Fashion's Fancies

Checked vests are seen tn tailored suits and fold back at the top in small revers. Embossed flowers of wool and velvet are shown on taffeta scarfs and sashes. The distinctive feature of the new* lingerie gowns is the prodigal use off filet lace. Turkish and Egyptian scarfs off' weird design and wondrous coloring* are popular. Petticoats are very short now, varying from a length just below the knee to a length just escaping the top off the high buttoned street boot. The panniers and shawls of 1830 appear With the scallops and draperiea of 1860. Yet, despite the wildness th dress, so far the "silhouette” has al* tered but little, at least, as worn is the street.
