An antiquated fashion that is in prooess of revival is that cf horizontal stripes (they ased to be called bayadere some thirty years agoi in dress goods. People do cot realize that this fashion dates from some six hundred years ago, when French and English royal ladies had the monopoly of certain splendid materials, then called haadekio. in that style. Sometimes the stripes were alieruate bands of colored velvet and oloth of gold ti:>ice. This fashion, like history. rep<>ats itself. A new and very lovely color, called parchment, is the latest novelty. It is a charming shade of pale yellow or rather yellowish while, more tinged with yellow than ivory white. It is almost exactly the hoe of very rich cream. The new anemoi^e purple is noth- ing more or less than the pretty lint cf lilac which has for years past been called Ophelia. There is talk of reviving still another old fashion, which is that of carrying costly handkerchiefs in lace or laeO' trimmed embroidery lo grand enter. tainmenis.
