NOTES.
The lstest fad in coifflres is the
Psyche.
japanese snd Chinese ideas in dress are
Introduced in French fashions tor spring
Very Few gowns are made V shaped
at the back Of the neck, and U shaped in
front.
Scarab watch chains, scarab rings ard
scarab pins are the latest.
Bonnet ribbons are less than two inches
in width, while for hats six is stylish.
Various tones of red, together with
dsrk blue, brown, terra-cotts and green,
are the Leading coloTs for girls costumes.
For young lady pink tulle frock
trimmed with Mechlin lace ruching is
most picturesque, gracefully Topped up
with tufts of roses.
There Is an effort to populariEe colored
underwear by using printed petcsles and
sEteens for skirts, chemises, drawers and
A novelty in fine white and tinted silk
for underwear, as well as for dresses,
matinees and yea gowns, is new
Japanese silk, inVoiced Habutai.
Borders of lace, passementerie or en-
brodeIy laid perfectly fat, with the
edge upward, ere seen on the
three front breaths OF many handsome
gowns.

with very wide brih upturned at back
against the low crown, has been named

latest success.

and other fancy necklaces ere still very
worn with evening toilets cut
out equGre or rounding in the neck.

that net DIS the foreign aid Of ornament, is |
q soft puff, OF the gown stuff, reaching |
quite to the elbow, with frill below Of
lace or llsse, deep st the outer edge and
next 10 nothing on The inner.
A pretty fad for giving new effect to /
bail gown that has been worn st one or |
more dances is the use of ribbon bretelles
with q knot Of loops before, behind and |
on each shoulder. The ribbon must match |
the color Of the gown.
The Psyche couture is made, by forming !
all the back hair into tight pointed knot
in the middle Of the back OF the head, the
front hgir being arranged IN waves bangs |
or any other becoming style that is not in |
violation of the current fashion.
Bridal toilets with cerssges slightly |
pointed front and back, made. of white |
velvet or satin striped with velvet and |
combined with heavy corded silk, are the
latest expression of elegance. The skirt /
is demi-trsined ana wholly untrimmed.
