FASHION NEWS AND NOTES.

'........ ......... .............:
New York, Jan. Silt is at last de-
termined that many III tie fashions 80
popular last year are to remain with
us through the coming season.
Guimpes and undersleeves or long
cuffs will continue the favorites they
were last year In combination with silks
and muslins. The latter are shown in
much befiowerd patterns, the blossoms
being very large and handsome. If
possible they are even prettier than
last year. Rose and carnation designs
are particularly charming, and one
patterned in geraniums, flower and
leaf, is lovely.
The embroidered Swis muslins also
are great favorites. Some of these are
all white, some in combinations of
color, and some in black and white
The latter are very attractive either
with white ground with a widely
scattered spray embroidered in black,
or black ground with large or small
sprigs in white. A gray ground is
also shown with dainty gray sprig
design, this being newer than the
black and white.
The Partisan fancy for shades of
gray which has been so decidedly in
evidence all winter promises to hold
over into the summer and very likely
into late autumn. Some of these gray
Swisses are embroidered in self-tones,
some in white and some in black. A
creamy gray is much admired, being
Il sort of pale dove color covered with
tiny sprigs of both black and white set
far apart.
Linen and batistes also are very pop
ular covered with these same embrOid-
cred sprigs. Sometimes the decoration
is in opposite color from the ground
work, but embroidery in the tone of
the material is really in better taste.
Linens are shown in every conceiva-
bic variety and quality. White Of
course leads, but colOrs are seen in
plenty and by no means pale of shade.
Blue. violet and rose are shown with
lovely embroideries to match on a
white ground work. These trimmings
are in different widths for edgings or
insertings, or in piece for boleros or
bodices.
In contrast to these fanciful sheer
goods are the cloths shown for spring
wear. These are very smooth in finish
and many of them in hair line stripes
They are made with the well-proved
circular skirt moulded to the hips but
falling free below with easy grace.
The coat is long and plain with velvet
collar and cuffs either in black or color
to match the colored stripes. The
sleeves of those tailor made
suit, with a twist of black velvet
style to the wrist. The short sleeve is
no longer good form on the street, or
in cloth. The shoulder line is clear
cut and the whole outline of the suit
shows fit. land style.
One of those cloths in lines (infini-
tesimal lines) of black and green was
made with plain circular skirt just
touching the ground, as all the new
skirts are made The two-thirds coat
was lined to match the green stripe,
and the velvet cellar and cuffs also
were in green. A jaunty turban of fine
black felt was the hat worn with this
suit, with a visit of black velvet
around the crown, with three short
plumes in darkest green for trimming.
With these cloth suits are worn the
ever-ready and favorite shirt waist,
Not the French waists, which have 40
claim to be classed with the utility
bodies, but the plain white linen or
fine mercerized cotton, laid in many
plaits or tucks and fitting to perfec-
ton.
There is a marcerized Bingham
which has all the luster of silk and
