SOMETHING TO WEAR AND THE
LATEST STYLES.
Hints Concerning the Various Depart
ments of Dress, With General
Notes and Fancies.

The days for plaided materials for dress
goods is not over, says the New York
Post, Though less universally worn, the
style has been given new impetus by the
fact that the trousseau of the Princess Bea-
triee included number of tartan costumes
for tennis, travelling and promenade wear.
Few Of the new plaided costumes are made
of these goods solely, plain wooden, finer
plaid, and often striped goods in combina-
ton being considered more stylish. The
latest models have fan panel at the side,
with tunic and vest or blouse front draped
on the cross, the diagonal lines then not
having the effect of increasing size. Many
of the front drapings fall in deep killed
folds each side of the fan panel on the left
which is usually made of the checked and
plain WOODEN goods combined, the tunic be
ing of the large plaid The jacket is then
OF the check, with fiat or blouse vest of the
large plaid, and collar and cuffs of the plain
fabric. There is an entire absence of brill
liant coloring in the most elaborate plaids.
cream and pine-green, marine-blue and
white, or Neapolitan-blue and ecru, and
like combinations prevailing. There are
often five distinct shades of one color in the
plaids of a single costume for instance in
olives, green's, dark wines and browns with
out limit.
JACKETS AND JERSEYS.
Another velvet season is promised, and
after all, what is richer or more becoming +?
New shades and colors have been intro
duced in velveteens of heavy weave for
fall and winter wear, and this combines
handsomely with the new coarse woven
woods which have been brought into favor
by the Princess Beatrice. These are invoiced
as Scotch cloths. and come in a variety of
diagonal and plain weaves and in effective
color mixtures. The Scotch cheviots are
shown in stripes and borders, and look
very coarse, but are very high priced. They
combine extremely well with velvet or vel
veteen, and also very handsomely with
silk. They are accepted by leading Pa
risians and English ladies.-[ Brooklyn

JEwELEY SEEN IN THE GAY WORLD.
Rocco jewelry, like that worn by the
Italian peasants, is very popular
Lizards, spiders, butterflies, mice and
ravens are some of the odd fancies in Jew
elry
Daggers, jeweled or plain, are worn as
hair ornaments, as well as for fastening the
corsage bouquet.
Silver chains of dark color are also much
used, especially with brooches made OF
antique silver coins.
French women wear necklaces that are,
like their bracelets, enlarged, but these have
not yet found favor here
Rhinestone pins, with long silver dagger
shaped ends, or like a great needle, are
thrust through lace bows at the throat.
The ribbon velvet necklace, fastened by
a jeweled button or tiny brooch, is found
to be more becoming than any Of gold or
silver
a ball of hammered gold, or else one ct
with rubies, sapphires and diamonds or
enameled with brilliant colors, tips the
hanging end OF the chain.
Small pins for the bonnet strings have
an enameled leaf or flower, butterfly or
bee. or are in the shape Of a shepherds
crook, with pearl and turquoise studding
the crooked end. f.
Watch chains are short and hung pend
ant from the front of the corsase, in which
the watch is thrust-a bad thing for the
watch, however, as the moisture from the
person Injuries its delicate works
Belts may almost be considered jewelry
by reason Of their clasps of old silver or
richly chased or hammered gold. Some are
studded with brilliant Rhinestones, and
Others in rocco fashion have garnets, tur-
quoises and pearls set together
The belt may be only an inch and
quarter wide for short wasted figures.
while those for longer waists are from two
to three inches broad. They are made of
black, brown or ecru leather, and may be
had of seal or alligator skin or OF the
smoother feathers.
