Fashion Notes.

ChapletS of fine flowers are worn by
young girls OH their simple evening
cOiffures.
In England the fashionable tea gown
is of brilliant red, whatever the fabric
may be.
Handkerchiefs are daintier and more
filmy than ever and embroidered with
nuns work.
The classic peplum is worn again and
is particularly well adapted to grace
full figure.
Barbaric jewels are very much the
fashion this season, the more crude the
more effective.
Still one sees the corsage ornament of
ostrich tips in one or two cOlOrS, as the
case may be.
Corals are worn by the buds and
should only be worn by them, for tue
pink is very trying color.
Gold gallOons are particularly effect
i've on evening costumes and are now
being made the most of. NJ
The draping of the soft grapes used
in evening gowns gives an opportunity
for very artistic effects.
The toque composed entirely of vel
vet is very stylish, and for very regular
faces it is most becoming. /
The osprey or agrette is worn with a
high coiffure, and is always ,dreSsy and
effective. as well as simple.
The Directoire bodice is one which is
most becoming, and at the same time
suited to almost any figure.
Real silver hooks and eyes are used
on handsome evening corsages, serving
the double purpose of prnament and
use. y ga -
A Russian mode of making one-half
the c0rSage of visiting costume of fur
is one which does not appeal to an artiS-
tic eye.
Appropriate and very pretty are the
long silk mittens worn by young girls
with their evening gowns. This IS an
English fancy.
The Tam O'Shanter bonnet is both
very pretty and very becoming to youth
full faces, and is made less severely plain
than hitherto.
The long gloves are so apt to slip off
the arm when dancing that q pretty
fashion of tying them up with ribbons
has been adopted.
There is decided growth in the
sleeves of evening gowns, and no longer
is the simple shoulder strap tolerated in
debutanteS' costumes.
The good taste of the Empress of ia
pan in choosing the cOlors of the chrys-
anthemum flowers is worthy of an artis-
tic following.
The zephyr cottons will be very
lovely also during the approaching
season. EXQUISITE rose tints seen in old
meissen china and pale Turquoise blues
are shown in stripes of two delicate
tones of the same color, one but slightly
| paler than the other.
Dancing gowns of tulle have no steels
| in the foundation skirt, but are given
| the requisite bOuffant effect with a
| small hair hustle and row of crinOline
| flOunceS underneath. So many breadths
| of the crisp, gOSSamer tulle are used
| that if the tournure beneath is too large
the effect Is grotesque.
French fiannelS are now. imported in
dotted and Persian figured designs in
place of the old checked and pIaided
| patterns. There are some exquisite
fiannels in tiny stripes of several deli
cate cOlors, the width and pattern of No
l ribbon with a feather edge. These
/ f1annels make pretty dressing or break
| fast sacques. They should be made
| quite short, without trimming, and
| simply ribbon ties to catch the collar
close at the throat.
IHc lUpoItlHS HOUSES are ALREADY
bringing ginghamS for the coming
season. Many of them are woven in
lace stripes, and all over-lace patterns
| The new ginghamS are as soft and fine
as taffe silk, and closely initiate, in the
| fine qualities, some of the silken fabrics
| The old checked and barred patterns are
re served for simple dresses. Fine
| checks in black and white, pure indigo
| blue and white, azure and white, anG
gray and white are always in demand.
For morning wear in very cold
! weather women use in the house velvet
| slippers. bordered around the ankle with
| fur. They are usually of the color tC
match the morning dress or tea-gOwn, as
with blue dresses are worn blue velvet
slippers, bordered with blue fox; with
red ones the slippers are red and the flu
| black.
