NOTES.
Lustrcus silks are more stylish than
those Of dull finish this season in colored
fabrics.
The low bodices are laced at the back
and draped so that additional fullness is
given to the bust and the waist is seen at
its smallest.
Fichus are smaller than they were In
the winter and are chiefly of the jsbot
shape when not recalling the Langtry or
Toby frill Of some seasons back.
Wistaria is the name OF new shade
which is between crushed strawberry and
violet. Rosy lilac would better describe
it.
Lice js5ots are again favored as trim
ming for dressy basques and are especial
lq elective with single revers OF velvet.
A new handkerchief OF the shaerest
French cambria, all overrun with -ose-
buds in outline machine embroidery, is
among the seasons most glittering sue
cesses.
Brorze greens, combined With delicate
pinks and blues, are very stylish this sea-
son. The corHsge Is almost always OF the
darker shade, while the skirt Is OF light
tints.
Diagonal folds from left to right are
much liked for vests OF the gown stun.
but where while wool or pique Ia used
they must be straight, like the plests o. :
shirt front.
Bodices are built rather than made.
First the lining of silk or fine jean Is
accurately fitted, snd then the outside
put on pretty much according to con-
venlence, taste, vain or initiative

deep yellow satin braid bonnets, trimmed
with black MORE ribbon and primrose
clusters, mounted as aigrettes.

twiIled surface, is again in the market.

tunes for spring wear. Particularly in
black Is this 3 most desirable and very
handsome wooden fabric, as it wears like
iron.
Cotton skirts are hemmed and tucked,
or trimmed with Est, open WORK above
the hem. Upon soft silks ribbon IL often
laid as border or side trimming, and
lighter tissues are striped with rio ions
matching, or in delicate, contrasting
color.
Gowns of sateen aud French percale,
both of which come with lovely printed
borders, have either plain full skirts with
the gathers msssed behind and edged at
foot with the border, or else the old.time
Spanish founce sewed on just above the
knee, and headed with narrow standing
ruffie.
The picot edge has given place to straight
edges, either satin or cannale, like the
rim Of two-shillicg piece. Satin with
silh reverse IS shs most expensive ard the
newest, but the msjoritv are striped with
MORE satin or ombre effects. IN
