FASHION NOTES.

Chiffon veilings are in demand.
New white serge caps arc piped with
MORE.
Shepherd's-cheok costumes are in
high vogue both hero and abroad.
Street suits of hair striped or dotted
pique have. q gored skirt, open jacket,
and vest of white linen duck cut dou.
ble-breasted.
The woman who loves to wear bows
may crafty her fondness to its fullest
extent this season for they are allowed
by fashion to an almost unlimited ex-
tent.
Turned down white linen collars arc
very fashionable for young ladies,
particularly if they have clear
enough compilations to admit OF the
severe plainness.
Dotted Swiss muslin with lace and
ribbon trimmings makes ON ideal grad.
uation dress. A more elaborate gown
is one of white crepon or Fayettn,
with moire sash and bodice trimmings
of MORE.
Shot fabrics still find favor and de.
serve to do SO. Timid women who
eschew bright colors, but like little
color relief, find it to their great satis.
faction among the shot materials OF
the season.
The height of elegance in garnituro
is realized by the association of lace
and jet. Ono choice trimming of this
kind presents succession of fms
made of jet beads and oabochous, and
edged with box plated point d'esprit
lace.
A pretty fancy for evening rs the
wearing with checked silk toilet n
wide sash bow and ends of black tulle
with q spreading bow without ends,
added to the bodice and put on few
inches below the throat where the v.
opening terminates.
Black stockings, either in silk, Isle
thread or balbriggan, remain in favor.
Tan colored are the only rivals, which
are chosen to go with tan suede
slippers. With evening toilets, stock
ings match the slippers, which are of
satin, MORE or material of dress.
If we are to wear draped skirts, the
pointed "apron" drapery, reaching
to the edge of the dress il the immedi-
ate front. and drawn thence in up
ward direction, terminating Mt the
whist, the back of tho skirt being
moderately full, is as pretty style as
any and also becoming to most figures.
Hats for little girls have very low
crowns. Some of them havo the brim
rolled up about three or four braids
wide; others are turned down about
the same distance. One of the latter
is exceptionally pretty, trimmed with
wreath of daisies, with the stems
braided to form band, and box
plated ruffle of chiffon.
Pearls are in fashion this season and
are worn as earrings, dog collars and
sprays in front of bodices. The new
est dog collars are no longer made OF
single row OF large pearls of immense
size, but an uneven number of rows OF
smaller pearls with diamond bars at
intervals. They are mounted on
velvet of some dark shade.
Sailor hats with medium wide brims
appear in oil the fashionable shades of
the season to match the Elton costumes,
this shape being considered almost
universally as part of the suit. Thoy
are made Of clip, rice straw, Neapol.
itan braid, and of coarse and fine
braids of every description. They are
now often trimmed on each side OF
the crown with plain band front and
back.
Points of vandykes figure promi.
nently among tho Jet novelties and
very artistic effects may be obtained
with them. They are composed Of
small jet facets, very minute beads,
and large cabochons that stand out in
high relief from tho othor jets and
greatly intensity the brilliance of the
decorations. Some Vsndykes are in
open scroll or whool patterns and
others are solid.
A new shaped cape shows two long,
narrow points falling in front. The
cape proper is made of lace or fino
satin, and falls little below the waist
over each sleeve. In front the points
reaoh half way down the. front. A
shortshoulder cape is made from MORE
and continues in long, narrow pans
down the front, edged with narrow
satin ribbon. The points are finished
with jet pendants.
To the unpractised eye there is little
change in shoes for feminine wear,
but it is still q fact that small feet are
growing moro scarce every day. Wo-
mon now find themsele wearing No.
5 who formerly wore No. 4. Amply
large shapes are just now tho thing,
made with low broad heel, pointed toe
and straight edge or buttoned lap. In
contrast for dresay wear arc those
with arched instep and Louis Quinze
heels. Patent leather Oxford ties for
summer will divide favor with russet
