The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1885-10-03
NOTES.
Fasl ionable Brevities Which Have an
Everyday Interest.

Little boys suits are now trimmed
with many parallel rows OF buttons. 1t
gives the dear children something to
play with, and they produce new effects
every day or two by picking off fresh
group of assorted ornaments, and stow
ing them away in their pockets or losing
them altogether.
Velvet sashes are to be lined and
finished at the end like purses with a
tassel. This gives charming Oriental
effect and makes a simple ribbon sash
look stiff and wooden. Black velvet,
lined with Roman scarf, is nothing
short of bewitching, especially when
worn with cream white.
Leashing the frock on the shoulder so
as to show pulfs of lace or plain surfaces
ofasecond material beneath is the newest
device. 1t is rather prettyin a gala-day
costume, provided the material which

laid on the bed.
The new lead shades are just far
enough from the cadet and Shaker
grays to make them look questionable.
The modern manufacturer is the most
artful of creatures, with more tints in
his list than Il cashmere shawl weaver.
There has been q slight revival of the
talk about healthful dress lately, and
the commentator of the Princess trock,
because all of its weight depends from
the shoulder, is again on its rounds.
Now the weight of Princess frock does
not depend from the shoulder if the
waist be fitted, and anybody ought to be
able to see it, but the dress reformers dc
not.
An English milliner has actually Coz
descended to make lace bonnet which
is as light as feather, having no frame
except three wires, between which lies
a putting of illusion. Velvet frills or
the border, and a'cloud of illusion flung
over the puffings, with very full strings
complete a head covering as light as
thistle down.
