FASHION’S MIRROR.

One pretty lace boa is of black point d’esprit, made up over white silk, and edged with a narrow gold braid. The braid is not gamh, tor it ;s one o; the dull varieties of the braid, and i.i effective and in good taste. There arc czarina, A igloo. Pioca dilly, Napoleon, Byron, i: munis* ol York and ikmaparu.- c-Jlnn. to be ya nously used on coats, jackets, redingo tes and elegant evening wraps during the coining winter season. A pretty effect is given a separate waist by having lapels turned back from the narrow vest the full length of the waist. One pretty light waist ol silk has a narrow vest ol white chiffon, and the silk of the waist turned back from it i« faced with plaid. Some charming hats are made of quarter-inch wide strips of fine felt and velvet, interwoven in basket fashion. The brim is either draped velvet, silk or felt. A variation of , this is made by braiding the strip* flatly and loosely, then sewing them together in a circular form to fit the crown. The material may be all one color or a mingling of black and white. j The rage for something new ha* now reached the "nighties,” and the erstwhile favorite ‘‘Mother Hubbard” gown is placed in the background by the new cassock gowns. 'These, as • their name implies, are modeled after the ecclesiastical garment of that name, even to the flowing sleeves. They come in white, bands of pink and pale blue chambray bordering the neck and sleeves, j A pretty evening gown is of palest blue liberty crepe, with inlet lines of black chantilly lace at each seam, j The flounce is of the crepe, headed and bordered by the inserted lace, j which is of serpentine design. The corsage is draped in surplice fashion and the lace that encircles the decolletage serves as sleeves and extends to the waist line on each side, meeting in a point. A black velvet . ribbon sash completes the costume.
