The Grecian style of hair dressing that
has just come in fashion is not becoming
TO ell faces nor is the modus understood
lis wearer must have a small, straight
chin and low forehead, because sc
much is made of the hair. It is fringed
on the forehead, and the rest of the hair
Is waved, and rises in three bands to the
oack OF the head. The hair is drawn up
IN pun through each band, and per-
maps a dagger Is worn through the knot
at the top. The bands that confiue the
hair are usually of tortoiseshell. women
| VINO wear this style must be careful not
to let the knot be too high at the bacl, NJ

NOTES.
Black velvet ribbons is the fayorite
style of trimming for lace dresses.
The fashion of dressing small children
In black is fast dying out, having been
run into the ground by the lovers of ex-
tremes.
Gloves range from eight to ten but
tons for ordinary wear. For evening
dress twenty are not too many.
Jet, bead and pearl embroidery are
used sparingly on dressy dresses, and not
at all on mourning gowns.
White shirt-fronts, with standing col-
lars and three bows in narrow ribbon
dividing the space between the ton
basque button and the collar are much
worn. The basque is in black.
For the seashore or ordinary visiting
the large round hats with a fall of lace
all around, are the most ell giant head
gear imaginable.
Pearl gray is much worn in the street
this season. Made perfectly plain, with
touch OF delicate green or pink in the |
nat or spray of lilies in the bodice II ia !
an exceedingly fresh toilet.
The flower toques are going. They
nave become so disgustingly common |
that women of taste are no longer wear
ing them. Black leghorn hats are
smart, but very unbecoming
save to few favored mortals.
Jackets aud vests for travelling in the
country are in great favor. The iacket
Is made of the same material as the skirt
aud the vest is made of lighter shade
Of cloth or pique. These costumes are
extremely becoming to most figures.
What Is most essential in the making
IL the present street skirt is to render
he back widths fun and to leave album
liant fiaunt about the ankles. The hips.
without seeming pinched, should be
trapped neatly, and long bias pieces in
erted in the back breadths of skirt
will render it wider and fuller about the
eet.
The shirts worn by women with their
ailor out jackets and blazers this season
re an improvement on those of last year.
hey have cotton bodies, with pidue or
men fronts. They are also made IN
hecked and spotted zephyr. A neat {
tile silk tie has been specially invented
wear with them. Tiny gold studs dot !
ne front, while the cuffs are held to- !
ether with link buttons. ,
Parasols are being made very large TO 4
'lleve the immense dimensions of straw q
ats, and the wonder is that ANYBODY t
18th capacious brim would want a par I
iol. This same observation doubtless s
I'd to the invention of of the sun screen b
hich is intended to be carried in place
