for Things. Skirt trimmings seem to be an optional matter, as some are quite heavily trimmed while others are almost devoid of or1amentatfon. One Cannot go wrong, however, in using bands of silk, few simple tucks, or graduated rows of black velvet. SPRING MILLINERY.
 This most important branch of sar- tor1al art may be said to have settled down, with the marked prominence of the dropping brIm, and long ostrich plume. The latter is too expensive for the woman of moderate means, but then the floral world is at her com mand, also that of ribbon, quills or wings, grasses. tulle. cherries, and even mushrooms and strawberries. The latter are the newest of new hat gar tackled in artistic folds is both pretty and economlcal, but should not be att tempted by the domestic artist.
 BLAC K CHIPS.
 These are in especial favor at pres ent, as vantage ground for the dis play of white ostrich plumes or colored flowers, and at Wana s some par ticularly handsome examples are seen, com bining the latest styles in both shape and trimming. LilacS either white or cOlOred, sometimes cover a V black ribbon or velvet bow at the front two or three dropping sprays at the side, give pretty finish. Pink roses are often combined with lilacs, usually the half-open style. A stylish toque may be banked with roses at the front and black wings at the back.
 PARAsoLs.
 These clearly evince the continued rage for hand-embroidery on white linen, and inconsistent prices prevail, as an embroidered silk parasol is less expensive than one of embroidered linen. These have plain straight, light-wood handles, with a rosette on the handle. Fancy parasols are in the Pompadour or Dresden silk, and red or "crushed strawberry" are also in great vogue. Lace inserts are charming, and every combination of black and white is acceptable. White chiffon holds it's own, the border finished with ruff1es. Black Chantilly lace over white, or white lace over white show refined and elegant taste.
 TAN SHOES
 The half-high tan shoe is in great demand, and of course, hosiery to match. Ribbon lacings and a hand some bow on the instep, impart a stylish air, and as the length of skirts still admit a full view of footwear, the latter is of special importance.i Black patent leather has lost no ground and pretty variety comes with white or colored facing at the upper edge of the shoe, which is termed collar" Of colored shoes there is no end, as fashion demands that almost everything must harmoniZe in color.
