AN IDEALIZED FABRIC.
Fleur de velours is the name of the
newest fabric all womankind is admir-
ing. Brown, blue, green and red; we
have il in all colors. and the weight and
quality of the goods is exactly that Of
MORE velourS. Fleur de velours. how
ever. is not watered, but shows instead
a surface so full of rich, light anU
: shade that at little distance it is
easily mistaken for mirror velvet.
Striped fouiards is another interest of
the moment, and united femininity
agrees that it is pure ext1ayagance to
buy any but the printed dimities at a
price not above 10 cents yard. There
is also considerable emotion displayed
over the tucked parasols lately placed
on view. Undeniably they are taking
with purchasers who want something
durable and yet distinctly springlike
while equally favored are the parasols
trimmed with frills of narrow satin
ribbon.
COOUETTISH MILLINERY.
A new hat br1m must be quoted 1t
turns down on the hair at the back
with a graceful little quirk that goes
right to the susceptible feminine heart. |
and the milliners are showing us how
the fiat of this brim is meant to be
thickly plastered with flowers-mixed
white and blue violets, for instance, !
since that is a combination seen every
where of late, or mat of variegated |
sweet peas. The milliners, without ex-
ception, are going in for picturesque
ness of effect and oddly in color COM |
bination, as follows: Pale green and |
sky blue ribbon adorn a rich green |
straw hat, turned down at the back |
with clear yellow cowslips.
A pale blue hat receives a trying dec |
Grafton of flaming wild peoples and !
silver gray silk, or a mauve straw |
submits to a garniture of deep orange |
taffeta and palest pink carnations. This |
tale in the telling sounds positively |
blood thirsty, but in demonstration the |
colors flow together with delicious har-
mony. Every wide hat has a Louis XIV |
wreath on il of small rosebuds, or |
sweet peas. or variegated daisies, the
wreath not larger than Nthe circum
ference of a dessert plate, and placed TO
fall half on the crown and down upon
the dropping feather weighted brim. In
accordance with this Arcadian tenden-
cy. the decorated pins, which fasten
on the trimmings, are small gilt |
crooks.
Fuchsias, wall flowers. and, with
their deep green polished foliage, peri
wrinkles, are among the blossoms that
have come into Towering since last
week, and a noticeable arrival in the
milliner's stock is the hat with two
distinct brims. One is set on the crown
half inch above the first, or brim
proper, and it measures a good deal less
in circumference. Just what is the
mission of this double-decker, it is
little hard to find out, save that there
is no notion more taking this spring
than trimming straw with straw and
comforting the edges of a hat with
shapes beyond the range of the most
unprincipled nightmare
There is positive fashion, grown up
in the last few weeks, for chicken
wings, regular barnyard pinions, with
which to set off alpine and turban
travelling shapes. The humble domin-
ECKER and guinea hen. the Haunting red
gamecock, and modest brown-clad
spring broiler wave long and tri-
umphantly from many fine head orna-
ments, and honor is due to the women
who have made the genuine chicken
wings more fashionable than aigrettes.
THE EMPRESS SKIRT.
Which way is the skirt tending? |
riously the new foundation petticoats
made and sold to wear under our
spring suits. This petticoat is called
an empress skirt; is not very full, COM
posed of colored sateen, ruffled scantily
around the foot and literally boned |
from hem to waist. The bones are
really a pliable composition, running
diagonally along the sateen and meant
to distend the folds of the dress skirt
which it supports. One or two spring
costumes have come over to us with
three reeds encased in the back
breadth. and every second woman
wears a tuft of haircloth inside her
placket hole. If all these details are
straws, then the wind is setting in an
ominous quarter.
Tomorrow, however, can take care
of itself, and today we are all chiefly
with the best suggestions
for making up ginghams and muslins,
etc. An attractive new founce for a
