FASHION NOTES.

Weighing baskets are pretty de-
parture in babylon.
Evening laces in all the dainty gaslight
shades are enhanced with delicate beads.
Overgaiters, in all colors, look particu-
arly well when worn with patent leather
lies.
The newest bit of revived antiquity is
stomacher, which may be of the same
material as the bodice or not, according
TO fancy.
A large amount of dull passementerie
is used, but at present ribbon velvet is the
favorite trimming even for dresses Of
very delicate material.
Pin satchels, sponge basins and fur
nished hampers, with trays and outside
aounces of Hamburg embroidery, amplify
the fashionable layette.
Embroidered robes of handsome Henri
eta cloth, forty-six inches wide, have
borders of lace applique; others are edged
with designs In embroidery, cording and
plaids.
One of the modes of the hour is the
seamless bodice, closed with hooks and
eyes under the left arm and finished ut
the waist with a shaped band covered
with embroidery.
Now that parasols covered with accor-
dion plating arc In vogue, it is an easy
matter for a skilful woman to renovate
her old one Ia this way, using silk or
some thin fabric.
The newest ribbons have different col
pred edges, the two sides are often I'M
like, and stripes are irregular and of
many kinds, sometimes being placed in
the centre of the ribbon.
1t Is necessary that the skirts of foulard
Or India silk gowns should be consider
ably fuller than those of woods, as they
are so light in weight they looked
scrimped when too narrow.
Hats of eccentric, bent-about, puck.
cred stretched shapes are in great
favor. Those of lace aud other soft ma.
terials are formed on plIablc foundations
and are shaped on the head.
Laburnnum is made entirely of silk aud
wool, is perfectly woven, and of light
weight texture. 1t is rich in color, and
comes in gray, old rose, heliotrope, all
the tans, aud brilliant blacks.
Look out for sham Lansdowno dress
goods. There is great difference in
the wearing qualities of the genuine and
the sham article. Thirty five shades oil
genuine Lansdownc are offered.
Forget-me-nots, in bunches, lilac5,
gentians, and rosebuds are stamped il
