FASHIONS AND FADS.

Plush and velour are much used for Children’s hats. Marigold yellow is one of the new colors in Paris. Wide white belts are seen made of kid or suede leather. Wash frocks are best for the little girl’s first days of school. Wool brocades are being used, even for girl's suits. Persian effects will be seen galore on the new autumn gowns. New black braids have the basket weave and suggest astrakhan. A new braid is the combination of dull braids and bright ones: Pouch bags of silk or leather have pannier handles to match. Some of the new separate skirts are made of Jacquard wool, and prettily draped. Black, relieved by a touch of violet, green or white, will be much worn this season. Wide moire ribbon is being used for millinery trimmings and sashes. Rhinestones aVd other Jeweled effects are seen in the newest buttons' from abroad. Inexpensive bead necklaces are much worn to complete the color scheme of a costume.
