Fashion Notes.

Fashion is most lenient this sea-
son, and, while she has established
certain fixed" conditions. for her
devoted followers, yet she has not
vetoed many among the multiplicity
of styles, so adapted to those whose
faces and figures will not permit the
extreme" Thus fashion can be
Modified to suit each individual
form, and a long, thin arm need not
be tightly clothed in ''skin-filling
sleeve.
Rudy shades are in vogue; from
Burgundy to deep mulberry; violet
in the purest blush tints, nasturtium
or robin red in wide range of color.
"Blotting-pao PERI pink, combined
with fawn, and full shades of royal
blue, copper, green, and peorly
white'are among the latest seen.
Royal blue assumes multiform de-
grees of shading, from brilliant,
bristling, dazzling blue to a. deep
Wedgwood. Combination with
green, red, heliotrope and brown,
either in weave or makeup of gown,
is quite the latest.
Trelliswork in narrow ribbOn-a
very old fashion-is revived but the
smartest, yet most costly, trimming
is the lovely hand embroidery, now
carried to such perfection. Chenille,
spangles, turquoise and rubies,
feathers and lace applique, enter in
to it's composition, 1t is used for
panels, fronts and bodices; also for
Louis Seize Coats. This trimming
is most lavishly employed, and we
wisely conclude that only the
wealthy will indulge in this novelty.
Bodices are trimmed with fulled
ribbon, edged with narrow. black
velvet, or very narrow Valenciennes
lace. The same may be used to
trim the bottom.of the skirt in the
form of twoor three founces.
Many of the daintiest vests are
composed of ribbon, spangled or
mixed with tulle or lace.
Belt ribbons are wound twice, and
three times, around the waist, and
Ipinned upward with fancy pins
This style can only be adopted by
slender figures, as it is little
bunchy. Indeed, ribbons can be
put to so many uses that those. who
have made large purchases during
the "selling-out" season have nc
cause for regret.
Referring to the subject of belts
brings us to mention the red and
green leather belts, 50 popular
They are beautifully mounted and
studded with gold, silver, or bronze
in filigree. Rumor says that leather
| will be used upon cloth gowns as
strappings and pipings, but 1 cannot
think this trimming will be ac'
cepted. Handmade crochet pass.
ementerie WILDE much used as g
trimming for wool and heavy weight
goods. In the fancies Gall black
are most novel combinations.
The narrow soutache braid, both
in mohair and silk, has been con-
verified by inventive genius into the
most beautiful braid designs, Joined
and ready for use, and sold by the
yard. Deep bands in fanciful SCROLL
cork-screw and other odd shapes
are so artistically arranged, that

novel feature is introduced in the
makeup of these by the combina
