FEMININE FASHIONS.
Cheytots for Winter Gowns Smart
street Costumes-Elegant Even
ing Wraps.

The rough diagonal and cheviots fol
serviceable tailor gowns look heavy
but they are woven so -delicately anC
made of such fine pure wool as Il
weigh but little more than firm draI
d'ete. Some of the new expensive tai
Tor cloths are silk-striped, and the
| French zibelines vine-striped, the darl
surface feeked with bits of rich color
Oriental cords or wool reps, as they
are called by the modiste, are figured
with effective designs in tricolor.
These are novel, and are used for por-
tions of handsome costumes for spe-
cial wear, and for fur-trimmed red
ingotes and priucesse dresses.
Smart looking are the street cos
tunes of green or blue ladies' cloth,
made with a princesse effect in front,
TO which are added short boleros Of
the cloth, which reach but a few inches
below the bust, and are finished with
notched revers that turn back so far
that they cover the shoulders, and on
the fronts give the effect of one bolero
put on above the other. This effect
is emphasized by the binding of heavy
silk braid on the edges of the jacket
and its revers, and also by the rich
applique decorations on silk, satin or
cloth, the same effective garniture fin
ishing the circular founee at the bot
tom of the gown.
Pointed, deeply scalloped, and grad
uated silk fringes were among the inn
ported novelties in dress trimmings
shown 10 holiday shoppers. They ~
in various widths and colors, from the
Tom Thumb variety to styles half a
yard deep and finished with very wide
netted tops, These revived trimmings
show also jet, chenille, and crimped
faille ribbon an eighth of an inch wide,
with the silk fringes Of the
more elaborate variety.
The novelties offered in elegant even
ng wraps this season are all more or
less quaint and picturesque, and the
long curving outlines which distin-
guish many of the trimmed skirts or
gowns entire obtain in eapes, long
cloaks and redingotes. The collars are
very high and striking in effect, and
the wide revers Of fur often end in
jabot-fashion, terminating in sharp
points below the waist line. The hand
some cloth capes run the entire gamut
rom the plainest English styles to ex-
.remes of French fancy and richness.
The lighter weights are merely silk
lined, the fleece-woven grades have
no lining at all. Almond, antelope,
'riar's gray, and cream-colored cloths
are in high favor.-N. Y. Post.

CoLORS FOR SPRING.
Pale Greens WIZ lie Among the FASH
tOnRble shades-Pinks and LilRcs

The pastel tones appear under new
designations, for the most part, which
have been chosen with no reference To

greens head the list, aquarelle, pastel
and tresque, and these, as we'll as the
four Others further ou-detaiIle, tria-
non, rambouillet and pierrefond differ
ing in tone, but equally pale may be
classed as among the most fashionable
spring colofs, equally with the three
pale, dull blues, vatican, murillo and
rembrandt, and the very faint skyblue
ingres. All the pastel pinks are charm
ing, the rose series-miniature gauache
and chrome; the solferino tunes-vau
dyck, rubeus and raphael, and the flesh
tlnts-ninon, manor and mentespan.
The names of Dumas three heroes
Athos, Porthos and Aramis-have been
given to a series of duh lilacs. Allthese
pinks and liiacs will be much used in
combination with the water greens.

among the pastel tints, beginning with
