FASHION NOTES.

| fASHlON MITES.
Colored linen dresses are quite non.
ular.
Ribbons were never so much won
as at present.
The latest craze in jewelcd orn,.
ments for bonnets and the hair is 4,
diamond bat.
Medium tan remains the favori,s
color for gloves. While other shade,
are old this is the standard.
The new chiffons are exquisitelv
beautiful, and come in delicate tintl
having raised figures in silk.
Deep square collars. sometimes fail
ing in folds at the edge, will be on.
of the features of autumn jackets.
Turkish toweling in pure white d
considered the most correct thing foJ
the covering of chairs and couches ID
the sitting-room.
Small girls dresses have enormousld
wide collars or shoulder ruflles thateIl
tend out over the full sleeves in such
manner as to suggest wings.
Round yokes of galloon, with wide
round corselet belts, also of galloonl
are worn with dresses of cashmere an 4
with other thin wooden materials.
The waist trimming of recentlJ
imported dress exactly resembles ths|
wings of butterflies, as though one d
these creatures was perched on eac
shoulder.
A ribbon rosette, with long hoatiu
ends, extending half way down Z.
skirt and placed at one side oa
square-cut bodice, is fashionabl/
dress ornament.
The notched Iapel-collar, which
often appears on tailor-made gowns
loses much of its severity when apple
upon the short, full waist OF II lately
designed street costume.
White kids and suede sailor hats M
new this season, but straw takes tn
lead, with quilts for trimming, Will
more fancy sailor has roses aroun
the crown and under the brim.
A hat, with medium-width brim
made with handsome lace-straw braid !
faced with black velvet and with !
trimming of loops and bows OF lac
and quantity of fine aigrettes, haj
been very much admired.
An easy way of making lace trim
ming distinct from the dress, to sl
on as required, is simple yoke O
piece lace with six-inch edging fulle
around it, and lace collar to finisA
the neck, or a Spanish jacket of lac
with deep turn-down frill all aroua
the top.
The parasol which is best suited Il
gingham and white outing suits is o
Indian pongee in the original creaa
color. The handles are of carve
burnt ivory. The rains may desceuj
and the floods come, but they are 4
little affected by them as are cottO
umbrellas.
Rainbow embroidery is novelt
seen on tea-cloths and other pieces
white linen for table use. A mat
be placed under an olive dish of cuS
glass has border of olives and thel
leaves are worked solidly. Such
border is not in as good taste, hog
ever, as one in flowers of soft, gay col
oring.
The rage for Jet seems never TO ha5'
run to greater extremes than at pres
ent. Fine jet trimmings are used O
handsome suits of silk, satin and ye
vet. The more elaborate the better
some cases. A front and side pane
are nearly covered and the jacse
fronts, collar and vest are as eleborat|
as skill and fine material can mai
them.
The lace dress is coming in again,
may be said, with flying colors, y
though most of the lace is black On
of the most elegant lace dresses of tA
season has the skirt made of Il ls'
circular. This circular is lined vii
silk, the hem has three or four SAT-
ruffies over which the lace falls; ros
of satin piping trim the skirt roui
and round.
White silk and fine muslin and lins
cambria kerchiefs, finished with draS
work and lace, are brought out 70
the babies, but are just as pretty 70
women's wear. They are half hand
kerchief, the long side slashed in ib
center finger or somewhat less dos
toward the point. The kerchiei
then doubled so that the two poin'
made by the slashing fall apart abO'
the larger point. hanging betwes
them. They make the daintiest OF oa
