Fashion Items.

Worth has Just completed several
magnificent and novel robes for the
Princess Of Wales, and among them Is
DIRE composed OF crcam.whitc satin,
iuchessc lace, cream velvet brocadc and
plain pome granatc.velvct.
Among tho pretty fans carried this
season are those of large oval shape
made of white or tinted satin. and GOV.
cred with row after row Of painted lace.
In the center Is placed cluster OF pond
lilies mingled with fern frouds or
smilax.
Wide stripes appear TO be taking high
rank in the fashions OF The day, the
leading importing houses showing u re-
markable choice Of them. They AFRO
fash enable in silk and satin rs in other
materials. the difference observed being
that the silks are principally in light
evening tints, tho woolcns OF darker
shades. The stripes are often three
inches wide in satins, with nm alternate
stripe equally wide dotted at intervals
with tiny clusters Of embossed flowers
in natural hues. These str iped fabrics
are still very frequently Killed, even for
full.drcss wear, the plain stripe showing

Nearly all the white toilets for young
girls are now made with the round
waist. Some are Of the blouse shape.
for very slender young ladies', gathered
full at the throat, and also ut the waist.
The bodice opens surplicc-fashion.
showing chcmisctte Russo made OF
dainty lace or plated lisse caught in
front by draw.string of velvet or satin
ribbon. The Marguerite sleeves are
sometimes OF lace and sometimes of the
dress fabric trimmed with laco frills.
Often the white dress Is made up over
slip Of pink. blue, or mauve tafleta or
foulard, and trimmed with ribbons to
correspond. but the perfectly white
toilet, with broad white satin sash and
bows, is considered in more perfect
taste only relieved by bright lowers
placed here and there upon bodice and
skirt.
Royalty having very recently ordered
the wearing Of Irish poplins has, Of
course. brought those neglected fabri cs
into high fashion once again. The
newly imported poplns are scarcely to
be distinguished from some of the thick.
rich-ribbed ottoman silks which are 80
attractive, but wear so badly. The
makers of the new Irish poplins have,
while retaining the desired quantity OF
durability. succeeded in imparting
beautiful sheen TO tho surface. and by
rendering the material soft and flexible,
the requirements of present fashion for
graceful bouiIant drapings are fully
met. The latest high art tints are
shown rs well as the time seasoned
colors of golden fawn, gray. NATIVE,
and silver with which we are all famil-
lar. For bridal dresses, where for tho
sake of prejudice or economy white
satin is dispensed with, white poplu Is
exquisite, and really more becoming;
another thing in It's favor being that II
Mt any time desired II can when soilcd
be dyed any desirable color.

side, under the ear. with q silver bar or
lace pin. Now draw both ends towards
the throat in the center OF the corsage,
secure there, and allow the remaining
lengths to descend over the bust, 50 rs
TO form the fashionable bullying vest.
This Is done by turning the eLds UNDER
meath and fastening them with safety.

reach below the sixth button. or there
abouts, but a more elongated arrange
ment may be found Moro becoming D,.St. 70

be of the same Kind and color to zorro.
