FASHION NOTES.

EASitiOS toALo'
Velvet yokes-so becoming to The
slender tigure-wiil be much used Tor
fancy house iodices.
Buttons will be much in evidence on
the smart gowns; those modelled from
the antique are very artistic.
Oats, wheat and even corn leaves
are seen in some millinery, notably III
hats that come out from London.
The godet bodice, with its full pep
lum, is vanishing, but skirts to waists
will be among the seasons fashions.
Though the fiat has gone forth for
tight sleeves, their severity will be re-
lieved by epaulets, or trills falling
we'll over the shoulders.
The accordion. plated skirt--than
which nothing is more graceful for q
slender figure or more charitable TOR
stout one-will be much used for
d1essy house toilets.
Boleros and jacket bodices which
have been of lace through the summer
now show in velvet to be worn over
vests of sheer batiste embroidered in
Renaissance patterns.
Jeweled lace, gold braid, studded
with Jewels, sequin embroide7ies i'll
set demgns, and antique buttons in
gold ere seen among the elegant novel
lies in dress trimmings.
Lace and pra;ded bolero jackets will
be worn extensively over the smoothly
fitting bodice, while embroidecies
edged with gold cord or braid will
garnish that which suggests TIE iull
blouse effect.
AS goaet skirts and big puffed
sleeves are doomed, the pendulum
threatens to swing to the other ex-
IRENE, and whispers are heard OF un'
becomingiy tight sleeves ald tae
severely clinging skirt.
The separate bodice Of silk is down
in the list OF must.ha7es, again to re-
place tie faithful cambric and batiste
waist. The only novelty about them
is that they will tone rather than con-
trast with their accompanying skirts.
A zouave jacket Of black satin with
applications Of ivory lace, worn over
II full vest Of white grass linen, and
finished with black satin cuffs and q
black satin tie, is o Partisan novelty
designed 10: early autumn functions.
The Princess gown bids fair to be
exceedingly popular for outdoor wear
but none bus the woman who has i'm
plicit faith in her dressmaker and con
fidencs in the lines Of her own figure
should adopt this graceful but trying
style.
Of course, no display Of materials
would be complete unless the serges
were in evidence. They are here this
season, just rs OF old, only in q greater
variety as to their quality. The

! All the tailor-made skirts hang per-
fectly, and the secret Of this is due to
their lining. Nothing but the best
silk is used for this purpose. A goot
quality. of changeablo talfeta is mos
in favor. 1t will frequently happier
this season that the lining OF a tailo
gown will be equally as expensive a
, the material itself. ss
Ottoman cloth promises to be on
, of the most popular materials Of tn
, winter season. 1t IS shown in grea
, variety of designs. The Ottoman clot]
> in two co}ors is distinct novelty
, The foundation is generally OF som
light shades with the ribs IN darl
! color. The ribbing is so close togethe
+ that but little of the ground wor]
shows. The plain ottomans come i!
. both coarse and fine ribs, and max
: serviceable as vel! as charming gowns
