FASHIONS IN PARIS SHOPS.

Every other hat seems turned up at, the left side.

FlufFy malines are usurping the place of the jabot. There is ah enormous vogue for full draperies. The little, bonnet is coming in for evening occasions. Long jewelled gold chains are now worn outside the coat.

There are many marabout neckpieces in shawl collar style.

Watered and moire silk surfaces were never more popular than now. Among the lads of the moment is that of dyeing furs to match the gown. Tulle, edged and weighted with embroidery, is much used for overdrapery. Ottoman cloth—a woollen material with a raised rib—is fashionable. The smartest overcoats for the small boy are double-breasted with plain coat sleeve. Jet buttons are a favorite modo of adding the invaluable touch of black to a colored garment. Many of the handsomest silk gauzes have printed borders which work well into the new draperies. The spherical button in gilt, and also in silver, is appearing among the novelties in dress trimming. Small dogskin gloves for the little one are made like a man’s'glove, and close with a single clasp. Black and black and white—or magpie—effects bid fare to remain in favor all through the winter. The puff is again in evidence; it adorns the sleeve anywhere, seemingly, between the shoulder^and wrist. There is little limitation upon the length of sleeves, but the general tendency is toward shorter ones.

Tillle« is to be -worn, not only as a foundation material of many dresses, but as the trimming and decoration of many others. Black hats may be worn with everything and are always a wise-choice for the 'woman who may not invest in many chapeaux. ' . Some of the handsomest evening and house dresses are glove-fitting princess forms with a leaning toward the stiff boned waist portion. 'There are renewed predictions that the old hip paniers are to come back into style, and that it will be before the winter is over.
