FASHION NOTES.

and belt are the accepted outfit for
morning wear for young ladies.
Among novel receptacles for cut
flowers none are more effective than
the tall, slender, cut-glass vases in ir-
descent shape.
Narrow-toed shoes are blessing co
the members of the medical profess
sion who make II speciality of the study
and care of the feet.
Some new bonnets are small almost
to absurdity. They are scarcely moro
than head-dress tied on with couple
of bits of marrow ribbon.
A stern decree declares that young
woman must wear u high neckod and
long slccvod bodice, no matter how
beautiful her neck may be.
Never were furs and fur trimmings
in greater request. Some newly i'm
ported costumes Of finc black India
cloth nre trimmed on bodice and
sleeves with ermine fur.
White silk hose intended to accom-
pany rich bridal costumes have "real"
lace inserted over the instep or lace
effect woven in. The silk is beaut1-
fully fine and the lace handiwork truly
exquisite.
Some of the new moires have q
ribbed surface which does not pre-
clnde the introduction of satin dots,
or the addition of floral and other
patterns in chino effects, or stripes
and bars of velvet.
A bright cherry or n corn-hower
blue is the color for the velvet bows
worn OH the head for evening occa.
sions, and which will drive out the
"theatre bonnet, or tho worse mon
strosity of the theatre hat.
A square of three or four yards of
tulle makes pretty bridal veil. The
edges of the veil should be left raw and
the tulle draped over the head and
held in place by ornaments or long
fancy pins. 1t should entirely cover
the bridal gown.
Tiny collarettes for dressy uses are
made of watered silk, embroidered or
braided cloth, fur md lace, aud
brocade. One of otter in pointed Van
dyke shape is made with a Medici
collar of sealskin and partly yelled
with white guipure lace.
Black satin chaussures are lined
with pumpkin yellow and other gay
hues. There arc pntent-leather shoes
with oval slashings carried oil around
across the top of the foot, these open
ings being filled with slips of gray,
red, orange, or cream satin.
Refers for boys of heavy chinchilla
cloth soft and thick as blanket, are
fast displacing long overcoats. They
are bound with braid, and have wide
turncd-over sailor collars for the
younger boys and narrower ones of
velvet for the boys of five years and
over.
A new idea is to open the cores of
n skirt about foot from the bottom
and insert little fanlilke pieces of vel
vet to harmonic with the predominant.
ing material. The cores themselves
are treated to fold of velvet running
over another length and giving q very
handsome finish to q cloth costume.
The red vests in vogue are made OF
fine cloth in various shades, from scar.
let geranium to rich dahlia tint. The
military effect when the vest is but
toned up to the high collar ut the
throat is perhaps the most ultra-fash-
ionable, but again it is seen open at
the neck to display hand tie.
The bride of to-day carries either q
fan of white ostrich feathers or n
prayer book bound in suede, MORE.
ivory or vellum. The dropping bou.
quet IS tied with long satin ribbons.
One or two pearl or diamond orna.
ments are permissible, though very
young brides look best with no such
adornment.
A very stylish black MORE hat, with
white lace trimming, is made to match
delightful little cape. The cape con-
sists of three very full ruflles of heavy
rich MORE, made with very low broad
shoulders and trimmed with white lace
bands. The lining of this little gar
ment is SO lovely it really seems pity
it could not sometimes be worn inside
out.
Ribbed velvet makes stylish and
dressy waist with full surplice or
draped front that is carried in soft
folds from the right shoulder and side
seam across the front and round the
back where an end from the right
side hooks to it, thus forming belt.
Lace crayats and jabots are worn with
these waists, some of which have satin
capes and sleeves.
This season the correct bridal gown
whether of satin, MORE, bengalino
or brocade-is of an "opal pearl tint,
and is trimmed with chiffon or silk
muslin ruflles, knots of satin ribbon
and orange blossoms. Lace and pearl
passementerie form an appropriate gar
niture for the gown of The tall, nature
locking bride. Fichu and shoulder
cape effects, lace berthas and clusters
of ruflies edged with narrow passomen-
terie are in good style.
