THE FASHIONS.

grettes.
 At this time of year malines hats are in demand. It is not considered out of taste to wear straw hats with win ter gowns and furs, but when the win ter hats become a little worn and shabby 1t is more usual to put on ma lines and lace than straw. One of the most welcome inventions of the season is moisture and rain-proof malines' This has been chemically treated, and, 1t said, will bear actual immersion in water. Malines is not always woven in the round which distinguishes it from the more admired tulle, but this new malines closely resembles the latter, in it's construction. If it stands the test of sea air and country dews new lm- petus ought to be given to the fashion of diaphanous evening gowns as well as neck ruffs, hats and veils ot mallhes' The new gauge comes in black, Wgllte, and a great variety of light colors.
 A Gainsborough hat in soft brown ma- lines was made a little more suo- stantial looking than would be desired in summer by border of velvet flppoll around the brim. The malines was shirred very full, and the trimming was yellow ribbon and greenish yellow roses. Another brown malines hat was trimmed with lighter brown and green velvet ribbon and large bunch or pea cock feathers. Ilhe color combination was lovely. even if the feathers dld suggest duster.
 Sailor shapes multiply. The latest sailor Is of the very short brim Varle.y and is tilted from the side or back Flower-crowned sailors with narrow straw bri,ns are seen. A pretty model of this kind was in violet straw braid with the entire crown composed or American Beauty roses, With foliage. The hat was raised on the left side ana in the back, the cachepeign covered with velvet ribbon, and on the side one enormous rose. A pale violet ostrlch feather was held in place by this rose and was arranged cockade fashion over the crown .
 Another sailor shape has a wide brlln curled upward on the edge. one sucn of smooth straw in natural tone hao the brim bound with pastel pink VeiVet, The only trimming was wreath O. olu mink roses without foliage, the plnK flowers being mingled with featheriy white alyssum. A white quill was thrust into the wreath near the front'
 Many of the new walking hals, which are being worn to a surprising extent, even this early, are some form of the sailor shape. One pretty nat had a brim which was about an men wider than the very wide crown Ihe hat was raised on bandeau all the way around, the same being trlnilileu with tartan ribbon with q large DOW III +he hack. A band of black velvet trlm- med the crown, while on the leIt side was a large bow of the tartan rlO- hon. so arranged as to join the DOW uhder the brim A small black ana white wing appeared with the r1Dpon.
 A very dashing sailor in deep tan roueh straw was bound with carulnal red velvet and had a trimming or Ter sian red and gold ribbon. The hat was tilted on the left side, showing a pan deau covered with the ribbon. On the y;5ht side. on the brirn was arranged . laree nair of sweeping wings, cardinal red in hue,
 style of trimming which makes a large woman look like ValKyrle maiden was illustrated in still another sailor hat. This was White smooth straw with the usual short brim, A wide hand of black velvet trimmed the rather high crown, while on either side of the crown were rosettes Of narrow black velvet ribbon and two large white wings backward and upwards like inc wings on Mercury's heels.
 Rather more to the taste are the Leg horn Maruuise shapes which lend them selves so well to flower decorations. These hats can be twisted and bent into almost any shape and the most Incoming effects are possible small, iauntv Maruuise in natural Beghorn was trimmed with tiny crimson roses without foliage. The hat was bent in direet1v in front with bunch of four roses. TWO other dents on the sides were filled in with roses, and the now CTS were seen again on the top ot the hat
 Another Leghorn hat had trim n,ine around the crown of moss green velvet, The hat brim was turned up eharnly nearly all the way around, the right side alone being left untoucheo' Tba entire left side and back were covered first with moss green tulle and afterwards with the loveliest or yellow roses with crimson shadings
 Yellow. by the way, has been out of favor for such a length of time, that frs revival is doubly welcome. The most beautiful tints have been pro dnce,d Orchid yellow with sugges- ton of pink in its undertones, IS favorite. Amber, and the softer tones of orange are also very popular. Cream norn yellow like milky amber is one or 4to obeerfulest of the many tints of this lovely color
 F,vervthing is ostrich feathers and enormous aigrettes, These latter are 4erriblv expensive and so perishable in wind and rough weather that they are douhlv extravagant to buy or to wear. sin they are popular and immensely becoming. At the opera one saw all throuoh the season sweeping white ,5e.re.ttes worn in the hair, as on hats in the foyer. Paradise plumage in pale and vivid hues is also very favorite fo,. bair. and hat decoration. yellow fiat worn at the opera was of trans narent hair braid with round brim and a full, low crown. Around the crown was a puffed drapery of Alencon
