FIannels In Fashion.

One of the prettIest and most useful
materials i'll this seasons market is the
Jersey flannel, which is worn by persons
of all ages and pretensions. 1t Is soft,
warm and serviceable; it requires no
trimming, and its plant folds serve at
once to define good figure or to dis
guise poor one. The jersey dress is
what they call those gay-striped house
garments which are made quite plainly,
without oversikrts, with a snug, round
waist, and no garniture save bows of
satin or ottoman ribbon, launching all
the colors of the costume: The favorite
combinations are navy blue and red,
olive gold and red, red and black, gray
and black, and blue and gold. The latter
makes an especially stylish costume,
and will bear q sailor collar and cuffs of
blue Astr Ikhan cloth. In plain co!Crs,
Jersey flannel lis used for charming
negIlges of pale pink. and blue and
cream, elaborately trimmed with lace
and bows. 1t Is the material e-emi-
nent for children's coats, and the gayest
stripes are chosen for that purpose,
though ladies seldom wear this conspicu-
Gus material out of doors. These soft.
warm materials encourage the wearing
of white drey ses through the winter.
All manner of shaggy cloths are in favor,
and Turkish toweling has a share OF
the furor.
Some of the wool fabrics worn for
walking are suggestive of horse
blankets. but they are none the less ad-
mired. There IS one style of twilled
cloth that has raised figures like Berlin
work. and another that shows rich plush
designs on cashmere groundwork.
Dark rich plaids are also fashionable,
but for street costumes there Is nothing
more popular than simple. plain cloth
in mushroom, garnet, dark blue or the
green shades trimmed with reed feathers
or bands of fur. Otter continues to be
q favorite fur trimming, but woven
bands of ostrich feathers swans down
are worn by those who can afford them.
This feather trimming averages about
six inches IN width, and costs from foui
to SIX dollars yard. 1t is put around
the bottom of the long, straight over
skirt OF tallor-made suits. around the
neck and sleeves. The very short
basques have a plain finish. These
several costumes have no display be-
yond the rather ugly waterfall back
which punches all the fulness in a
single, bouffant puff close up to the
waist over the full of the basque. Some
Of these walking costumes are trimmed
with braid, metal braids beng worn,
with cords and clasps of metal to match
the general garniture. Oxidizst silver
is especially popular, and reappears in
the fashionable Jewelry and buttons.
