Fashion Notes.

the list of new spring hats.
The close English couture still pre-
walls.
Russell brown is preferable to gray
for brides travelling dresses.
Jet embroidered Jerseys will be very
fashionably worn this spring over Jet
trimmed skirts, and apron TUNES of
black gros-grain silk.
Ad Unstable trains for evening toilets
are some of them made with Vatican
fold, carried from the drapings of the
long skirt to the back of the neck of the
bodice. They are fastened to the dress
and corsage by means of the new pat
ent safety hooks.
We answer Yes to the sNew England
Lassie" who writes to inquire if it
would do to wear stylish tweed tailor
made costume to church when she
comes to New York to visit. If she
imaglnes that every lady who attends
service in New York is arrayed in pur-
pie and fine linen she will find out to
the contrary when she arrives.
Very stylish looking promenade cos
tunes are shown made of olive or laurel
green bison cloth or French tricot, ele-
giant in fit and finish. The skirts plated
in flat kits, alternating with eight-inch
wide panels. Above the full Bucking-
ham tunic is worn long French-Guard
coat with narrow Directoire vest Of
dark-green velvet inserted down the
front, fastened with gold buttons, and
trimmed with dark-green braiding in
arabesque designs. A similar pattern
is worked upon the panels of the skirt.
An exquisite dress has the skirt of
sheeny silver gray satin TRAINED with
wide LOUNGES of lace in duchesse point
and old Venetian patterns intermin-
gled. Down either side of the front is
a wide panel of gray satin brocaded
with tiny bouquets of small, brilliantly
colored flowers. The blossoms are mar
velously beautiful in shading, with
many of the petals wrought in silver.
The bodice and train are of plain
satin, with one side of the train trimmed
with the cascades of the lace mingled
with French flowers exactly matching
those of the brocade. Lace and flowers
adorn the neck of the half low corsage.
Ottoman fabrics have seen their best
days, as is evidenced by their being Of
fered at a great reduction from their
original prices. In their places are Of
fered imperial cords with the rep run
ming vertically. These goods are very
handsome, and come in all the soft neu-
trail shades of the season as well as in
dark street tones. Irish poplins are also
exhibited in rich colors of russell brown,
Quaker gray, invisible green, golden
fawn, marine blue, silver, ashes of roses
and deep ruby. Basket cloths, armures,
French tricots, bison cloths and fine
tweeds are again imported, all to be
used in the creation of the natty and
lady-like tailor-made costumes which
are now at the zenith of their popularity
in America.
Many skirts of plain wooden materi-
ais are combined with corresponding
substances in basket patters. Occasion
ally it is a lozenge spot or crescent, or
some other set pattern worked in silks
of mingled colors. One imported cos
tune designed for afternoon at the sea-
shore is made of almond-colored French
cashmere over a skirt of dark plum col
ored velvet. The long apron overdress
and bodice are covered with dark plum
colored flowers in detached SPRAYS APP
pliqued at intervals over the entire sur
face.
A young lady at an evening party in
this city recently wore trained dress
of cream white tulle, upon which APP
peared not an inch of lace or trimming
ofany description, with the exception Of
full plaitings of the silky tulle. There
was not even frill of lace to border
the square opening of the corsage, or
lace rutfles to edge the half-long sleeves
their place being taken by narrow
knife-plaitings of the airy dress fabric.
No flowers were worn, the mousque-
taire gloves and the dainty sandals were
of white Danish kid, and the only at
tempt at ornamentation was magnif-
cent diamond cross at the throat, sus-
pended from delicate necklace OF
pearls, and diamond saber thrust
through the coils of golden hair, which
was arranged la Gainsborough. The
young lady presented a picture of fair,
girlish beauty and simplicity, despite
her diamonds.
Ring cloth is the name of a new,
sheer, black wool dress fabric resem-
bling nuns yelling, which will in a
measure take the place of black grena-
dine the coming season. The cloth has
silk warp, and is so delicate and
beautifully fine that the entire width of
the fabric, measuring forty ight inches,
may be drawn through tnger-ring.
Hence its title.
Chemisettes russo and guimps, made
of very white ''all over" embroidery,
will be worn with zephyr ginghams,
sateens and French organdies. In q
few French models of afternoon dresses
already sent over, the bordering to the
tunic and che sleeves, as well as the
guimps, are made of exquisitely en-
broidered French muslin, or of the Rus
sian embroidery. When used for chill
dren, known as point sans envers, or
needle-work having no wrong side.-
