 Fashions present fads and fancies as viewed by another society woman.
 This is the second article of the promised serles. The third is now in preparation and will be published shortly. There is nothing decidedly new and striking in the realms of fashion to chron- icle. In skirts the bell shape rules, and the demi-train is fast losing the modified ton demi and becoming train in reality. Yet, why should we fret at this when all the shops keep such dainty dress-liftersl The most convenient one is a small circle with two cross sections, which work with | 6 spring. These hold the skirt firmly and have the appearance of 8 buckle. They come in silver. oxydized and plain black
 The Vatican plest is becoming more and more universal. It appears on the new capes, wraps and gowns, and even the back fullness of many skirts is laid in a broad plest, which makes a longer train @ necessity, but which is vastly becoming | to tall, slender figures. In the cspes the Vatican pleat usually starts from 6 yoke or V, though in some cases it begins about three inches above the waist line, where 6 ribbon bow appears.
 The princess gown is quite the rage. It is style which sdapts itself to all figures, and can be developed in almost any ma terisl. Here the Vatican plest Is again prominent The princess can be msde as dressy as one likes by the addition oi frills and iabots of lace, or it can be made with nun-like simplicity. In either case il is charming.
 Once more we find the ever welcome shirt waist in our midst. This season the newest waists have a decidedly feminine frill of lace or embroidery down the hither, to plainly starched front
 Another pretty design shows tiny tucks forming pointed yoke, the extra fullnesi being drawn snuGly in at the belt. And speaking of belts reminds me thA they never were so popular. Perhaps thu Russian belt is one of the newest, ant the most effective is made of kid or seal pointed in front and studded with stee nail heads.
 The bodice belt is of silk ribbon with gold or silver clasp.
 Some pretty belts are made of soft fold of silk. fastened by a big soft bow at tn left side. These may be made in an. width to suit the wesrer's fancy. . With outing suits sashes are more gen erally worn than belts- They tie st th ' side with loop and two ends.
 But let all those who are the least b inclined to be short and plump bewar, for your belt will add very materially [ the size of your waist.
 To the "divinely tall" maiden I ms say, numerous thy belts as thy purse ca D. buy.
