FASHION NOTES.


The inexpensive cashmeres, because
of their clinging qualities are especial
ly suited for such gowns.
Very fascinating little bonnets are
poke-shaped in front and cut straight
across the back.
Now and then smart gown has for
it's accompanying sleeve. the old fav-
critic, the mousquetaire, gathered
from wrist to shoulder, where the
cape-sleeve drops over it.
How We should miss the long wells
if obliged to give them up! Besides
keeping the hat secure and the hair
in place.
Very trim are the morning jackets
with ribbon-run beading at the waist
line with a little embroidered peplum
below.
Quite an original idea for the use
of single stones, is to mount them
into a design on a background of vel

had design worked all over the cen
ter with cut steel. and fastened with
4 narrow steel buckle, the width of
the belt.
Though many black evening gowns
are highly ornate, a simple one OF
very good style has no relief from
the somber tone but narrow band
Of glittering spangled trimming
around all edges of the bolero.
There is a continued tendency &c
shorten the front brim and widen the
back brim.
With another color underneath, .
ceinture and corsage chou of still an
other hue, the effect is readily
changed.
Women have an idea that French
made shoe is Of better shape and
makes the foot smaller.
1 Very sheer materials will be used
for elaborate gowns next season, with
pillows Of lace, and ruff1es, tucks and
embroidery galore.

SUCCESS.

A Boston firm recently offered a
prize for the best definition of what
constitutes success. A Kansas woman
was awarded the prize, and this was
her answer:
HE has achieved success who has
lived well, laughed often and loved
much; who has gained the respect
OF intelligent men and the love OF
little children: who has filled his
niche and accomplished his task; who
has left the world better than he found
It, whether by an improved poppy,
= perfect poem or a rescued soul;
who has never lacked apprecizti0A
of earth's beauty or failed to express
It; who has always looked for the
best in others and given the best he
had: whose life was an inspiratida;
whose memory a benedict:on."
