A fashion recently set by one of the
elite of the metropolis Is the revival of

The latest fad of wealthy and fastid-
ious ladies is q craze, not for crazy
quilts, but silk sheets, daintily embroid-
cred.
Bonnets are quite small they are short
at the sides, and rather pointed, back
and front-rather the shape of half q
melon.
Berthas or neck pieces of light feather
ruching, with ostrich tips to be worn on
either shoulder, and a similar, though
smaller, bunch for the hair.
Cloaks are loose and long, often drawn
in at the waist at the back by baud,
and are trimmed with fur or passemen-
terie, or are plain, as is fancied.
For evening dress the skirt is cut with
train more or less long, as the fancy
may dictate, though dancing dresses are
convenient.
Talmas or long capes, reaching down
to the hip, are made of light colored
cloth. The back. front and sleeves and
the Stuart collar are trimmed with COL
ored passementerie.
new bedspread, in marked contrast,
is made of coarse linen sheeting, en-
broidered all over in gold colored silk in
bold, conventional designs, wrought in
the long-stem stitch known to our grand
mothers.
Fulluess or trimmings of some sort
continue to be put on nearly all bodices,
except the cuirass ones; aud they GROSS
or open over vests or plastrous, or are
ornamented with passementerie, just as
the fancy dictates.
Sleeves are made trifie wider than
formerly, but there is a tendency to
make them not quite so high at the top,
and the shoulder seam little longer.
They are also made longer at the hand,
quite covering the wrists and in some
cases reaching to the back of the hand.
But few silks are seen in out-of-door
wear, cloths and woolens of various kinds
taking the place of silk, even in visiting
dresses. Light wooden fabrics are also
much worn IN the house, while silks.
bengalines, crepes and gauzes are used
for evening and tremendous occasions.
Small paniers have appeared on come
of the imported gowns, especially those
intended for sfull-dress wear. The full
ness reaches from the front of the waist,
over the hips. and is gathered under the
plaits of the skirt at the back. This
drepery is frequently of some different
material from the skirt; it may CORES
pond with the sleeves or bodice.
Perhaps some of the ladies would like
to know that satin stripe grenadines will
be very important factor among the
new goods to come, and are considered
to be one of the very latest fabrics.
In making up the stripe will be cut to
show the bias effect, both in bodice and
skirt, which gives q new and unique
style. and is entirely different to what
We have had in the past.

of celluloid in crescent shape, upon
which are painted yellow, beil-sbaped
flowers with their leaves. Notch the
edge of the crescent, and make ipcis-
ions, through which may pass three yell
low ribbons of unequal lengths. Two
openings, about half an inch apart, are
required for each ribbon. Upon the
shortest one are printed the days of the
week; the second ribbon, which Is twice
the length of the first, has upon it the
names of the twelve months; and on the
longest ribbon, are the figures from one
to thirty-one inclusive. the number of
days IN the month. This first and third
ribbons are moved each day as the date
changes; but the second one Is only
moved when there is a new month.

consists of skirt and loose jacket in one
color and blouse in lighter shade of the
same hue. Delightfully."- artistic oolors
may easily be found in both cotton and
wooden cloth-the flsnnelettes especially
being very cheap and having a pro-
nounoed artistic air about them when
taste:ully made up. The blouse should
BE in strictest. harmony with the tone
of the material. and, in case the
wearer has white neck, will look ex-
tremely well when made with vide
collar and worn with a soft, loose cravat,
carelessly tied. Instead of a blouse of
surah or silk and wool mixture, you may
wear silk jersey with smoked front
and medioi collar, provided ones neck
be too thin to display with advantage.
With the Bohemian costume there goes
certain style of frisure which must be
quite unconventional and personal, by
which l mean that q woman must ac-
centus.s any telling point in the quality
and growth of her hair. For instance,
II she have a cowlick, display it in &
striking manner; il she have q hand
some. low forehead, roll her hair boldly
back from it; If her hair has tendency
to curl naturally, encourage it to its
fullest bent; il there be a quaint "
growth of hair on the forehead, make
the most of it, etc.
In this busy country, where q lady
often goes from the breakfast table to

makes her appearance clad in her con-
ventionai and tight-fitting tailor mads,
armed for the conflict of the day, and
must confess that modern life, as it be-
comes less and less picturesque, makes
the old-fashioned morning robe q rather
.seless garment. Hence our sex, which
is always frugal minded when it can be
so and still keep up appearances, seizes
upon the opportunity to be economical
and contents itself with plain morning
