Fashion’s Fads.

The long seamless shoulder remains in excellent vogue Handkerchiefs of the finest linen are edged with black chantilly lace. Exceedingly handsoihe are the ribbons of metal net, edged with an inch band of satin or Persian silk. The true empire suit has yet to be evolved, and it is doubtful if it would prove worth while, should it ever be represented among fashionable models. Cut ostrich feathers are now being made into braids for trimming hats and dresses. These come in all colors that are adapted for street and house wear. Many overskirts come within a few inches of the bottom of the skirt and are edged with a trimming which does not catch in the skirt, but merely gives a finish to the tunic. The touch of red so dominant in the winter’s fashions has spread to the artificial flower, and the deep tone of the old fashioned fuchsia now adds warmth to a corsage bouquet of violets. Beautiful bags with ornate frames, heavy with repousse work, are seen in silk, satin, velvet, suede or other fine leather. The frames are often oval or pointed at the tops, and the bags more often than not are rounded at the bottom.
