Fashion Notes.
English Pelerines or shoulder capes
offur are immensely popular in New
York.
For very little folk, hoods of chin
#chilla, with lining and loops OF shell
pink, are the highest fashion.
The jersey in it's reformed state
grows constantly in popularity. 1t
comes in all shades and divers shapes.
The old-fashioned watered silk is
coming back into style, and is much
richer in effect than the modern MORE.
Mask wells are imported in all fash
ionable colors Of the winter-faWn,
gray, copper red, Gobelin blue, old
rose, and green-made of very thin
net with small dots, and a scalloped
border in wider patterns OF vines and
leaves than any seen. Silk tissue and
grenadine with fine dots of chenille is
imported for thickerveils in narrow
widths of all the cloth colors used for
tailor gowns.
Bonnets are growing much smaller,
and before the winter is over there
will be few Of the high ones left. The
new ones are round and low and the
exact opposites OF those OF last win
ter. They are not nearly so becom-
Ing as the ones they supersede.
Overskirts are nearly straight-by
consequence very full at the top
where they are stoutly pleated at
front and side, and so deeply at the
back that the folds reach the skirt
hem. For looping, one or two DIG
pleats each side take the place of the
multitude Of irregular ones seen and
wrestled with this five Years past.
Soft felt hats are sometimes pinked
OR stamped in festoons at the edge.
When the felt is double the effect is
very good. A brown, broad brimmed
felt hat, lined with garnet felt and fes.
TONED at the edge, is trimmed with
wide brown ribbon, on the one border
of Which is sewn narrow red ribon,
and q bit Of red and dark green pu M
age.
Wells are coming back into fashion
again, as the winter winds begin to play
havoc with bangs, and are worn so as
to cover the entire face and chin.
Many are made OF very fine silk gauze,
OF blue, gray or black. which is crossed
behind and broug hit round under the
chin and tied in big bow. Others
are OF tulle, sometimes dotted with
velvet, and are of all colors.
For a walking dress, and useful in all
weathers, nothing is better than dark
blue smooth-faced lady's CLOTH made
with a plain round skirt, a panel
braided in black on the left side, and
a simple !drapery. The basque IS
braided in black, and is quite round,
without pleats in the back A plain
braided Jacket of the same material
forms The outer wrap.
Shoes coming up on the instep are
in favor with evening dress toilettes,
quite 1ivalling slippers. They are
made OF bronze French kid, patent
leather, and Suede or undressed kid,
in its natural 'ecru shades, in pearl
grey. and also in black. Two kinds OF
kid are seen in many of these shoes,
patent.leather tips being used with
any leather but the bronze kid.
For travelling round hats are prefer
red to bonnets. These new felt sailor
shapes are very much liked because
their brims are turned up sharply in
the back, and admit of leaning back
against the side of the car without
damage to their appearance. For
travelling these are simply trimmed
with big loops OF wide ribbon with a
couple of qullls thrust through them;
but for street wear the cluster Of os-
trich tips are preferred. Nothing can
be more becoming tor either blorde or
brunette than g black sailor trimmed
with black plumes.
