ing wear. In the matter Of coIors, leather
! AMI brown and wine shades are The
| thing at present. More pronounced tints
are little sought after.
Black and white is favorits combina-
ton in new hats. Black felts are trimmed
with white feathers, and vice versa.
Shoes and boots are more peaked than
ever. Boots of patent leather are laced
over the instep. Kid shoes are embroid-
cred with silk and beads, but have only
the tiniest OF bows, and very often none
at all. For evening there are suede. calf
and goat, dyed in as many tints as the
modiste can produce in cloths, flowers,
silk or feathers. Some heels are black,
some are made Of leather, and both are
vanished, painted, blackened or covered
with kid. silk or satin. For all who affect
dressy slippers and house half-shoes the
Chinese last is the fayorite.
Scotch tweeds and cheviots maintain
their supremacy, and tartans have still a
place in the fashionable programme,
though they are far from holding the
position they did last year.

the way OF trimming on the skirts runs

dress seen was the trimming, which con-
sisted of several rows of velvet put on in
a Vandyke pattern around the bottom OF
the skirt and carried right up the back
from hem to waist.
Gold and silver passementeries are still
numbered with fashionable dress gar1i-
lures. A black cause gown with gold
spots, for evening wear, is edged with g
couple Of rows OF gold passementerie and
a lace founce.

Linen collars and cuffs are again in
fashion. the white plain linen suppressed
ing the colored collars and cuffs which
were somewhat in vogue during the sum

linen is at ali times in much better style
than the metal cords and fancy frills
which have been lately used by fashion
able modistes.
Most of the dancing costumes, es-
pecially when OF light and gauzy ma
ferial, have a ruche at the bottom, and

style of ribbon appears on the eorsage,

Taste in hosiery is degenerating. The
