FASHIONS FANcIES.
The Latest FriIIls I'm Dress That Have
Caught the Fancy of the
Ladies.

A fur hat with white lace draped
around the edge and a mass of white
tulle bows and ends at one side is q bit
of typical headgear.
Gold bracelets are in big round bands,
as large as the jade bracelet, set, at
regular intervals, with big knobs
formed of jade, amethysts, or effective
semiprecieus stones. They are stylish.
Little collars of fur are made sailor
shape round, and are fastened in front
with velvet tied in a sailor knot; chin
chilla fur, with blue velvet. makes q
pretty combination.
A pretty white scarf for the neck is
of the finest and sheerest null, hem
stitched across the ends and down the
sides with n narrow hem. On each end,
for few inches up, is pattern of con-
ventional violets, lightly embroidered,
all, in white.
A striking gown of brown, made with
the plain back, and fastened across just
below the waist, with two oblong but
tons or pins of gold, had orange velvet
let into the front of the jacket in
square, zigzag pattern. A bit of orange
velvet was in the brown hat.
A handsome chinchilla collar has q
straight round cape of blue velvet, eTu-
broidered with cut steel, for founda-
tion, while the chinchilla falls over 1t
In points, the standing collar being of
the fur. 1t is handsome collar, though
no one pretends that any combination
could be more beautiful than simple

a fad of fashion, and makes for change.
A pretty gown worn by pretty girl
| the other day had the bodice of dove
gray silk tucked lengthwise with fine
tucks, the sleeves were tucked across.
The gimp was of pale yellow velvet; the
silk below 1t was edged with little
shirred gray velvet ribbon, which ran
down the opening of the blouse, which
was at the side. The gimp was ap-
pliqued with white lace. Around her
neck the girl wore a string of big gold
beads. i
Fur toques, which are so popular this
| year, have the rims and sides solid with
fur, the soft crown in many showing SO
| little that it is hardly noticeable. Many
| of them are trimmed with either one
or two ostrich plumes passing from the
I front to the back of the hat. They are
| usually of some shade of soft gray, or
brown, those indescribable shades
neither light nor dark, but dull in effect,
and which have new names each year,
which this season blend with the fur OF
| the toque, which seldom has flowers
| upon IL to brighten it.
| Mademoiselle, who is tired OF pulling
| her watch out from the inside OF her
| gown-usually pulling bunch of un-
| derwaist ribbons with it-who objects
70 clumsy bracelet, and is afraid OF
losing watch set in her purse, and
| doesn't believe in having q chatelaine,
now wears q buttonhole chronometer.
| 1t is really too tiny to be called q chro-
| nometer, for the watch part is about the
size of the small compass once popular
| with men as watch charms. This is
| the button part, which she puts through
the buttonhole of her coat, while be-
| meath 1t the under side of the button
Is as large as quarter dollar, and pre-
| vents the little watch from slipping
| through.
A pretty girl who wears bright red
| ribbon high and tight around her throat
wears over 1t a pretty piece OF lace
| which she ties in q bow at the front.
| The lace is softening, and the whole Is
stylish and pretty. This lace is white,
but different effects can be made with
black lace. The woman can now get
| out her short, narrow lace "barbs"
that she wore some years ago and
utilize them in this way or loan them to
her daughter. There are n good many
pretty pieces OF real lace, in the form
of "barbs," neatly packed away with
the family lace, which it has been
thought from the ugly. conventional
appearance could never be utilized.
Now &c the Hma for fhem-N ". Times.
