don.

very high.
No iewelry is worn on the street in
New York.
The mutton-leg sleeve appears on some
of the new dresses.
New street suits are made of wooden
stuff of two colors.
Boys wear the Russian blouse until
they are six or eight years of age.

sleeves of many of the newest black silk

The favorite wrapper for the bridal out
fit is of pale blue or pale pink cashmere,
and is embroidered with rosebuds.
White velvet and brocade is a favorite
combination for bridal dresses Brides
maids are dressing in contrasting colors.
Tailor-madc dresses are still very
popular The newest have the plaitings
and tunic, waist and jacket all bound
round with black silk braid.
High coiffures have come back into
fashion, and are merely French twist,
with the ends that come out at the top
laid in loops on the crown.
Summer shirtings are adorned with tho
most grotesgue figures. A monkey with
violin, Kate Greenaway girls and jap
anese designs are the mildest.
e Among the novelties are clocks covered
with tufted satin and with an illuminated
dial, new time standard, and designed
for bedroom, mantel or night table.
English women have begun to adopt q
fashion introduced by graceful Span
lard at recent reception in London-a
kid-embroidered jacket, matching the
exact shade of the velvet skirt.
The new large pattern sateens and per
Gales will be made up in combination
with plain sateens and percales without
figures, but fine finish, and in colors to
match the grounds of the colored stuffs.
Garnet and blue, garnet and wood
color, bronze and ruby and bronze and
blue are combined in the new Partisan

Some of the prettiest and most unique
of the recently made capotes have the vel
vet full or box-plaited on the crown, and
the brim cleft little to the left side o.
the front and slightly turned back, ane
filling the cleft bow of bias velvet or o.
wide velvet ribbon.
Dolmans of black velvet brocade lined
with old gold or crimson satin, and
trimmed with heavy chenille fringe, are
very much worn. 1t is pity that
chenille fringe is not more durable. Il
makes the prettiest kind of trimming
but cannot be worn more than two dozer
times.
The New York patterns for cottor
frocks have short skirts made with large
plaits, drapery gathered high on the sides
and very full in the back, and sleeves sci
high on the shoulder. When two mate
rails are used the underskirt is plain; the
plating at the hem is retained, and thu
Molicre waistcoat is used
