sessOnable Notes OF Interest Concerning
WOmen's Dress.

Heavy corded silks and ribbons are vrry
popular.
Fans of amber shell inlaid with ivory are
in great request.
The newest bonnets and hats are less
large and less fat of than late.
Pulled sleeves in Queeu Mary style ap.
pear upon new French tea gowns and din
ner costumes.
Medicis scsrfs of lace have a fine wire to
fasten them about the neck aad 90 not re-
quire to be tied or pinned.
Gothic" vsndyke." Pyramid" OF
Gone" all meaning one thing are the
several names applied TO the new pointed
trimmings.
Pure golden yellow, and dawn" an ex,
quisite golden TINT are highly favored col
Ors in the rich brocadee used for dinner and
reception gowns.
A stylish and becoming use for fur is as
bands upon the sweeping trains and hang
ing sleeves Of dressy gowns of light-cOlOred
and bright brOcades.
A pretty accessory to an evening cloak
is a lace cape, with hood for wearing over
the hair, and long scarfs in front, which
hang TO the foo; OF the cloak.
Scallop-edged rutflss of mousseline de
sole, worn double about the neck, and fall
ing in soft jabot to the waist, are made
separate to wear with various corsages.
What are known as "bust garlands''
have full-blown blossoms upon one or
both shoulders, the lessening leaves and
buds diminishing toward the centre Of the
waist.
Bead embroidery on kid has a different
effect from the same on silk or satin. Buff,
Suede or white kid, wrought with steel
gilt or silver, is an exquisite gaTniture for
light silks.
The Edison mantle" is the newest
thing in the way of wraps in London. II
is named for the American inventor, and it
is said to recall the robe Of some Vene-
tian dame of medieval times
Flowers are likely to be the preferred
garniture for coming festal occasions and
gsrlands for various uses are shown,
graded from buds to ful.-grOwn blossoms,
with the appropriate foliage.
Among the newest wrinkles in queen
chain pendants may be noted an accurate
ly reproduced dinner pail in dull gold,
and an imitation rifle in dull gold with
the barrel OF lesden colored enamel.
Black and white striped silks of every
make are in high favor. In many of them
the white is very conspicuous, stripes of
solid white an inch or inches in width
alternating with small, cbain-like pat
terms.
Some of the dressy Paris wraps are
made OF three fabrics, the backs and
fronts of cloth and velvet, en- applique,
the cape collar of plain velvet, the lining
of srmure silk, and collar and edgings
Of Alaska sable.
Brides still wear long white kid gloves
Both dressed snd undressed kid gloves
are fashionable, but the former are often-
est chosen. Sandals of Suede kid and
white silk stockings are the usual foot
gear.
Fichus of white or co'ored mousseline
de sole give a dressy effect to a simple
gown. They are as long as shoulder capes
IN the back, and fall in a low point in
front, and have vandyke collars of point
de Genes lace.
An effective addition to a plain high
coTsage is a blouse-hke vest of c0lored
mousseline de sole laid in accordion plaits,
with turued-Over frill at the neck, a knife
plated jabot down the front, and folded
girdle below.
The variety of fringe continues to null
tiply, "whiplash," Cascade" ripple, 3"
rain, " shower, " tassel, mohair, feather,
chenille, macrsme, sewing silk, twisted
and UNFINISHED, being the names Of few
of the most popular varieties.
New Oriental laces have mitred edges,
with open ring patterns. They are accord
ion. plated, crimped or futed, and worn
around the neck and sleeves in wide frills.
Very good limitations OF round point laces
are used in the same way.
The sash is confirmed popular feature
of house dresses, of whatever style. There
is no prescribed rule for its arrangement,
but it may be placed wherever most effect
i've, and knotted, loOped or arranged in a
single careless tie at the front, back or
side.
The fashionable bodice is becoming more
ard more loose and easy in effect, if not in
reality. By an artistic arrangement Of
folds and graceful draperies over the chest,
the form has more the appearance of being
draped than of being closely encased.
White is no longer worn exclusively by
the youthful. Cream white is generally
and is worn by all ladies who
consider themselves young enough to FREE
quent society at all. The material, how
ever, should vary sOmewhot in accordance
with the age of the weaIer.
The newest belt buckles of gold or silver
are eight inches long and curved inward to
follow the figure. The material Of the
bodice is drawn down from the shoulders
and side seams to meet in the buckle under
the bust in a most becoming fashio9. This
fashion is especially suitable for soft silken
fabrics, crepe and net.
Beads were never used as garnitures in
such quantity and variety as now. White
pearl" beads come with both polished
and opaque surfaces, aud are very effective
when intermixed. There are also many
beads which are namesakes of the precious
stones they initiate, emerald, sapphire,
garnet, ruby and top'z, amber, steel, ell
yer, gilt, jet, bronze and clear glasg, be-
sides tinted pearl beads of various delicate
huss
Blankete that come expressly for wrap
pers are very light and manageable, but
give double the warmth of flannel. The
borders are more faDciful than formerly,
and are long enough to run around the
bottom Of the garment, the loose sleeves
and broad collar, and make two big square
pockets. The large buttons should be Gov
cred to match the border. and heavy silk
cord and tsssels should be tied loosely
around the waist.
