FASHION NOTES.

10 lind some appropriate and novel
gift for man is question of great mo-
ment to wives and sisters. After all
there are so few things man truly
needs. and to go on multiplying his
smoking apparatus and adding to an al
ready large supply of mouchoir cases
will make both the giving and receiving
stupid ana without the pleasure of sur
prise. Turn then to jewelry and spend
several dollars i'll bestOwing Oh the socie-
~ brother or friend one of the charming
new fob ribbons. For full dress these
are of heavy gros grain white silk,
nearly an inch wide and about four and
a quarter long. One end is provided
with catch OF gold and the other with
slip hook. Midway is a buckle of
gold bearing designs in enamel or cut
work. For the hook at the end come
all manner of seals, loekets, ETC.. and
now it's the fashion TO attach a heavy
seal ring bearing the owners initials or
the head of his fayorite poet.
Pearls finding their way again to pop
ular favor, now clasp throat and arms
in close straight bands. Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt wears her lovely pink and
white pearls constantly. Some five or

long to the same set as the pearl
pins and combs she wears in her smooth,
dark hair. Mrs. George De Forest.
who rarely cares to break the perfect
line Of milky shoulders and throat by
any jewels, will sometimes slip round
her neck one row of absolutely perfect
pearls clasped at the back by large
diamond. But slender rods of gold,
bearing all manner of queer and pretty
little tricks wrought of gold and small
pearls, are used for holding laces and
ribbons in place.
A calling gown just finished for one

antes was of gray silky cashmere and
white silk. The cashmere. although
gray at first sight, showed soft tone
Of heliotrope woven through it. 1t was
made directoire, of course, the side
panels oTnamented in heliotrope braided
pattern opened over an under petticoat
of white silk slightly draped. The
vest was also of silk in bias pieces that
crossed back and forth over each other
and finished by silk sash. The sleeves
fitted the arms smoothly from shoulders
to elbows, here they grew full and cut
up halfway TO the wrist showed white

with this suit was one of the new black

usual bow large cluster of heliotrope
flowers was pinned with their long
green stems at one side low on the
crown and then drawn about to reach
well over the front. Heliotrope gloves
and fine muslin kerchief embroidered
in tiny flowers gave the final effective
touches to the costume. which was to
be laid away in linen with heliOtrope
sachetS until the forty DAYS of fasting

say one yard of China silk: this is
again shirred a bit at the waist, and
sometimes falls straight or is drawn I'D
on one hip to hang in sash ends.
When made of rose-colored blue
surah or white muslin it forms
a crisp bit of color on dark
house dress. For young girls plated
collars of embroidered and hemstitched
linen, with turnbaek cuffs, give fresh,
sweet appearance to school dresses.
The Garibaldi waists Of surah, shocked
or plated. can be made much cheaper
than they can be bought, for s. or IS is
a wide profit on the four yards of silk
required in making. Shocked jersey
Garibaldls drawn in at the waist by
silk belt and silver buckle are not so
pretty, but much more durable than
those of surah.
