool
len most appropriate for utility
purposes is Limousine cloth-a wear
defying fabric with dull brown and gray
grounds, on which are bright stripes Of
cardinal and deep shades of gold and
and green. These goods are very service
able, and do not look much more worn at
the end of the. season than at the be-
ginning of their career. They are a
perfect boon to mothers with school
girl daughters, who show no mercy to
their everyday clothes.-N. Y. Post.
