FASHION NOTES.
The Latest In Materials and Trim
mings for Up-to-DRte
Costnmea.

The latest fancy in hair dressing is
to part the hair over the middle of the
head. brush it to either side, crimp il
In deep waves and leave an infantile
fringe across the forehead. This IS a
revival of style that has probably
been favored for more years than any
other ever introduced. 1t is the most
natural. simple and becoming, and,
unless ones own tresses are exceed
ingly obstinate. the easiest 10 manage.
OF course. the hair dresser will have TO
supply something IN the way of a front
with parting. This has been found
the most difficult Of undertakings, and
the troublesomeness OF arranging Il
has had much 10 do with keeping the
pompadour, bang and similar styles in
general use.
The black Ncapolean is still in evil
dence and Is one OF the favorite hats
for real service. II Is trimmed with
flowers, plumes or lace. or a mixture
OF the three. Stiff heavy quilts are not
appropriate for such thin foundation
and are rarely used. Fans OF lace. soft
flowers and light plumes are much
more suitable. silk flowers are the
favorites for the moment and are used
with lavishness that seems prodigal
They are. however. so pretty and SUM
mery-looking that one can scarcely
object to the quantities.
Tourists and others who are likely
to find themselves in localities where
laundry work is unsatisfactory or Inn
possible 10 obtain are making under
wear out of Japanese crepe. A hand
basin and cake OF toilet soap are oil
that is required to enable my lady to
do up her own underwear. and this she
does at evening putting the articles TO
dry over a chair, or pinning them up In
her room. where there Is a good circu-
lation OF air.
A very handsome pariydress is made
Of black chiffon, aecordion-plnited.
The skirt is very full. The waist Is cut
low. has a blouse front and bolero
effect made by shirring the chiffon
The sleeves are merely puts, long
black suede gloves meeting the lower
edge of the puff. The belt IS lemon
colored velvet ribbon with loops and
ends at one side.
zone objection TO some Of the nov
city costumes" said fastidious young
woman. "is that they look rs though
they had been made of shreds and
patches. They are striped and belted
banded and cross-lined; indeed. the.
make a woman look like zebra, aT
effect which IL never seemed 10 me wni
just the proper one to produce"
The fancy for colored underwear
that has existed for some time seems
TO be dying out completely, and pur'
white Is the only strictly fashionable
color now used. There are. however
some exceedingly pretty figured per
Gale garments that are used for trav
cling and emergency wear.
A costume of dark blue velvet Is on
Of the coolest-looking dresses imaC
Unable. The body is a full princess owe
guimpe. which Is made OF silk mus
lin shirred on cords. The muslin Is 4
cream color and the cords are OF pink
the effect being exceedingly pretty al
we'll as novel.
Industrious and originnl-minde,
young women are making cutawayl
and boleros OF fine broadcloth Will
heavily embroidered edges The deft
fingered damsel of to-day ean fin,
many uses in her wardrobe for all o
the fine stitches she is able to take.
Colored cords u1der thin material
of all sorts Is one OF the new fancies
A yellow guimpe Is shirred over greer
cords, blue one over pink. and al
ivory waist OF the sheerest silk muslii
has cords made of pansy purple yelve
ribbon.-N. Y. Ledger.
