FASHION NOTES.

Our millinery illustration is < very smart. The toque is made of black chiffon with a twist of white chiffon or folds of white silk, between the folds of black. The crown is quite flat and trimmed at the side with a cluster of black ostrich feathers lying towards the back, the stems clasped with a paste ornament and upright osprey.

Foulard expresses the charming lace-trimmed gown shown in this figure. This design is carried out in more than one colouring and pattern, but the Paris model our sketch was made from employed a cream ground with a chocolate spot, the collar, yoke, upper sleeves, and wrist cuff's, ceinture, and skirt-border being of cream guipure. This would look well again carried out in darkblue and white, or pastel blue and white. .

The "race coat," which has become a power in the land, advances from one glorification to another, till it has become quite as costly and dainty as the gown it is supposed to protect. The one shown in

this figure is of. grass lawn, with incrustations, insertions, and flouncings of ecru Bruges guipure lace. A species of bolero is formed by one flounce, a deep collar falling over that. Narrower flouncings edge the bell sleeves and hem the coat, headed by insertion, and handsome incrustations come above that.
