! of tho Fashions.
/ Many princess gowns have the seams
defined and also covered by narrow
silk or gold galoon. All skirts are lined
Throughout with silk.
A novel trimming for black velvet

,colors, as for instance com bination Oh

lquently accompanied by curls Otten
tho front hair is parted and taken back
in loose, classical waves.
! Many costumes, particularly those oil
simple make, are made without side
forms in the back and have the skirt
permanently sewed to the bodice, MAX
ing q one-piece gown as easy to put on
and off as q princess dress.
Silver blue aud other shades of French
ieamel's hair for receptions, calls and
lother demi-dress use have the foot of
tho skirt trimmed with 81 narrow band
Iof beaver fur, with a fiat bias band OF
velvet above il overlaid with fine,
straight rows of gold and silver braid.
Moreen petticoats are largely sold in
lplace of silk. The latter are now lined
with flannel for winter wear Moreon,
AS most people know, is watered
woolen fabric, 1t Is dyed in various
Icolors and should be lined with taffeta
silk Shirts of moreen sold ready-made
are finished with deep hounce trimmed
with ribbon.
Skirts, while remaining close-htting
about the hips are quite full around the
bottom, and all are long. The majority
of corsages preserve the coat effect,
either ia actual cut or in the disposition
of the trimming. Sleeves are much
less prominent on the shoulders and are
still subsidipg. Jackets are all much
longer than those of last spring and
winter
Tan-colored gloves are still favored
for day and evening uses. 1t is unfor-
tunately not uncommon to see n taste
full toilet spoiled by q pair of soiled
gloves Even very grand danes have
made themselves subject to criticism in
this matter; but soiled glove is coun-
ttenanced by la mode if it is a suede,
which may account for their continued
popularity.
Some very beautiful undressed kid
gloves for evening wear have just been
iopened to view by noted Broadway
importer The colors are copied from
the delicate tints OF various flowers
lroseheart, etc. and also the pale shades
of green of many kinds of foliage. All
lthe tan shades, from the softest doe
tint to russet, are in the list of fashion
able gloves.
! Scores of beautiful ball toilets are
finished with bands and grouped clus-
ters of ostrich feather trimmings, but
there are fringed silk garnitures roset-
ted, curled and plated to represent
feathers, and very pretty results are
thus achieved. Moreover, this silk
Lodging is Inexpensive and it serves to
border many of the still popular Medici
collars, which without some soft edg.
ing or lining are apt to prove too stiff
and severe to be becoming to many
faces.
! In the matter of boots for walking
the purists have it all their own way.
"A few fancy tan and other colored
'cloth-topped shoes appear en- suite with
com bination costumes, but nothing
could be palmer or more absolutely
free from ornament of any kind than
the leading accepted shoe of the pres
,ent The frivolous white stitching and
Irrelevant fancy buttons have disap-
peared completely, and those who in
sist on glitter of some description adopt
the half patent leather; but the major
,ity, who study the becoming, choose a
soft kid of the plainest make, with a
graceful 'half-high" heel and protec-
tive sole. .-Chicago Post
