PREVAILING STYLES.

White japanese silks are much i'm
proved this year by being heavily
corded
Oriental laees are especially well
adapted to the present styles of hat
trimming
Dancing shoes with gold or silver
lace are a new fad and some prefer
them to slippers
Chiffon wells. hemstitehed in heavy
embroidery silk of another color, are
q coming novelty.
Pongee is still favored material,
but it is made up in tailor fashion,
with straps of colored silk and hand
embroidery.
The attenuated mermaid train
should have a crisp. outstanding effect
all around the hem; the fiimsy, crushed
appearance is no longer the mode.
In spring gloves the mocha. which
was popular during the winter. will be
largely used again. though the heavier
doeskin and the dogskin, recommend.
ed for outing and athletei wear, will
be popular with swagger girls. These
latter have the virtue Of " hiteuing the
