NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Cutaway Jackets: New Overshirts:
New Cottons: Ways Of Making:
Parasols.

To m eet fashions constant demand
for variety, new serge or wool jackets
have cutaway fronts and are some
what shorter than those Of last season,
or where cotton materials are used,
the extreme coat bodice length is adj
missable. A last seasons blue serge
jacket can be easily modernized by
rounding the fronts, shortening the
skirt three or four inches, putting on
a full, black moire colla-, quite deep
on the shoulders, moire cuffs and
pocket flaps. Duck, linen or pique
suits are made in the plainest possible
manner, short, cutaway jackets, full
at the back however, vests and linen
shirt fronts, with fourth. hand or
any other masculine.l blocking tie.
SEVERAL New STYLES OF OvERsKIRTs
have been introduced at late openings,
one Of which belonging to change
able silk costume. opens down the
front in points to the bottom of the
skirt, edged and trimmed with white
lace, the back arranged in one poin.;
another is entirely of scroll pattern
lace, sewed on a plain dark blue per-
Gale, Stimulating deep apron front;
but the most daring innovation, is OBJ
servable in striped crepon overskirt
scarcely reaching the knee, made up
of full pufings, set to four white en-
broidered bands. A second pulled
oversklrt is drawn on cords, the low.
er skirt cut in points over facing,
and edged by narrow lace. A pretty
way of trimming the skirt Of black
or colored muslin in tiny pin head
dots on a white ground, is two deep
ruf9es, each with three rows Of No. !
satin ribbon, at the lower edge, and
two on q standing rqfle, which is at
The same time a Heading; the rithon
and dots corresponding in color. Five
ruf1es, bordered with narrow lace
forms q fashionable skirt, and for
misses q muslin skirt with narrow
tucks finished by lace, tucked yoke,
Te'vers at back and front and frilled
sleeves trimmed throughout by mar.
row lace, is in keeping with youthful
freshness. Rosettes of the dress ma
terial and not of the trimming are
quite novelty, for the use of which
no rule can be given, perched on the
shoulders, anywhere around the neck,
on the belt or skirt.
BEDoUIN CLOTH, LApPETs
and cotton foulards, swell the ever in.
creasing list of popular cottons, and
saslns stamped in chine figures are
very clever limitations of expensive
silks. Cotton foulards, in dark ser.
viceable colors, diagonally striped by
means of myriads Of hair line stripes
with small leaves stamped upon them
are charming materials for those who
must avoid light colors. Lappetts
are sheer, pale-hued fabrics, in scroll
patterns or flowers, with several rows
of coarse zig.zag threads running
lengthwise, conveying the idea of EN-
broidery. Dimities preserve their
peculiar attractions against all Other
wash fabrics, so fine, so dainty at the
same time almost beyond the reach o.
any but the very well-to-do classes.
The POPULARITY OF BLACK MoIRE
is conspicuous in parasols, heavy lac'
insertion giving an additional richness
and one wide row about midway, witt
another at the edge, combining inser
tion and edglng is the seasons lead
ing style. White and black lace ruff
fes covering the parasol, prove tina
the partiality for this combination ii
not yet exhausted. Changeable sill
parasols, bordered by band of anoth
er shade of the same color, are an at
tractive change, and floral or plail
stripes in contrast predominate large
ly, as they are less expensive thar
more. White accordion-plaited chit
fon, or white MORE parasols, edget
by Point de Gene lace are dress,
styles, we'll adapted to piazza or car
riage use. Fancy woods, china knob
or balls, and white or black enamell
ed handles are prevailing favorites
some of wood being conspicuousl
large. VERONA CLARKE.
