FASHION NOTES.

Modistes now charge extra not to dup
licate the costumes they make.
Black hose for slipper wear have the
instep in new designs of lace work.
1t is noticed that the English fashion
of bridemaids in colors now obtains here.
Venetian hand-carved furniture is the
latest to receive fashionable acceptation.
Artificial vioets made of silk and per-
TUNED are in close proximity to perfec-
tion.
The locomotion of the "swagger set"
is not a style of pedestrianism worth i'm
itation.
Blue serge is suitable for general wear
dresses intended for shopping, walking,
travelling, etc.
No woman remembers ever to have
seen anything handsomer than the new
sunshades now on exhibit in the shops.
Jewel boxes from Japan are screwed
TO the bedstead underneath the mattress,
and have new combination for each
day of the week.
Black watered silks striped with gold,
nasturtium red, old rose, mauve, etc.,
IRE made up with soft, lustrous satins
the color of the stripe, draped with black
lace, or wrought with cut jet in fine ara
besque designs.
A stylish and pretty effect was lately
produced by wearing black and gold
striped silk corsage most simply fash
ioned over black silk skirt, the lower
edge of which wac finished with yellow
silk ruche set inside wider one Of black,
the edges of both ruches being narrowly
fringed.
Six or seven yards of double width
wool goods will make dress in the sim
pie way now fashionable, with bell
skirt, and belted wa st Some fancy
material may be added for yoke, belt,
collar, and cuffs, such as ribbed velvet
or striped MORE, with gay colors on
black ground, or else dotted or brocaded
satin.
The new French swallow tail coats will
be smartly worn by slender women. The
seams up the back of u golden-brown
cloth coat Of this description are over
laid with fine brown silk gimp half an
inch wide. This gimp is carried the
whole length of the garment, and it also
covers the side seams and the dart seams
in front
Whatever change may take place in
the style of the corsage in tho near
future, there is yet, generally speaking,
no such thing us u wholly plain waist
outside of Shukerdom or the convent.
All are drapei or garnitured in some
fashion on one or both sides, down the
centre, or combining the three style ON
one corsage.
Rough effects will again prevail among
dress fabrics, and French camel's hair
and English serge will be among the
favored materials Pinked and fringed
ruchings will be used us trimmings.
The three-quarter coat reappears en-
suite with walking and visiting Co.'S
tunes, this very frequently of fabric
matching the gown.
Flower fringes are very popular, and
they come in all dainty blossoms, such
as forget-me- nots, violets, valley lilies,
and small blossoms generally. With
them come pretty and effectively ar
ranged garlands for the corsage, and
sometimes little coronet for the hair,
with few nodding blossoms standing up
in aigrette fashion.
Very ladylike and handsome gowns Of
fine Venetian cloth are worn at afternoon
teas and informal dinners. These, us a
rule, are in princess style, with artistic
Greek draperies, which give them their
title of "picture" dresses. Beautiful
India cashmeres and camels hair fabrics
are also made up in charming style for
visiting and evening concert.
The newest invention for bonnets is q
kind of n clasp which is inserted through
tho hat or bonnet to fix it on the hair.
The outer part is made of chiseled gold,
steel, or silver, and can be worked so
that it opens small steel clasp in the
inside, which pinches the hair. AS many
as four of these can be worn with u large
hat, and with the present hats and bon
nets, which have hardly any crown nor
anythink to fit to the head, they are very
useful.
Soft undressed satins with lustrous
surfaces can now be found in all the
dry goods houses, and are being sold at
just half their former prices. They ap-
pear in all the delicate and beautiful
evening tints found in higher-priced
textiles, and the paler dyes make charm
ing toilets for young girls when fashion
cd with rather full skirts and bebe waist.
