FASHION NOTES.
A sailor hat with wings is novelty.
Rosettes of satin are the favorite
trimming on toques.
Small dropping clusters of violets
or roses are placed at the back of tiny
bonnets.
Black, wine color and golden brown
velvets will be in great demand for
winter millinery.
Groups of humming birds make ex-
quisite trimmings for capotes made OF
rich-hued velvet.
A new shape in hats is the Marjorie.
It turns down slightly in the back
and up to a point in front.
News comes from Paris that the long
stocking is doomed and that the ultra
fashionable woman now wears socks.
For comfort, no hats are equal to
those of soft felt, which come in
several shapes and are trimmed with a
single wing or quill.
Antique satins and rich miroir vel
vets in the exquisite new shades will
enter largely into all trimming, and
huge rosettes of ribbon will be used
on many of the hats.
A tiny jet bonnet IN the shape of a
small Dutch cap is trimmed with an
edged putting and Alsatian bow of
Chinese pink velvet with aigrette and
jet brooch in the.bow.
A good golfng suit-Looss plain
skirt of clan tartan or plain gray or
brown, braided edge, belted blouse
similarly braided coming to the hips,
fore and after cap or Tam.
Glover blossoms are particularly
fashionable just now, and the new
makes are wonderful improvements
on the old productions. They are
realistic enough to deceive even q
honey bee.
Black and white striped ribbons are
much used to make rosettes and bows
with outstanding ends, these being ex-
tensively employed to trim turbans
and French toques. The still popular
magenta roses are very frequently
used in addition.
An extremely odd fancy among ultra
fashionable people Of London just at
the moment is that of wearing on
"dressy occasions sleeves without color
intimacy with each other, ill-sorted
sleeves very often, and in any case
suggesting unpleasant ideas of acci-
dent to limb and careless replacement.
Whole costumes of black glossy as.
trakhan are the height of elegance.
These have plain hanng skirts, short
jackets with huge sleeves and revers
and collars of the fur, while under.
meath the bodice is worn vest of blue,
red, white or yellow ladies' cloth.
This fastens with gilt or pearl buttons.
Handsome costumes of cloth and
cameps-hair are trimmed with revers,
epaulets, etc., of chinchilla, astrakhan,
Persian, sable, etc. Chinchilla is one
of the prettiest, softest and most
youthful-looking furs that can be
worn. 1t is especially becoming right
against the face, and makes lovely
sapes and collars.
Some toques have a velvet covering
put on very loosely and puffed out 80
as to form kind of ruching about
the edge. One in tan-colored velvet
is trimmed with a black ostrich
plume put on one side. A black felt
toque is ruched about with cerise.
colored velvet and has a rather large
bow of the same tinted satin.
Sashes are 10 lose none of their
popularity for months to come, as
large invoices of the most beautiful
ribbons of medium and very wide sizes
are already in the importers hands.
These consist of satin bordered corded
silk patterns, those that are shot and
sprinkled with beautiful shaded flow.
ers, Roman striped varieties, shot and
frosted silk effects, shepherds check
weaves. etc., and colored and black
moires.
Attempts will be made to make
plated effects fashionable again this
season, with good prospects of success.
Skirts made entirely of plated silk
will be made up for both day and
evening toilets. The new plaits are
small at the centre, where the waist
opening is, and wider toward the out
side. They are thus called fanplaits.
In the waist, which accompanies the
skirt, the plaits are small at the waist
line and wider above. The effect is
light and graceful.
