DICTATES OF FASHION.

Kerchiefs of tulle form pointed square collars worn over foulard and crepon silk dresses. Entire dresses are made of crepe printed in small or floral patterns on light "or dark grounds. Natty jackets of satin or figured silk material give a decided air to the simple frock of silk. There is not much to be said about the length of coats, except that the very long models have been abandoned. Evening gowns have long sashes of tulle, crepe or ribbon loosely arranged several Inches below the normal waist line, forming a crushed girdle effect. Among the prettiest collars in the new neckwear are those of the soft rolling type, with pointed ends. They are made of embroidered batiste, linen or lawn. To either side is attached a jabot or pleated lace.
