FASHION NOTES.
Colored linen dresses are quito pop
ular
Ribbons were never SO much worn
rs MT present.
The latest craze in jcweled orna-
ments for bonnets and the hair is Il
diamond bat
Medium tan remains the fevorite
color for gloves. While other shades
are old this is the standard.
The new chiffons are exquisitely
beautiful, aud como in delicate tints,
having raised figures in silk.
Deep square collars, sometimes fall
ing in folds Mt the edge, will be one
of the features of autumn jackets.
Turkish ,toweling in pure white is
considered tho most correct thing for
the covering of chairs and couches in
the sitting-room.
Small girls dresses have enormously
wide collars or shoulder ruillcs that OK
tend out over tho full sleeves in such Il
manner rs to suggest wings.
Round yokes of gnlloon, with wide,
round corselet bolts, also of galloon,
are worn with dresses of cashmere and
with other thin wooden materials.
The waist trimming of recently
imported dress exactly resembles the
wings of butterflies, us though one of
these creatures was perched on each
shoulder.
A ribbon rosette, with long floating
ends, extending half way down tho
skirt and placed Mt one side of n
square-cut bodice, is fashionable
dress ornament.
Tho notched lnpcl-collar, which so
often appears on tailor-made gowns,
loses much of its severity when applied
upon the short, full waist of lately
designed street costume.
White kids and suede sailor hats are
new this season, but straw takes tho
lend, with quilts for trimming, while
moro fancy sailor has roses around
the crown and under the brim.
A hat, with melium-width brim,
made with handsome lace-straw braid,
faced with black velvet and with q
trimming of loops and bows of lace
and quantity of fine aigrettes, has
been very much admired.
An easy way of making lace trim
ming distinct from the dress, to slip
on rs required, is simple yoke of
piece lace with six-inch edging fullcd
around it, and lnco collar to finish
the neck, or n Spanish jacket of lace
with n deep turndown frill all around
the top.
The pnrasol which is best suited to
gingham and white outing suits is of
Indian pongee in the original cream
color. The handles are of carved
burnt ivory. The rains may descend
and the floods come, but they are as
little affected by them us are cotton
umbrellas.
Rainbow embroidery is novelty
seen on ten-cloths and other pieces of
white linen for table use. A mat to
be placed under an olive dish of cut
glass has border of olives and their
leaves nre worked solidly. Such a
border is not in rs good taste, how
ever, MS one in flowers of soft, gay col
oring.
The rage for jet seems never to have
run to grenter extremes than Mt pres
ent. Fine jet trimmings are used on
handsome suits of silk, satin and vel
vet. The more elaborate the better in
some cases. a front and side panel
are nearly covered and the jackct
fronts, collar and vest are us elaborate
rs skill and fine material can make
them.
The lace dress is coming in again, it
may be said, with flying colors, al
though most of the lace is black. Ono
of the most elegant lace dresses of the
season has tho skirt made of lace
circular. This circular is lined with
silk, the hem has three or four satin
ruffles over which the lace falls; rows
of satin piping trim the skirt round
and round
White silk and fine muslin and linen
cambria kerchiefs, finished with drawn
work and lace, are brought out for
the babies, but are just as pretty for
women's wear. They are half hand
kerchief, the long side slashed in the
center finger or somewhat less down
toward the point. The kerchief is
then doubled SO that tho two points
made by the slashing foil apart above
the larger point, hanging between
them. They make the daintiest of col
lars.
