NAY FASHION NOTES.

. EAVSA AZ sS1S RVp1tnA ~
Sacque dresses are the favorite style for little
girls.
Decollete corsages are worn over high-necked
lace waists.
Jerseys and jersey cloth still retain their hold
upon popular favor.
The silken chain scarf is used for trimming
hats IL is made in all colors.
Brocaded MORE antique is again q fashionable
fabric for elegant toilets. In white these superb
materials are much used for bridal toilets.
A striking evidence of the sensible character
OF fashions edicts for this seasons wear is seen
IN the fact that wooden goods are preferred to all
others, not only for street wear, but also for
Semi-dreEg.
A boaaes of willow green Grape is embroidered
With butter-colored silk. 1t is trimmed with
bsys of velvet of the two colors set in front, and
With Wild pansies and pale yellow flowers OF vel
Esk The strings are of willow green velvet.
Il new wrinkle for the ladies shown in stores
Is a long piece of glove kid rolled into the shape
Of a very slender fishing cork and colored TO
match the hair. 1t is very pliabie, and is used
in the place of curl papers or tins. 1t is said to
look better than the tin or paper, and not to in
jure the hair.
The graceful sheperdess hat. with rolling brim
and high peaked crown, will be a favorite head
covering for young girls this summer, and will
form a corresponding accompaniment to the
pretty Gretchen or Watteau<dresses made of the

A pretty model for a surah Or India silk has a
round whist, with bels and buckle, and round
skirt, will the long. round tunic recently re-
viyed by Worth. This falls in irregular folds
almost to the foot of the dress. except on the
left. where it is canghs up to show a broad side
panel of fo~rty-two-inct lace, either cream, white,
ccru or black, as best suits the dress.
Ia gloves there are few. very few, changes to
note The best and most conservative taste de-
mands a plain. perfect fitting glove. either in
line dressed kid or the undressed, now so popu-
lar. AS long as gloves are considered absolutely
tho rule for ladies who make any pretensions TO
being fashionable, the mousquetalre will con-
tinue TO be- the most desirable style for general
wear.
The chatelaine dress has the underskirt with
out trimming or with a plain band of velvet. The
oyerdress is nearly as long as the skirt and is
Topped only on one side nearly to the hip. 1t
has no trimming, although, if the wearer fancy,
one of the corners is turned and the revers lined
With some beautiful material. so that it appears
like the lining of the entire skirt. The under
skirt is only visible on the side where the over
dress is looped.
A pretty change easily afforded to those who
already possess a dress OF plain white yelling or
cashmere made last year. is the purchase of
about five yards of double-width goods matching
the hue and fabric of the skirt portion, but
embroidered or brocaded with small dots or other
figures in manve, pale blue, brown, etc. The

one, while the cost for sufficient quantity Of the
new figured material to make a round waist and
apron oyerdress, Or a long polonaise will be
really very little.
Etamine scarfs and kerchiefs are the favorite
novelty in millinery. The kerchiefs are twisted
into a fan bow with all the four ends pointing
upwards, and held by ornamental pins; or the
kerchief may be strapped across through the
middle both ways, and held by a fold of velvet.
This fold is fastened directly in the center of

and brought down over the sides of the hat
A bunch of fancy quilts and a dozen fancy
pins form the further trimmings, and the rolled
brim is faced with velvet like the knot on the
crown.
Some of the new fish wife poke bonnets are
more rounding in shape, and not so narrow about
the ears, or so high and peaked in the crown as
formerly, making them much moro becoming to
the generality of faces than the towering peaked
shapes as first introduced. These bonnets are
now chosen and appropriately worn by ladies of
every age, and they are shown In every size.
The more exaggerated shapes give a quaint and
~piQuant look. to the faces, of pretty blooming
young ladies. while the larger modified styles
fmpart a certain stately and high-bre appear
ance TO nations of mature years. Altogether,
the fsh-wife bonnet is a favorite.
Foreign fashion papers report that very broad
stripes are gaining. They are arranged with
plain material in various ways. Some form a
skirt in front and fat folds down the center OF
the back, with the plain materia! draped at the
sides like long, dropping wings, made all in one
with the bodice. Others have the back breadths
OF the striped, and the rest of plain material,
with an under bodice of the striped and a zouave
Jacket of plain goods. The latest London fancy
for lawn tennis is broad striped skirting-the
stripes from two to three inches wide, with the
new shades of plain or pinstriped flannel draped
over them. They are mostly plain, full skirts,
bat a few are plated. The bodice is a jersey, in
one or other of the colors of the broad stripe.
