FASHION NOTES.


Gently seen had wide moire stripe
effects beautifully woven into the
material.
Tiny jeweled combs to be worn al
the side Of the head, with the hail
coifured in old-style manner, are
also being widely introduced.
White and pale yellow evening
gloves are being sold for wear with
long-sleeved gowns. These have
stitching in black, white or yellow.
Turned down white linen collars
are very fashionable for young ladies,
particularly If they have clear enough
compilations to admit Of the severe
plainness.
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 un-
limited extent.
Even the sateens are brought out
with designs and colorings that sug-
gest moire, brochc and other rich
silks, and are i'm dark colors, suitable
to matronly wearers.
A short shoulder cape is made from
moire and continues in long, narrow
pans down the front, edged with
narrow satin ribbon. The points are
finished with jet pendants.
Many Of the pretty designs in
made-up neckwear shown in the
stores have odd, light cape arrange
ments. These are made Of colored
gauze, chiffon, crnkled crepon or
lace.
Velvet or satin ribbons, with heavy
guipure lace, are used as trimming
on fight challie gowns. Silk-fgured
challies will be much used for both
street and house gowns during the
summer.
Drill will again be n fashionable
material in white, china and navy
blues; but the newest drills are
striped with colors. The stripes are
very narrow and in various colors on
a neutral tinted ground.
On odd open-work Japanese fans
are seen spider web" decorations.
japanese fans with spangle effects
are being used as lamp screens, and
the rich shading Of the ornaments
come out beautifully against the
light.
A London hostess recently gave IA
blue dinner which bore out its color
to the letter, the table linen and
napkins being dyed to match the
flowers, lamp shades and the hostess
dress. Mauve dinners are fashion
in Paris, and Parma violets are the
decoration.
A new style in fancy hairpins
shows n head Of gold finish o. net
work OF silver, the odd prongs being
made of pearl. These are indeed
pretty, and their novelty will appeal
to the woman who has been COM
PEELED to secure her crown of glory
with the regulation steel, bone, shell
or metal pins.
A novelty seen at the jewelers. is n
highly ornate, heart-shaped patch
box, fashioned from gold or silver.
Even to this extent are the styles of
the Louis XIII era being revived.
These pretty little boxes will be use
full only as Il desirable addition to
the trinket collection that graces my
lady's toilet table.
Hats for little girls have very low
crowns. Some of them have 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, trim
med with wreath OF daisies, with
the stems braided to form n band,
and II box-plaited ruflle of chiffon.
Jet daisies or chrysanthemums
make entire capotes-three large ones
i'm front, diadem and row OF
smaller ones further back, carried
down on either side OF the chignon,
with some sprays or Jet aigrette on
the top, or few of the most fashion
able Jet ornaments, shaped like II
quill feather or narrow leaf with
the end cut off.
The late fancy OF the Paris dress
makers is for checked silks, talretas
or slightly heavier gros grains, which
are sometimes watered and are al
ways glace. The ground may be shot
in two colors, as pale green and white,
with fine line cross bars OF two colors,
usually white and black, or else it
has small blocks third Of an inch
,quare of several colors.
Sets of shirt studs are usually
mounted with solitaire stones of con-
siderable value. Cuff buttons are
also elaborately jewelled. Earrings
are scarcely worn at all, except in
the case Of solitaire diamonds. PEN
holders, pencils and seals are mount
ed with handsome solitaire stones ut
ths ends Of the handles. Thimbles
and scissors are also gemmed.
The latest bonnets from Paris look
extremely large, but diminish in
their apparent size when on. Strong
contrasts in color are introduced i'm
the new millinery, such as green OF
the bright grass shade with tawny
