FASHION NOTES.
CURB bracelets are again popular.

The fancy Dr bangle bracelets has de-
veloped into craze.
CREOLE hoops Of silver or gold, plain
or set with jewels, are favorite earrings
just now.
FRENCH milliners call all large round
hats capelines. White ones are in high
favor in Paris.
AN expensive fad with many ladies
Just now is purses of woven gold, with
silver mountlngs.
A FAvoRITE brooch this summer is
tiny gold canoe, with oars and anchor
trailing over the side.
A NEW design in silver belt buckles
represents a tennis set, between two
parallel bars crossed by two bats.
DAINTY summer costumes consist of
redingotes of fine French challie,
worn over plain skirts of white watered
silk.
A FAvoRITE brooch is in star shape,
and formed of pear-shaped opals, with
emerald points and large raised emer-
aid III the center.
The newest French poplins and mo-
hairs are 30 perfect in finish as scarcely
to be distinguished from the soft ribbed
Bengalines and other corded silks of
similar nature.
AMONG the daintiest of sailor hats are
those Of cream white crepe, shlrred on
gold wires, with loops of soft crepe in
front, intermingled with lilies of the
valley and gold lace.

full-dress uses the very low-cut Dieppe
sandal of black satin, tipped with jet
embroidery, or of dark tan Swedish
kid, are styles which are in great favor
abroad.
EVEN on tailor-made suits the ex-
tremely high collar has given place to
one of moderate height, and on many
summer costumes the collar is mere
band, and in others is dispensed with
altogether.
WHAT is known as the sun-star is
novelty in the iewelry line. 1t is
large star, with finely tapering rays, all
brilliants, and is worn at the throat or
fastened into the lace draperies of an
evening corsage.
AN effective hairpin for evening wear
is of mother-of-pearl, on which is
mounted diamond star, in which is
concealed a tiny bit of mechanism
which causes it to revolve, giving the
appearance of flying sparks.
LARGE black hats IN Spanish fashion
have long scarfs, which fall from the
back, and are wide enough to envelop
the throat and sometimes the shout
ders. The usual garnitures are scarlet
lobelia blooms, salvias or red briar
roses.
Corn color and black is a favorite color
combination in evening costumes.
Shades of corn color may be obtained
from very light to deep, almost orange
white laces they are worn by both dark
and fair women.
A NOVELTY of the present season is
the purse bracelet, which is similar to
the watch bracelet, having a small
pocket in place of the timepIece. This
is very convenient for carfare, etc., but
one would hardly dare to intrust much
money to its keeping.
GAY seaside costumes are made of
poppy-red yelling, with borders fblack
stripes, which are at both top and bot
tom of the skirt, panels of black armure
silk being placed down both sides of the
skirt, and large shawl collar of the
silk trims the bodice.
THE plated shirt waist is very popular
just now, and is decidedly chic upon
slender, youthful figures. The Or ettiest
are of white China silk, laid in broad
plaits, fastened with small gold studs,
and having a turned-down collar and
sailor tie. White linen, striped percale,
serge, foulard, chambery and flannel
are all utilized for these waists.
A FAvoRITE trimming for straw or rush
hats tor country wear is scarf of white
dotted silk net, simply hemmed and
twisted about the crown. caught here
and there with tiny fancy pins, and
with one or two long ends at the back,
which are carried around the throat,
serving as a protection to the throat
against wind and sun, as we'll as being
graceful and becoming.
The dressiest toques are but two or
three inches in height. A pretty model
had three twists of crepe, gray, yellow
and white, forming the long, low sides
Of the crown, which was open at the
top, and crossed with inch-wide gray
ribbon. forming strings to start from
the back of the crown. Three soft clus-
tiers of the crepe, gray, yellow and
white, were set directly in front.
DAINTY gowns for afternoon recep-
tions are made of white mousseline de
sole, Hneu LnfOugnOut with PINK or Nile
green silk. The round waist or basque
is shirred, with Oriental lace let in the
full front, striped with MORE ribbon the
color of the lining. The waist may be
edged with loops Of ribbon. or it may
have soft sash. The full sleeves are
shirred and pulled over fitted sleeves of
the lining silk. The gauze skirt has
insertions and edgings of lace, and is
caught up once at each side, to show
shirred double ruffie on the lower skirt.
