FASHION GLEAYINGs.
With the French ladies nothing is so
largely worn as black, and when black
colors are used they are toned down gem
orally with black garniturc.
There are many novelty patterns in
designs of bordcred goods in Paris, rs in
our own country, but even these are i'll
many instances blended with black.
Many black and white figures in borders
are seen; also beautiful gray and black
combinations.
In novelty goods one great advantage
is that one does not have to purchase
extra trimmings, and pretty effect Is
obtained ut small cost. The colors most
fashionsble are those which best har-
monize with blAck-dahlia, pigeon blue,
oak leaves, rosewood, cedar brown and
granite gray, constituting hose most in
favor,
Sash effects are prevalent, fronts, pan
els and borders are all shown in the
| leading fashion reports. Fringes are Il
| leading figure in winter trimmings, from
| six to twelve inches in depth.
| Pushes and Velvets will be much
used in dressings and trimmings.

prevailing leaders of style; in Boston

/ liberately and with such painStaking as
| to be in perfect taste, nevertheless. Some
