Fashion Notes.

bOtQ QaLS auQ UOuueIS grow ldlSei.
Immcnse sashes are worn more and
more.
Green, greener, greenest are the tints
Of the future.
New parasols are larger and longer
than those of last year.
Straw is the wear par excellence for
fash enable bonnets.
Cnhemmed draperies are coming into
general use upon silk dresses.
The white cloth petticoat is one OF the
novel styles which seems destined to be
most popular.
Tips are worn triAe longer, and even
half felthers circle the deep brims of
some new hats.
Many fashionable bonnets for summer
are made simple of tulle or lace without
other trimming.
Striped ribbons from hair lines to half
inch widths of white and color are very
new and very ugly.
Velvet flowers on summer hats and
bonnets seem rather an unnatural COM
bination, yet they are stylish.
Peal blues worn this season, and some
with q changeable effect, have cross
thread of cream color or white.
The fashion for trimming hats from
behind still continues and if not very
artistic or becoming, it is the mode.
The hat or bonnet that escapes q green
bow, upholding a spray of flowers, will
be something in tie nature of rarity.
Blood orange and primrose are the
names of two very fashionable new shades
in kid gloves, both dressed and undressed.
Black lace dresses are now made up
over slips of shot silk, either moss green
with rose, pink with gray, or red with
blue.
Spangled lace and colcred grapes
starred or figured in tinsel arc very much
used in making summer millinery at
tractive.
Close wreaths of roses, without leaves,
either quite upon the edge, or halfway
the brim, will be immensely stylish upon
lace bonnets.
Peasant waists are still seen in the
cotton or woolen costumes for growing
girls, and add pretty trimming to q
simple costume.
English waists have simply a point
front and back stitfiy whale boned, and
as may be supposed are only becoming
to slender figures.
French lace appears in large quantities
on the new mantles, and an effort is be-
ing made to introduce the art laces, par
ticularly old guipure.
Chuddahs and other new woolens have
wide fancy selvages which are intended
to be q conspicuous feature of the cos
tune when made up.
A favorite bodice is round wasted, and
is arrang ged with loops of ribbon which
taper to point on one side, and with a
scarf fichu on the other.
Mahogany browns arc among the most
stylish tints for costumes and take as a
trimming black or metal braids as being
the most harmonious colors.
Striped wool jerseys having sailor
blouse fronts, fitted backs and deep sailor
collars are favorite corsages for finishing
up skirts which are partly worn.
Bright rel is not seen in the same pro-
fusion as last season as hat or bonnet
trimming, and bids fair to pass out OF
vogue in due time, having run its race,
The fancy checked summer silks are
'prctt.l ly used us petticoats under plain
Silk or wooicn stuffs for summer wear
this season, and make very pretty effects.
Ribbons are likely to be used in great
profusion upon the summer mantles, and
are arranged in rows of loops, in pointed
tabs forming fringe, and in roscttes and
bows.
The half open sleeve is favorite
mode for outer garments, and is particu-
larly graceful on the loose fronted
Jackets, which are very stylish this
season.
Zig7ag stripes and clusters of light
lines, forming wide stripes, which alter
nate with plain twiled stripes, are
shown in copper colo, china and Gobe
lin blue, golden brown, Suede and
bronze.
White and copper promises to become
even more the rage than white and gold,
many gowns of copper Bengaline hav-
ing full vests of white silk, MULE China
Grape or India silk, and further enrich
ment of copper beads.
