FASHION NOTES.

Peach color with pistache is favor
lite combination among well-kept and
well-groOmed women.
This is the sort Of weather that brings
the girl in the white muslin OF the
dainty gingham frock to the front.
The midsummer hats show relief in
that beautiful and costly ostrich tips
take the place of spring flowers.
White birch is a favorite for bedroom
furniture. Against mating of yellow
and pink it is exceedingly pleasing.
Some of the new basSinetS are made
of giided, silvered and frosted willow,
similar to the baskets in the flower
shops.
Black mourning handkerchiefs of pom
gee, embroidered with white silk, are
new and fashionable, if gruesome, ac-
ceSsories of the toilet.
Crepe de Chine of luStreleSS black
is the favorite morning dress. This
may be had in crinkled, striped,
spotted or lowered surface.
AT the summer hops now in operation
dancing toilets have no neck, but the
black and colored kid gloves reach to
the shoulder, where they are fastened
with a ribbon.
Jerseys are worn considerably in the
W
the public street. Silk sleeves are
added. and the neck finished with a
turn-down collar.
Mothers who care to make baby
clothes can buy the yokes for long and
short dresses. They vary in price from
40 cents to S., according to the amount
and quality of work on them.
Standing frills of lace are substituted
for high collars and there are finger
deep ruff1es of mOuSseline de sole to be
sewed in the dress and turned back to
display the entire throat.
Regular ballroom toilets, cut walking
length and made with long sleeves and
high corsage, are seen daily at the races.
The effect in the grand stand is gay
enough, but taste suffers.
All the world of fashion, from the tod
dler to the agile beau of sixty, has taken
| to the blazer. The colors are those OF
| the festive Jockey and the cap is almost
| as ubiquitous as the blouse.
If woman only knows how to sew
she can buy dresses by the dozen at a
dollar piece. This means cheese
cloth. tennis cloth, bingham, barred
| muslin, challie, or cambria. the very
thing for hot weather.
| Some mousquetaire gloves in twelve
button lengths have been brought ou1
| in impossible colOrs, embroidered along
the back and vandyked at the edge
They are likely to be worn by the mill
! ion, but not by the exclusive.
| The bridal robe worn by the Princess
de Caraman Chimay, nee Ella Ward,
was of white satin fourreau covered
| with point lace. About the hem was {
fringe of orange blossoms, over which
fell flounce of lace. Being very slen-
der, she wore scarf of white China
Grape knotted at the waist, and long
| veil enveloped the whole trousseau.
Some city houses have windows large
enough for church. A clever an(
artistic idea for draping them is tt

this open woodwork hang the curtain
If desired this grill need be but foo
deep, and to balance the effect other!

with bamboo portieres.
All along the top of bookcases, lamps
china f1ower-holders and pieces of pot
terry, bronze and marble are arranged

eye take the place of paintings, th'
door being frequently used for thei
display "a wide sofa OF couch of bamboo
stained red, placed across corner ant
piled up with big Silken cushions
makes library a comfortable and capt.
waiting place to be in.
Bamboo racks to hold magazines
books. papers or pictures come in yari
Gus sizes and designs, and are stained il
natural wood colors OF treated witt
metal paint. These are convenient AM
pretty for decoration of country house
and seaside cottages, for, like the beacl
chair, they can be left any place. 1t
