Fashion's Fancies

The trains of the winter that swished about one’s feet in snaky fashion are no longer essential to the evening gown and many of the latter are quite short. Sashes for the summej frock of sheer material are fashioned of satin taffeta or ribbon. The long ends are finished with fringe,' beads, ribbon, flowers or embroidery. The Parisian jewelers are displaying hatpins with extremely small heads. They are usually formed of a pearl surrounded with brilliants, and never exceed the size of a pea. The smart headdress for evening wear consists of a narrow band of jewel* worn low on the forehead and decorated at the side with a cluster of paradise, ostrich or osprey plumage. The taste for the present glaring color combination has to be cultivated, like a taste for olives or strong cheese, and already the public is becoming quite accustomed to green and orange, red and purple, blue and cerise, or coral and bright brown.
