Fashion Notes.

There is wide diversity in the styles
of bracelets.
Ornaments for the hair are, if possible,
more fashionable than ever.
Chantilly lace over black surah is pre-
ferred for lace toilets, owing to its light
weight.
Pale willow green, yellow, black,
cream and olive are the favored colors
for sashes.
Black silk is combined with colored
silk yelled with black lace in many of
the new costumes.
Shot silk is extensively used by
miliners for soft crowns or loops COM
bined with velvet.
Shirt waists of fine India lawn are laid
in three broad plaits, and embroidered
in French needlework.
The Garabaldi blouse gracefully modi-
fed, is extensively worn IN place OF the
cashmere breakfast jacket.
Brown linen, trimmed with crimson or
dark blue braid. is the favored material
for morning and work aprons.
A fancy silk handkerchief wound
about the head is the newest head cover
ing to wear with tennis costumes.
Simple dresses of cambric and lawn,
with round waists and entirely without
, drapery, are feature of the present
, season.

and oftentimes the silk skirt is OF the
same plaid.
Ladies who like variety in their tennis
costumes often have several blouses OF
different colors which may be worn with
the same skirt
Two-toned sash ribbons are shown.
These are particularly favored for veal
with black lace dresses which are made
up over shot silks.
Scarlet surah bodices, which appear
loose, yet are arranged upon a close-ft.
+; ting lining, are worn in the morning
with various skirts.
Evening toilets this season are con-
spicuous for their diversity, ranging
from the extremely simple and inexpen-
sive to the magnificent.
A front drapery of strong cotton net
T; ting is petty addition to tennis cos
tune, and it may also be utilized as q
pocket to hold the balls.
Belt buckles, as well as silver belts,
. continue in fashion; indeed, with the
style of round bodices promised by
modistes, it looks as if belts must be
worn on indefinitely.
Gowns of white pongee have the blouse
and full sleeves deeply honeycombed,
and honcycombed panel at the side as
we'll, or else they are trimmed with
many lengthwise rows of lace insertion.
Big hemstitched hsndkerchiefs of
pongce can be had in nearly all the sum-
mer colors, and are among the most use
full of small wraps, as they can be either
shawl, collar or tchu as the wearer has a
mind.
Word comes from Paris that white and
cream gowns are less seen than last sea-
son: on the other hand hardly colored
gown but has white accessories, either
vest, collar, cuffs, panel, petticoat or
front skirt.
Leather or leather -colored silk is now
much used for the trimming of walk
ing toilets, which are finished with hats
topped with leather-c covered plumes, and
bow of leather ribbon tied jauntily on
the parasol.
White skirts are reserved for evening
wear, and are trimmed with lace, inser-
ton and embroidery quite at discretion,
though it is we'll to remember that fine
simplicity is far and away better style
than coarse ornament.
To wear or not to wear white at throat
and wrists is now a willing if not burn
ing question, and though there is some
thing more of latitude than in seasons
past the weight of authority inclines to
the retention of lingerie.
The fashion of thrusting flower here
and there among the curls and pufts OF
evening coiffure has brought out BIOS
SONS of finest china for those who can
not afford Jewels, that are said to be the
perfectest possible approaches to nature.
