are nmong the novelty trimmings.
Three-cornered Napoleon hats are
new and very becoming indeed to

Old Roman coins are mounted as
medallions. Another manifestation
is designs in metal, with legends in
French or old English.
The skirts of three-quarter length
coats are not so emphatically ripple;l
as they were last season, but still flare
gracefully from the figure.
The rose and reseda shades, used
separately or in combination, have
lost none of their popularity. On the
contrary, they appear to gain in favor
continually.
There have been unusual displays
of leather goods during the past week.
Soft ivory tones prevail. These goods
are bound in silver, frequently touched
with enamel.
Plain wool skirts and blazers, with
blouses of tartan silk, are fashionable,
and a new dress has the waist and cuffs
of plaid with the tops of the sleeves in
black to match the costume.
A genuine old-fashioned poke bon
net has trimming of loops of ribbon
at the side with plumes standing high
up over the crown. 1t is tied under
the chin with wide ribbons.
White silk, satin and moire en-
broidered in beads are fashionable
garnitures, and an entire costume in
white brocade outlined with opales'
cent beads is among the newest impor

Accordion-pieated skirts in silk,
liberty satin, chiffon, and net are still
very fashionable. Some of these show
two or three rows Of rather wide moire
ribbon carried in aud out of the
meshes as O border.
Veil fasteners are new. A butterfly

Among some stylish costumes from
Paris exhibited this week was mode

with collarette and wrist trimmings OF
sealskin. The cloth skirt was edged
with the same fur.
Lace and embroidered chiffon are
proIigally used for decorating the
bodices of evening toilettes OF every
description. For young girls whose
collarbones are too much in evidence,
when they determine upon wearing q
lownecked corsaSe, dainty stock col
lar of velvet or silk, edged with lace,
is decided Improvement.
