FASHION NOTES.

Do not wear a wide or neavy trim
ming if you possess small face.
Rose color, bright magenta, and sui
ferino are popular combined with black
in fashionable millinery.
Fashion has returned to the dainty
linen cambrics, lawns, and fine nainsooks
for underwear
Invitations to luncheons and teas are
sent on medium sized paper, in different
shades of purple.
DO not wear mourning vail so long
that it will tire the neck. Walls can be
so draped, also, as to lessen the weight.
Several rows of black satin ribbon of
graduated width make neat decoration
for dark green or navy blue wooden
gowns.
If you have been wearing yoke and
girdle of some vivid color with black
dress, make it over with jet, and the
effect will be that of a new gown.
Popular jackets show close-ftting
three quarter length model, witha plated
rever on the right 'front.' that gives a
very stylish appearance to the garment.
The new shapes in hats are of medium
size, the crowns being shallow, and the
brims dropping, and curved in every
imaginable way, while the toque is still
favorite style for ladies who prefer o
close style.
Wide collars and cuffs of rich lace,
particularly Irish crochet in cream silk,
heavy point de Gene, and white silk
Spanish guipure, are worn with many of
the handsome day and evening costumes
of the season.
The latest fancy in stockings is the
insertion of bit of real and often price
less lace on the foot and ankle. In white
silk stockings white lace is introduced,
while black lace is let into co.ored silks,
such as blue, pink, or red.
Seamless bodices. faring skirts and
distended sleeves sum up the fashions OF
the present moment. Seamless bodices,
while a pit-fall to the amateur dress
maker, are remarkably effective on s
graceful figure, in the hanGs of high
class modiste.
The purple of this season must be used
with prudence, even for house costume
In the richest of velvet it can be com
bined with many shades and colors, the
favorite being yellow, while in millincr!
it is most effective with light green
yellow, gold, and silver.
Shirt waists and blouses promise to be
even more popular than ever during thu
coming season. The principal chang
in them for the new season is the use o
full frill wide around the shoulder
and graduated in width to the waist
This gives the effect of bretelles.
The French couturieres have adopted
the shirt waist idea in many of their ficl
costumes of wool with silk or velvet
Blouses of plaid or rainbow velvet con
tinue to be shown with many Frenc
costumes where the skirt and remainde
of the dress are of shaggy wool camel
hair.
In capes the little Vatican is, perhaps
best worth noticing. This cape is ''little
J. only in length; in breadth it is of n
small proportions. 1t reaches barely t
the waist, is cut perfectly round, an
falls in a large Vatican pleat back an
front. Heavy satin, with guipure in
sertion. and the shaded velvets, are EN-
ployed for it.
The materials for girls best dressc
are crepon, talfctas, and the finer WOO
ems. and these last, with the accessoriC
of velvet still retained, or with CALICO
garniture, rows of braid, Or apple
passementcre, are extremely pretty
while tweeds and cheviots have becom
so attractive as to be quite good enoug
