Fashion Notes.
The ostrich feather Is to enjoy
great prominence this season, some
of the new plumes for hats being
over half yard long.
Etamine in grenadine effects is in
great vogue, and you can have it in
plaids, stripes, checks and in linen
tints with silken embroidery.
Those in mourning are welcoming
with a feeling of relief, the very
handsome Examines, which are made
over the best taffeta silk for summer
wear. They are delightfully."- cool
and comfortable.
So great is the beauty of the new
brOcaded silks that both the young
and the old will order them in large
quantities for dinner gowns, and the
colored Examines are simply be-

bilities of combinations, especially
when ribbons and Oriental embroid-
cries are artistically employed.

of this appear on many of the new
dresses, trimming the sleeves and
decorating the skirts. And there is
a positive rage for tulle bodices, as
shown by many of the creations of
many of the leading London and
! Paris makers.

novelties is the stock and tie match
ing the waist, with small turnover
collar of white linen. This style is
most effective in striped fabrics run
crosswise in the collar, tie and cuffs
and lengthwise in the waist itself
All the exaggerated fullness in the
sleeves of last season has disap-
peared, and the prevailing sleeves
are either the modified "leg O. NUT
ton" or the small bishop shape. The
picture gives an example of the lat.
ter variety.
Tucks have come as fashion fore,

ming has long been out of vogue
but it seems timely in its return al
the same time that several old
fashioned fabrics have reappeared

sewing of seams in bright colors or
black or light gloves. Many color:

this year-sometimes all together
and sometimes all in one gorgeous
hue. Fashion allows that muct
choice, and women should make the
most of it. The proper fastening fol
