WOMEN,S WHIMS.

Congress CATERS, the old time style,
with the elastic at the sides of the an
kles, are said to be coming in fashion
again.
While black hosiery is in general de-
mand, there is a steady call for colors,
and many ladies select them to match
all of their dresses.
Street costumes show the practiced
hand of q tailor and are for the most
part quite as plain as the most conserva-
tive taste could desire.
The usual high novelties in the glove
line come out with the utmost regular
ity, but are rarely seen on the hands of
ladies of conservative tastes.
Little girls dresses have sleeves made
up of a series of ruffies. This style is
used upon almost all materials and with
any model that may be fancied.
Skirts have changed but little since
the first spring models came out. They
still clear the ground and are under no
circumstances to be made to touch.
Some of the capes are very full, with
fluffy collars and in some cases the con-
spicuous and cumbersome bow that
seems to have become a fad with women
who follow the fashions.
One of the new wraps is a sleeveless
Jacket with a cape. This is exceedingly
convenient. as it slips on and off with
very little effort, point not to be over
looked in these days of puffy sleeves.
Jackets are shorter than heretofore,
with less fallness in the skirts. A great
deal of angularity is observable in trim
mings. Braids are put on with square
corners pressed fiat, long points, angles
and cross sections.
A simple and stylish house dress is
made of olive green wool challis. The
skirt is in bell shape, with three tiny
ruff1es of olive silk just above the hem.
The waist is close fitting, with shirred
vest and full pulled sleeves of silk. A
folded girdle and green bow finish this
costuIne.--New York Ledger.

two or three of different styles The
liking for the soft and statuesque effect
of crepon has resulted in the abolition
of starch from the laundry as regards
women's undergarments No skirt is
starched now.
If skirts are no longer made stiff,
what shall we say of the hats? They
have absorbed all the stiffening mate
rial there is. for every bow, every flow
er and every feather is stuck ont or up
as stiff as possible to get them A limp
bow or a dropping flower is no longer
stylish Witness one big chip Of silvery
straw with a pyramid OF forgetmenots
and outstanding bows, or another with
a rose spray looking as if from a street
peddler's hands, and with bows like
strips of corrugated iron, or perhaps a
sailor hat with loops of ribbon standing
up half foot, or a turban with bunch
of roses all as stiff as wires can make
them, or, last of all, a saucer hat with
great square bows and alert donkey ears
of jet. Why can't there be little grace
