DICTATES OF FASHION.

Jet buttons are used on smart white frocks. As a rule the modish dressy wraps do not come below the knees. . The tendency is toward wider and longer sleeves and loose coat styles. Fancy buckle shapes are plentiful, the newest* being in bow effect with small tassel ends. Cut steel buckles are especially favored this year and appear to advantage on patent leather, suede and satin. Speaking of tassels, one would say that they are steadily winning and have taken the place of the pendant ornaments. All tones of yellow, shading from palest canary to deepest ocher, will be used extensively to trim suits, gowns and millinery. So many summer frocks have a very high waistline, recalling the Empire and very becoming for the fichu treatment, Which Is Caught with a cameo brooch or Hunch of flowers, emphasizing the graceful mode.
