are once more in great vogue for
dressy toilets.
Long visits are made with the new
woolen fabrica which initiate a lace
pattern placed over colored lining.
Thick ribbed faille and Ottoman silk
are once more all the style, while satin
is decidedly cast into the shade.
Stripes are once more very fashion
able; they are worn of various styles
and in various materials.
Sashes are still worn, and are gen.
orally worn so as to form a point in
front at the waist.
Tints in gloves run from the deepest
dye to an invisible shade, paying no
attention to the color.
Wide girdles of braid are specially
elegant for tall, slender figures, and are
worn twice around the waist.
Steel jewelry is again in favor The
new scarbee jewelry is quite popular.
1t is in all sorts Of quaint designs.
Flannels and mixtures in tricot cloth
are seen among the new dress fabrics
for ordinary wear.
Indian shawl or Persian bordering to
plain Oriental-looking stuffs are among
the handsomest novelties of the season.
The leading colors in gloves for street
wear, whether of kid, suede or silk, are
shades of tan, slate, brown, olives and
grays.
The newest stockings have the feet,
ankles and halfway the calf in solid
color, the upper half in contrasting
color
The majority vote will be for tall hats
and narrow brins, with trimmings well
in front and discarding of birds and
wings
The new frse wool ribbons, finished
with satin on the reverse side, are used
for full bonnet trimmings, with strings
to match
Novelty in silks in represented by a
great variety Of stripes, some regular,
others of unequal widths, some in relief,
others brocaded.
Effort is again made to revive the
use of old Chantlly lace, and new pat
terms are shown, designed for aounces
and trimming
Brown wooden beads bid fair to be
one of the leading colors, in conse-
quence of the sudden craze for embroi-
deries of wooden beads.
A new feature in lace goods is the
use of fine crepe lisse instead of net for
the foundation of Oriental and Egyptian
Aouncings and edgings.
Another style much in favor is that
of materials over which laced pattern
is printed or brocaded in black or IN a
different color over colored ground.
Evening-dresses are less draped and
looped up, but are not much more sim
pie for all that. They are generally
made with two skirts, one opening over
the other.
| Brocaded silks are still fashionable,
but the new styles do not resemble
former ones. They are velvet patterns,
brocaded in high relief over ground
of thickly-ribbed silk rep.
/
Jackets are very fashionable they are
generally made of woolen material,
trimmed with galloon, chenille Oh
MORE round the edge, the collar,
sleeves and fronts.
One of the most striking novelties in
wooen goods is porcupine cloth, can
vasfabric with ends of hard twisted wool
standing out from it like the pile OF
plush, yet nearly SO closely set
Capotes are now higher than ever in
the border, but there is change in the
style Of the trimming. This now ire
quently consists in tips Of ostrich fea-
theirs put on the back of the crown and
dropping over the top
/
For simple walking dresses rough
looking woolen tissues are preferred, in
dark shades of brown and bronze green,
They are trimmed with the thick-ribled
braid known by the name of gallon nus
60yite:
Immense metal buttons again dispute
with bead and silk cord, fastenings for
the suffrage of fashionable followers.
These buttons are employed not only
on jackets, but in trimming dresses also.
Unless, however, of the best quality,
the size of these buttons tends to vulgar
| ize them.
A charming dinner-dress is of plain
rose-colored silk, trimmed in the lower
part of the skirt with narrow huted
hounces and covered with bronze
green blond The lace is slightly
draped SO as not to remain quite plain,
and the bodice opens over pleated
plastron of rose-colored Grape. This
extremely pretty bodice is of rose
colored faillc, yelled over with blond
and with blond edging round the
basque. 1t is most becoming fashion.
The blond now employed is of a
tirm, thick texture, is norwise resembl
ing the spun air tissues in vogue few
