Hints Abont Fashion.
Mahogany-red gloves are much worn.
Cords and tassels will be extensively used
on Winter cloaks.
Royal cardinal is the favorite color for
children’s dresses.
Fur trimming for ladles’ dresses is the con
fection of the season.
Plain linen collars and cuffs are worn with
tailor-made cloth dresses.
Fur beavers will continue the first choice
for misses during the winter.
Basques of terra-cotta cashmere are much
worn over black velvet skirts.
Long, plainly-made redingotes, trimmed
with braiding, are in high favor.
Leather lace with leaves of leather on
twine ficelle lace is a novelty for trimming
bonnets.
Braiding and embroidery are plentifully
used this season, both for everything in the
way of dress and home ornament.
Feathers are the trimming of the season.
Ostrich fertbers come first, of course, but
they are rarely used alone, a great bird, or a-
fancy breast, or the feathers of a Spanish
cock being added.
Braid and cord are the favorite trimmings
for walking suits, and ball buttons continue
in vogue. There is an effort to bring large
buttons back into fashion, and many medium
sized flat buttons will be used.
Terra-cotta r .is to be the leading shade of the
season. The darker shades of this are be
coming, the lighter are hazardous, very few
complexions being clear enough to bear the
ordeal of a color which mingles red, brown
and yellow in one trying conglomeration.
Parisian costumes are still made with ex
ceedingly full drapings and puffy panniers,
yet there are a few attractive models, allow
ing a plain skirt laid from belt to hem in
flat, perpendicular plaits or kilts, with no
trimming beyond a plain scarf drapid lightly
over the hips and simply tied behind in the
form of a sash.
The new ornaments are handsomer than
ever. The whole army of insects and rep
tiles, bugs, beetles, dragon flies, serpents and
lizards, crabs, owlheads, dogs, etc., are still
in the field, and in addition to these there
are many elegant brooches and buckles in
cut steel, oxidized silver, irridescent iuetal
and bronze.
Jackets and basques of every description
and color are worn over skirts of a contrast
ing material. The shapes are varied, and are
in styles suitable to every age. They are
severally known as the Austrian, the Hum
garian, the Directoire, and the Jersey. They
are invariably close fitting, are cut with a
narrow collar, and button straight down the
front.
Ottoman silks and satins are the latest
idea. These are both plain and brocaded
the newest Parisian novelty being large spots,
as a fifty cent piece, in either satin or plush
and far enough apart to show the richly rep
ped surface between. Velours have a smaller
cord than the Ottomans, yet larger than the
gros grains, and they also figure among the
rich goods of the season.
Some of the new hats resemble a great ball
of downy feathers, into which the wearer’;
head has been suddenly thrust, leaving the
soft down to settle among the waves and
frizzes of the forehead, lending to the ap
pearance a coquettish air, that, to youthful
faces, is strangely becoming and wonderfully
fascinating. Frequently a downy chick
peeps out from one side, and seems to be
whispering in the ear of its owner.
As to general outlines in the world of
fashion, the coiffure is still arranged in
severe simplicity, close to the head, and with
no false switches where there is even a pas
sable amount of one’s natural tresses. The
shoulders are nigh and square, the bodice is
cut round, pointed, or in long basques, as
one likes best, and very often is open below
the tliroata la pompadour, with a chemisette
Russe set underneath, and not low in the
neck all around, even with full dress toilets,
Waists, sleeves, at.d shoes are all uncomfort
ably tight if the wearer will allow it. The
most fashionable shoes, spite of the protesta
tions of the doctors and the teachings of the
boot makers, have the heels little and high
and the toes pointed. Skirts to dresses are
either perfectly plain, with a treble-pleated
ruche around the bottom, or are loaded down
with volumnioua poufs, pleats, kilts, or
Chicorie trimmings in a variety of styles.
Colors are unusually brilliant, and the wild
est caprice is poticeable in the manner in
which these gay hues are combined both in
dress and millinery.
Common Ncnse Hints.
Seeds and grass will not grow in garden
walks made of coal ashes.
Leaves of parsley, eaten with a little vine
gar, will prevent the disagreeable conse
quences of tainted breath by onions.
Cover the floor with the cheapest cotton
cloth, tacking securely. Paper this with
wall paper, some pretty carpet pattern.
When dry give it two coats of varnish.
With reasonable usage it will last two years.
If you wish to clean your spice-mill, you
will find that by grinding a handful of raw
rice through it this can be accomplished.
The particles of spice and pepper or of coffee
will not adhere to it after this rice is ground
through it.
Powdered starch is an excellent preventa
tive of chapping of the hands, when it is rub
bed over them after washing and drying
thoroughly. It will also prevent the needle
in sewing from sticking and becoming rusty.
It is therefore advisable to have a small box
or basket of it near your wash basin.
It may not be known to every housekeeper
that a sure way to prevent eggs from crack
ing while boiling is to insert the point of a
pin through the shell at one end. It must
be remarked that this puncture must be
only through the shell, and must not break
the skin beneath.
An Impolite Hnbit.
Some people do not appear to be aware of
the fact that it is exceedingly rude to con
verse in company, on subjects or about
things of which there is one person present
who knows nothing. They may become
deeply interested among themselves, and the
time glides away yery pleasantly, but this
one person is left entirely out in the cold.
She or he is not at all interested in all their
talking, and not being familiar with the
topic, cannot take part in the conversation.
Everybody should guard very carefully
against such impoliteness, and when it is
discovered that the topic advanced is not
familiar to all present, it should be banished
at once; or, if it is something that can be
easily introduced, then the ignorant one
should be acquainted with all the facts.
