FASHION NOTES.

OF the season.
The big Gainsborough hats are to
be worn this winter.
Ivy leaves are q late and unique
idea in millinery devisings.
Fashionable women should never
wear anything but suede gloves.
Elegant fall evening wraps are lined
with MORE and with plain or brocaded
satin.
Duchesse satins in evening shades
line long and short opera cloaks Of
velvet.
Dainty bib collarettes are of coffee
colored net-top lace and cherry velvet
ribbon.
Military capes of covert cloth are
saen in mixtures of brown, gray, blue
and fawn.
Ribbons have come to stay for
while, but laces will receive their share
of patronage.
Blue and green and blue and hello
trope are two of the fashionable COM
binations just now.
Umbrellas were never cheaper.
Dresden and natural woods are the
prevailing styles in handles.
The hair of every woman, whatever
her age, contour of complexion, must
be parted to be fashionable.
One of the features of hair-d1 essing
just now are the fat pointed curls set
in the middle of the forehead.
The ribbons used upon the new hats
are very wide and a great. deal is re-
quired to fashion the new bows.
Along with the red browns are seen
the familiar dull leaf shades, deepened
and melted into indistinct green's.
Red currants are being used for
dress trimmings for evening wear, and
make most brilliant trimming.
Most of the ultra-fashionsble veil
ings, whether of coarse or fine mesh,
show widely scattered black chenille
spots.
Deep collars of handsome lace, in
white, ecru and beurre shades, Will be
worn with fall and winter house
gowns.
Gray serge Of the black and white
mixture wears we'll and is q welcome
change from the blue and black serges
80 long worn.
Little girls dresses, with velvet
yokes, shirred waists, full sleeves and
velvet collars and cuffs are preferred
for ordinary wear.
Among the new materials of the
season is the shot Chine grenadine,
usually on dark ground, and made
up over shot glace.
In day dresses broad horizontal
stripes are being treated very success
fully. They are cut so as to form
chevrons down the front.
Pin spots in white on black, or black
on white, are used a great deal, and
black satin is intermixed with almost
every material and color.
The enormous collars in the various
kinds of heavy lace are very stylish,
but need to be worn with very large
sleeves to really look well.
Old-fashioned bandans silk made in
India, thirty-six inches wide, are waist
novelties, exactly like the handker-
chiefs used by the old snuf-dippers.
The dainty sets of side combs shown
by jewellers are very expensive. These
combs are of shell, entirely plain or
ornamented with gold or silver filsgree
work.
Black, in velvet, silk and ribbons, is
selling very well; indeed, so we'll that
it has been observed that "one might
SUPPOSE our fashionable women on tho
verge of going into wholesale mourn
ing"
The old-fashioned snuff brown, SO
becoming to fair, high-colored COM
plexions, will be much worn, snd for
this shade Persian embroidery or black
Russian fur makes the handsomest
trimming.
In tailor-made coats and skirts pleas
ing combinations may be found that
are at once economical and smart.
Capital Holland coats and skirts tailor
made, with the skirts boasting suffi-
cient fullness to meet the DEGREES of
feehion CON also be made for little cost.
The leg-o'-mutton sleeve is in for
another year. 1t comes wrinkled. like
the mousquetaire, to the elbow. 1t is
seen not only in silk and stuff, but in
cloth bodices and coats of light ma
terial. 1t is not good judgment, how
ever, to put it in a bodice to be worn
under coat, for reasons of grace and
comfort.
The new tones in brown for autumn
and early winter wear show a decided
tendency toward red infections.
Burned -four, auburn, mahogany, rust
color and autumn leaf are the names
by which some Of them are known, au-
tumn leaf being hardly more than
dull red, with bronze shadows, which
show only in folds.
A pretty, simple gown, recently
seen. was of white dotted Swiss over
pale yellow. The overskirt was just
caught up on one side to show the
narrow rufles of yellow silk. The
sleeves were not lined, and were in
deep puffs. ending in equally deep ruff
Aes. There was belt of ribbon,
and the low half-neck was finished
with a rufae edged with yellow. A
tortoise-shell comb in the sweet etyoung
wearer's hair completed the costume.
