FASHION NOTES.

The very newest form of skirt trim
ming consists of frills below the waist.
A revival of the long mousquetaire
gloves for afternoon wear is said to bo
threatened.
Emerald green and rose color are tho
favoritc combination in Paris at the
present moment. There is . new and
effective kind Of coarse net in black or
color, which is made up over contrast
ing silk. In black it looks remarkably
we'll over vieux-rose or pure white.
A novel veil is of accordion plated
black net or gauze.
Nothing looks more ladylike than
white serge, and the girls one sees wear
ing it give one the impression that they
feel the heat less than other folks. A
charming costume of this material was
made in the plain skirt and coat fashion
and worn with crossover waistcoat of
white silk.
White duck dresses made simply with
plain skirts and open jackets look de-
lightfully cool and easy. They are
usually worn with colored silk skirts.
Heavy armure silks are much liked for
jackets and wraps. Some of the new
styles have full collars of lace and any
amount of lace garniture in front, over
the shoulders and around the sleeves.
A much admired hat for garden party
wear is made of very wide lace stiffened
with wires. This is plated to a center,
and is trimmed with loops of ribbon AID
field flowers.
1t is said that Grape, except for
widows, is to go quite out of fashion.
Yelling, grenadine and the like, are to
supersede it.
A stylish India silk has nine ruffles Of
satin ribbon around the skirt. The
rufflcs are in groups of four, three and
two.
The combination of black and cream
color 10 just now exceedingly popular,
and deservedly so. It is quiet and lady
like, becoming also, and by no means
devoid of certain air of refined elegance
that is restful and charming when tho
prevailing tendency is towards excess Of
color.
A coarse make of net, which looks
something like the Russian net of two
or three seasons ago, is in vogue again
for trimming. You see it on nantes,
and tea gown lately made was draped
with 1t. In this case the net was white,
so the effect was rather striking.
Though stripes of lace insertion or
foolish little frills are both fashionable
adornments, many perfectly plain skirts
are being made by first.rate modistes.
Fashion doesn't get 1t all her own way,
as she did once upon time.
It's wonder that alpaca doesn't be.
como fashionable for outdoor dresses.
II women knew what was good for them
they would certainly wear it more than
they do at present. There arc few stuffs
that hold less dust.
Large sprays Of flowers for the front
OF the bodice are tho thing at smart teas
this season.
English modistes are making skirts
narrower every day. They are scarcely
more than half the width they were at
the beginning of the season, and the best
dressmakers are no longer using stiff
materials for lining.
Most OF the dress bOnnets arc mere
airy nothings of lace and flowers incapa-
BILE OF affording any protection against
sun or wind. Were It not matter of
custom, one might dispense with summer
bonnets altogether without being In tho
least Inconvenience by their absence.
The new crepons are mostly shot and
showered with silken spots to match ono
or the other of the component tints.
Some OF the shot canvas fabrics are very
beautiful, and satin canvas-qulte q
novelty-has fancy shot ground
scattered SC over with arabesque designs.
These are trimmed with sleeve-puffs,
girdle, and collar of mirror" velvet.
