PASSING NOTES OF THE STYLES,

FINE MILAN BRAID is used for spring bonnets.
LOOSE GLOVES are now worn by women as well
as men,
DAISY BUTTONS exactly Stimulating the small
Ehslsh natural flowers are seen upon many i'm
ported gowns.
GREEN IN ALL SHADES, from apple to olive is a
fayorlte hue for the trimming OF black straw or
Neapolitan hats.
The LATEST LONDON FAD is to wear about the
neck lace scarf so long that the ends barely miss
being trodden on when the wearer walks.
FINE NAiNsOoK Is chosen for summer underwear
and valenciennes lace IS its favOrite trimming II
you can AFFORD TO pay 800 per yard.
GILT KEYS, attached TO gaily colored ribbons
are worn by fair damsels, In the same manner as
were the tiny Sachet bags, short time ago.
BUTTERFLY WING" Is the very latest point for
skirt draping, and the insect is further Initiated
by wearing them in fours-twO at front and two
back.
WHITE BLoND-LAcR made over white moire
antique and little braid on the corsage is the
choice for white summer dinner gowns, which are
made short for summer.
EVERY POSSIBLE DEVICE is resorted to In order
to avoid the necessity Of any apparent fasten-
Ing, such as buttons or hooks, and to give the
wearer's costume the appearance OF having grown
on her like the corolla OF lily.
DREssMAKERs who are not beyond considerations
OF expense are trying the effect OF spencer frills
below the belt in place Of the basque, which will
In some measure lessen the need for that costly
accessory the sash.
CLUSTERED Rows OF RIBBON, or ribbon-like
braid, are seen above the hens Of many new
gowns, while clustered tucks with ribbon be-
tween, fairly run not In the DOdices of the sum-
mer.
IT Is GKAvELY announced that the English
fashion OF wearing a small fur cape with black
lace gowns will be more than tolerated this sum-
mer; and further, that u black hat and wrap will
De held TO Ego with" any gown you please.
WHAT SEEMS TO BE an Overgrown nat gold
locket with sapphire bee upon one side upon
opening turns out 10 be a portable MIRROR which
may thus bangle at beauty's chatelaine and help
10 repair the damages OF heat and dust.
FROM PARIS comes a determined effort to DO
away with high neckwear, in favor of collars and
collarettes that leave the whole throat bare; but
while the Scraggy and scrawny retain a Pigment
OF good taste they Will NIL In the open space with
tulle gauZe, lace or muslin.
The NEWEST DEcoLLErR CORsAGEs from Paris
are apt TO make one stare at iirst sight, being
nothing more than mere corselets with pair OF
straps. But IN reality they are not as bad as they
look, for with them comes mass OF tulle or silk
gauZe which renders them perfectly modest and
proper This gauZe Is drape1 over the shoulders
like Marie Antoinnette ichu, and then the little
apology for bodice Is put on, the drapery taking
the place OF the upper part OF the corsage and the
deep waistband and straps hold 1t In place.
