Fashion Notes.

From the New York World.
 Silver link belts and polonaise dresses go together.
 An effort is being made to introduce long eleeved redingotes of scarlet cloth.
 Very pretty spring dresses can be made of the new ginghams now in the market.
 Black lace collarettes fastened with knot of green grass will suggest stylish combi- nation for alpaca, glorioso or silk.
 Sleeve caps are made of crepe, silk or bro- oaded handkerchiefs, hemmed and tied over the shoulder with knot under the arm.
 Bustles, gum, accordion skirts, chatelaine silver, starched petticoats, buttons, jewelry and colors are few of the things that have been retired from the public street.
 Watches are not carried. Some leader of fashion read paper not long ago in an up- town drawing room on the slavery of time, and prestol chatelaine and corsage stem winders vanished.
 Mess coats and Eaton jackets of navy blue or scarlet cloth with petticoats of Irish pop- lin edged with fox, while designed for hunt ing and coaching parties, will be seen along the local drives about Easter time.
 It has comet the French hoop skirt, bus the price, sixteen dollars, will save the pub- lie. The foundation is of changeable silk, and over each hoop quilted ruffie is placed. In circumference the skirt is quite small. It would not be possible for the wearer to step over @ two foot mud puddle. She would have to jump or wade-if there was no one to carry her.
 Any girl who can use needle and ma. chine, who aspires to originality, and who has some individuality of taste, can buy 8 pretty silk dress pattern for seven dollars, and with the help of a three dollar seam stress make it cost but ten dollars.

 Life is too short to indulge in vain regrets, and when the woman of fashion exhausts her strength and interest and sacrifices her good looks to society the mirrors are ordered from her reach, the hot water turned of, fresh novels brought to her bedside and the baths, simple food and quiet for a fortnight will work wonderful change in a woman's face and spirits.
 There is nothing newer in the line of in- fants' wear than the French bibs. Squares of linen lawn, size between . lady's and gentleman's handkerchief, are fashioned with needlework and trimmed with thread lace insertion and edging. The simplest cost eighteen dollars. Crescent bibs are edged with lace, and in the center of the cambric one or two doves are shown in needle stitch4 ing. Nothing coarser than null comes in contact with the chin of the aristocratic babe.
 In the discussion of spring millinery g loud and imperative demand is heard fol water proof ribbons feathers and aigrettes Flowers and plumes will not be considered | owing to their perishable character. The straw turbans are faced with gold or silver lace; metallic, galloon or beaded bands en- circle the crowns of walking hats, and iaunt. fly perched up in a clump of jet or rubbe, stems are small black birds, sparrows and larks, made of pieces of glossy plumage. Many of the beautiful street and thsatel dresses are braided. If the color of the cloth is not particularly pleasing against ths face the whole basque is striped with 6 darker or contrasting shade.
