FASHION NOTES.

The small bonnet will survive as q
chapeau de theatre and reception cap after
it is dead for street wear.
Even Carrick caDes are made of tartan,
lined with matching or contrasting silk,
and trimmed with a deep turned-down
collar of Astrakhan or other fur.
Apricot, lovely yellowish shade of pink,
is in high favor for evening silks, tulles,
mousselines de chiffon, mousselines de sole,
fish nets, and other evening fabrics.

Of dark shades Of green, brown. and gray,
combined with rare skill, and fine streaks of
vivid yellow, red, white and black.

lets, and gray and beige tints.

made of two kinds Of tartan, aud then COM
bined with velvet or plush for the collar
and cape, the sleeves or cuffs, and pockets

The most original holiday novelty is
sunfower and mirror. The frame of the
mirror is dried calyx of the real sunfiower,
the stem gilded and decorated with a bow
Of ribbon, forming the handle. The petals
are Of yellow tissue paper.

| or the other, either Is the correct term-are

| trimming tartan gowns with collars, cuffs,
waistcoats, revers, and whole sleeves of

women.
