Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1892-01-28

Pine-green and swalow-bl.1 cloths
trimmed with Astrachan form some of
the elegant winter cloaks sent from
Paris.
Many of the dressy bodices for slen-
der, youthful wearers are sharply
pointed and fasten under the arm or else
in the back
The Bolero, or Spanish hat of velvel
bearing that name, is the very genera
accompaniment of the long, stately Rus
sian CLOCKS of cloth trimmed with fur.
The peculiar style of some of the
winter coats-military in effect consists
in the perfectly trim fit of the shoulders;
consequently they are slightly padded.
Bonnets made of tweed, Bedford cord,
cheviot, cloth or any other wool fabric
matching the tailor costume are still in
high favor with stylish women both here
and abroad.
Pretty round hats of heliotrope, sage
green, old rose, dahlia, and Venetian
brown are made of soft French felt trim
med prettily but economically with u
cluster of black ostrich tips and satin
ribbon loops.
Ingenuity has apparently reached its
limit in the designing of millinery orna-
ments, recourse finally having been had
to diminutive gridiron, tiny gold hay
rake and pearl-studded harpoon where
with to deck bonnets.
In garnitures this season the real nov-
elites and elegances are in the form of
various kinds of mingled open work and
solid embroideries and cut work in vel
vet. in the production of embroideries
upon cloth and other fabrics Venetian
designs have been largely followed
Some of the new silks are woven in
raised cord stripes, and also with satin
stripes on silk grounds for young girls
evening dresses. Lovely tinted satins
strewn with small bouquets of flowers in
natural colors are used for the bodice
and train, the sheath petticoat being of
plain satin.
A stylish Rubens hat of black velvet
has medium seized crown that is sur
roundered by full-pleated ruche of the
velvet, and is lined with scarlet satin.
The pleating is so arranged that only
glimpses of the brilliant color show here
and there. This is all the trimming there
is on the hat, except three black plumes,
short and full, set at the back among q
number of satin-lined velvet folds.
Many fashionable women in New York
are for the moment wearing picturesque
round hats which come well over the face
in preference to bonnets or toques of
any sort. These are really more comfor-
table Gf not so dignifed) than bonnet,
as they protect the whole of the head and
brow, matter of no little Importance
these damp and gusty winter days.
The princess dress appears in new
shape exclusively for tea-gown models.
The princess proper, as everybody knows,
is high-necked and made with skirt and
bodice in one. The new shape, called
the Turkish kaftan in its novel guise,
will be worn with straight open robe or
redingote above, often without sleeves,
those of the close undertakes taking
their place.
India red is the name given to q new
street shade of that color, which appears
in cloth and in silk and wool fabrics. 1t
is beautiful dye, between that of q
crimson rose and rich plum color. 1t
is exceedingly becoming to women both
fair and dark, and one of the very best
shades that the neutral toned type could
possibly select. The color is so deep
that it is not in the least conspicuous.
Table oentres-by which are meant the
variously shaped ornamental pieces of
needlework with which it is customary
to adorn the dinner-table-are no longer
confined to that place alone. The da-
mask cloth removed, the needlework is
replaced, and forms bright patch of
color, which is relief from the broad ex-
panso of the ordinary table cover. In
the sitting-room this artistic patch is also
seen.
