FASHION NOTES.
Some new skirts have very wide box
plait at the middle of the back.
The soft white and yellow leghorns
are still popular hats for little girls.
Widows bonnets have strings of corded
white ribbon, dull in finish. and nearly
finger broad.
Black lace mittens Of great length are
fashionable. as are also those of ecru and
white net, decorated with tassels ON the
drawing strings.
Green and black, blue and black. and
white and black are stylish color com
binations for dresses.
Silk muslin, accordion plated, is much
used for the bodices of summer gowns,
| and the corsages have square Jokes of
guipure lace or handsome embroidery.
Fancy waists of accordion plated
black mousseline dc sole. made over
fitted Innings of bright silk and worn
under beaded jackets. are fashionable
and novel.
Simple styles are best FOR wash dresses,
and they should be made without lining,
as dresses made with Innings are difficult
to launder.
Leghorn flats bent to suit the wearer's
face are indispensable accessories for the
really stylish wardrobe summer outfit.
The crowns of these large hats are fire.
quently removed and garlands of roses
with trellises of leaves replace them.
There are fabrics without number and
trimmings galore which may be utilized
for children's garments; but this is to
be a cotton season, and the styles for
dresses are particularly suited to the
wash goods, and certainly nothing is
prettier for the little ones than white
gowns.
An effective and stylish trimming for
China silk gowns is ecru or black lace
over the distinguishing color of the
frock. For example, black groun(
upon which yellow flowers or geometri-
cal designs are tossed will have Il black
lace over yellow. Black China Grape,
with insertions and picot edge trimming
for rutfles and bretelles, is considered
especially effective.
A dress Of plain silk, with an elaborate
trimming in the shape Of plaid scarf,
is new caprice. The scarf extends
around the collar, crosses down the front,
meets ut the back of the waist-line and
falls to the hem of the skirt. 1t is edged
with lace or closely plated ribbon.
. One Of the most stylish, simple cos
tunes of the season is made for World.
Fair dress. The material i. blue denim
with trimming of thick blue braid. i
is made with skirt aud jacket and a sill
, blouse, or Il highcut vest is worn will
, it. 1t is strictly tailor-made, and a
stylish as it is unusual.
t Lace capes were never more popula
e than at present, almost every importa
ton showing quantities of them. Som
are made entirely of lace, others Of lac
and satin, while some are combination
Of lace. passementerie and embroidery
with ribbon in enormous quantities.
, New parasols are masses of lace an
! other thin material. In some model
there is square Of embroidery or puff
: ing in the middle OF the top with wild
a ruffles aud loose pulfs of the thin good
at the edge.
Red is used as much as ever for sea
8 side and country wear, while serge j
Q liked and black serge is somewhat newe
. than the ever popular navy blue.
g After the attempt to harmoniousl,
t blend all the colors of gorgeous parro
l in one gown, it is relief to find tina
the stylish combinations OF black an,
s white or black and cream are popular.
Among the novelties are Marie An
tOinette capes of lace, either black o
white. that are to be worn with summc
toilets. These have long scarf end
: that iasten at the belt and fall to tn
skirt hem.
. Cool summer dresses in white an.
a green or white and mauve or gold, ar
! of viii crepaline with garniturc o
: China silk arranged as soft, easy cmpir
f vest with bretelles of lace beyond.
The Partisan style Of wearing elbo,
Q sleeves in the daytime is not UNIVERSAL
s adopted. The expense and inconvcni
, ence of long gloves are sufficient objec
J. tions.
