FRESH FASHION NOTES.

Under-petticoats of silk in light colors,
white and black, are made with gathered
pinked founces.
Three sizes of buttons are used in cos
tumes-large for skirts, medium for
jackets and small for closing bodice
costume.
Black wooden beads, sequins and other
pendants adorn galloons and edging
braids which are used on mourning
dresses.
Wide braids, bands of applique galloon
and other border trimmings are used on
the bottom of the skirt as well as to form
panels on frocks Of cloth wool fabric,
and even plain silk when made up for
demi-toilets.
Slender gold threads are frequently
seen crossing each other at right angles
in the new indefinite plaids of the richer
kinds that are formed of bars of cut and
uncut velvet or plush on ground wool
serge, diagonal, chevron, or herring bone
stripes.
Red remains in favor and is shown in
q variety of shades, terra Gotta, brick,
poppy, ruby, cherry and cardinal being
a few of the darker shades. Rose-pink,
ing tlnts, and strawberry and raspberry
are again seen.
A capote of brown plush is trimmed
with old gold tulIe Russo, which is laid
Ia folds about the brim. Two large bows
of the tulle and an aigrette of gold color
ed feathers are arranged little to the
left of the front. Wide strings of the
tulle complete the trimming.
Redinotes slightly varied in cut are to
continue in vogue. Some of them will
be trimmed with the beaded ornaments
passementerie and will have the plaits
lined with corded silk. They will also
be embroidered and have the backs and
fronts different from each other in many
respects.
black figured cloth mantle has the
designs outlined with Jet. It is of round
ed shape, scarcely longer in front than at
the back. 1t is bordered with two rows
of wide lace beaded with passementerie.
The cape sleeves beginning at the waist
line, and the high collar are trimmed to
correspond.
1t is becoming q custom with some OF
the leading modistes, when executing
large order, to place dainty pincushion
In the box that carries the bonnets to
their destination. When the millinery
is to be worn at a wedding the materials
used in the fabrication of the cushion are
replica of those which enter into the
headgeas of the bridesmaids.
The small balls and carved designs
seen upon combs are now yielding the
palm to those of tortoise shell. This
style of head decoration is inc reasing in
size, as the fashion of dressing the hair
is progressing toward greater height,
while it is not unusual to find four Or five
of these combs arranged on top of one
head. They likewise prove useful lower
down holding the twist of the hair and
supporting the bonnet.

The New Year.

Silent and white
Thro' the dim night
Now fast, now slow,
Marking the posts
Like sheeted ghosts,
Robing the woods
In much finer goods
Than ever were spun by mortal skill
And bleached on the sunny side OF the hill,
Fringes were wove by weavers, where
The warp is mist and the wool is air;
The world is dressed like bride in white,
Although the poor old year died last night.
Drop not tear
On the cold bier
Whose corpse is here.
His work is done,
And battles won,
And he will be
Named with the free
Through future time
For deeds sublime.
We welcome here
The newborn year.
The snow that falls
From the gray walls
Of the black clouds
Is not for shrouds
For the days fed
Or the years dead
TITS the white fleece
Emblem of peace,
Set down to cheer
The soft young year.
So ring the soft,
Sweet bells aIoft,
Of the good time.
Ring loud and clear
For this New Year.
