Fashion Notes.

Plush is the favorite material for man
ties, visites and pelerines. ..
All bodices open over guimpes or plas-
irons, but the Fedora fronts are passe.
There is a return of favor to dressed
kid gloves, but undressed kids are also
worn.
Cheviot with fine checks is the correct
material for the brides travelling cos
tune.
Some of the new capote brims are cleft,
and have one side strapped back with
ribbons.
A collar, tie and wide cuffs of colored
India silk are the stylish wear with cloth
costumes.
Polka dots are seen in some of the
stylish wooden stuffs and promise 70 be
popular again.
Shawl dresses are sent out by French
tailors, but they are not pretty, nor will
they be popular.
Little girls are given coats, outside
garments of check or plaid to be worn
over plain stuff frocks.
BodiceS and sleeves are IN endless va
riety; but, in spite of this, jackets are
more popular than ever.
Felt and cloth or wool bonnets are
chosen of the color of the woolen suit
with which they are worn. ~
Golden rod yellow is dense but beau
tiful shade which promises to be worn
this season very generally.
Beaded tabliers and pattern robes with
BRAIDED embroidery in different colors
are shown as q new and favorite style.
Breton jackets are seen on some of the
most stylish everyday costumes in cloth
for young ladies and children as well.
Green is essentially a summer color
and little if any will be worn the winter
season, except, perhaps, myrtle green.
Recamier curls are still the favorite
dressing of the front hair, the straight
bang being too severe for many faces.
The fashion of great extravaganza in
floral decoration has gone by, except for
weddings and such elaborate occasions.
Colored Innings are in high vogue
striped and figured silks in bright colors
being largely employed for this purpose.
Parisians are wearing tartain plaids foI
the entire dress or in combination with
plain colors. The plaids, however, are
small. p,
A pretty round waist is made dressJ
by bands of velvet extending from the
neck to the bust about two or three inchei
apart.
A long gauntlet cuff is worn with
puffed sleeves reaching half way up the
arm. An epaulet at the shoulder carrie:
out the effect.
Princesse effects are noted in some oi
the bridal toilets, but these are confined
to the front or back, as the taste OF the
wearer may dictate.
Wide, low collars, exposing the throat,
are to be worn, and it is predicted in
certain quarters that high collars and full
ruches are soon to be abandoned.
Wide braids, bands of applique gal.
loon, and other border trimmings are
used on the bottom of the skirt as well
as to form panels on frocks of cloth,
wool fabric, sicilienne, and even plain
silk when made up for demi-toilets.
Titan and giant braids of from three
and three-fourth inches to five inches in
width form the side panels of many
CLOTH serge, diagonal, cheviot. and foule
frocks, the other garnitures of the dress
being of narrower braids of the same
weave.
Ornaments for the hair are fashionable,
but must be judiciously arranged to be
effective. Fancy shell pins, knots and
aierettes of ribbon and some fancy
metal pins are used. A style called the
Mikado is dressed high with loops and
puffs, and number of small jet or shell
combs are set in at various angles.
Ia new mantles we have been shown
Jackets of frizzly cloth, made tailor
fashion, in dark shades of color; travel
ing-cloaks OF woolen sanglier, long
enough to completely cover the skirt.
and mantelcttes of basket-work silk, or
silk rep, prettily trimmed with galloon
and fancy fringe; these mantles are quite
short at the back, not coming down be-
low the waist, and fall in square lappets
in front.
