THE FASHIONS.
Paris Eancies.

''Tulle is to have rivals for evening dress,"
says The Queen. Much crepe de chine, areo-
plane and lisses are being used. Areo-
phane is certainly soft and charming
fabric, both for dresses and millinery. Crepe
lisse is dressed softer than has been. Lisse
Florentine as it is now often called, is quite
different from mouseline de soir, which it
rivals in favor. Crepe de chine has
larger range of coloring than it has ever
had, blue, states, grays, four tones ofbeige,
pink and cream. Some of these are en-
broidered in stripes of self tones with tam
bour. The same sort of embroidery is APP
piled to lisse, and both are used as dra-
peries. Stripped tulle is another novelty.
This has interviewer lines like a crepe, pro-
duced by curious trick of weaving, the
machines being stopped at regular inter
walls and so allowed to form the stripe. 1t
is made in some twenty shades.
|. As the season progresses Oriental striped
gauzes will be worn also under tlouncing
in many materials. Plush stripes, if a
contrasting color, in cotton are new, and
Turkish crepe, which is to be had ut low
prices, is being made up into some light
and pretty costumes for summer wear. Can
vas is quite the fashion, but the newest de-
signs have chenille figures all over them.
Tea gowns are being generally put on
for home dinners. Some made i'll pompa-
dour brocade, the designs painted, have
soft full fronts of pink or blue silk, Dor
dered with bows of the same tone. The
chief novelty in the make Is the yoke OF
pompadour silk in the shoulders with
double revcrs in front and Vatican plalts
at the back; ribbon girdles are placed fn
many of them. Lace fronts are still worn,
a deep tlounce of lace all around; the
sleeves come To the elbow. Printed Grape
is sometimes utilized for the front and dra-
pcry instead of lace, but this has To belined
with satin. When there are no Vatican
plaits the back fullnesS is gathered in Wis
lille plaits outside the back of the bodice.
The ecru all-over embroidery is also largely
used upon them, and looks especially well
with ceriSc. Caps are once more worn with
tea GOWNS, and for these maabOut aigrettcS
are preferred; they are soft and OF all deli
cate colorings.
For dressing-gowns and breakiast-gowns
some pretty striped blue WOODEN fabrics
have been made up with red collar and
cuffs. Peach-cOlored nuns Yelling makes
pretty GOWNS of this sort, also brown and
pink. They all have silk collars and cuffs,
mostly gathered, and reverse at the hack
of the waist on the skirt, with large knots
of rbh0n wherever they can be introduced
made of the pearl-edScd ribbon. The lace
abots and ruflles on neck and sleeves are
most Important looking.
With regard to artificial flowers in Paris,
nothing would seem to be worn but those
that are in season. and the nearer they APP
proach to the natural the better. The new
bonnets are small and quite different from
ANYTHING yet worn. Over the E'cc they are
extremely high and very narrow, forming
IN arch ahaVp ,hG forehead, and they are
cut un In point nj the hick. Peach Is
the tone most in favor, sometimes inter
mingled with vivid apple-grccn; II bunch

no fuckers are seen. A pretty white silk
skirt had u bodice thus made of crepe,
covered with tufts Of chenille and silver.

a drancry over the shoulders. red bodice
