HINTS OF FASHION.
A white China silk gown is self
trimmed in an elaborate, yet simple
manner. The lower part of the full
skirt is cut into small squares, and
these are Joined on four sides with
hand-done fagoting. There are four
rows of the squares, and between each
is a full shirring of the silk. A three
inch ruftie with two rows of fagoting
edges the skirt. The blouse is q mass
of the fagoted squares, and there is a
touch of ValencienneS lace on the COL
lar and sleeves.
Is the high-crowned hat coming in?
The importers show samples in ten
tatiVe sort of a way, but they express
little enthusiasm over the innovation.
Those shown have regular Alpine
crowns narrowing sharply to the top.
One oyster colored hat of fine straw
has wide, fiat brim, which sits
squarely on the head without a ban
deau of any kind. A crush band of
black velvet encircles the crown to the
top, with a long buckle of cut steel in
front. A bunch of black ostrich tips
and a black aigrette on the left side
trims the hat, which is a very dashing
affair, If a bit theatrical.
Tiny little CIRCULAR shaped fans are
80 be had to slip into opera bags. The
!prettiest of them are of white gauZe,
spangIed with gold or silver, the sticks
being carved ivory.
Long or short, plain or plated, ones
skirts must flare at the hem. Special
understands are designed to wear with
waking skirts that this flare NAV be
effected. The skirt has a deep f1ounce.
under which are several narrow, very
full ruft1es Bone cording is encased
in the hem to keep it stiff. This petit
coat makes all the difference in the
world TO the hang of the dress skirt.
The latest thing in hair dressing is a
curled bang under the pompadour
roll. This is arranged rather stiffiy in
a straight line across the forehead.
This is a green season almost as
pronouncedly as it is a white season.
All shades of the clear color are worn,
the bright parrot and leaf green's pre-
dominating. One does not, it is true,
see many entire suits of green except
IN thin muslins and Swisses, but
touches of the color are introduced on
the handsomest wraps, gowns and
suits. Green wells and parasols are
conspicuous. Green is a becoming color
except to sallow compilations, giving
dark women brilliance and enhancing
the fairness Of the blonde type.
A fairy-like gown of white organdie
has for a foundation a slip of white
tafeta, finished at the hem with a
plated ruff1e. Yoke and high collar are
of Valenciennes lace, with a touch of
Irish lace around the base of the col
lar. The blouse is tucked for fitness
and the lower half is incrusted with
Nalenciennes and Irish lace. The skirt
has a princess girdIe of lace in points,
and below this the skirt is tucked
The graduated f1ounce starts in points
from lace heading which forms a de-
sign of points and bow knots on the
body Of the skirt. The sleeves are
tucked half way to the elbow, where
they are finished with a very deep
pointed ruffle, lace trimmed
Wide silk laces for low shoes are
finished with silk tassels One Won
ders on seeing them how they were
put through the eyelets, but the ex-
PLANTATION is that the tassels, before be-
ing threaded are encased in pointed
tin castings like the ordinary metal
ends of common shoestrings When
the Iaces are in the shoe the tin pieces
slip on with a twist of the fingers.
An English walking gown Of blue
and white foulard is made with a plain
seYen-gored skirt and a jacket coat
the latter trimmed with a deep cape
collar of blue cloth. The effect was
odd but pretty. Mohair and alapaca
are also combined with face cloth eff
fecuvely. A pale blue mohair gown
has broad hens of cloth covered with
straps of taffeta, and further orna-
mented with dull silver buttons
