FASHION NOTES.

n new dress material introduced this
season IS the Japanese cotton crepe.
Toques and capotes are us small and
hats as large as those worn last season.
The straight brimmcd Derby hat is not
generally becoming, and may be confined
to the few.
Dress bonncts look to be about big
enough for doll, but too small for
woman's head.
The handsomcst jet trimmings are of
very finc-cut beads, set solidly in ara
bcsquc and branch patterns.
There is distinction with difference
between the tea gown and the ncgliocc, n
fact some women have yet to learn.
The straight skirts of little girls
dresses are very full this season, and are
simply finished by a four-inch hem.
Black velvet sleeves are introduced
into coats OF tan color, terra Gotta and
dove gray, making n decided contrast.
Jet garniturcs are again very fashion
able, and are employed upon all colcrs
and qualities of silk and wool fabrics.
The new terra-cotta shades are known
MS Smyrna, Cadi, Parthcnon and AIonrol,
from light 10 dark, in the order given.
Beautiful scarfs in Maurcsquc lace,
three yards long and half ii yarti wide,
can be utilized i'll various ways for neck
wear.
Gold lnces and passcmcntcries in the
popular Vandyke patterns are much used
upon dressy gowns, either appliqued or
inserted.
Chinese silks in stripes are to have
great run this summer. They are re-
vival OF Il fashion of full quarter of IL CEN
fury ago.
Venetian cloth is used for spring
dresses, made with a princessc coat back,
whose skirts are continued until they
reach the dress hem.
| tlack cord passemcntcries are inter
ue,en with gold, silver, bronze and al
not every color, and also with Scotch
effects in tinsel
:cforc the days of so much sumptuous
:eries, were women lees happier than
they are nowl 1t ought to be question
for the womcn's clubs.
A French toquc made OF sage green
velvet, the front adorned with an agricttc
of fine green foliage, is II useful and be-
coming hat for spring.
Wide brims and flat crowns still ap-
pear and there is some variety in shapes,
although the general effect, when
trimmed, ia pretty much the same.
There is Il crazy effort on the part OF
dressniakers to elon9ate their customers.
Since the Punishment of the hustle there
is no waist line, and hips and belt meet
in many OF the ultra walking suits.
Some very pretty conceits in veilines
are shown; the new ones have extra fine
meshes and either very fine chenille dots
or tiny pastilles close together, or large,
lar apart pastiiles, rings or cresccnts.
Round French waists without darts or
side bodies and shirred at the neck and
waist line, front and back, are first choice
for summer fabrics and Slight figures.
Full leg-o'-mutton and Bishop sleeves go
with these bodies very nicely.
Monochromatic is the most fashionably
descriptive adjective in use. 1t is an.
Piled to dinner table, concert toilet, an
interior and u wedding. To be mono
chromatic, to have a spread en- mono
chrome, is the perfection of taste.
A novelty is the gran de beaute, or
beauty-spot net, with pastillcs very far
apart, which give the effect of the beauty
spots worn by our great graudmothers.
Plain, fine mesh nets, with borders of
small medal vandykes, are also new.
Gold braid is put on gray dresses and
silver on brown. The Grccian border is
very beautiful done in ribbon or machine
work about the skirt and corsage of n
house dress, but to employ either on a
street dress is an offense against good
taste.
Enamced jewelry is by no means out
of date, but the violet, pansy, marguerite
or wild rose has had its day. Now the
orchid leads. There are no less than a
dozen to choose from for lace pin, in
the heart of which solitaire of some sort
is buried.
