St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1896-01-19

Deaos along the stem. This is quite
novel use for ostrich plumes, but no
one can deny it's effectiveness.
There are thousands and thousands
or new wash shirt waists now on view.
This goes to prove that the liking for
them has outiived the winter. These
new ones are made of percaie. dinity
organizes, all the linens, from the
green grass linons of Central America
and Fayal. to the regular Irish linen
lawns. There are linon batistes, ging-
mans and no end of madras handker-
chief patterns. Besides these there are
linon batistes with tinsel stripes, and
checks and plumetis as we'll as dotted
sW1sses. These differ from the waists
or last season, which were nearly all
OF very serviceable goods. Now we see
them OF all the most delicate thin
stuffs. The percales and ginghams will
| fill the place Of the strong daily needs.
Among the spring goods are a quantity
OF designs and colors in figured mo-
ha1rS, and the new challies are in Won
derful designs.
To go with and to trim these delicate
and dainty wash fabrics there are en-
brolderies to match. There are main
SOCKS and camb1ics in matched sets for
waists, collars and sleeves. There are
some all over patterns to be used for
| sleeves or for entire waists, leaving the
| sleeves plain. There are insertions of
every style and pattern, many of them
being arranged SO that ribbon can be
run through them in trou trou design
Some of the batistes have the en-
oToldery done in the colors of the gown
they are to trim, and there are beau
tlrul cambria sets of collar, cuffs, belt,
and sometimes other arrangements
done in butter color on white in large
perforated pattern. These last are very
snowy, but would be extremely hand
| some with pure white linen lawn
frocks. Some Of the embroidery is in
irish point design and some in Rus
sian, and still others in English en-
broidery. All are beautiful.
The fancy for button trimmings has
brought out long list Of buttons ex-
pressly intended for that purpose, and
| some OF them are really artistic, and al
most as handsome as jewels. There
are buttons with turquoise centers, sur
| rounded by small rhinestones. some
large and some very small, and others
In sets of graduated sizes intended for
! trimming waists and sleeves. Emer-
aids and rhinestones; also steel with
rhinestones; and pearls set round with
rhfnestones; also tiny medallion minia-
| lures are set in the same manner 1t
| is understood that none Of these Jewels
| is real, but they are so cleverly ini-
tated that they are virtually quite as
| good and pretty.
| The-shirt buttons now so popular as
a means Of trimming are produced by
| the million. There are immense pearl
buttons in natural white, and also srnok-
ed. Some are perfectly plain and 9TH
ers have gouged rings. These are very
| handsome and expensive also, but one
! or two, or at most four, are all that are
required on garment. The pearl but
tons are the favorites for all places
where the fancy jeweled buttons can
not be applied. Besides these the next
in present use are the rounding bone
| buttons. These are black or gray. I
strongly suspect that the most of them
are celluloid and colored to initiate the
bone buttons. The bone buttons are
used for the lounging robes, of which
| such feature is made in these DAYS.
The soft swans down hannels are
made into nice loose gowns, slightly
gathered at the top and belted in with
ribbon, or a cord and tassels Some oe
these have hoods and others wide sailor
collars. Long bishop, gigot or flowing
sleeves are made for these gowns.
Another very pretty style for a
| lounging robe is to have plated yoke
of cashmere, the plaits falling loosely
| from the shoulders to the feet. A
lace insertion band is laid across the
