FRENCH FASHION HINTS.

Changeablc hosiery is among the novelties.
Blue and gold, bronze and red, and red and
blue are favorite combinations.
A Moliere plastron of real Valenciennes
lace and white crepe de Chine, costing $3.50,
was recently made for New York lady.
Bronze, the exact color of bronze kid
slipper, is the new color in hosiery. Bronze
slippers and stockings exactly matching will
be the favorite footwear for dressy occasions.
The common sense" shoe for walking is
an established fact. This season the toes are
slightly rounded at the corners, but the heels
are seldom over three-quarters of an inch in
height
Profuse beading is everywhere evident.
Dresses, bonnets, mantles, even slippers,
give evidence of the general craze for heavy
jet ornamentation. Many wraps have shout
der-pieces composed entirely of bead-work,
for the brighter colored ones cashmere beads
being substituted instead of black
description of one of Worth's latest to be
worn at wedding: The skirt is % be OF
black and gold striped velvet, perfectly plain,
save for the little rufiling of plain velvet
round the edge The bodice and tunic are to
be made of plain black velvet, the former
opening over a waistcoat of Persian emhroid-
cry, in heroglyphics Of black on gold. The
collar and cuts are to match.
The French manner of wearing the hair at
the top of the head has not been found uni
yersally becoming. Those whom it does not
suit have not returned to the Grecan knot
in the nape of the neck, but have nit on a
medium plan-the front hair is a mass Of
short waved eurls, and the back is a rich coil
of thin plaits called "basket plaits," pinned
round aud round in the centre.
Accessories of the toilet are as numerous
and varied as ever, or more so. All the
laces that lady owns can be used In one
form or another, and she can add as many
of the new ones as she chooses. Polonaises
are made of old lace points, square shawls
and rotondes, whether of Chantilly, Llama,
! Spanish or French lace. Even garters, and
the tops of stockings are ornamented with
lace iounces, and lace rosettes with Jewel
centres decorate house and ball shoes and
slippers.
/ Amazone is again quite new fabric in its
present guise, for last year the stuff bearing
this name was plain, but now has crepe
like or wrinkled surface. Cloths woven to
resemble Grape are feature to be noted In
the fashions. A really delicious little mantle
for wearing to theatres is made of dark WALL
/ hower-red plush, lined with quilted plush
| pink silk and trimmed with skunk. The
shape is half mantle, half cape, and it is tied
in at the waist at the back, but falling below
it. In front the ends are rounded.
The ''Dauphin" collar has been much worn
/ in France. 1t is four inches deep and opens
in front, leaving a space for a gathered
drapery, which is fastrne down on either
side in shawl-shape and taken to the lower
! part of the waist, where it is slightly crossed.
This collar makes very pretty waist trim
ming, particularly for young ladies. 1t ia
made of the materials used for neck trim
mings, such as blue batiste dotted with red
OF white embroidered lawn with white dots,
or crepe lisse with silk embroidered designs.
