the most exqulsitely fashioned chiffon roses, with punches of maidenhair fern done in velvet Those are to be ap- pliqued flat upon gowns that grace formal functions, the roses standing out In bold relief upon the gsuzy surface. The fash ioning of those blossoms from chiffon or ribbons-either material Is equally In fashionable favor just now-is quite an art, one that the regular artificial flower makers are taking up with much success and the amateur followers came close be- hind. Even hats are on view with this class of trimming for their sole adorn- ment, and 1t must be confessed that upon q youthful face and figure the result Is all that could be desired.
 In those separable appliques that offer such opportunity to the clever designer, sunhowers and daisies are quite promi- nent. Wheat and barley ears, too, afford graceful lines, and there is lack of set or mathematical outline to the new pro- auctions in this line.
 Feathers are quite a favored motif, and one sees ostrich feathers. peacock eagle, bird of paradise and other plumes clever ly reproduced in lnces of various kinds. The heavy guipures. as already hlnted, are to be In the highest kind of favor. The Irish laees, however, show no signs of a waning vogue. Indeed, so much to the contrary, there is not enough of the exquisite Limerick lace upon the market to meet the demand, and machine-made limitations are commanding pretty nearly as high a price abroad as the real thing used to do. Carrickmacross Is another Irish product that meets with favor; while as the real Irish crochet, 1t is rap idly becoming to be worth almost its weight In gold, for the real thing Is so light and fine that its weight in bulk Is inappreciable.

fetching novelties that have been dis played for long time is that gypsy bon net pictured. The original was designed by a famous Fifth avenue outntter who deals exclusively with children's stuff. and who acknowledges that the little custo- mer for whom the first one was made was the inspiration of the design The plateau Is in dull green shade of pan anna all hand woven, the green being somewhat upon the grayish sage order The shape Is bent fantastically, It's duted folds caught to the velvet-covered head piece that makes 1t set well and comfort ably upon the head. Pale blue satin rib- bons harmonize prettily with the grayish- green of the straw and display one of the most favored of the new collar combina- tions and wreaths of dark green foliage with little snow berries and close punches of white snowball flowers go to its trimming. and there are old-fashioned- looking strings of the same shade Of pale blue moire ribbon coming from the sides to the front.

Fashion Notes.

Some Of the Imported hand-made lin. gerie gowns and blouses display a yoke and collar built up In one-that is. with out seam or joining between the two pieces. There Is sure to be trouble anent the adjustment of these to the American wearer. for 1t Is a noted fact that the French woman is as proud of her slender throat as she is of her slen- der ankles. One way suggests itself, and that Is the ripping out of the hem at the back, placing a little silk facing there through which the little rods of feather bone that are to hold the sheer material in place can be run. The fraction of an Inch in the width of tAe collar makes all the difference in the world hetweon the comfort and discomfort of the wearer
 At formal functions it is no longer con sldersd proper to place any food or sug- gestion of food upon the table. he service is altogether la Russo. and the guests are not supposed to be furnished with even a menu card, the waiter merely murmuring the name of the dish when presenting 1t at the guests left-hand side. Table decorations are confined to a few blossoms, each one supposed to be a per feet specimen of It's Kind, the linen, lace and embroidery being of such character as to render other decoration more or less superfuous.
 Little porte-bonheurs, or bringeres Of good luck, are among the most favored of the trihes that are offered as bridge prizes nowadays. A little pig In solid gold will cost some five gulneas, or s2a (roughly computed), and Is supposed to fetch along all sorts of good fortune U its clever winner.

speedwell-all are deemed highly lucky in their associations; and the woman who is altogether and entirely above indul- gence In such small superstltions nova days might as well be out of the times, for she Is distinctly out of the fashion. It is quite a pretty conceit, this of hostess giving good-lu souvenirs to her guests. and one that Is bound to spread vigorously once 1t is introduced on this side of the water.
 Long streamers of ribbon are again floating In the breezes They depend on the guise of crayat ends from collars. they make shower ends to girdles and sashes, they deck the back of those large and Hopping picturesque shepherdess shapesi and there is no doubt but that the clever girl who likes, and, better still, knows how, to make a graceful breezy appear ance will devise still other uses for ths floating strands by the time that she has donned her heecy and diaphanous summer gowns.
 There are some of the smart little open checks displayed in wash silks that will be just the thing for summertime wear, and which are offered at really ridicu' lousy small prices. This Is an instance of where 1t Is not the cost of the mate rial that contributes to the success of gown, but rather the clever ideas that go to its making. For 50 cents the yard one can purchase those smart silksi they are said to launder like the proverbial pocket handkerchief-with due care, of course, and there Is no wear-out to them 1t will require some 20 yards to a frock. for they do run narrow. those wash silks, and, with the addition of little velvet ribbon, some coarse but effectively pat termed lace and modish girdle in some contrasting color a frock can be evolved for comparatively little that will carry It's wearer we'll through the vicissitudes of the summer travel and vacation time. They do not crush, those wash silks. and in this respect they are like the fashion able mohairs. And, in addition, they pre- sent all the smart cachet of silken frosh at a season when silk is at the height oi its vogue.

