Young. ladies will have a choice
in felt among English walking hats,
turbans, toques or round hats in such
fancy shapes thaespecial description IS
impossible. In the latter crowns are
invariably low and the brims extend to
a greater or less extent in front while
narrow at the back. Many are so small
as to seem a species of a cap, but again
there are repetitions of summer varieties
which are comparatively large with far
projecting front brims. Capotes run
from extremely small ones to others
quite large. the most noticeable changes
IN shape, being sharp point above
the forehead and a second that shows
front brim commencing like eoro
net but curving again outwar,ls with
pronounced contour. An unusual fea-
ture in felts moreover, is that of color,
some being brought out in shades OF
heliotrops or Nile green, both of which
will be very fashionable. Other shades
are dark green, dark blue, that is also
to be in much favor. russell, brown and
a large complement of black. For
DRESS BONNETs
the same hues will be repeated in velvet
with the addition in trimmings of tur-
quoiss blue which is to be prominent.
Narrow velvet ribbon is still very pop
ular, but there are handsome double
faced satin ribbons of greater width
and heavy gross grain or brocaded
ribbons from narrow to very wide,
some being opponents of artistic COM
bination in color while others are self
colored or again show rich Gilt or silver
weavings, the latter especially being
noteworthy. Fur bands and ornaments
are to be worn by those who can afford
them and otter especially will be in
favor, the little animals head placed
in front with sometimes three Prince of
Wales tips above. Styles in
DRESS GOODS
have never been so extravagant as to
size of patterns and weavings where all
that can be done by very large bouret;e
aeckings, astrakhan curls, patches Of
imitation fur or long camers hairs lying
thick over the material is accomplished.
Designs in which these features appear
are extremely large plaids or oblong or
round figures where outlines are some
times rendered indistinct, as for exam
pie where long hairs lie loosely or where
bourette or astrakhan weavings seem
thrown in position with shadowy out
line. In consequence of such pro-
nounced effects. plain material for
combination becomes a necessity and
it is not unusual to see dresses where
some touches only of mammoth patterns
appear, chiefly as skirt panels or form
ing two rows down the front with cor
| responding touches on the corsage.
GLOVES AND SHOES.
Tan or gray continue the shades foT
street or morning but for evening there
is also choice now among pale colors to
match dress fabrics while Moreover ac-
cording to Harris Bros, 865 Broadway,
who is well known. lead the glove trade
in America, undressed kid has all its
former prestage. Four or five buttons
are the length for general wear, but the
dealers just alluded to, have introduced
new fastener which is to be very pop
ular. To fashionable shoppers their
establishment is attractive as ever. but
purchasers of moderate means find il
an equally advantageous resort since as
may be supposed, all grades of gloves
are kept in a spacious building devoted
to the one purpose. As they supply
the trade almost everywhere, their
styles can readily be obtained at home
IL many places but mail orders for
ladies. gentlemen or children are filed
with conscientious care.
Tan or gray slippers in undressed kid
or calf skin are most frequently chosen
by fashionable buyers, because they
match any dress and The gloves as well
but the fancy for colored slippers has
by no means abated and produces much
that is coquettish. The Adonis' slipper
has long vamp with large buckle; the
sailor tie slipper shows short vamp
with small ribbon bow and the Opera
slipper comes low on the instep without
vamp and may be worn plain or with
ornamentation of embroidery.
