SOME FRlLLS OF FASHION

fARAso!s are unique and elaborate
combinations of chiffon, lace. rihhon
mowers, and feathers, and are beautiful
70 look upon. They appear to have
peen fashioned by miliiners. and war
ranted to give satisfaction in the shade
only: If, like pictures, they are to he
admired and sought after as treasures
OF art, then they will fulfill their mis-
sion.
.NE1Ls for large hats are very long and
wide and draped into festooons around
the brim.
ARrIFICIAL flowers are so true to nat
ure this season, and so perfect, one
cannot help being disappointed to find
the fragrance wanting.
RIBBONS of all kinds are in great de-
mand for dress trimmings, as well as
millinery. The pale shades are shot
with constrasting colors, and some are
very beautifully brocaded.
HE new straws are dyed in all the
fashionable colors, and manv of the
hats are tartan The old fashioned
boat-shaped hat is coming in again.
The trimming consists of two long os-
trlch feathers, arranged one on each
side, between the crown and the brim ::
there is velvet bow and a paste
buckle in front.
SAILOR hats, which are always used
for lawn tennis and boating, are more
becoming than usual. The shape is
something like the old one, but has
round brim, and is trimmed with sash
ribbon around the crown, tied in bow
at the side, under which the brim is
slightly caught up. They are made
OF nutmeg straw, in all colors.
LACE is more popular than ever.
Flanders lace, point de Venice, and
Chantilly are used unsparingly on dres-
ses. Point gaze, point d'Alencon ORR
entail laces, and guipure are also to be
used.
WEDDING gowns for Easter brides are
Of white satin and heavy rich moires,
and are simple only in the cut, for they
are more richly trimmed than ever
with lace and ribbons and trailing
flowers.
A PRETTY fichu is made of triangu-
lar piece of Chinese crepe edged
around with double ruffle of point de
Gene lace, and embroidered in each
corner with small spray Of flowers.
THIS seasons brocades are extremely
elaborate. Old libraries and museums
in France have been rummaged for
ideas and designs which are still con-
sidered superior to modern work. The
most dainty and costly goods are bought
by Paris milliners for theatre bonnets
and Leghorn halls.
TIE mourning Of the English royal
ladies is so simple that it has excited
comment from foreigners who
have seen them. There is an
absence of Grape, and long floating
wells of thin net are worn by the
Princesses.
THE clinging, close-ftting style of
dress is still to be worn, and the new
goods are to be soft, pliable, and have
a glossy surface. A mixture of silk and
wool will be used; also Bengaline and
fancy silks, which are spotted, striped
or slightly checked. Others have a
shaded ground, with punches of
flowers scattered over.
THE silk petticoat for full dress should
he cut with the bias seam IN the back
like the dress, and trimmed with one
deem flounce with narrow Russian lace
on either edge.
SILK skirts are to be used for street
wear, with jacket waists of cloth OF the
color prevailing in the changeaole SILK
of the skirt.
THE long street skirts are going out OF
fashion. and in their place is prettlly
shaped round skirt, which just touches
the ground. Demi-tralns are Tor calling
and house wear, and long trains appear
only on very elaborate occasions.
THE very latest Partisan fancy is the
Creek bonnet. 1t is made Of jet and IN
h front is a jet moon. Instead Of the con,
ventional ribbon ties are three strings
of let beads, fastened on either SIDE by
a crescent and finished at the back with
a mauve and green aigrette inches
high. ,,
TIE new umbrellas have unique ham
dies which serve double purpose ,