worn in the simple lines that have char acterized them for so long. They are not supposed to be wired nor twisted in any way, and the preferred garnlture Is a big splashing Alsatian bow of ribbon across the front, extending well along the sides, and with perhaps a modest little bow top ping a pair of short streamers in the back. Sometimes a smart shaded quill, with a gilt line long its center Is thrust through the loops. When the child wear CT is of the short and plump type thls clever little touch on the hat will go far towards making a piquant impression.
 The lingerie hat abates not one jot of it's modish popularity, but like all the other good things that hold over from one year to another, there are certain little touches that go to make 1t quite different from its predecessors. The new ones dis play ribbon trimmings exclusively, and there are smart little bows tucked In un- der the brim that add lot to its success.

Quaint B-eton Bonnet.

A charmingly quaint shape is that bor- rowed from the old-tlme bonnet of the Breton housewives, and one that develops well in lingerie materials. There Is a large and rather low crown, with three or four shaped f1ounces or rufies for the brim; these broad in front and mar rowing at the sides, they disappear alto gether at the back of the bonnet cravat of ribbon is tied stiffiy around the crown, the bow spreading well across the front, with several loops and straight ends. In place of. the usual millinery wires some clever makers substitute rods of collar bone, making the frame alto gether of this flexible featherbone, so that the entire hat may be put through the processes of the laundry without dan ger of showing rust spots, a catastrophe that is bound to occur whenever wire frame makes the acquaintance of water, but which Is obviated in the featherbone
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-02-25

Troy, Greek key patterns, cunning scrolls and rococo borders. interlacing ovals and lntersecting circles-all take on added charm when fashioned of the soft pile fabric. Then when one of the metallic gauge ribbons are pleated tightly after the richelieu mode and used as an edging to define all of this conventionalized work the height of the mode is attained, and the gown so adorned takes front rank at once in the procession of fashion.
 One of the latest conceits is for lace robes constructed chiefly of houncings cleverly joined together and backed with either lace or chiffon of harmonizing or contrasting tint. One charming one Is in pale blue over a rosy mauye, the latter color in velvet ribbon being liberally used for trimming in the shape of escaliers of bows and deep crush celnture. Another displays a lavendar lace over pale yellow chiffon, this in turn being posed over pale pink peau de cygne, changeable or shot ribbons of louisine displaying all three colors fashioning festooned lines over each dounce. the point of each fes- toon being caught with much crushed rosette.
 Upon gowns that are intended to do duty right along into the summer time one sees odd little touches of fur Indeed, in this new scheme of things fur Is re- garded solely as a trimming accessory, and not as an indication of warmth or winter weather Charming teagowns of chiffon are trimmed with bands of fur in conjunction with heavy guipure lace and en passant be it remarked that the heavy gulpures lead all the other laces in mode this year-and opera wraps of the same flmy material show the similar style of adornment, with. perhaps. the addition of exquisite bead embroidery to heighten the effect

New 1ork.
 In these days of specialized endeavor in all walks of life. small wonder Is 1t that there should be miiliners especially for the little folks.
 Along Fifth avenue Madison avenue, and the side streets that run between there are several of those smart shops that cater exclusively to the denlzens of the nursery and the schoolroom. Some of them make frocks and wraps. as we'll Rs hats and bonnets for their Juvenile customers, but even in such cases the millinery department is In the hands of one special designer The result Is that the children whose parents can afford to patronlEe those exclusive. and equally ex- penEive places. are apt to be gowned with just thnt correct degree of modish Bimplicity which betokens a long purse, and knowledge of how to best spend It's contents.
 Just now the designers are busy. Indeed, making up all sorts of smart confectlons Ito adorn the ourls of dear little Miladl of anywhere from months to IS years. In other days q girl was supposed to be ready for presentation to society in gen eral at 1T. and to be married by the time that she WAS 20 or 21 at most. But now adays 1e to 21 is considered the proper Rge at which to enter society, so those clever people who cater to children still retain the. miss of IS upon their books hnd in their good graces.
 A sweet simplicity marks the best of the new designs. There is the most de- ghtful variety as to. type, shape, raw material and color; but the verdict Is that Ito be modish. or to be even within strik- ling distance of the mode, the chapeau must be distinctly simple In outline and somewhat scant as to trimming. Here Is where the cleverness of the milliner must be made to tell, for It Is in the shape It. self that the smartness of line and design must be apparent; the trimming Is not supposed to help 1t out even one little bit.
 There are some fetching bonnets In course of preparation that are Intended to 1 be worn with the oldtime style of frocks which the French are advocating so strenuously just now. The Norman and | the Breton types of bonnet chime in de- |lghtfully with those Ideas, and they are made up in all sorts of materials, straw, 3linen, lace, embroidery, ribbons and what not. The mob cap of the time of the Directorate. too, is on view, and one can well imagine any of the small girls of

