Notes on the Newest Notions In Feminine
DresA
The rather eccentric fad for wear
ing live insects as jewelry seems to be
increasing. and the japanese terrapin
is announced as the latest victim. II is
reported that the terrapin are being
sent out Of Japan by thousands to meet
the demands in Paris and New York.
The most approved felt hats are ven
tiiated by n row of Sits in the crown;
bands OF velvet or ribbon car be passed
through them.
\ walking stick is regarded as n very
"smart" addition to the English girls
street costume, and very elaborate
sticks are made for such use. An ebony
stick with n gold knob, decorated with
cupids in blue enamel, is n OF the
favorites.
The empress Of Russia and her little
daughter are in one sense leading the
fashions in Paris, for all sorts and kinds
OF CONNECTIONS are named after them.
and the Russian hcaddress is copied
and adapted to the raricd requirements
OF millinery on n great scale. Fans
with water color hand-painted por-
traits Of the emperor and empress are
nil the rage, and car violets have taken
n new lease OF fashionable life. The
old saying that there is everything in
n name seems to have taken on n new
meaning in the French peoples cnthu-
siasm over the imperial visit. and most
of the new fabrics are named Alex
andre. Nicholas or Olga Alexandra.
The latest thing in wells is square
cornered instead OF round. and made Of
fine black net with white spots.
The newest belts are Of gold gallon.
with an oblong cnameled buckle. Other
pretty belts are OF gold, embroidered
has n faint pattern OF rose and green
running through it.
Very pretty evening capcs are made
of chine silk in dull artistic shades
with black velvet flowers over them
and trimmed with black fox and jew
eled trimming, which repeats the col
ors in the silk.
Buttons are much used as n dress
trimming and rs many ms 200 tiny ones
are distributed on one gown.
Among the elcrnncics o. underwear is
the corset and skirt Of brocadcd silk 10
match. The most popular corset is
very short in the hips and low Mt the
,op.
The new muffs are very large this
season, and those made Of velvet and
brocaded silks are rounded like n sack
ut the lower edge and trimmed with
velvet bows, bands of fur and wards of
cream lace. Ruches of gauzc ribbon
artificial flowers are another deco.

All About the Baby's Clothes.

The baby's bath, next to the baby's
nap, is the most important event in the
young autocrat's existence. In order
that it may be the means of hygienic
grace it is designed to be, it must be
taken in water of certain mild tenn
perature, which should be set by the
physician. And in order that the
water may never be hotter or colder
than that temperature a thermometer
should be kept on hand to test it.
The baby's clothes should be designed
for the most warmth with the least DOS
sible weight. AS far as possible bands
should be avoided, and when they can
not be they should be yoke shape and
of woven goods
Babies hoods of swansdown are
pretty enough to reconcile their youth
full wearers to the state of babyhood.
They are of white silk outside, of white
fur inside. and they are finished with
frills OF white chiffon about the face.
Jackets made entirely of lambs wool
are among the bewitching things de-
signed for infantile wear. They have
big sleeves and are lined with quilted
white silk.
