oRNAMENTAL SWEETNESS AND LIGHT.
The gayety predicte for the coming
season seems to be prehgured in the novel
and expensive ornaments which are pro-
fusely displayed and which will doubtless
be purchased. 1t Is rather curious that
men who are otherwise very restricted in
their ideas OF what constitutes suitable
expenditure by women for dress, will
cheerfully buy diamonds. The present
fashion IN these stones addresses itself
especially to this class of buyers. The
new ornaments use up vast number of
small stones. They are held like light it.

for all that is asked for them. They form
birds, stars, butterflies, beetles, Tugs,
flies and the like; and may be used for the
hair, for the corsage, or to halt hide in the

ornaments as these can be bought for the
| price of one pair of solitaire earrings;
and little fly and butterfly pins can be
laid aside for the daughter when the

This Is an inducement with most fathers.

The artistic novelties OF the season are

AIRY TRIPLES.
1t is a little curious that as vet our
leaders of fashion have not taken up a
late English caprice, that OF boas made of
cascades Of black or white lace inste ad of
fur. The veil wound round and round the
throat, the folds Of tulle applied to the
same purpose, and the long scarfs OF
cream and black Spanish lace achieved
so large a measure OF popularity that it
might have been supposed the lace boa
idea would be seized with equal avidity,
especially by those who object TO fur as
protect ton to the throat The graceful,
little article has, at last, however, found
its way 10 Paris, and from this point we
may expect to see it transferred to this
country.

The velvet braces of last season will be as
well worn this year, and that black velvet
upon gray and gray-blue or forest green
with bOwS on the top OF the arm and full
plated sleeves with deep velvet cuffs, are
quite in order; the braces, it may be re-
marked, outlining the upright plated
front OF the bodice.
Handkerchets have taken quite q new
departure. The new ones show narrow,
hem-stItched borders, with tiny dots and
figures occupying the centre. They are
not, however, 80 convenient, so pretty or
so practical as the daintily-bordered ones
and cannot be used so effectively. The
tiny silk ones. which give a touch OF
bright color to the dark corsage OF jacket,
are still in demand, and will certainly not
give way to the effort to revive The dead
Wilderness of embroidered linen, which
does not lend itself TO the soft, general
tone of modern dress.
