Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1891-11-26

Cone-shaped pieces of white onyx top
number of hat-pins now worn.
Bracelets of gold wire have half dozen
diamonds strung along the center.
Solid silver photo frames come in
pierced work threaded through with fancy
velvets.
Emery bags devised as peaches,
mounted with silver tops, are among
quaint offerings.
An exceedingly neat ring consists of
slender gold wire, with three diamonds,
one above the other, in an inclined set
ting.
The fashionable shoe for winter is the
Blucher, with Piccadilly toe. This is the
thing for both men and women.
Seal or otter fur are said to be the
most becoming as shoe fur, owing to
their softness and richness, consequently
there will doubtless be many seal and
otter-trimmed gowns.
Plain-face cloths are still in demand
for visiting gowns, and Bedford cords
and rich camel's hairs in soft finish are
used by tailors. Olive-green, bright royal
blue and chestnut brown are among the
colors used for elegant visiting gowns of
cloth.
A famous rouge called bloom of roses
is made with half an ounce strong liquid
of ammonia, quarter-ounce purest car
mine, one pint rose water, and half an
ounce triple spirit of rose. Pour the
ammonia on the carmine and allow it to
remain four days, stirring occasionally,
then add the rose water and spirit, and,
after letting it stand for a week, decant
the bloom of roses.
Handsome dresses of black camel's-
hair are shown by tailors. These are
made up in combination with black vel
vet, and the cloth is elaborately en-
broidered with gold bullion.
Double breasted REFERS of navy blue
or Venetian-b brown cloth, and loose coats
of dark garnet or jet black Bedford cord,
silk lined, are made with large velvet
collars, edged with narrow roll of seal
or sable fur.
Milliners are just now showing partic-
ular partiality for ali bronze browns,
and the different varieties of green,
combining them with very bright shades
of pink, rose, violet and yellow; and
also for black in the shape of velvet,
feathers, and some very effective and
uncommon pieces and ornaments in cut
Jet.
Very large hats are not much worn
except by small girls. One of these is
of felt and has low pointed crown and
a wide brim arched in front and turned
up III the back. They are usually the
color of the cloak and have heecy beaver
brims. A stylish trimming is n huge
bow of changeable velvet ribbon set in
front, holding stiff quilts that point up
ward and backward
Here is II suggestion which will prove
u convenience to every woman who wears
u veil. Take the two ends and plait them
in little, soft, upturned plaits and sew
them with silk the color of the veil in a
close little cluster. When the veil is to
be adjusted all there is to do is to fasten
each of these ends with suitable pin.
In this way there are no ends to float
about at the back of the unconscious
wearer's head in an untidy, unbecoming
fashion.
There are very few walking skirts
which are not made to rest few inches
at least upon the ground. The circular
skirt, made of double-width goods, has
one seam only, and that in the back.
The fold of the goods comes just in front
and the skirt is rounded away at the bot
tom, just as seamless long cape would
be cut. The train falls in ample folds
at the back as it descends, covering the
seam which joins the skirt behind.
