FASHION NOTES.

some OF the proLLl0SC nuHS tnat are
seen are very small and narrow, in fact,
rney are just large enough to slip in
the hands. The top and bottom are or
namented with heads, tails anw paws,
which hang down fully 6 inches. Sable
is the only fur used in this style. The
neck-piece to match is rather narrow
and flat with the heads and paws
crossed in the back and the same trim
ming in front.
On many of the blouses that are
shown there is a great deal Of ornamen-
tation and the hand-embroidered ones
are lovely. Dainty waists of handker-
chief linen which look too thin for much
trimming, really seem to have the most.
Motifs. insertions and hand-embrOiderie
are used extensively on them. With the
tailor-made suits, waists of plaid or plain
silk are suitable, although many prefer
waists of a wash fabric such as linen
or challiS.
Brown does not lack any popularity
and is most attractive when combined
with yellow. At a recent dinner a certain
gown was of yellow mousseline-de-soie
made with three tunics, each finished
with Inch border of brown velvet.
A belt of the same was drawn through
a topaz buckle. The waist was shirred
into square neck and outlined with
a band of velvet, while just over the
edge was a tiny frill of cream colored
lace.
There are so many different kinds of
trimming at the present time that any
one with good taste and skilled fingers
can embroder in numberless ways and
have her trimmings partly original. But
ton molds may be covered with black
velvet and then covered with a network
of some colored silks. There are some
handsome fiat buttons covered with
brown silk and on each was worked a
tiny pink rose having little pink beads
for the center.
One of the latest fashions for women
who have numberless house gowns, is a
collarette of chiffon and soft fur, chin
chilla and ermine being the favorites.
Some are made of silk or cloth and
edged with silk muslin ruffles or knife
plaitings of chiffon. The most delicate
colors are used in these little accessories
yer gray. These collarettes are also
worn on the street, but in darker shades
of brown, purple, gray and blue.
There is nothing that adds so much to
gown as a touch of beautiful lace.
limitations, which are often quite like
the real upon the first glance, should be
avoided as we'll as cheap qualities. Val
liable pieces of many exquisite laces
can be purchased now and they are
used to adorn not only evening gowns
but coats and opera cloaks.
Some very dainty jabots are made of
white organdie. or lawn with scaloped
edges and worked in colored silk The
top is finished with knot and ends to
match. There are so many styles in
this pretty neckwear that it would be
impossible to describe half of them in a
para graph. Some are made of handker-
chief linen finely accordion plated and
edged with fine Valenciennes lace. Dot
ted or pretty colored handkerchiefs make
attractive jabOts and fine net combined
with satin baby ribbon and lace are very
fashionable. Embroidered linen collars
continue to be worn, but the new ones
are all made in pale colored linen, en-
broidered in white dots or a design in
each corner.
Evening cloaks are almost invariably
made with voluminOus folds and kimono
sleeves and the favOrite material of
broadcloth and satin cloth. A charming
one seen recently was of a wonderful
color, something like cerise and gera-
MUM pink, but which was neither. The
trimming was in bands of filet and gold
embroidery with cords and tassels on the
sleeves. The collar was of soft gray vel
vet edged with black velvet and en-
broidered in gold. The whole cloak was
lined with gray satin, which gave it a
most beautiful effect.