this dainty little chapeau of straw and roses and velvet ribbons. The crown fol- lows the prevailing drum shape and sets comfortably to the shape of the head. The brim is double, with fascinating dip in the center front, the upper part trimmed with a long wreath of loops of paleblue velvet ribbons, and the lower part with little white Scotch roses The double brim Is broad on the sides, narrowing to almost nothing In the back, and tits delightfully."- at one side to let the rib bon bow that confines little Miladis love locks show itself. The underbrim is faced with one of those novel pompadour printed nets, the design being roses and forget-me- nots upon pale-pink tinted ground. Quaint looking toe strings of the narrow velvet ribbon are brought from the back and caught loosely without tying in the front. "Phipps" shepherdess for the

ones acquaintance dressed after the fashions of children of that time, with a gulmpe, a shortwaisted and scant-skirted frock of some sheer woolen material, short sleeves, quaint little mitts and this big mob cap with its huted fril and stlff ribbon crayat, with, perhaps, if she is great little lady, indeed, three upstand- fng ostrich tips at one side.
 The peasant caps of the provinces of France are quite an inspiration to the creative milliner, and with the clever turns and twists that she can give to them, they assume quite modern and different shape. When made in linen, as were their originals, they are so planned ns to be put through the processes of the. laundry without in any way losing their distinctive shape and charm. When the fond mother desires to expend quite little money for her daughters head wear, she can order those in hand em- broidered linens, with whlpplngs of real valenciennes along the buttonholed seal loped edges.
 The big flat plateaux that can be wired and bent into all sorts of fetching and original shapes are treasure trove to the milliner who likes to study the faces and features of her small clients, and then make chapeau that shall be modlsh, dis tinctive and individual in It's impression. One milllner has gotten up what she calls B gypsy bonnet, and declares that the idea came to CT from one of her little clients. The orlgi1al Is In a dull grayish-green panama, all handwoven-and, by the way, hfter white those soft grayish greens that the French list as tllleul, or linden leaves, are considered far and away the most modish for nursery wear This bonnet has headslze in velvet to match the straw, and to this the futed folds of the flat plateau are caught. There Is suggestion of a scoop in front, but the mass of material Is at the back, making the short front and long back line that is DO modish today in grownup fashions. Just a wreath of green foliage, with It. tie white snow berries at close intervals and few white snowball flowers tucked Into the huted folds make the trimming; and there are a few crushed rosettes of bale blue moire ribbon, with long tie strings of the same to complete the quaint Appearance.
 This combination of pale blue and gray Ish-green Is one that promises to be ex- tremely modish for the small girl this Deason, and it is chiefly In velvet ribbons hat the color combination is carried out. That is, the fetching chapeau or bonnet B in the green shade, and the trimmings Include the pale blue velvet ribbons.
 The shepherdess shape that is being re- lived with huge success this year is delightfully."- accommodating to the styles h hair dressing that the little girls fol- ow. A becoming and sensible shape this, with its soft droop back and front, the hdes lifting just enough to display the mart hair ribbons, which, by the way. t is quite the thing to have en suite with hose that adorn the hat

New and Novel Types
 in Trimmings.
Some Radical Departures
 from Accepted Lines.

The gowns of the new season-those that are figuring today at the Riviera re- sorts-display some charming novelties in the trimming line-novetles that are so striking and so attractive that one oft entimes remembers the trimming scheme long after the lines of the gown itself have slipped the memory.
 One sees broad braids upon the fllmiest and sheerest of what the French term lainages-those soft and sheer weaves of wooden persuasion-in which. In the new goods, there is more than likely to be a little silk interwoven. Wool .chif- ions are among the latest, and those take the intricately woven artificial silk bralds to a charm. It takes a cunning sense of the fitness and the contrast of things to dispose to advantage those heavy tresses; but the effect Is deftly lightened by the use of soft chiffon boullonnes, richelieu pleatings, silver tissue bands and such other airy devices.
 Welcome news 1t is that there is the widest latitude allowed in accepted trimming schemes. Line, color width, depth--all are entirely at the will of the designer and limited only by the height, the fgure-what the French so expres- sively designate "allure"-of the wearer. Straight lines, panels, crosswise forms,

of success For both the small girl and her elders 1t is bound to be In the front rank of fashion, and already one sees 1t developed in all sorts of millinery mate rials That of a Yeddo straw of un- bleached tint has a facing of soft white panne velvet underneath, there being shallow bandeau all around the headsize to lift the shape off the face trife. Great big Alsatian bows make the top trimming, and a shaded quill is thrust smartly through the loops, giving an air of cachet to the very simple design. Both front and back are of equal width, so far as the brim is concerned, and just that soft. undulating dip at those points and the slight rise of the brim at the sides go to make It almost universally becoming
