SLEEVES AND COLLARS.

SLEEVES AND COLLARS.
The flaring Medici collars may be
large or small, and over the bust in a
point, finish in the front with square
or pointed ends, or end three inches
back from the centre front, with the
front covered by a straight collar.
They are edged or covered with pass
ementerie, embroidery, or feather
ruching. Turn over lace frills are
worn in the house, and the now fash
ionable full ruffs of crepe, lisse, etc,
furnish stylish finish for the Ordi
nary high collar. Cloth gowns are
prettily trimmed with a border on
the front and sides of the skirt and a
fiaIed collar of ostrich feather ruch-
ing, which may be had for two dol
lars a yard, four inches wide. Velvet
ruffS are worn with outdoor costumes
in place of fur collars. They are OF
velvet cut on the bias, eight inches
wide, doubled, gathered, sewed to
narrow band so tb4t one lies down
,und- the neck and the other stands
up, and the joining hiddril by tiny
band of feather trimming. Braided
sleeves in black are worn with plain
and figured gowns. The material IS
cloth or Henrietta and silk cord en-
broidery. Braided silk or bengaline
sleeves may also be preferred, but they
are not as durable as the others. 1t
cost three and A>half dollars to have
two sleeves braided in this manner,
the owner furnishing the material
aud the factory the embroidery silk
Ready-made trimmings of passemen-
terie initiating brRiding, are in the
form of entire sleeves, iseket fronts,
cuffs, epaulets, Jokes, Medici collars
and girdles or corselets; but these ele
CANT novelties are beyond the reach
of ordinary purses.-Erchdnge
The high linen collar, which for a
time fell into disfavor, is again worn
but only with wool dresses. The col
lar button must not show and the
collar must be stiffand straight.
HEAD-wEAR.
Among hats, the soft crowned ones
are mosI popular, and although they
really very hard to make. The ex-
tremely flat hats, saucer like in shape,
are also stylish, but are a trying
shape to most people. Flowers are
much used on both hats and bOnnets
tins season. Bonnets continue to be
email and the late shapes are very be-
coming.
In choosing a veil 90 not select
common" beauty spot veil; either
plain net or that with small dots is
preferable.
JEWELRY AND FLOWERS.
Although dresses are simply made
Tor street wear, laces, flowers, and
jewellery combine to make evening
gowns look very elaborate. Neck
laces are again in favor, the dog-col-
ar shape being most popular A
mixture of metals in iewelry is now
rage, gold and aluminium being a
>tylish combination.
Bracelets of flowers worn as a finish
to the tops of long evening gloves,
now accompany horal boas mnffs of
the same are very pretty. Flowers
also adOrn the hair, but ONLY in small
quantities. Small lunches of plumes
are also stylish aud extremely be-
coming to some faces, while ieweIed |
pins and combs play an important
part in evening hair dressing at ali |
times.
Waved hair is again fashionable.
but the light becoming little bang
cannot be dethrone
