FASHION NOTES.
Hints TO the Ladies ON What to
Wear This Season.


Large, soft silk ties, the color of the
gown, are being worn now that boas are
d scsrded.
Blouse waists of washing silks to com
plete summer gowns must be unlined i
ever they are to be laundered satisfac
torily.
Broad black sashes of heavy ribbon
are very stylish with the pale yellow
deep buff, green, or blue plaided ging
hams.
A novel hat for boy is a thick white
silk Tam O'Shanter, turned back on one
side to allow puckering of soft silk te
appear.
The new cream fancy nets make ur
into beautiful summer hats and bonnets
for children; they are lined with white
or cream silk.
Moliere shoes to wear with tea gowns
are of black velvet with French kid
vamps, Spanish arched insteps, and
large, glittering buckles of silver.
New princess dresses for home wear
have graceful jacket fronts, and the long
lines of the back broken at the waist by
full bows of rosettes of rich, soft ribbon.
Flower festoons in gay pampadour
colors are down the centers of some OF
the very wide ashes, or arranged care
lessly in groups over their creamy sur
faces.
Many skirts are made of grenadine, or
light plain wooden material over silk OF
the same color; also foulsrds with light
or black grounds, with large colored pat
terms.
Plated waists, with girdle matching in
hue, the whole of any of the soft, tender
blue, vieux rose, or cream silks to be
had, are very stylish for wear with skirts
of black net or lace.
The black grenadines that have gaily
colored scrolls or floral devices decorat-
ing their surfaces will be properly intro
duced as panels, underskirts, cuffs, or
vests of black elk costumes.
The Maufrigneuse hat is bell shape.
1t casts pleasant shade over the face,
and it is adapted to the large floating
wells that are now in favor. These wells
are made of embroidered net and gauze,
spotted tulle having gone out of favor.
"Razzle-dazzle" is the name given to
the latest caprice in the way Of a scarf
pin that the gilded youth will wear this
summer. This design is a big, glittering
rhinestone, with golden.spoked wheel
moved by watch-works that will run for
FIVE hours, whirling rapidly around it.
Slippers of undressed kid in shades OF
tan and gray, in gracefully arched shapes
and medium high heels, are stylish and
dressy accomplishments to a demi.dress
toilet; however, they have not super
seeded the bronze or black kid sandals in
popularity.
The broad brimmed, low.crowned hats
worn by children and very young girls
are generally ornamented by single
bow set far back on one side. The long
cover it as much as possible. This trim
ming is deservedly called the "wind-mill
bow"
The acme of elegance is reached in a
tea-gown of Roman red satin figured
with large black flowers, enriched by
wide stripes of black velvet. A full
blouse and underskirt of black chantillv
lace appear at the opening in front, the
vivid red of plain satin cleaning through
the meshes.
The Empire" underlinen is new and
pretty. A full front of lace insertion,
gathered in at the neck, is allowed to
fall in natural folds, and is drawn in
again just above the waist by narrow
pink ribbon run in and out of exquisitely
fine buttonholes. A high bodice with no
sleeves, the armholes being edged with
lace, has square of lace insertion.
1t is the style now to place floral gar
nitures directly on the foundation skirt
of silk, the straight tulle drapery yelling
the flowers and leaves. The effect OF
this method is singularly dainty and
artistic. One beautiful dancing gown
has its bodice of silk and pale green
crepe garlanded with pink roses, over
which is single layer of golden brown
tulle. Another has succession of skirts
in ballet style with queen roses beneath
the outer layer. The color is pale pink,
the bodice being OF velvet darker in tone
and garlanded with snowy roses and
green and bronze foliage.
1t is amusing to notice assemblies of
women anywhere, and see how abso-
lutely the hustle has gone out. 1t died
hard, but had to give up the ghost at
last. Never were seen such straight
lines, such scanty use of draperies, such
uniformity of trimmings. The marked
change has given rise to alarms on the
part of dressmakers, and the hints of the
Louis XIV. and Louis XVI. styles, with
all the pretty fal-fals and coquettish gar
nitures, are the straws which show which
way the wind blows. The present sim
plcity will not be of long duration.
Broche alpacas are quite one of the
popular favorites, and with good reason,
too. They are uncrushable, bright and
silky in appearance, and make up
smartly. In silvery-gray and green
gray they could be worn at almost any
entertainment, as we'll as for quiet day
use. They are mostly trimmed with a
little MORE, or fancy passementeries.
A beautifully soft and effective ma
terial for midsummer costume will be
found in the Austrian cashmere. This
will replace to great extent the long
time favorite-the Henrietta cloth. In
the latter, however, are shown some
handsome novelties that will enter into
costumes that indicate that the first mile
stone of the mourning period has been
passed. Some of these are in twilled
stripes with atmure or diagonal lines at
each side. Others have borders with
arabesques in braiding or silk en-
broidery, all in black. Again there are
broad bands of gros-grain silk woven in
with the shelvage. Slver-gray Henrietta
cloths are very popular for light mourn
ing. and for them the garniture should
be gray silk passamenteries or silver
gimp. The shur wool goods with crepe
finished surface make lovely toilets and
are as favorably received as the lustrous
