FRESH FASHION NOTES.

Hints ana Suggestions Concerning For.
cign and Domestic Novelties.
Braid is the most fashionable of all
trimmings.
Braid or embroidery, or both, trims
most fashionable gowns.
Both wide and narrow braids are
used in trimming dresses, wraps and
bonnets.
The stylish mode of making a silk
gown is to have it of two shades of the
same color
The long pelisse, the Connemara
cloak and the bonne femme mantle are
the leading long wraps.
The barred and plaided mohairs in
light and bright coors are in high
favor for little girls frocks
The Gordon sash in place of the
waistcoat is growing in favor with
gentlemen who know how to dress in
summer.
The latest fancy in neck lingerie is
the deep falling pelisse and the narrow
upright ruche of sulphur-yellow gauze.
The new mohairs come in all shades
OF color in 'shot" effects and in bars,
plaids and checks of great beauty and
effectiveness.
Jackets are never out OF fashion.
This season they have deep revers and
sleeve full above the elbow, but they
are not worn with dressy toilets.
The long, straight scarf mantle, worn
around the shoulders and falling to the
hem of the dress in from is revived
among other wraps in London.
Pretty spencers, blouses and Carl
baldis in surah silk, yelling, China silk
and tatfeta are sold in all the shops, to
be worn with any kind of skirt
The cheapest, pretty and durable
silk gowns are made of American
woven foulards, which come in plain
self colors, in printed figures and in
bars and plaids.
The best dust cloaks that we have
had for years are those of the light new
iustrous mohair fabrics that have been
brought out this spring in superior
finish and light as feather.
The variety in braids is seemi Ugly
endless. There are wide Mooris h
braids from four to eight inches wide,
Florentine braids, initiating a rolling
ribbon in its designs, and the Constable
embroidered braid cut out in points
like lace.
Among soft artistic corsage draperies
cent home by fashionable dressmal1ers
with gowns that are made with un-
trimmed bodices are the Marie An
toinette fchu, the Sir Joshua Rey-
nolds and Martha Washington ker-
chiefs and the Queen Mary berthas.
In honor of the centennial year the
Martha Washington kerchief folded
lightly and crossed over the chest is
worn with afternoon toilets. These
kerchiefs are made of deep squares of
white, cream and tinted silk null
richly bordered with Puritan frills of
silk lace.
White skirts are undraped. Fashion
BILE dressmakers manage to make them
elaborate and decorative by alternate
arrangements of plaits and gathers,
shirrings and smocl1ings, from the
waist line and panels and slashes, with
revers and borders, complete the elab-
Grafton.
Women who are sure that their
throats and necks are pretty and white,
full and well rounded, wear the wide,
falling collar, like the Little Lord
Fauntleroys, now so popular with girls
as well as with boys, or the deep fall
ing pelisse of null or nainsook or lace
net, white, cream, or tinted blue, yell
low or pink.
Short-sleeved, very short cape-like
mantles, with long lapels in front, the
sleeves sometimes entirely of lace and
bead fringes, are shown in variety OF
forms and made of velvet gauzes, cash
mere, bengaline. brocaded silks and
finished with tassels and aots of ribbon,
passementeries, motifs, laces, and
raise fringes.-N. Y. Sun.
