FRESH FASHION NOTES.

There are nine or ten varieties of
turbans. These have crowns of silk,
or the fabric of the dress may be
used, Or the crown may be made of
straw.
A novelty in Partisan fans is large
letter in tie center of gauze field.
The letter is covered with diamond
dust, and the effect is made still more
brilliant by the ground of the fan be-
ing black.
Small visite mantels will be made
to match the dresses lined with color
ed silks. Travelling cloaks will also
to be made correspond with the suits.
Mantel's aad visites are still more far
ciful than last years.
Silk embroidery on silk tuscore is
much worked by ladies for the fronts
of tea gowns, matching frequently the
o'clock tea cloth. Such a front looks
we'll with skirt of plush velvet or vel
veteen.
Ribbons are imported and used in
the greatest profusion. Exceedingly
pretty and delicate are the muslin
ribbons of transparent ribbed silk, and
the gauze ribbons of last year. To
correspond with some of the new dress
fabrics there are ribbons combining
velvet, gauz9 or Grape, and muslins Ia
stripes, checks or bars. Other velvet
ribbons have gauzs borders. Grena-
dine ribbons are barred and checked
like canvas. The picot edges remain,
with the addition of other complicated
borders and edgings.
Gloves are worn longer than ever,
They extend to above the elbow, and
even as far as under the arm. This
fashion is absolutely necessary, even
if one has a handsome arm. AS long
gloves are very costly, they may be
heightened by a lace rufhe, with mar
row piece Of ribbon darwin through the
upper part to keep them in place. For
undressed kid gloves Irish guipure
lace is preferred as it is very strong.
It is neatly sewed to the edge of the
glove without stretching the kid, and
an open space is left large enough
for the arm and hand to pass through
it.
The new colors are, when light, ex-
tremely delicate, such as the four
''shades of white" creme, blue white,
beurre and MORE. The fashionable
yellow shades of the winter return IN
paille STRAW color, bouton dor (but
ter cup, and Mar (cony COLOR Greens
are bronze, myrtle, cypress, olive, let
tuce and sphinx, the latter a creation
of gray and green. A charming new
pink is Venus, and there are several
new shades of red, Egyptian, poppy,
jacqueminot. Tints of violet and pale
purple, called Mirabella, vie with the
remembered heliothrope and lilac or
pansy purple.
The new bonnets are here. For de-
cided beauty OF color and originality
of design they are unparalleled in
variety OF form, color, and price.
Crowns are square, cap-shape, Fan
chon or Normandy. Brims are ir.
regular, cleft, faring or capote shap-
ed. Other styles have effects The
capote proper has harlng brim, and
a brim also that sits closely 10 the
head. Wien it flares there is very
becoming trimming inside of Elusive
puthngs, transparent gauze ribbon,
and small flowers. Crowns show
great indulgence in the way of hair
dressing, as pyrannidal, medium, anu i
low crows are imported.

and many different parts of many
different animals. The numerous
chambers and many narrow passages
with different shaped, fashioned and
nodded scenery are surprising and as
tonishing. A man can gothrough
what is discovered, and does 90

through part of the discovery, but he
believes that no one person who does

flames to emanate streams of light on

the sights would be dazzling. The
snowy white and wax-colored stalac-
tite and and incrustations that cover
the sides can not be reprod lced in
pictures. The wax-colored and vitreous
stalactite pendants hanging from the
lower extremity reflect flashes of the
light, and when the burning candles
are held still the visitors behold the
appearance of innumerable splendors.
The incaustations on the bottom Of
some OF the chambers include
patches of imitation hoarfrost, which
is so hard and sharp that it makes
prints in the bootsoles; but its glis-
tening in the candle light is like a
