Fashion Notes.

B0utOnNcuA is the new term LOT DJu-
rette goods.
Even pongees come in bourettc and
corded stripes.
Tie alloyer embroidered laces are
most beautiful.
Amber.bcads are in high favor for
bonnet-trimuing.
A novelty in trimming is white lama
fur. which Is lovely for opcra-cloaks.
japanese tea-urns and watcr-kettles
iu bronze and brass are used instead Of
s. yer on stylish tables.
The new wool laces are aypirants for
bic favor, and are offered in the most
I. ,teful designs in all choice patterns.
Any original device is in order for
srlashers. One Of the prettlest Is an
arrangement of the large-sized paim-leaf
fans.
Lamp-shades are the objects Of a
m0mentary craze, and IN every sort Of
establishment must one indulge who
wishes to he in style.
Large real lace collars, such as were
worn a few years ago, are again coming
into fashion for theatre and simple visit
ing toilets.
Princess dresses for little girls, ending
in forty-inch tlounces of embroidery,
will be the most popular style for the
summer season.
The new bonnets show an abridge-
ment of the academical hat in the square
crowns, and they are capable Of much
variety in trimming.
Long snow-white gloves of undressed
Kid are preferred for brides, while
bridesmaids wear gloves in primrose.
lilac, cream-white, pearl, OF golden-tan
color.
Beautiful kioto fans Of uncut velvet
have exquisite japanese workmanship,
and are used with evening toilets and
where the TorOO fan was used last sea-
son.
Cashmere gloves have extra jersey
wrists, which cling closely to the arm
and fit perfectly. These come in all
the dark shades, and grow more popn-
lar each year.
1t is rather early to predict as to
colors for the spring although indica-
tons point to red as the most popular,
not only for bonnets and jackets, but
whole suits.
One of the most exquisite and dainty
looking muiis is Of badger skin. Badger
is not a very attractive-loOking fur
when it is laid fiat, as much Of its
beauty is lost, but when rolled into a
mutf it is really very effective.
Peoples and tulips are to be the pop
ular led flowers, more so than the
iacqueminots, which are little shown,
and when they do appear are almost
entirely shrouded by moses, with
which they show to good advantage.
Crepe lisse trimming lace will be ia
yored, and some of the designs are eff
fectiye. One piece noticed in amber
color was embroidered in white in
Egyptian pattern that was really
lovely.
1t is very probable, after the active
warfare which is being waged against
the present barbarOuS fashion of bird
trimming, that the feathered tribe will
have full and free possession Of the
country when it pleases them to return
TO US.
A novelty, and useful one for the
writiDg-desk, is little brass frying
pan in which to cook ones sealing-waX.
This method avoids smoking the wax
and scattering ones desk. The wax is
cut in small cubes to serve this pur-
pose.
New styles of jackets are already
shown for spring wear. There is lit
tie doubt but that the spring will come
in time, but it must be rather slow
business to show or sell such goods in
the face of such weather as we are
favored with at present.
Rose, pale.green, and brilliant butter
cup-yellow dispute the general popu-
larity of white dancing costumes, but
there have been seen numbers Of ele-
CANT white toilets trimmed with silver.
Stalk-like and long-stemmed flowers
are to supersede the knots and punches
of former seasons, and the stems are to
be quite as much the feature as the
blossoms, otherwise the yisle!s would
