scARFs AND COLLARS.


ScARFs AND COLLARS.
/ Linen collars are high and straight
in military style, but The corners IN
front are curved instead of being
square. A row Of fine thick needle
work or an edge Of hemstitching
forms the trimming. The turned
over fronts in English style are also
seen again. To wear with open
throated dresses q short ehemisette
Of embroidery or Of tucklng, with
drawn work or insertion between
groups Of tucks, is added to plain or
embroidered linen collars. For
travelling, these high shapes, with a
well starched chemisette, are made
of barred, striped or embroidered
ginghams or percaIes.
Silk muslin or null scarfs and
square neckerchiefs have bands and
stripes in dull moyenage colors.--
There are also printed designs OF
birds and flowers OF natural colors
in the borders of square null hand
kerchiefs for the neck. Wide white
embroidered muslin scarfs are used
as neckties for little girls.
The canvas and muslin folds with
silver threads forming cross bars, or
with silver braid cdging each fold,
are much used with black dresses.
For mourning are folds OF black
silk muslin with bead stitched dots
of embroidery upon them to be worn
in the neck and sleeves and also to
form plastrons gathered in the open
square neck.
HOSIERY.
PLAIN black hosiery win remain in
fashion during the summer, but q
marked Improvement in these is
having the heel, toe, and sole of the
stocking white instead Of black. In
silk and Isle thread hose there are
small sprays or dots Of embroidery
either white, black, or in colors, on
the instep or are clocked at the
sides.
Slate and lead colored stockings
are the latest, and merchants pro-
vide hose to match costumes
Nearly all the late manufactures Of
hose have white soles, and in many
cases the stocking foot is entirely
white.
Short socks will be worn by small
boys with their kilt suits during the
summer.
ODDS AND ENDS OF FASHION.
Small velvet mantles trimmed
with black lace, viii be used for
spring wear.
Small sleeveless jackets are large.
" adopted for evening wear and for
other dressy occasions. They should
be Of costly fabric and trimmed with
rich lace and embroidery.
Squares OF soft null painted in
madras plaids or stripes are import
cd for neckcrchiefs to be worn when
the summer days arrive.
Plain white handherchiefs of sheer
grass cloth have n large monogram
or the crest embroidered in several
colors in the corner.
Coquettish aprons are made OF
large sized silk handherchiefs in gay
c0lOrs.
Spangled braid is one of the latest
novelties in trimming, and looks as
If either shot with gold or silver.
A pretty ivory button is made
with bali of its surface polished and
the other half IN diagonal lines.--
Another button has block imitat-
Ing braid, IN the centre.
The coming color is green in all
It's shades and harmonies, plain and
changeable.
Large dragon flies OF gilt, with
gauze-like wings and ieweled eyes,
are shown for bonnet ornaments, as
are also long pins with claw at the
end holding pearl or catseye Or
one of the electric stones that shine
SO brilliantly at far less cost than
even the California diamond
Light green sealing wax il now
being used in correspondence by the
aesthetic class.
The large envelopes which allow.
ed the paper to go without being
folded, are now considered elegant
for notes, invitations and responses.
A broad band OF velvet around
the middle or the cores is tasteful
trimming for plain satin parasoIs.
Others have plain border Oh the
edge, while the middle parts are
brocaded in small figures.
A new fancy is single large bow
OF gay ribbon, set on one gore near
the top, while a similar bow and a
loop to pass over the hand are at.
attached to the handle.
