NEW YORK FASHIONS. New Ideas in Skirts - Handwork - Yokes - Pointed Belts - Aecordion Plaited Grenadines - Foulard Silks- Parasols. In ort'er to accommodate the trimming whicli is supposed to be essen tial, the front breadtl) of a slylish cloth skirt is mucb smaller than it lias been for se vera 1 seasons past, and around tlie hips the lit is as close as iu the days of the bell skirt. Silks seem a nautral ground particularly foulards which are made either close-fitting or full, and a yuke effect in skirts. ís new and very becomiug to stout persons. ïliis is carried out by gathering the skirt on large cords, a little below the waist; or in many suiall, lengthwise tucks, souietiuies shaped into points, this style however belongs only to Jight-weight uiaterials. WHERE TÜCKS ABE USED around the hips, the same idea is illustrated ou the waist and sleeves, and hand-work is now the most stylish ornamentation. Tiny black velvët bindinga on colored organdy ruffles are held in high esteem, and on six or Beven doublé runles, the woik is soniething alarming. A trimming suitable for grenadine or hair-line striped silk, is wide lace insertiou use as a bitnd around the skirt, with another row bronght down from the waist at each side of the front, and carried around to the back where four róws may run up to the waist. Sleeves and waist are trimmed to match, and a chiflón sash in harmony with the lining is a pretty addition. ÏIIERE IS N()V A STRONT! FANOY for square or point yokes, (as waists or accessories) and tucked yokes are a pretty way of making silk suit waists, or a revers, shaped precisely like those worn two seasons ago, has come up agam and may be edgeu with lace. Many Eton jackets open quite far up the back, over a species of lace wliich have been lying by for a long time, if renovateil with Ivory Soap, come out fresh and briglit thus saving the expense of new material. Wide poiuted belts are always a pretty accessory, and ribbon or chiflón sashes, usually tied at the side adorn a light toilet. ACCORDIOX-PLAITED or plain grenadines over colored linings are in especial favor, and nothing is prettier than white grenadine over green silk. Brocaded grenadines are so expensive that few can enjoy the privilege of such a costume ; but any netlike fabric over a color, answers the purpose. Colored foulard silks are having a great run this season, and making economical dress, as they require very little trimming (although a great deal may be used) and are in "all over" patterns which are advantages in mauy ways. Blue, green or brown rank first, then white and black. IT CARIÏIES ONE HACK ;i nuinber of years, to see a plain, gray silk dress trimmed witta five or six rows of narrow black velvet around the lower edge of the skirt, and qjher rows simulating a pointed overskirt. Independent waists énjoy all their old time favor, and foulard silks make most satisfactory waists, and very sheer colored organdy over silk or satin is one of the season's fancies. THE RAGE FOR ACCORDION-PLAITING has extended to parasols, which in this style are of soft, silk plaited throughout or have plaited ruines. A mixture of crinison and white is very pretty on parasols a white band at the edge and a white top on crinison, or a crinisou handle and top on a white parasol, and crinison ribbon over the ribs on the inside. "Red" hats have not appeared in the numbers tliat were anticipated, simple because people of refined taste dreaded the "loud" combinations which ensue from the unlimited use of such a dangerous color. At the same time, when all the naaterials are fine, foliag is not used, and worn by the right people, they are really beautiful. Vero.na Ci.arke. Redueed Railroad Rates.
