Fashions From Three Centers
PARIS FASHIONS.
BY MADAME PARQUIN.


Paris, April 20.-A new hand-painteG
lace has appeared upon the MODESTO
horizon and will be much used for
blouses during the coming season. II
is fashioned of coarse handmade fish
net adorned with decoupe flowers of
muslin applique to the net after the
fashion of Carrickmacross lace. The
flowers are delicately hand painted in
natural shades, the trails of roses. Ii
laos, &c. with the trellis work back
ground having a particularly natural
and charming appearance.
Buckles of tiny garden flowers in q
number of different varieties are among
the novelties in millinery trimmings
which are receiving a great deal of at
tentiOn These are placed across The
front Of mushroom hats, fOrget-me-
nots. buttons roses, pinks, stock and
Parma viOlets being all used indiscrim-
inately in their construction. Another
novelty is represented by minute
wreaths of flowers. a succession Of
which are linked together TO form a
chain and encircle the crowns Of wide
brimmed hats, while a great feature is
being made at present of coarse silk
net sewn all over with minute straw
pOis, the nets being drapet over the
crowns of the hats and continued in
the form of drapery over the brims.
Another and by no means such an ef-
fective arrangement is that OF the
wreath, which after encircling the
crown terminates in two long ends
which take the place of streamers and
fall over the hair behind, the flowers
being mingled with fruit and arranged
in a somewhat careless and untidy
manner, with the addition of brown
grasses and fern fronds. One of these
Wreaths was composed of giant Mar
guerites and small velvet apples, the
long ends falling most to the waist.
The fancy for using quantities OF
foliage in the construction of the new
coiffure ornaments increases every day
! the leaves being often of an entirely
different description to the flowers
which they accompany. Foliage of q
glossy nature is nearly always chosen
in preference, and the laurel with its
smooth surface and splashes of bright
yellow appears TO be carrying every
thing before it. Ivy, either variegated
or i'm the rich green Of the commOneI
variety is another faVorite, while the
exception which proves the rule as re-
CARDS the softer toned foliage is the
Partially which is shown for violet
| leaves, these being as popular in the
realm Of millinery as were rose leaves
two or three years ago.
In spite of pessimistic prophecies &c
the contrary, the vogue for yellow and
pink shows no signs of diminutiOn, and
for evening wear is carrying all be-
fore it. Lovely brocades with prim-
] rose backgrounds are patterned with
immense roses in pale pink embossed
velvet, while the shades of the pink and
the primrose are introduced in the form
of O oft 1hs -
two or three veilings.
There is an immense access of favor
shown at present to kimOnO effects es-
pecially for negligee purposes. The
sleeves respect fashions present predi-
lection for dropping shoulder lines, and
always demand as q trimming bands OF
| taffetas, either patterned or plain.
kimono braces abound, so called be-
cause they are composed solely of rib
bon, often of a Japanese character
They are intended TO be worn over q
blouse of net, fussily decorated with be-
ruffled and narrow lace frills. KimonC
coats for evening wear also make quite
a pronounced bid for popularity, and
some actually hail from Japan, as then
splendid embroideries and colorings
proclaim.
The most charming negIigees are
made of the finest white cashmere, in
set and ruffled with lace. They are
warmer than silk or cambria, though
even the latter with a batistic lining
Will be found sufficiently cosy.
There are more lace caps being sold
now than ever, and they are irresistible
| in their varied forms, and especially
! charming for the use of cOnvalescents
| One is d mob net, applique with lace
with a frill of lace all the way round.
Another has a round Dutch crown
with a fall of lace at the back and If
the front a soft frill of the same with
| long stalked little flowers such as dai
| sizes and roses intermingled with it. A
/ the sides were ribbon rosettes and Ions
| ends that may be either tied under the
chin or left hanging over the shoulders
