Striped wash silks are used for petit
coats.
Monograms are no longer used on note
paper.
A great deal Of narrow ribbon is used
on fine lingerie.
Gray is more economical color than
tau for gloves, as it cleans better.
Short, stout women should not wear
frills around the edge of their bodices.
White suede and channels gloves
are popular in London with all kinds of
gowns.
A new channels gauntlet worn in Lon
don is gathered upon an elastic on the
inner side of the wrist.
Some fancy combs with but two teeth
have cut garnet cabochon tops, which
look we'll in light or dark hair.
Some corsets for trousseau are of

The handsomest of French underwear
is of baptiste, cambria and linen, with
trimming of Vosges embroidery and real
Valenciennes lace.
a New York jeweler exhibits in his
window large brooch of copper ON which
is enameled rural scene 1t is sur
rounded by a row of pearls.
A late novelty in ribbon is of velvet
woven in curls with scallopcd edges to
represent waves. This is used rs skirt
trimming set on in graduated rows.
The latest chem,ses are cut en- cnur,
or in the form called Josephine, which
is rounder than Ell c1lr, and all orna-
mented with lace and open-work inser-
ton.
Etched on the cover of small silver
mirror to he worn on chatelaine is the
inscription: 'fA1y Best Friend" When
the cover is pushed aside the glass is re-
vealcd.
Every dress sent home nowadays has
silk dust-rufiie with pinkcd edges on the
inside OF the bottom of the skirt. 1t is
about six inches deep, and sets even with
the binding.
A brooch is in the form of NIedusa's
head. The face is of nooustone aud the
hair aud the serpents intertwined with 1t
are of gold. The scrpents' eyes are very
small diamonds.
Boots and shoes have round or square
toes. The pointed ones are supposed to
have gone out. They arc certainly the
most stylish looking, the others make
the feet look SO large.
A handsome scarf-pin represents half
blown rose and two or three leaves on
one branch. The stem aud leaves ard
of gold, and the partly seen petals arc in
enamel of delicate tint.
A gold hair pin is ornamented with q,
butterfly, the extended wings of which
are formed of large opals, each bordcred
by n row of small diamonds. A large
diamond is set in the head
Growing girls look well in the round
waists, jacket and coat effects, but it is
great mistake to trim these dresses ella
borately. Chiffon yokes and full sleeves
appear on the handsomcst house frocksi
for girls of all ages.
A hat of Neapolitan braid, with wide
and plant brim, is trimmed with trail
of hops, shaded oats and bunch of
hazlenuts. The haZlcnuts are of the pale
green, unripc sort, and the hat is banded
with golden green velvet.
Friuges of silk or cut jet, shaped to
deep points fronts and back and taperino
narrowly on the sides, are much used to
form basqucs to bodices. Stout women
like these fringes better than the basque
of lace net, or kits of material matching
the dress.
The popular Marie Antoinette fichu is
precisely like the scarfs, berthas and
capes worn by Marie Antoinette as she
played shephcrdess attended by the
ladies of her court. 1t is simply long
scarf -fronted bertha with the middle
gathered under bow of high loops, the
scalloped edge dropping over the front
hair.
With warm underwear the white main.
sock guimpes are worn through the win
ter. Skirts are of medium length and
are gathered nine times out of ten.
Sleeves are high and full as we'll. Waists
are of natural length and have side
forms usually, with a round or square
neck and the front trimmed in divers
ways.
Marie Antoinette sleeves are in great
favor for summer gowns, both for day
and evening wear. They fall straight to
the elbow, and are trimmed there with
a deep, full ruffle either of the dress ma.
terial or of lace. For evening dresses
two deep rufiles of lace form sleeves, and
may DC set full in the armholes OF
else added at the elbow of transparent
sleeves.
Oxford shoes of white canvas are
fashionable. They have tips and per-
forated bands of white enamellcd leather,
with an-colored heels and soles. Others,
like those of last year, have black patent
leather tips, ard sometimes entire vamps
OF black. English womcs have re-
turned to square-tocd shoes, but the
Piccadilly pointed toe is still preferred
