Hints Regarding the Latest Styles In Dress
at Home and Abroad.
Some of the new cashmere gloves
have the long wrists embroidered in
chain stitch on the closed tops with silk
of a pale shade.
Fancy bonnets are made of tinsel and
novelty fabrics of various kinds over
frames of wires and lace net
New silk jerseys are beautifully
beaded with jet in various designs, and
sometimes in patterns covering the
whole garment.
The most stylish handkerchiefs are
plain white, with narrow hens and
tucks, or borders composed of squares
formed of alternating thick and trans
parent blocks.
Among other delicate and novel bon
net trimmings are limitations of birds
wings and tails of crepe lisse embroidered
in white silk applique on velvet, and
also in delicate gilt thread on black
lace.
Dresses made entirely of lace are a
dainty novelty worn by those who can
afford such expensive luxuries. Made
over black silk, they are worn for
dress occasions in the daytime, and over
silks of delicate colors for evening.
Nothing can be more elegant. Black
marquise lace, very beautiful silk lace,
with exquisite flowers and vines on a
fine net ground, is used for this pur-
pose, as well as the French and Chan
lilly laces.
Jersey waists of solid color are worn
with gay striped or plated skirt and
sash, by little girls.
The black armure grenadines are used
as the principal part of costume, with
a Breton vest and plain lower skirt that
has three cross stripes of pale blue with
golden-brown or olive, with black ar
mure stripes as well, or else the gayest
scarlet stripes are alternated with dull
green and gold, with black stripes at
intervals.
The French pophn, or, as it is also
called, faille franchise, resembles gros
grain of light weight and fine reps. and
is almost as light as the silk surahs
which it promises to rival for summer
dresses.
Checked materials are combined with
plain ones in very effective manner.
A stylish polonaise is open from the
shoulders to the waist line, slantwise,
over plain plastron. At the waist it
is fastened with metal clasp or plain
bow of velvet. Then it opens again
over the skirt, falling into shawl
point on each side. At the back it
forms draped puff, also finished into a
shawl point
The new pinafore front, revival of
the JewesS tunic, is style likely to
find favor with economical women,
both as means OF freshening an old
dress and making the same dress do
duty as two distinct toilet;es. 1t is, as
its name indicates, an apron, fitted to
the figure and covering the whole front
Of the dress from the shoulders down;
its effect is greatly improved by cutting
Sits in either side little below the
waist-line near the hips, and draping a
plain sash through them, letting it form
feStoon in front and full ends behind.
For very light dresses for summer
evenings the nuns veilings have the
bayadere stripes of white or silver or
gilt to be made up with plain white
yelling.
The Algerienne stripes of many gay
colors across the fabric from selvage to
sewage are very effective in grenadines
or nuns veilings for combination with
plain goods.
For children's dresses, especially for
kilt skirts and sash drapery, there are

brightest cross stripes of blue with gold,
red and blue, or brown with yellow and
red.
Ecru canvass or etamine. in small
mesheS, makes quiet and tasteful
dresses, with wool lace of the same
shade and some ribbon bows for gar
niture. A silk false skirt and waist lin
ing are necessary for such dress.
Havana brown is favorite color for
the spring.
White with brown velvet is a new
combination.
Embroideries are works of art, car
ried out in chenille, beads and gold
thread and shaded like painting.
White and black is a fashionable
combination for evening.
Trains apparently distinct from the
front breadth are worn, the front breadth
being either of brocade or beaded or
embossed fabric, the back of some
heavy stuff like velvet or satin.
Colored silk Innings are placed in
brocade wraps. and as they are visible
in the wide sleeves add pretty and
becoming touch of bright color.
A very lovely mantle is of moss green
brocade showing an ottoman satin
ground, with raised velvet flowers in
the same shade. A wide band of ostrich
feather trimming outlines the edge,
and the lining is of bright red silk.
Wide bands for covering the skirts of
cloth suits, made of wide and narrow
braid crocheted in elaborate patterns
with heavy silk cord, are seen in sets
comprising sxir. and waist trimmings.
