FASHION NOTES.
Colored linen dresses are quite pop
ular.
Ribbons were never SO much worn
rs at present.
The latest craze in jcweled orna-
ments for bonnets and tho hair is IL
diamond bat.
Medium tan remains tho favorite
color for gloves. While other shades
are old this is the standard.
Tho new chiffons are exquisitely
beautiful, and 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
tho covering of chairs and couches in
the sitting-room.
Small girls dresses have enormously
wide collars or shoulder ruilles that en-
tend out over tho full sleeves i'll such
manner MS to suggest wings.
Round yokes OF galloon, with wide,
round corselot belts, also of gnlloon,
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, MS though one of
these creatures WIS perchcd on each
shoulder.
ribbon rosotte, with long floating
ends, extending half way down tho
skirt and placed Mt ono side of
squarc-cut bodice, is IL fashionable
dress ornament
Tho notchcd lapel-collnr, which so
often appears on tailor-made gowns,
loses much of its scvority when applied
upon the short, full waist of lately
designed street costume.
White kids and suede sailor hats nre
new this season., but straw takes tho
lead, with quilts for trimming, while
II more fancy sailor has roses around
the crown and under the brim.
A hat, with medium-width brim,
made with handsome lnce-straw braid,
faced with black velvet and with
trimming Of loops and bows of lace
and q quantity of fine aigrettes, has
been very much admired.
An easy way of making lace trim
ming distinct from the dress, to slip
on ms required, is simple yoke of
piece lace with six-inch cdging fulled
around it, and lace collar to finish
the mock, or Spanish jacket of lace
with deep turn-down frill all around
the top.
The parasol which is best suited to
bingham 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 as are cotton
umbrellas.
Rainbow embroidery is novelty
seen on tea-cloths and other pieces of
white linen for table use A mat to
be placed under IN olive dish of cut
glass has border of olives and their
leaves are worked solidly. Such n
border is not in rs good taste, how
ever, as one in flowers of soft, gay col
oring.
The rage for jet seems never to have
run to greater extremes than at 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
nre nearly covered and the jacket
fronts, collar and vest are as elaborate
rs skill and fine material can mako
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 tho
season has the 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 lis pretty for
women's wear. They nre half hand
kerchief, the long side slashed in tho
center finger or somewhat less down
toward the point. The kerchief is
) then doubled so that the two points
} made by the slashing fall apart above
| the larger point, hanging between
them. They make tho daintiest of col
lars.
