Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1891-11-19


quaint offerings.
An exceedingly neat ring consists of a
slender gold wire with three diamonds
one above the other, in an inclined
setting.
English women continue to wear with
their tailor-made suits very high collars
collars that only seem possible to the
long, English throat.
1t is gravely announced, by fashion
able shoemaker, that women really in the
best style, as far as shoes are concerned,
will have on those made of green calf
skin, laced with brown. 1t would be
rather curious to see the woman who
would dare wear these.
The daintiest stockings to be worn by
a bride are of fine white silk with q
medallion of Valenciennes lace set in the
instep.
Lizards, spiders, and serpents are ap-
proved ornaments for the hair, the gro
tesque in jewelry reigning supreme at
the present moment.
Nowadays the wearing of false hair is
barely tolerated, and women with but
little of their own arrange what they have
to the best advantage.
Quaint old china and pottery models
are being revived for flower holders-a
milk maid and her buckets, and animals
with flowers springing from their backs.
One of fashions bizarre fads is the Red
Riding hood cape, which is of cloth of
the most vivid tone but of the finest
quality.
Dress skirts are being made narrower
even than they were worn few months
ago; indeed, those who affect the exagger-
ated mode find difficulty in walking.
An expensive but handsome novelty is
amazon cloth ornamented with fiat band
of feather trimming made of lophophore,
peacock or other brilliant plumage.
A favorite material for plain skirts, to
be worn with Independent bodices, and
also for jackets, capes and princess
dresses, is short piled silk plush called
velours du Nord.
The most elegant material for visiting
and dining gowns this season is the finest
plain cloth. Its weight makes it possible
to use brighter colors than would be de-
sirable in less solid fabric.
Just at the present moment milliners
particularly favor bronze browns and the
different varieties of green. With these
colors are combined very bright shades
of pink, rose, scarlet and yellow.
What is known as the sanglier felt hat
has rough surface, and is designed ex-
pressly to wear with shaggy tweed and
rough camel's-hair costumes. The trim
ming of these hats is either eagles
plumes or other stiff feathers, secured
with knot of brilliant scarlet or equally
brilliant marigold yellow ribbon.
Elegant evening dresses are ornament
ed with delicate silk embroideries or
handsome jeweled passementeries around
the hem, often arranged in deep points.
The bodice is made with collar with
deep points standing like Stuart fraise
and with cuffs, extending nearly to the
elbow, of the deeply vandyked trim
ming.
The heavy foundation-skirt is omitted
in many of the most elegant and expen-
sive imported gowns. The one skirt is
either in bell or circular shape, and is
lined throughout, or, when the cloth is
extra heavy, it is faced up about half a
yard on the under side and for quarter
of yard only in case reversed hem is
used to finish the skirt on the outside.
Very handsome are some of the French
walking coats made of deep Alderney
cream -colored billiard cloth and trimmed
with cut jet cabochons and faceted nail
heads. The coats are lined with black
satin and finished with large revers
collar Of black-fox fur. Other models
in cafe-au-lait brown of the palest tint
are lined and trimmed with very dark
mink fur.
"Uhlan blue" is q very favorite shade
of that color. 1t appears among WOO
fabrics in ladies' cloth, camel's-hair
India cashmere and Syrian cloth, alsC
occasionally among the fancy Bedford
cords and corded silks. 1t is devoid O.
any purple lights and has no hard, me
tallic shades by day or by night, and i
10, lhcIelorc, cACeptlohuliy peconiihS
blondes and to brunettes with color.
The velvet rosettes that have OBJ
tained so much lately are still fancied
and, to carry out this artistic idea, are
to be preferred to bows, as bow should
not be placed where something does moi
seem to require joining together, where
as rosette, being purely an ornament
can be placed where it fulfls its duty il
life, and is simply decorative.
The prettiest of aprons is one made o.
fine lawn, and which has lace about thre,
inches wide put across the lower edge il
founce fashion, caught up here ant
there by stiff rosette of white ribbon
The bib is "a small pointed one, made O
lace, and fastened just at the point tt
the bodice under another rosette; the
strings are of white ribbon and are tied {
little at one side.
