FASHION NOTES.

Mignonette and marguerites are the
favorite flowers for window boxes.
Summer underskirts for wet days are
made of gray colored mohair and trimmed
with two plated founces.
A novelty in bracelets is called the
Shakespeare. Each bangle is engraved
with q quotation from the famous poet.
The modern Empire waists not actually
short, but is made to appear so by the
girdle or sash that is always worn with it.
Old fashioned lawns and dotted mus
Inns have been revived by Worth for
gowns to be worn at summer garden par
ties. ::
Guimpes of silk muslin are made to fill
up the V shape opening to waist. A
frill of the double muslin finishes the
neck.
It is noticeable that styles in gloves
have changed, and that colors which
match trimming or dress are greatly in
favor. g:
Combination suits which ladies were
formerly obliged to have made at home
may now be bought in all sizes and
grades.
The predominating shape among new
markets has the back fitting well to the
figure, and loose front. The sleeves have
bell puff.
In spite of the fiat of fashion that tight
coat sleeves are de mode, there is lin
gering admiration for that kind of sleeve
with those women who have round,
plump and pretty arms.
Plisse and accordion plated toilets are
charming popular novelties. The skirts,
bodices and sleeves are all made entirely
of plisses of thin woolen or siLken stuff
over well-ftting lining.
Broad bands of soft leather, in colors
to match the material of the gown, are
worn as hens, cuffs, collars, waistcoats,
and rcvers on walking and driving suits
intended for country wear.
Pulled castings, run with ribbons Of
various widths, divide favor with gaug-
ings, smockings and bouillones for
fashionable summer gowns of null,
baptiste and mousseline de chiffon.
The close French bonnet promises to
hold its own this season, with pointed,
gablcd and arched brims, and the bonnet
entire is still the diminutive head-dress
that it has been for several seasons past.
Hats are low-crowned and broad
brinmed. Sometimes the brim is quite
flat, sometimes it is turned up most fanci-
fully. This depends upon taste and upon
the style of face and beauty of the wearer.
I'll revived bereges of this summer
come with interviewer and printed bor-
ders on plain colored grounds of delicate
intermediate shades, blue, rose, gray,
beige, green, bronze, purple, yellow and
cream.
A new fancy is the use of sulphur yel-
low gauze for cuffs and neck frills to any
colored costumes. If used upon walk
ing gown the hat that goes withit must be
trimmed with the same gauze and q bunch
of flowers matching the costume.

passementerie in deep pointed patterns.
The handsomest ones are in mixture of
brown and gold, with bunch of butter
cups under the brim, and full bows or
narrow brown velvet and gold gauze rib
bon.
Fashionable hair dressers predict q
speedy return to the wearing again OF
false tresses, braids, puffs and fluffy
coils. This, it is said, will be done to
render the coiffure in perfect accord with
the special styles of the Directoire and
Empire.
| Quite the newest thing in bonnet
strings is to have them of narrow ribbon
velvet, fastened just back of the front
coronet, carried thence to the back,
crossed and held there with fancy pin,
then brought under the chin and tied IL
loopy bow beside the left ear. ,r
