EaEbiOn Notes.


All sorts of fancy combs are seen
among curls and coils. Emeralds are a
popular choice for studding these combs,
and diam 1nds make brilliant hair-pins
that are not utilized for shoe e-buttoners.
An important adjunct to the toilet
just now is the petticoat, which grows
more and more elegant every year.
Fashionable jupons of silk should CORE
spond in color with the dress, and the
latter should have bayaleuse facing.
Walking shoes are of dull leather,
with various bright leather ornamental
tions, and are buttoned or laced in 'front.'
For promenade shoes la naOtiere, which
take the fancy of Miss Elegante, patent
leather, dark kid, and for the country
light yellow are preferred.
Seldom has a color 80 quickly and un-
questionsbly gained favor as green has
done this year. 1t may boast of pre-
eminence not only in every shade and
variation in the ballroom, but also in the
street, where it seems to have banished
most other colors. And strange to say
green allows many favorable combina-
tions with dun, pink, and black.
Tennis and yachting costumes were
modes in which they are made up are
particularly attractive and jaunty. Hair.
line stripes. vide stripes, paids, and
checks are found in all the latest shades,
CONT bined with white. Skirts are usually
of the broken colors, while the jacket is
of fine jersey cloth, made in fanciful
manner after the prevailing modes.
Green has reached the highest point
when it reaches the parasol, and the
green parasol is just now quite the
proper thing to accompany the green
costume. Large sun umbrellas and even
small dress parasols are found in this
popular shade. Yellow is another novel
color in parasols. These also are to ac-
com npany the yellow-trimmed costumes
which fashion dictates shall be worn this
season.
The following is the description of a
dancing gown, destin ed to make its
wearer vision of beauty: A faint green
silk skirt is yelled with g paler tint of
silk muslin, brocaded with creamy lilies.
The muslin bodice fits like a sheath over
a low-necked, sleeveless lining of silk.
Silver filigree chains loop the transparent
sleeves high on the inside of the arm,
and a silver collar and girdle hold the
gown at neck and waist.
The application of velvet to all kinds
of thin materials will be a feature of
summer gowning. Ribbon velvet will
trim alike the toilet of henrietta cloth,
nuns yelling, mousselaine de laine,
grenadine, gauze, tulle, and drapery nets
OF all descriptions. The ribbon will run
around the edge of underskirts, draw
alo nlpan 10 fha
the front of the bodice, or extend in
regular ladder-shape up the front or sides
of draped skirts.
Embroidery is still the most sought.for
trimming. Even in its simplest form,
the herring-bone stitch is considered
highly desirable. Besides appearing on
all articles of underwear as heading to
lace, it is seen in enlarged proportions,
the thread being silk or wool, upon skirts,
matinees, and elegant morning robes.
Thus, upon an underskirt of rose-colored
satin, five rows of herring-bone stitch are
worked in thick white silk, making a
pretty and novel border.
Piazza shawls of old rose, pale green,
royal purple, mahogany, white, and
cream China silk have flowers of self
color embroidered on them, and their
edges bordered with nine.inch fringe of
sewing silk. A beautiful shawl of white
crepe has wild roses embroidered all over
its surface, with branches and leaves
done in browns and green's. Some of
these shawls are woven in a shell-like
pattern with heavy sewing elk, and
their soft, clinging effect renders doubly
lovely the shapely shoulders they drape.
Finely meshed wool shswls have threads
of gold or silver running in and out, yet
no gaudiness exists.
