put little of the latter in a cup, and after

FASHION NOTES
Improved underwear, as combination
garments are called, were some time in
making Roadway against the popular habit
and prejudice in favor of separate vests and
drawers; but they have steadily advanced
in the good graces of the buyers until now
they are represented and sold side by side
with the separate garments by the most
| conservative dealers, and the agents of the
English as well rs American manufacture
ers. 1t is unfortunate for women who like
home manufactures aud would gladly wear
the union suit as made in this country that
it is so high in price, the cost being ST each
for the best winter grade and s. for
lighter mixed quality These are the
prices of both the "Union" and the
Alpha" (ribbed), while the Golden
Fleece" imported, and better shaped and
finished, is only $4.75 after paying the
heavy duty. At the price of wool in this
country the profit on the American combi
nation suits must be very large. 1t seems
wicked to charge such annihilating rates
for goods that are necessary to the health
and comfort OF every one, and that would
be purchased SO much more widely if they
only came within the means, as they ought,
| of women and families of small means, and
who depend on daily labor for a livelihood.
The low price of wool is of little benefit TO
these poor workers, for the price of warmth
to them, Iii the manufactured article, re-
mains the same. In home manufactures
we have nothing equivalent to the finest
merino wear imported, which cost 81 for a
combination, $3.50 each for vest and draw
ers. These, however, are surpassed by the
silk knitted vests, drawers and combina-
lions, the former only made in pink, the
latter in pink and yellow, and sold at about
double the price of the finest wool gar
ments Knitted silk underwear is genu-
Inc luxury, one that may fairly be called
Joy to the possessor. 1t is very elastic.
and clings to the figure like silken skin.
Some ladies have them knit by hand, and
| the cost of silk alone for vest made re-
Gently was So. But knitted silk underwear
which more than any other material ex-
cludes cold and maintains warmth while
promoting an equal and active circulation.
: Demorest.
Costumes for this season are frequently
made of striped wooden material, combined
with plain ditto. The striped fabric can
be employed for the trimming. As for
dresses made entirely Of self-colored ma
torial, they are mostly trimmed with some
of those galloons which are used in pro-
fusion this season, and which are either
plain, brocaded or in open-work patterns
For plain serge dress, wooden galloon
or braid about half an inch wide, plain or
brocaded, but of color contrasting with
the serge, is used for trimming the lower
part of the skirt over a distance of about
sixteen inches Over this skirt is worn
striped scarf, stretched in front and at the
side, loose at the back, and falling into two
long and ample lapels The outline of
this scarf is simply edged with several
rows of stitching made by machine. The
bodice is doable-breasted, with one reverse,
which Is continued all the way down and
trimmed with galloons like those of the
skirt. Tight sleeves, with deep facing,
slanted off at the top and trimmed with
GALLONS. The colors preferred for this
style of costume are dark blue, garnet-red
and all shades of dark gray.
We have novelty to mention in the
way Of sleeves. 1t is the Cardinal sleeve,
quite loose plated all the way down, and
put on so as to be pulled at the armhole
These sleeves, forming sort Of drapery,
are very graceful to the figure. Any sort
Of plaitS will do for the sleeve; hollow
piiats, however, are those which look best
The hollow part Of the plat may be lined
Of some tissue the color of which harmon
lies with that Of the dress, or matches one
of the shades of the pattern.
Narrow GALLONS spangled with gold sill
yer or steel are put on in numerous rows
over most of the new costumes.
Another style of sleeves is that called
Ia Religieusc This sleeve is more or less
loose OF pulled, .hree-quartcrs long on the
inner side, folded back at the edge, and
completed by tight sleeve added on, and
which is, in fact, nothing but very deep
facing or gauntlet trimmed with GALLONS,
lace or embroidery, according to the style
of the dress.
Nantes for this season are made in the
shape of paletots, fitted to the figure at the
back, loose and pointed in front, with non
descript sleeves, something betwixt those
of the visite and those of the paletot of
former seasons.
Dresses are made either with the amply
draped puff, falling loose, or with the full |
hollow plaits coming down to within an
inch or two of the edge of the skirt the |
front is generally trimmed with some short |
drapery, either in the shape of a scarf or
small panniers; the underSkirt is either |
PLAIN or plotted in either case it is mostly |
trimmed with many rows of galloon. The |
fashion of bodies vary much There is the
jacket or yeste, the cuiraSs, the blouse, the |
full plastron and the neat waistcoat or gilet.
Besides, gal!oon and braid velvet is much
used by way OF trimming.
A pretty dress is of biege cloti. and a
thicker wooden fabric of the same shade, |
brocaded with pattern of small butterflies
in brown and old gold the skirt, of cloth,
is plain and round, plated at the back
only, without any trimming; the polonaise,
OF the brocaded material, is fastened slant
ways; it is long on one side and short on
the other, and trimmed over each front
with deep revers of golden-brown velvet;
belt Of the same velvet; the bodice is but
toned on one side with large velvet but
tons; the long sleeves have velvet facings
Another is of fancy striped material
and gray cashmere The skirt is trimmed
with fine tucks, with rows of galoon be-
tween; a long polonaise of the stripped
material is looped up three times; the
draperv at the back is very long, coming
down almost to the foot of the skirt The
fronts of the bodice are plated and crossed
over the chest; the plaits are fastened at
the waist line with Il cross band covered
with GALLONS. The sleeves, a la Religieuse,
have the plain part trimmed with gallons
to match.
Striped and brocaded wooden fabrics will
be worn through the winter sea-
SON; but self-colored materials are gener-
ally combined with these, and also very
used alone. Dark shades of
green, blue, red and brown appear in most
Of the new costumes, while lighter shades
appear in stripes and fancy patterns.
Checks are rather at discount; but the
large chess-board patterns are still in favor
md appear not only in dresses, but also in
raveling mantles and wraps.
