FASHION NOTES.

1t is no longer good form to wear
black underclothing.
Sleeves and collar of Persian lamb are
seen with dresses Of black cloth.
The fashionable mutt is very small
indeed, no larger than is absolutely nee
essary.
Some very handsome sleeves and COL
lars OF sealskin are made for tailor cos
tunes.
Lace garniturc and embroidery elTcots
will not relax their hold upon public
favor.
For evening, wide strings OF chiffon,
tulle or crepe lisse are tied beneath the
chin in great fluffy bow.
Tailors will again make stand in fa.
vor of short skirts that escape the
ground for all walking dresses.
Long military capes of mink are very
fashionable. They are made plain, OF
finished with deep border of mink
tails.
Sealskin and Persian arc very popular
in combination. The sleeves aud collar
are made OF one material, the body of the
garment of another.
A white enamel apple blossom, with
the edge of the petals overlappcd with
frosted gold and jeweled centre, is
new and pretty broach.
Pretty dresses ofgray stuff are trimmed
with shoulder frills, cuffs and collar of
red chiffon. Chiffon is still the fayorite
material TO, bodice vests.
The striped molrcs are still In demand,
but for rich visiting aud reception toilets
uncut velvet is being depended upon
more than for years back.
A caprice of the mode is walking
dress, half cloth, half velvet, which, if
the materials are both in the same shade,
or in rare harmony. may pass with
taste.
The bowknot grows more and more
coquettish. Surmounting stickpin,
with jewel in one of its fluttering
folds, it adds the last touch to the
toilet.
Yellow velvet pastiles and Van Dyke
panels are on white tulle. This design
Is duplicated in black and in scarlet.
Sapphires and pearls are diamonded over
white net.
A butterfly screen for a chandler globe
or small lamp is made with giIded
clothespin. The rounded top serves for
the head, and through the pin are Grim
killed. two wide, printed wings of tissue
paper, fieckcd with gilt spots. 1t is ex-
frnp1ntxy os fNln fC g, -
and pretty.
The very nearly tight-itting jackets
of seal, in three-quarter length, are the
most popular garments for young ladies.
They may be either all seal, or with Per-
sian lamb sleeves and collar. The for
mer is more favored by the ladies of
quiet taste, while the latter is by many
,thoughtto be more dressy.'
Crepe-inishcd Indias are soft, and the
shading rich. The bengalinc wcavers
are numerous this winter. The all-silk
bengalinc is pliable and very lustrous,
having much the effect Of sicilienne.
Victoria and cable cord bengaline are as
artistic fabrics as have been seen on the
silk counters for many day.
The closet linging skirts still hold
their own. especially for young women
with good figures; few add some rib
bon streamers, or beaded Wristbands,
with falling fringe OF the same on the
hips. They are still made with the cross
wise seam at the back, and thus form the
plaits gathered close togethar at the top /;
the skirt widcns in descending into the
fan-like form.
1t is seldom, indeed, that there is Of
tered so pretty n fabric for so little money
as the Yeddo crepe shown this season.
The colors arc varied and are all well
produced. Even the black is not bad,
and the white is prettier than any other
white goods of like grade. The pale
pink and blue are each excellent. This
material makes pretty evening gowns for
house wear, and will be dainty addition
| to the list of simple summer dresses.
